I'm not sure about the normal criteria for things to move out of the
sandbox, but here are my thoughts on things:
1. SimpleEmail - works well, easy to use
2. MultipartEmail - not as easy to use, very flexible
3. HtmlEmail - still broken. if, for instance, you create an html email
with 2 embedded jpeg files, you end up with this structure:
multipart/related
text/html
image/jpeg
image/jpeg
text/plain
which will not display properly with many email clients. we really want:
multipart/alternative
text/plain
multipart/related
text/html
image/jpeg
image/jpeg
or, if there are email attachments, something like:
multipart/mixed
multipart/alternative
text/plain
multipart/related
text/html
image/jpeg
image/jpeg
attachment1-content-type
attachment2-content-type
I'll try to come up with a patch that addresses this. Again, I'm not
sure if this affects the decision to move commons-email out of sandbox,
but I thought it was worth mentioning. Also, its nice to see the all of
the recent work on the project :), thanks!
