I will point out that there was some pretty good discussion on these
mailing lists and on IRC about the reasons for DMA when corecode started
working on it.  I was of the opinion that it was reinventing the wheel,
and was probably a total irritant for corecode in the process.

I've come around to the idea, though - I like the idea of a simple,
BSD-licensed mailer.  It's also not really useful to in an open source
project saying, "No, don't work on a part of the project that makes you
excited!"
