Rumor has it that Vintage Computer Festival may have mentioned these words:
Does anyone know of a free or cheap DOS (i.e. not
requiring Win32)
command-line e-mail client? I'd like something that I can use to send off
short messages with just the command line from DOS with TCP/IP drivers
already installed (via MSNC).
There's a pine for DOS-only, here's a reference to it that uses WAT-TCP for
Dos, here:
http://www.smashco.com/wattcp.asp
towards the bottom... includes other server & client software for DOS.
Here is a reference for Elm for PC (MSDOS) Version 2.3 about 1/2 way down
the page:

Pegasus has a version for DOS:

Here's a clip of their sys. requirements:
Pegasus Mail for DOS - system requirements
* Any version of MS-DOS or PC-DOS v5.0 or later, Windows 3.x, 95, 98, NT or
2000
* 2MB disk space, plus whatever is required for mail storage
* 520KB available DOS RAM at the time the program is run

Here's a page about setting up a DOS client for email with Dialup PPP:

Dunno how good it is, I just found it and cut&pasted...
Hopefully, that'll get you started... ;-)

P.S. Here's a link to the Google search I used:
http://www.google.com/search?q=msdos+tcpip+mail+client&sourceid=mozilla…
The keywords were -> msdos tcpip mail client <- ;-)
