Might be a bit late, but I've just noticed that they're taking the
activesupport dependency out, as of mail 2.3.0
http://rubygems.org/gems/mail/versions/2.3.0 - no activesupport
On github, the gemspec no longer refers to it:
https://github.com/mikel/mail/blob/master/mail.gemspec
though the Gemfile still does ... I think this is an oversight.
https://github.com/mikel/mail/blob/master/Gemfile
A couple of commits doing the work:
https://github.com/mikel/mail/commit/6eb4c44a15eb1707dde60959e85e5c536ef136e2
https://github.com/mikel/mail/commit/8bea8ede624e81fb4704e66097a1c8cf35f8de8d

Good to know. I won't switch Heliotrope over just for the heck of it,
but if I encounter insurmountable problems with RubyMail we'll at least
have a backup plan.
