How to lunch webpage without using SMTP server?

[Byron]

Hi Doug,

I agreed with your response.  In my reply, I mentioned that she would 
have two options, which are to either *get* SMTP access -- or -- to find 
some program, plugin, etc that would act as a SMTP server for her.

If she is able to obtain smtp access, then the code I provided below 
could be used / modified for it.
