I just updated the component. I commented most debug instructions,
only one missing (i will remove it once the following issue is
resolved). Messages now inherit MIMEMessage. It works like a charm,
great work!!

There is only one bug keeping it as unstable. If you test the _next
implementation (For Each) it will crash when trying to read from
Enum.Index. There is a really simple example commented out in
MTest.module. I don't know if it's something i did wrong, or if i'm
doing something i'm not allowed to do (like initialize Enum.Index at
1). Could you please test it?
