Can you be more specific? I've spent a few hours going through
literally hundreds of references to NSMailDelivery without finding
any of the discussions you are referring to.

My problem seems to be that NSMailDelivery uses the SMTP settings on
the e-mail section of the Internet System Preferences panel, a panel
that doesn't exist in OS X 10.3. If you've never run an earlier
version of OS X on your machine, or have always used a 3rd party
mailer, then you don't have any values for those settings.

So, what is the system of choice for sending an e-mail? Executing the URL:
<mailto:<email_removed>?subject=Test&body=test%20line%201%0Atest
%20line%202%0A> sort of works, for most mailers, but doesn't actually
send the mail.
