Rebol 2 esmtp cannot decode AUTH parameter

Question

Set set-net with appropriate values, but get this message when trying to send an email using esmtp.r from rebol.org. Any ideas what this means?

Answer 1

OK. I tried and was successful sending a message using Rebol2's built-in 'send function. Here is a transcript of my session:
