Hi Jigal,

that's on my "radar" still, but had no time to do so. That would be
*awesome*.

The only trouble is that the headers and body are already "created" when
passed to t3lib_utility_Mail::mail(), so one will have to just make use
of the SwiftMailer configured Transport and by-pass the while
"t3lib_mail_Message" part.

Since a Transport requires a "Swift_Mime_Message", you basically will
need a class that implements "Swift_Mime_Message" but takes the
information which the caller passed to mail() instead (this means
parsing the headers from the $to, $subject and $additionalHeaders).

Would you find time to work on that?

Cheers,
Ernesto
