Hmmm. Looks interesting. The libraries would definitely make writing tests
easier, and seem pretty close to the wire. (compared to JavaMail, which is
fully abstracted).

Personally, I'd prefer if all of the code was in Java (fewer dependencies
and less for me to learn ;) ), but I can see why these libraries would be
helpful. It would be great if we had something similar written in Java. (In
fact, it probably wouldn't be *that* hard to write...)

As to doing up some tests using these libraries, go for it. If you can make
them JUnit tests, even better. (As long as I can run them automated from
ant, reporting success/failure, I'll be happy.)

I'm not sure about the licencing issues though - is the Jython runtime
Apache compatible? (I guess we can just make developers download it
separately, anyhow).
