Although I favour spoolMail(...) as a name, why not just say it like it is.

I don't like the idea of exposing MailImpl, and it seems we're already
cheating in this regard. I would prefer deprecating all existing
sendMail() methods and instead do:
public interface MailetContext {
Mail newMail();
void queue(Mail mail);
..
..
}
I'm not wedded to the two names. I like queue(Mail) over send(Mail)
because send() implies a) it's going some place else and b) does not
address how message could be placed in other states (like spam, error,
whatever).
