folks-- gmail is now flagging all non-DKIM-signed email as possible phishing, which is destroying the value of the App Engine Email API.

what's the ETA to add DKIM support?  (and why is this lower priority than, say, Prospective Search?)

I'll agree that sometimes it's hard to understand priorities, say for
instance XMPP in general, or yes, prospective search.
All that aside, I'd encourage everyone to check out using Amazon's SES
service to send email via GAE. Their REST api works well and I
actually get fewer urlfetch timeouts using it than I got mail.send
timeouts sending with GAE. Also, their deliver ability is great! I
began using it when many GAE emails were flagged as spam via Yahoo.
Since then I have had just about 100% of my mail make it to inboxes.
Also, many threads on this list seem to indicate that GAE is not
planning on fixing their mail issues, and actually encourage users to
use a 3rd party for mail.

+1 on the Amazon SES suggestion. I would rather the App Engine  team focus on other priorities than mail, imho. Just DKIM is only part of the solution needed for getting mail deliverability humming... Then Sendgrid, Mailgun or something when you have a bit more volume or want more stats etc.
