Just a update for anybody who may be waiting for this.  I know Jules is mega busy at the moment so it may take a while for the patches to be validated and included in the base code.  If anybody has a test system that they would like to try this with I would be happy to send you the patches.

I made quite a few changes recently:

* Files that are passed to ZendTo are the original name and not the *safename* eg. prefixed with the type
* Injection of CSS and HTML claim ID body text is handled a lot better
* In-line content is no longer stripped; only true attachments
* Performance tweaks

The code appears stable and is undergoing a corporate trial at the moment which is very exciting.

Next step is to throw Djigzo (http://www.djigzo.com) into the mix once Zimbra release 7.1.4 which will allow custom SMTP headers to be set via a Zimlet ;)
