=head1 NAME
MailTools - bundle of ancient email modules
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# This is a place-holder for the distribution
=head1 DESCRIPTION
MailTools is a bundle: an ancient form of combining packages into one
distribution. Gladly, it can be distributed as if it is a normal
distribution as well.
B<Be warned:> The code you find here is very old. It works for simple
emails, but when you start with new code then please use more
sofisticated libraries. The main reason that you still find this code
on CPAN, is because many books use it as example.
=head2 Component
In this distribution, you find
