Embperl::Mail setup inconsitency

[RobertCZ <ro...@robert.cz>]

Hi,

  I have just spent couple of hours trying to figure out why 
'Embperl_MailHost xxx' configuration directive doesn't work for me until 
I RTFS where it's used as $ENV{'EMBPERL_MAILHOST'}. Now with SetEnv 
EMBERL_XXX it works fine, but why is everything set up using Embperl_XXX 
directives only Emabperl::Mail is using environment? Now I see the docs 
say 'can be configured in the environment', but I'd still say it's 
confusing.

Yes, you are right. It's confusing. The reason is that Embperl implement
it's configuration directives in C, while Embperl::Mail is pure Perl, but it
should be possible to make it more consitent. I put it on the TODO list
