cURL with $runapplescript

[Michael Mantkowski]

Das,

We are only looking at using this method because we are still on Omnis 4.3.2.1 and the Omnis SMTPsend command does not work on newer MacOS versions.

Normally we use Kelly's TCPTalk to get over this issue.  But we have recently gotten a client the requires STARTTLS email.  Kelly is looking into how to support that with TCPTalk but in the mean time we are looking for an alternative.  This cURL method seems to work, but if we cannot get information on why a failure happens it is going to be hard to support.

If we were on Omnis 8 we would just use the Omnis SMTPSend command from within Omnis itself.
