Thanks -- well said. Actually PEAR Mail is fairly well documented and
there are a bunch of tutorials. Its some of the other PEAR packages that
drive me crazy -- and drive me away -- due to the lack of documentation.

Has anyone evaluated PEAR Mail versus phpmailer or any other possible
candidates?

I've used PEAR only.  My original options were a) roll-my-own, b) learn
to love PEAR Mail or c) learn to love something else.

Overall PEAR packages are stable and consistent and have a nice
installation system, so putting the time into b) seemed worth it.  I'm
now using PEAR mail, mail_mime, mail_imapv2 and am happy with them all,
they "just work".

My only possible gripe is that all you can count on for docs is a class
reference.  This is great, but it would really be nirvana if PEAR
standards required at least one comprehensive example and walk-through
as part of the docs.
