[REBOL] Re: Status of SEND function

Ok,
Authenticated ESMTP works with SEND.
Except, it exposes a password in set-net block, unless you use 'ask for esmtp
user. Cool.
Under the conditions of
set-net [email host pop proxy-host proxy-port proxy-type 'ask none]
send email "test^/another test"
prompts three times for username and password. Functional, but not
friendly. You only need to type in the information on the last
of the three prompts. I didn't try first only, second only combos.
After the first, SEND works without prompt.
set-net with esmtp user and password strings (not using 'ask none) works
but as noted above, exposes a password. It can be buried from simple
prying eye passes with trickery of course...
set-net compose [ ... "esmtp-user" (to string! decloak
#{ABABABABAB} "cloakkey")] works, but it still exposes
passwords to the REBOL savvy.
Anyway, I can use Phil Bevan's readmail.r to much greater effect
now. Thanks for that.
REBOL/View 2.7.5.4.2 testing.
