Man, I was hoping it wouldn't come to that, since you'd have to download 
and possibly install a module before deciding if it's something you even 
need.

However, I just noticed here:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ProgrammingRuby/

That there are plenty of useful modules for networking (including 
smtp!). There's even a date class in the standard library! I should be 
able to build any modules I'm missing from those building blocks without 
too much trouble.

Neat!

Brian
