LWBlat GUI Portable

LWBlat GUI Portable is a lightweight software application designed as the portable counterpart of LWBlat GUIk, a tool that servers as the GUI of the Blat program. Blat can be run only via the command-line console and is specialized in sending emails via SMTP connections or posting to Usenet via NNTP.

Drop it on portable devices

LWBlat GUI Portable can be stored on USB flash drives and portable devices. You can run it on the target system without administrative privileges. Since there’s no setup included in the process, you can gain access to the program’s features by opening the executable file.

Clean looks

LWBlat GUI Portable makes use of a multi-tabbed environment for helping you quickly access the key configuration settings, namely mail and authentication parameters, general options, and preferences.
Working with LWBlat GUI Portable’s GUI is clearly easier than writing custom command-line parameters in Blat but you still need to have some background SMTP knowledge in order to configure the process.

Send emails and configure general options

The utility offers you the possibility to enter the sender and receiver’s email address and provide information about the organization and email text message. What’s more, you are allowed to insert attachments and embed signature from plain text files.
LWBlat GUI Portable lets you pick the content type, namely HTML, plain text, or rich text, choose the charset type (automatic or UTF-8), log the information to plain text file format, and use timestamps. In addition, you can set up authentication parameters (username and password) for POP3 and IMAP connections.
You can make the application automatically shut down the computer after a user-defined time (in seconds) after sending the emails. The configuration settings can be exported to INI file format so you can apply them in your future projects.

Bottom line

All in all, LWBlat GUI Portable accommodates several handy features but they are not highly intuitive so you may need to spend extra time for configuring the SMTP parameters.
