[JDEV] File transfers

Mike cogently queries:

There's a great way to add value to a thread. :)

> POP, IMAP and MAPI (Exchange) ARE NOT "client-to-client", PLEASE! 

Sure, why not?  user --> sendmail --> mail spool accessible via POP,
at which point the server stops being so much of a server and starts
acting a little more like a peer (POP, IMAP and MAPI being ad hoc,
connected, conversational programs, unlike SMTP, which is largely a
batch-oriented bulk drop).  It all depends where you're standing.
No need to question my mudball of origin.

Netscape makes an MTA?  What's it called?  I've seen their MUA, but
I'm surprised to hear they have an MTA.  I bet it crashes a lot. :)
