looking at inferno's smtp module i thought why not an smtpfs?

all you do is write the 822 message into /n/smtp and it parses
the message and delivers it.

it's trivial.

a minimal 822 message is:

    Date:
    From:
    To:

or:

    Date:
    From:
    Bcc:

ok, we can toss the Date: 'cos the server can add that.  we can
toss the From: 'cos the Tattach has the uid.  parsing To:/Cc:/Bcc:
is trivial 'cos i have a yacc grammar that does that.

so MH style 'comp' is just:

    cat <<'!'
    To:
    Cc:
    Bcc:
    Subject:

    !

sourced into say acme, then name the file /n/smtp and Put sends it.
