files in a designated directory. This might be useful for
testing and debugging.
Internally, there is a fourth email sending method named "stdout"
which simply writes the text of the email message on standard output.
The "stdout" method is used for testing and debugging.
Perhaps we will add an "smtp" sending method in the future.
The emails transmitted have a well-formed header. The downstream
processing is expected to extract the "To:", "From:", "Subject:" and
whatever other attributes it needs from the email header text.
All emails are text/plain and use a transfer-encoding of base64.

Perhaps we will add an "smtp" sending method in the future. The
main problem with an "smtp" delivery method is that front-line Fossil
running inside the privilege jail would need to deal with all kinds
of errors from SMTP, such as unable to connect, or connection resets,
etc. SMTP expects the sender to have the ability to retry, does it
not?
