Yet again I am pleased to announce an update to TurboMail, a
TurboGears extension to add multi-threaded outbound mail
functionality to your TurboGears application.
Together with the standard details below, there is also a new home
for TurboMail, to allow for much greater community access to the
project. Trac is online with an updated copy of the TurboMail Guide
(no more API reference as the only documentation), as is Subversion.

* http://svn.orianagroup.com/turbomail
If you wish to contribute and require an account for Subversion, e-
mail me behind-the-scenes and I'll get you set up. Anyone can check
out the code and submit patches, however.
What is TurboMail?
------------------
TurboMail is a TurboGears extension, meaning that it starts up and
shuts down alongside any TurboGears applications you write, in the
same way that visit tracking and identity do. TurboMail uses built-in
Python modules for SMTP communication and MIME e-mail creation, but
greatly simplifies these tasks by performing the grunt-work for you.
Additionally, TurboMail is multi-threaded, allowing for single or
batch enqueueing and background delivery of mail.
Installing TurboMail
--------------------
Simply easy_install the package:
easy_install TurboMail
To upgrade an existing installation of TurboMail:
easy_install -U TurboMail
TurboMail installs no external scripts.
Changes Since 2.0
-----------------
- Corrected the MIME encoding of complex messages.
- Allow an alternate envelope address via the `smtpfrom` property.
- Attach and embed methods both allow you to pass an existing File
descendant rather than require an on-disk path.
Thank you Jason and Neng for your patches, suggestions, and requests.
