wEll, I know it's considered antiquated but I always had good luck
with a software package called packet, I believe developed by a fellow
in Australia for Packet radio.  IT's a dos program, but I always found
it quite good.  I was using it with asap.  IT had a good mailbox
facility, captured everything to its log file when you were actually
connected to somebody and had a good script language for retrieving
things from packet buletin boards without human intervention.

AS for windows, I don't know.  I do dos or unix.
