Ben, 'send has got some gotchas in it. In some cases, making a
reference to an object rather than a specific 'copy can cause an
error. Send is a mezzanine function. That is, it is written in rebol,
not native C. This means that you can source the function, copy the
code, do a probe on the data structure that's being sent to the
port.
Example:
either only [
address: copy address
remove-each value address [not email? :value]
message: head insert insert tail net-utils/export header-obj newline message
content: reduce [from address message] ;; added
probe content added
;; change insert smtp-port reduce [from address message]
insert smtp-port content
;; might seem a little cumbersome, but might lead to a new 'send :)
