Agreed. plainMailEncoded() is a dull function. No need to make it more complex by adding
functionality not related to its task.

A proxy is an intermediate server (proxy means "near"). Any way TYPO3 would benefit from a better
and more flexible mail architecture. If you have too much time on your hand ask if FLOW3 has already
one. If not this is a great opportunity to write one and backport it :)

NO!!!
