Another possibility (which I personally favor) is to leave the email  
package in a1 as flawed as it is, but to disable the tests.  It's an / 
alpha/ for gosh sakes, so maybe leaving it in and partly broken will  
help rustle up some volunteers to help get it fixed.

If you're agreeable to this, you can just merge the sandbox[1] into  
the head of the branch.  I'm traveling until Monday and won't get a  
chance to do that until I'm back on the net.  The sandbox is up-to- 
date with all my latest changes.
