Well after many months of sitting around and doing nothing, I'm finally 
releasing the next version of libSmtp and it's new companion library - 
libEmail!

libSmtp has been re-written and all of the email encoding features that 
were found in the previous versions have all been off-loaded to libEmail.

What's new in libSmtp v2
- almost 100% re-written
- more robust error handling
- everything should be "threaded" (wait with messages)
- better smtp authentication support and handling

libEmail v1.0.0 is a new library featuring all the great features found 
in the old libSmtp library, but with much better support. All the code 
has been sifted through and re-written in many places. Support for 
unicode in headers and message body parts was added in.


Why two libraries now?
It's not a money grab ^_^ as they are both released into the public 
domain. The reason for the two libraries is to allow me to give better 
attention to the one task that they're to do, but also to allow you 
greater flexibility and choice.

What choices?
By spliting them into two libraries, you can use another library with 
either one of these libraries.


As always, feel free to write with comments, suggestions or fixes 
for "undocumented features" ;-)
