Subject: [sup-talk] new mail library

Hi All,

I just found this (seemingly) awesome new mail handling library.  I
know that rmail has lots of flaws and there has been previously
expressed sentiment that something better might be nice.  Have a look
at:

http://github.com/mikel/mail

I just whipped up a quick little script that uses it and it's quite
nice.  It pulls in actionsupport, so it's not a lightweight gem by any
means.

HTH.

...and was definitely pulled in when I installed the gem.  As I said,
it's more heavy weight, but it is very nice to use so far.

Neither of those even resemble a reliable method of checking whether or not the
thing actually uses activesupport. :P

$ pwd
/home/pi/mail
$ egrep -ir require.\*active .
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support'
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support/core_ext/hash/indifferent_access'
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support/core_ext/object/blank'
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support/core_ext/string'

There you have it.
