[-port <port>] [-try <try>] [-profile <profile>]
[-u <login id>] [-pw <password>]
or

Blat -h
-------------------------------- Installation ---------------------------------
-SaveSettings : store common settings to the Windows Registry. Takes the
same parameters as -install, and is only for SMTP settings.
-install[SMTP|NNTP|POP3|IMAP] <server addr> <sender email addr> [<try n times>
[<port> [<profile> [<username> [<password>]]]]]
: set server, sender, number of tries and port for profile
(<try n times> and <port> may be replaced by '-')
port defaults are SMTP=25, NNTP=119, POP3=110, IMAP=143
default profile can be specified with a '-'
username and/or password may be stored to the registry
order of options is specific
use -installNNTP for storing NNTP information
use -installPOP3 for storing POP3 information
(sender and try are ignored, use '-' in place of these)
use -installIMAP for storing IMAP information
(sender and try are ignored, use '-' in place of these)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that if the '-i' option is used, <sender> is included in 'Reply-to:'
and 'Sender:' fields in the header of the message.
Optionally, the following options can be used instead of the -f and -i
options:
-mailfrom <addr> The RFC 821 MAIL From: statement
-from <addr> The RFC 822 From: statement
-replyto <addr> The RFC 822 Reply-To: statement
-returnpath <addr> The RFC 822 Return-Path: statement
-sender <addr> The RFC 822 Sender: statement
For backward consistency, the -f and -i options have precedence over these
RFC 822 defined options. If both -f and -i options are omitted then the
RFC 821 MAIL FROM statement will be defaulted to use the installation-defined
default sender address.
