winget installation command differs from documented smtp4dev command on Windows #2107

Hi,

I installed smtp4dev on Windows using winget:

winget install Rnwood.Smtp4dev

The installation completed successfully, and winget list smtp4dev shows:

Name      Id                Version Source
smtp4dev  Rnwood.Smtp4dev   3.10.3  winget

However, after installation, running the documented command does not work:

smtp4dev

PowerShell returns:

smtp4dev: The term 'smtp4dev' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

I found that the application can actually be started successfully by running:

rnwood.smtp4dev

So it looks like the winget installation exposes the command as rnwood.smtp4dev, not smtp4dev.

Could the documentation be updated to mention this command for winget installations on Windows, or could an alias/link be added so that smtp4dev works as documented?

Environment:

OS: Windows
Install method: winget
Package ID: Rnwood.Smtp4dev
Version: 3.10.3
Shell: PowerShell

Thanks for maintaining this helpful tool.
