In 1.3.15, it will not be easy because HTTP is implemented as a particular state of TCP. When 1.3.16 is released, it will be easier because HTTP really relies on TCP there, so it will be easier to implement basic SMTP support.

I'll soon have some spare time to try to complete existing code. The current snapshot is already working fine on small sites, which makes me confident we should not encounter too many issues.
