The Windows 3.x loader was certainly called win.com, even in Win 9x it was called like that, but it was launched automatically. Now, I don't know for sure if it was really a ".com" executable, or it was an.exe with.com extension, or a.com which loaded some.exe some from Windows, which loaded the rest...
Anyway, it seemed one of the most amazing executables to me at that time:)
If you communicate only with people who in turn run their own email, AND your server communicates with their server only via ipsec/ssl/etc., then it's really private enough. If not, it's not worth the complications i guess...

Yeah, yeah, remember the old days, when we launched win.com to play Solitaire (and maybe start Winword once in a while)? ;)
