Now, that is interesting.  I have not thought abut mailing from R.  The 
main reason for writing the program in Delphi was that I had the 
compiler already and that is simple to program something that could 
mail.  Having a copy of a mailing function for Linux would be useful in 
any case, so my response would simply be: Yes please.  Would that 
function work with Ubuntu?

Yes, that would be tricky.  The problems my students get are quite 
simpleminded.  In any case, the checking is not automatic, I still have 
to compare the answers from the students with my solution "manually".
