[AccessD] Blatt or other email

Given the availability of .net does it make sense to just build a little EXE of my own based on .Net 
and its smtpmail class?

Has anyone seen a wrapper to that class which builds an executable that can be called or a dll.  I 
prefer an exe but a dll would be ok for the moment.
