Ah,  The problem here is that Geocel.Mailer is an OLE object and not an
executable , consequently it is not just a matter of changing $mailprog
but rather changing virtually all of the send_mail() subroutine.  You
could in principle replace the send_mail() subroutine in FormMail.pl with
one similar to the examples found on the Geocel web site at
http://www.geocel.com/ .  I wouldn't however recommend replacing the NMS
FormMail with the one they have there as this is based entirely on the MSA
version and still exhibits all of the problems with that script.

I Have Cc'd this to the developer list in case anyone who has a Windows
machine they can test this on wants to do a port of the NMS FormMail and
send it GeoCel :)
