This allows slrn to call the Windows version of the sendmail command, which
has the following sort of command line:

Welcome to sendmail/NT, a mailer stub for Windows/NT and Windows/95.
(c) Nigel R. Ellis <nigele AT microsoft DOT com> 1994 - 1995.

This version built on Jun  5 1995 at 14:56:11

Usage: SENDMAIL.EXE [-h localhostname] [-r smtphost] [-m transport]
          [-U MAPIUser] [-P MAPIPasswd]
           -t {ToList} -f From [-s Subject] -F File

   {ToList} is a space, comma or semi-colon delimited list of recipients
   Valid transports are XMAPI (allow edit before send), MAPI and SMTP
   Default transport is SMTP


The fork() command still causes problems in the b18 cygwin gcc release, to
it's better to un-define HAS_POSIX_SIGNALS in config.h.
