If you want to contribute the code then that's great. Currently, my company is
negotiating with a third-party to revamp that tag.

very simple (this was my first Delphi experience and I managed to spend only about an
hour, so... must be simple!). I can of course
send you my hacked code snippets if you want, but I'm sure it'll take only a few
minutes to make these changes (more elegantly than
I did too). Here's what I added/changed:

attribute. Example:

originals, some of which can't be predicted).
Then only tricky part code-wise here was to make sure the header block is properly
delimited with CR+LF (Chr(13)+Chr(10)) for which
I used the AddToMessage() function (since it already does that). I have it stick in
these headers first, then add any more that are
passed via HEADER_ attributes (so the passthrough header block would come first in
mail file).

behavior which is to add a date unless a HEADER_Date attribute was found in the tag
call. Obviously this is for avoiding duplicate
Date headers when using the new HEADERPASSTHROUGH attribute.

found that if you pass these attributes to the tag but they're blank, the tag will add
the mime encoding headers anyway (making it
"seem" like the mail has an attachment). If found this annoying so I changed it (just
an appearance thing really).
