XMail 3.7 has been released. XMail is a free osax for Mac OS X  
(10.4.x for both PPC and Intel) allowing you to send mails from  
AppleScript without having to use a third part application. XMail  
supports the following :

	- common authentication schemes (POP, APOP, PLAIN, AUTH, ANONYMOUS,  
CRAM-MD5, CRAM-SHA1)
	- text and HTML mails
	- supports unicode flawlessly in many fields (TO, CC, BCC, SUbject,  
Body,…)
	- allow the customization of mail headers
	- handles SSL sockets
	- handles file attachments
	
XMail is released under the GNU GPL licence and is free of use.

Here is a detailed description of what was added / fixed in this  
release of XMail :

	- fixed a bug when trying to authenticate without giving the  
username and/or password
	- Added a switch to allow you change the date of the mail being sent  
(either a string or an AppleScript date)	
	- the 'mail date' command has been renamed to 'mail  
datestamp' (there was a terminology conflict)
	- the 'mail datestamp' now accepts an applescript date as its direct  
parameter and generates a RFC822 compatible date
	- added the ability to generate a mail without sending it
	- added the ability to write the content of the mail being sent in a  
file
	- when no smtp server is given, "localhost" is assumed
	- fixed a bug when encoding string of more than 76 characters in the  
headers of a mail (Subject, To, Cc, Bcc fields)
	- fixed a bug in the base64 encoding algorithm making it impossible  
for some SMTP servers to deliver properly attachments
	- fixed interoperability with some SMTP servers when using SSL  
encrypted sockets
	- fixed a memory issue when sending multiples attachments
	- fixed a problem when using XMail with a MacTel

XMail is free, but if you are a regular user of XMail, then consider  
buying a $10 licence for XMail : <https://order.kagi.com/?6FBNZ>
