Of all the things that bother me in this discussion, this one
bothers me the most.

The reason for this, I think, is two-fold.

Obviously Gracilliano's research for prior art was less than
conclusive. I often get the impression that he's a little too
enthusiastic about making new wheels.

But I also find MIME::Lite to be a horrible name. It certainly
doesn't present the module as a choice when you go through the
obvious keywords looking for modules for sending mail.

Of course, at this point, "MIME::Lite" is so well established a
name a change is probably going to be more than difficult. I
still think it's feasible though, so as the distribution under
the new name includes a stub MIME/Lite.pm that just loads the
name module. It's never too late to undo mistakes. (Assuming, of
course, that people feel the way I do about the module's name.)
