> What is the mingw32 system?
MINimal GNU Win32. It's a cutdown of the whole GnuWin32 package,
which is hefty and bloated and evil, but to my mind far preferable to
borland, msvc++, etc. I spit on their crappy IDEs, ptui!

hmmm... this sounds promising. I'll poke around and see what I can find.
can anyone comment on the pros and cons of such an approach?
man, this Outlook Express mailer is junk. look how ragged my linebreaks are.
*blush* once I get mail working with linux, I'm switching to pine or
something...
