syntax:
  Blat <filename> -to <recipient> [optional switches (see below)]
  Blat -install <server addr> <sender's addr> [<try>[<port>[<profile>]]] [-q]
  Blat -profile [-delete | "<default>"] [profile1] [profileN] [-q]
  Blat -h

-------------------------------- Installation ---------------------------------
-install[SMTP|NNTP|POP3] <server addr> <sender's email addr> [<try n times>
                [<port> [<profile> [<username> [<password>]]]]]
                : set server, sender, number of tries and port for profile
                  (<try n times> and <port> may be replaced by '-')
                  port defaults are SMTP=25, NNTP=119, POP3=110
                  default profile can be specified with a '-'
                  username and/or password may be stored to the registry
                  order of options is specific
                  use -installNNTP for storing NNTP information
                  use -installPOP3 for storing POP3 information
                      (sender and try are ignored, use '-' in place of these)

--------------------------------- The Basics ----------------------------------

                  if your message body is on the command line, use a hyphen (-)
                  as your first argument, and -body followed by your message
                  if your message will come from the console/keyboard, use the
                  hyphen as your first argument, but do not use -body option.

                  -maxnames or -multipart

                  options files and recipient list files.  The default is ;
-superdebug     : hex/ascii dump the data between Blat and the server
-superdebugT    : ascii dump the data between Blat and the server
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that if the '-i' option is used, <sender> is included in 'Reply-to:'
and 'Sender:' fields in the header of the message.

Optionally, the following options can be used instead of the -f and -i
options:

-mailfrom <addr>   The RFC 821 MAIL From: statement
-from <addr>       The RFC 822 From: statement
-replyto <addr>    The RFC 822 Reply-To: statement
-returnpath <addr> The RFC 822 Return-Path: statement
-sender <addr>     The RFC 822 Sender: statement

For backward consistency, the -f and -i options have precedence over these
RFC 822 defined options.  If both -f and -i options are omitted then the
RFC 821 MAIL FROM statement will be defaulted to use the installation-defined
default sender address.
