FYI,

I and many others have said this many times in the past and STILL
many long-time users are confused.

Insight.exe does NOT do SMTP (nor POP3)

Insight is nothing more than a file handling program.

It converts email files to html format to then be viewed
on screen by core.exe

It handles the email file attachments.

It moves the files from one directory to another.
(and renames them as needed)

It does not upload .TBS files to the server via SMTP

It does not download the .CNM files from the server via POP3

Both of those functions are handled by core.exe

FYI2,
Core.exe _has_ "authenticated SMTP" (finished it almost a year ago)

Made a small change to Authenticated SMTP so that

I hope this is now clear as to what is done
by insight.exe and what is done by core.exe

If not....
I'll keep this message around ready to resend when the confusion
rears its ugly head again next year or perhaps even next month.

In-fact............ let's keep it available right on my site.
