  ''(Waived for 1.1)'' [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-56 EMAIL-56]: Support creating Email subclasses from MimeMessages.
  
  ''(BenSpeakmon) One of the MimeMessage constructors in JavaMail (both 1.3 and 1.4) already does this, BTW. I'm not sure this is something that falls within commons-email's scope. The commons-email API, I think, is for the common cases where you just want to build and send an email without needing the power (or complexity) of JavaMail. If you're already pulling messages from an email server, I don't know why you wouldn't just use JavaMail for manipulating it -- the power and complexity is just what you need for those kinds of jobs. And it doesn't seem worth the trouble to duplicate any of that code in commons-email when the existing code works just fine. I'd recommend WONTFIXing this one.''

  I think that this has to fall into that class of problems that would be better served with JavaMail, so I'd recommend this be wontfixed.''
  
- == Build fixes/enhancements ==
+ [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-65 EMAIL-65]: Improve HtmlEmail MIME layout.
  
- [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMAIL-64 EMAIL-64]: use a different test email server from a live project, not a dead one. Patch available to use wiser from the [http://subethasmtp.tigris.org/ subethasmtp project]. subethasmtp's maintainer has no interest in putting the JDK 1.4-compatible version into maven, so we'll have to handle that.
+ Morten Hatteson makes the point that the MIME structure generated by HtmlEmail after the patch for EMAIL-50 could be better in spec compliance. I doubt we can fix it properly while still maintaing backward compatibility, but we should see if it can be improved to some degree. This is likely going to be the last release of this component, and I'd like to leave it in as good a shape as possible if I'm going to tell users to live with it forever.
