In the files /usr/script/*.pro, you can see the imitations of common
protocol as POP3, SMP3, NNTP. They are simply hack.

This is *not* a Linux newsgroup :-)

The syntax allowed is more like bash, with a lot of unresolved bug.
I think, man bash in you Linux does the works.

This a rare event! Electronics Mail advantage is archiviation on your
hard-disk; to fetch/send emails, using scripts on a RAMDISK OS,
on daily-basis is non-sense.
Scripts like "sendmail", "fetchmail", "rpost" etc are emergency tools
for the first floppy. I developed them when muLinux was a *single*
floppy system, as demonstration.
