It's possible to send mail using EIMS by constructing properly formatted
files and dropping them in special EIMS folders.  EIMS picks them up
and acts on them.  I'm not sure how this works, although the AutoShare
list processor uses this mechanism.  If one is already using EIMS, it'd
probably be quite easy to make MacPerl generate the files and put them
in the right places for pickup by EIMS.
