[Haskell-cafe] Re: Should Yesod.Mail be a separate package?

[Michael Snoyman]

Just for the record, while I like the markdown-based interface, I
can't include it in the mime-mail package: I'm not going to make
Pandoc a dependency of mime-mail, both for weight and license reasons.
It would be awesome to see a markdown-mail or similar package,
however.
