The plugin is only about a dozen lines of code -- I just added it to
my application base class.

I also added a test for debug mode to re-route all mail to a testing
address.  And I delay sending mail if there's a database transaction
active.

I think the bigger problem is Email::* modules not dealing with
character encodings.  I end up doing this quite a bit:

    my $email = Email::MIME->create(
        attributes => {
            content_type    => 'text/plain',
            charset         => 'utf-8',
            disposition     => 'inline',
        },
    body => encode_utf8( $utf8_content ),

I talked to Recardo about this in early November but never heard back.
I'm not sure where the fix should be -- but I was getting a lot of
wide character warnings in my logs.
