Lots of new features, but a few API changes (thus the MAJOR version  
change).

Basics are:

Network Delivery classes are no longer singletons, each instance of  
Mail can have it’s own delivery method

Attachments are just parts and have an awesome API

Mail default values for address fields can be modified

Can access raw address objects directly from the header fields

Many bug fixes.

Thanks Mikel  
MMS2R [mms2r | RubyGems.org | your community gem host](http://rubygems.org/gems/mms2r) version 3.0.0 is dependent upon  
the Mail gem now rather than TMail.
