isv buddy program introduces me to devMail.Net

I signed up for the ISV buddy program.  Psychologically, I was completely unprepared for the gonzo internal marketing blitz they launched to get me to sign up - I mean seriously, how often do you find yourself in the running for an Eric Rudder bobblehead doll (to stand side-by-side with Ichiro) for the first 300 or so who sign up?   I'm still waiting to see if I made the cut or not. 

Regardless of how the bobblehead turns out, I'm excited about my ISV buddy.  Turns out they ship a component that I never knew existed but that I could have definitely used in the past.   "devMail.Net is an easy to use and powerful email component for .NET platform. You can easily integrate email sending and receiving capabilities into your application using SMTP, POP3 and MIME assemblies. devMail.Net is fully managed code written in pure C# utilizing the newest advantages of the .NET platform."  www.devmail.net

What a small world, I just purchased that component for use in an email processing/routing app we're building.

It works pretty good, though sometimes it adds a TAB to subject lines of outgoing emails. I still haven't figured out what that's all about :)

It's one of the few FULLY MANAGED SMTP/POP/RFC822/MIME packages out there which gives me piece of mind since RFC822/MIME suck and are full of potential vulnerabilities.

There's a bunch of old COM/C++ components with .NET PIA's available, but you just can't trust them in this day and age. It's too easy to fool old unmanaged components with string buffer tricks and such.

I recommend it for sure (if I could just get the darned extra tabs out of the subject line ;) )
