I have a solution that seems to be 'better' (at least more self-contained)
than the blat solution ... I've posted code at
http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/Rmail.R
I'm not sure about security issues -- it does allow a password to be sent,
but I don't think it does anything with TLS/SSL etc -- at some point it
stops making
sense to keep re-inventing the wheel and interfacing to an outside package
makes more sense
