Send e-mail with cURL
I'm pretty certain that sending an e-mail using cURL is easy; the command; the smtp data; the .txt file where the headers are locaetd; user name and password if required; recipient addresses, sender address. Or is it much more complicated than that. Basically, can you provide me wtih an example of sending mail from cURL.

Why would you need to send it with cURL when PHP has a built-in mail() function?
cURL supports SMTP but this is the only example I could find http://snipplr.com/view/55381/ and it's cURL on the command line, not PHP curl.
No offense meant, but sending email with CURL is like using a chainsaw to nail jello to a wall. Wrong topic and wrong tools. There is a PHP mail() function that covers the entire waterfront.

No offense meant, but I am so stealing that. The visuals are awesome.

PHPMailer is a good thing, for sure. If your application has economic activity and you do not want to spend hours every month wrestling with the details of sending mail, formatting mail, defeating spam filters, tracking receipts and forwards, etc., you might consider one of the commercial services. I use and recommend Constant Contact. Their service is easy to use and almost embarrassingly inexpensive.
