I did add your smtplib.py to the distribution.  I bet my checkin
message was not clear about the fact that i hadn't actually hooked it 
up yet.  (I think my notes mention hooking it up as a todo, though.)

BTW, i see a note in the dragon's 1.5.1-included smtplib.py which says
it "doesn't do esmtp (yet)".  I remembered seeing a pipelining esmtp
module going by the newsgroup, and sure enough a deja news search shows
"FREE: Python ESMTP Module by me!" from daniel robbins.  Maybe this code
would provide a leg up, at least as an example, on incorporating the
command pipelining extension to smtplib.py?
