Description:
This feature request comes from a chat discussion Dan, 
Larry, and I had with Gerald W. Lester solving a 
problem he had with a small smtpd proxy and the smtp 
module itself.

smtpd delivers the message as list of lines. smtp 
expects the message as mime token, which is 
initialized with a string!

We believe it would be better if smtpd would deliver
the incoming message directly as a mime token.

We actually believe that all front-ends (for example 
the upcoming pop3 server) should use mime tokens to 
transfer mail data to and from their backends.

I have added a new option to the smtpd package. 

smtpd::configure -deliverMIME delivery

calls the 'delivery' procedure with a MIME token. If the
-deliverMIME option is unset then the original package
behaviour is maintained. The user now needs to write
something like:
  proc delivery {token} { ... }

I've updated the documentation and added a new example
'tk_smtpdMIME' to the examples directory.
