Hi Ludovic. I hadn't considered merging with AWS. It seems mostly focused on RFC 2821 (SMTP) and you actually wouldn't need MIME in an RFC 2821 MTA, nor would you need SMTP in an MUA (or anything designed to run as a client to an MTA like a mailing list server). Where Basil could complement AWS is with its RFC 2822 structured header parsers, which an MTA would need. Probably the best way to do it would be to make a glue package that can translate AWS header objects into Basil header objects, so you can use the structured header parsers, and then back again. I don't think that would be very difficult and I could probably get that in the next release.
