Point of sale needs to send every evening send sales data and
to receive stock status from other points of sale.
This is implemented by sending and receiving zipped dbf files.
I can send email using wininet.dll direstly.
However, I do not know how to RECEIVE email in Windows 98
without Outlook Express or third party utilities.
If this is possible, i can stop using Outlook Express.
Also, received email may contain messagedes directed not to
my program. I use special subject line to find email directed
to program. I process and delete from inbox only those messages.
