XMail has all the features needed by 95% of users and is about 300Kb.
To add features needed by the 5% of users XMail will become more than 1Mb and
the 95% of users will be bloated by features they don't need.
One could say "Why to not use macro definitions to includes modules, like
sendmail ?".
I answer by saying that sendmail code is like sh*t filled of #ifdef ... that
makes the code bloated and difficult to understand and to bug fix.
I hope You understand my view of what XMail should be for me.
