Great!

Also great!  What we really need is for someone who is WinLink-savvy to
create a wiki page for "How to get D-RATS to work with WinLink".  Would
you be interested?

Sounds like you're already there :)

I still need to put access controls on the thing to restrict who can
send, but what you have should do it.  Check out Dave's excellent
InternetEmail page on the D-RATS wiki:
