Just a quick reply for right now, more later.

email /will/ be made to work with py3k and I'm against removing it  
permanently unless as part of a py3k-wide policy to detach large  
parts of the stdlib.  I made a lot of progress last week and I intend  
to continue working on it until it passes all the tests.  Please  
check out the temporary sandbox version until then.
