- email 4.0 package now integrated. This is largely the same as the email 3.0
package that was included in Python 2.3, except that PEP 8 module names are
now used (e.g. mail.message instead of email.Message). The MIME classes
have been moved to a subpackage (e.g. email.mime.text instead of
email.MIMEText). The old names are still supported for now. Several
deprecated Message methods have been removed and lots of bugs have been
fixed. More details can be found in the email package documentation.
