San Mateo, California-based CommTouch Software Inc has launched a personal computer-based electronic mail client that the company says enables Windows users to exchange electronic mail with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol hosts, without the need for a gateway. Called Pronto/IP, the product is said to enable text and binary attachments to be sent internally, or via the Internet using Unix- or TCP/IP-based hosts as mail servers. It uses the Winsock Applications Programming Interface to interface with TCP/IP stacks, and uses principles of operation and simple mail transfer protocols for exchanging mail with the host. Ships should start next month; the introductory price will be $70 for single users.
