Is there a script which will pop up boxes you can enter for sending email manually?

I want to send an email to internet network users, without using a packaged email program.
If a script exisits, or software exists which where you could enter all the network credentials and simply activate the script, and then you manually enter the email address, the subject and the message itself, and then you can send the email message - that is what I am looking for.

Any script that could do that would need an SMTP server to use to send the emails, do you have one of those?

Hi Bill. Yes, I believe so.

Okay, then to do something I think the following would apply.

There would be some items that would likely be hardcoded in ths script, or prompted for along with the email sending.

NEED: SMTP server name (typically like smtp.company.com)

If the SMTP server does not allow anonymous sending then we woud need:
NEED: SMTP send account
NEED: SMTP send password

NEED: a from address for the email

Then we would display text input fields for:

INPUT: To email address
INPUT: Subject line
INPUT: Body text

Think of anything else?

Sounds just about right.
