I guess this is always the balance, purist vs. reality. In reality the
majority of mailets are probably being called upon the SMTP trigger,
therefore it makes sense to involve that protocols behaviour in the API.
I think originally it was just addressing mail processing in general,
which some people liked because it opened the door for mailets with
other protocols (NNTP, jabber, etc...). I came around to wanting it
exclusively for SMTP. I think that while mime and some other notions
are shared between SMTP, NNTP, and others, the differences are too
wide to have one API effectively solve all those problems.
I'm +1 to adding the handler API stuff into the mailet API.
