Hello Richard,

So why didn't you simply use the 'delivered with windows' "freewware"
'telnet' to open the raw connection?
That's what I do when having trouble with a (SMTP|POP3|IMAP|HTTP)
server ... telneting them ... No need for a MUA to implement such
function ... OK, better SMTP and POP/IMAP logging would be a real
benefit (maybe turned off by default, but to be activated in case of
trouble), but a 'telnet' like console only for testing SMTP server
ain't something The Bat! really needs as long as windows offers a
telnet by itself ...

The only thing _you_ have to do is reading RFCs how the communication
has to be done (commands and parameters), but for successful bug
hunting a server you'll need this information anyway. Otherwise not
you but somebody knowledged about this issues should do it.

Just my 0.02€
