It seems to me that the improved email module is enough reason to require
Python 2.4.  (We moved our email processing to 2.4 for that reason.)

Yes, one can--as I understand it--use the new email module under Python 2.3,
but if one has institutional issues that prevent using Python 2.4 they
probably prevent messing about with 2.3 in that sort of way, as well.
