Comment (by timgraham):
It seems to me that applications may want to handle different email
exceptions in a particular way. If we start hiding the original exception,
that's no longer possible (or at least more difficult). I think having to
update the exceptions that your application handles if you switch email
backends is reasonable. On the other hand, that might not be feasible for
third-party apps. If you have ideas on how you would implement this,
sketching that out a bit more would be helpful.
