Just my two cents, but if you are considering re-writing send-email, I
would suggest two things:
1. Make much heavier use of existing CPAN libraries. A lot of the ugly
code is trying to handle corner cases in rfc2822 and mime parsing
and generation. And I would not be surprised if there were still
bugs in that ugly code.
2. Make a new command to compete with send-email instead of using the
same name. This means that people who are really put off by
CPAN dependencies from (1) above won't be negatively impacted. And
you can drop any historical interface warts if you want to.
