There is one advantage to retaining the old sendmail.exe mailer, rather
than using blat.exe:  Sendmail.exe has a "MAPI" option, which means that
it can be used to invoke the Windows mail program to edit and send email,
which includes all the capabilities of that mailer, such as binary
attachments.  This is a realistic alternative to having lynx call an
editor.  It also conjures up the use of the Windows mail program to
spool email, Unix-style and elegant.

That leaves blat.exe as the backup mail program, if there is a problem
with using the mailer that comes with Windows 95/98/NT.

P. S. Why have a -noblat option on lynx.exe if the USE_BLAT compiler
option forces blat.exe as the default mailer?
