Somewhat related, did somebody consider implementing a clone of the 
Message.framework for GNUstep? It has only basic email sending 
capabilities and is very easy to use, but for many developers this 
would be exactly what is needed.

Besides, why does this thread exist at all? Helge announced the 
availability of a (new) library to be used freely, and instead of 
saying "Thank You" I only see people asking "Why...". This seems rather 
weird to me. Having the choice is IMHO a Good Thing - esp. since the 
common argument (the lack of developer resources) does not hold 
here...:-)
