It only depends on vibe's Mail class.

The only function that interacts with the Mail class is this one:

```
void setContent(MailPart)(Mail email, MailPart part)
	if (isMailPart!MailPart)
{
	foreach(key, value; part.headers)
		email.headers[key] = value;

	import std.conv : text;
	email.bodyText = part.content.text;
}
```

Which is rather trivial to port.

Having said that, I have no need to build my own SMTP client. 
Vibe does a good job. And there is also a more stand-alone 
project on code.dlang.org which I forgot the name of.

```
While Freed was concerned about the problems occurring when 
content moved from one e-mail system to another, "I wanted to be 
able to send pictures and videos and stuff like that in e-mail," 
Borenstein says. "And by the way, when people would ask me, 'Why 
do you care so much about putting media into e-mail?' I always 
said because someday I'm going to have grandchildren and I want 
to get pictures of them by e-mail. And people's reaction was to 
laugh and laugh."

Borenstein started receiving pictures of his twin grandchildren 
via e-mail in 2009
```

That why we want stuff besides text in our emails.
