Unfortunately it also contains a hacked version of mail-lib's
smtpmail.el, splitted into two new files; smtp.el and smtpmail.el. I
haven't tested it, and perhaps those files should be removed? Or is
it possible to make sure mail-lib is always earlier in load-path?
Here there be dangerous and fearsome dragons indeed.
If you remove them, will flim break because it relies on whatever hacks
had been applied? Similarly, if mail-lib is earlier, will that shadow
a needed tweak so it's not available?
Is the author accessible, and able to explain why there's a hacked smtpmail.el?
Knowing the answer to this would go a LONG way to deciding what the
proper thing to do is - particularly if the "right" answer is for us
to pick up a bugfix/extension he made and lose the hacked file.
