Re: [ebxmlms-general] SMTP messaging (newbie comprehension problem?)

At first: Sorry for my late reply, I must have overseen your answer the 
other day.

Then thank you very much for pointing out this limitation of Hermes. At 
least this tells me I didn't misunderstand everything completely.

ebXML is definitely a topic which provides an overwhelming flood of 
information and possibilities, but unfortunately you have to already 
know a _lot_ of the overall environment and the world of eBusiness, B2B, 
and other concepts before. No easy stuff for beginners with no practical 
experience in this sector. One really has to bow down before you veterans.
