Hi John,

I don't think this extension is appropriate for 4Suite built-ins.  In
fact, I've written it before, and I left it out of built-ins on purpose
:-)  I wrote this for Akara and I've attached my version of the module. 
My version predates some of the Python e-mail API improvements so your
is probably better, but my point is that first of all this is not a
"core" enough need to go in 4Suite built-ins, and also that it's one
that is potentially a security risk.

I have a side project called ftgoodies where I include the dozen or so
extensions I created for Akara and other projects but don't belong in
the built-ins.  I'd like to finally get it posted to cheeseshop and make
that the destination for such non-core extensions by core 4Suite
developers.  I hope that's OK with you (and others), and that you don't
mind backing out your addition from core 4Suite CVS.

Thanks.
