+=head1 NAME
+
+MailTools - bundle of ancient email modules
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ # This is a place-holder for the distribution
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+MailTools is a bundle: an ancient form of combining packages into one
+distribution.  Gladly, it can be distributed as if it is a normal
+distribution as well.
+
+B<Be warned:> The code you find here is very old.  It works for simple
+emails, but when you start with new code then please use more
+sofisticated libraries.  The main reason that you still find this code
+on CPAN, is because many books use it as example.
+
+=head2 Component
+
+In this distribution, you find
