mr2i.inf
Windows - Settings notebook - POP3 settings - Manual mode.

Never enough time, thats is for sure.

Yeh, my error. Command line only.

OK. I can handle that.
I was going to send this from mr2 but could not figure out how to change the
FROM address for the new message I was writing. There is a "Headers" button on
the window for composing a message but it does not allow for changing the FROM
(which I do frequently). I guess I could have gone into the settings and
changed it there but that will be a pain in the a.. if it has to be done for
every message.
