No, not using a Beeb as a terminal, using the Beeb itself.
 
I use View on a Beeb to read and write email.  View the word processor,
not View a terminal client.
 
I use my BBC dial in and upload and download my email.
 
Admittedly, it's not (yet) using an SMTP connection itself, but it's still
a BBC being used to read and write and fetch and send email and newgroups
messages.
