SMTP

Send an email

Use library functions, classes or objects to create a short email addressed to your own email address. The subject should be, "Greetings from langref.org", and the user should be prompted for the message body, and whether to cancel or proceed with sending the email.

MSGID = '<' + WEBrick::Utils.random_string(21) + '.' + WEBrick::Utils.random_string(21) + '@' + SMTPSRV + '>'
