Mail handling is currently being developed for drupal core, see this post

http://drupal.org/node/28604

and development code at

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/killes/mail/

What work will be needed for project module to use the new mail backend? Gerhard's samples of simplenews and contact give some guidance.

Options for project subscriptions would be:

* refactor subscription functionality to use new methods, or
* wait for or create a generic subscription module using Gerhard's improvements and suited to project module's needs.

Is one approach better than the other?

I'm not sure what mail handling functionality existed in core when this issue was originally created, but strangely enough #28604: Separate mail backend is still open. It seems like that may never happen, so I'm postponing this issue until further progress is made elsewhere.

Seems like progress is not being made elsewhere.
