    1 TurboMail is a TurboGears extension - meaning that it starts up and 
    2 shuts down alongside TurboGears applications you write in the same 
    3 way that visit tracking and identity do.  TurboMail uses built-in 
    4 Python modules for SMTP communication and MIME e-mail creation, but 
    5 greatly simplifies these tasks by performing the grunt-work for you. 
     1TurboMail is a multi-threaded mail delivery subsystem and MIME message 
     2generation framework for Python. 
     3 
     4TurboMail 3 offers: 
     5 
     6 * Simplified creation of complex messages, including rich text, attachments, 
     7   and more. 
     8 
     9 * Modular delivery managers including the blocking immediate manager, or the 
     10   two threading managers: on-demand, and polling. 
     11 
     12 * Modular back-ends including SMTP, Sendmail, or on-disk. 
     13 
     14 * Easier debugging when using the debug back-end in concert with the 
     15   immediate manager. 
     16 
     17 * A plugin architecture with a sample plugin for altered message encoding. 
     18 
     19 * S/MIME encryption and digital signatures. 
     20 
     21 * Automatic integration into TurboGears 1.x. 
     22 
     23Python includes several standard packages for handling e-mail. These libraries are independent of each-other, their documentation is hard-to-follow, and their examples are hardly real-world. TurboMail ties these dispersant elements together with an elegant and extensible API, freeing you (the developer) from drudge-work, strained eyes, and loss of hair, even for the most complicated use-cases.
