Question regarding the System.Net.Mail and System.Net.Mime namespa

I hope somebody from Microsoft can explain me why the low level API of these
two namespaces is not public ; for example, we'd like to transfer email
contents directly on a Socket or into a MemoryStream, and to do that, we
would be stuck to use SmtpClient to save the email into a pickup directory
then reread the file, which is a waste of time and system resources. Why
isn't the MailMessage.Send method public, or at least protected ? Because of
that, we are forced to use or develop or adapt a third party library, which
is a shame since the method already exists in the framework !

Regards,

If you want Microsoft to tell you something, you need to contact Microsoft.
These are public newsgroups, and most questions are answered by
non-Microsoft employees. Microsoft only answers questions posted to
specific dotnet newsgroups by people paying for the privilege.

Good luck.
