[wp-hackers] Quick question about server setup

[Ryan Bilesky]

Ok so I have a quick question.  I am working on a plugin that I intend to
distribute publicly.  Per current technical limitations it needs WP3 (which
everyone should have).   But it also needs PHP5 with MailParse extension and
mbstring.  Now these requirements seem hefty to me, my server dosent even
currently meet them I need to install mailparse and mbstring.  What do you
think about these requirements.

Any ideas on how I can avoid them, I am using mailparse and mbstring to
parse an email for insertion into wordpress.
