I had no idea that ssmtp was under development somewhere else-- had I
known, I might've saved myself the time of rewriting this one. I can't
get a response from their ftp server at the moment, but I'll have to
drift over there eventually and take a look. That may be a while,
though-- what I have now works well enough, and I'm busy with other
things.

Sorry, I can't commit to investigating bug reports, keeping up with
development, and the other things I'd feel responsible for as the
maintainer of a software package. I didn't want to rewrite ssmtp, but I
couldn't find anything else that small and simple, which does pretty
much what I need. Having rewritten it though, I thought I'd share it
with other Cygwin users.

Jeff
