 Priority:  normal              |   Milestone:       
Component:  ticket system       |     Version:  0.8.4

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 When TRAC tries to send email notification of activity and the designated
 mime gateway is unresponsive, TRAC returns the a stack trace.

 A more informative error message would be more helpful.  A log of the SMTP
 dialog would be even better.
