The reason I did it by hand using he standard tools - which is hard,
but not that hard, is that way I can correct any bugs in it.
All too often using someone else's library means you include far more
code of uncertain quality into the mix.
When it gets to the point - and it has - that one mail sent on one
system works in 8 out of ten email clients, but not the 9th and tenth,
whilst the same code works perfectly on another system so near identical
as to be head scratchingly obscure, you have to go looking very hard to
find out why.
