It's not that complicated, although curl is a little under-developed
and low level in relation to mail at the moment (I'm in the process of
straightening some of it's shortcomings out, such as the dot-stuffing).

Not for me it wasn't. There didn't seem to be any indication that
(for instance) libiconv is supported on MSWin. Pre-compiled solutions
aren't much good if they are using a different compiler (I happened
to be using MingW). I didn't want to spend days on it, and
as I mentioned before it seems to be aimed at the gnu-centric
eco system, unlike Wt.
In retrospect it may have been a better choice to set up a Cygwin
compiler/environment, but I'm not keen of back tracking at this point.

It would certainly be nice if there was an easy way to do email, since it
is often a central part of a website user service, although the choices of
what protocols and facilities to implement could lead to some discussion.
If you assume that Wt is running on the same server as the mailserver, then
you may want to use a direct interface to the MTA (sendmail, qmail, exim,
postfix etc.). If not, then some other combination may be more
suitable (SMTP, POP3, IMAP). I've decided to go for the latter, since
I think I only need low volume, and it decouples the execution environments.

I don't see it as currently usable for MSWin, without heroic effort.
