Re: mail() and windows

I recently submitted a patch to cvs that allows you to use an external mailer, just as the unix builds use sendmail. I tested using indigomail, which has a compatible command line syntax to sendmail. To use the external mailer, you specify the sendmail_path option in the ini file (leave blank to use the internal mailer).
