	Hi Jochen.

	The new Email:: modules have a much simpler and more
flexible
API, and they also offer much better error reporting (which
was the
primary reason we switched). "undef error at line X in
Carp" is usually
unhelpful (one of Mail::Mailer's standard errors).

	They also have much better APIs for parsing mails in

	However, I agree with you that the number of modules it
brings
in as dependencies is a problem.
