Felix... I was just reviewing the docs, and have a quick comment:
- I think your inclination to allow interface.start to get the configuration as a parameter is the right thing to do. I can't see any good reason to have to set the config separately. In the same vein, I don't think the programmer should have to call interface.stop(). Can't TurboMail register itself with atexit to do this? I realize that there will still be cases where interface.stop won't be called (signals, os._exit, etc.) But I'd really like to see TurboMail be exactly one line of code to start, stop, initialize, etc. Heck, I'm almost thinking that the import statement itself could by default turn turbomail on and register stop with atexit. But that's probably taking things too far. :) Merry X-Mas!
