 The Answer is:
 
  Via the callable mail API would be the typical choice of the OpenVMS Wizard.
 
http://www.openvms.digital.com:8000/72final/4493/4493pro_030.html#mail_intro
 
  There are examples of using the MAIL API at various sites around the 'net.
  One such example is on the OpenVMS Freeware, in the directory SRH_EXAMPLES,
  under the filenames CALLABLE_MAIL_TEST.*.
