Mail.php is not deprecated.

Here was an error that's true, I introduced it and corrected it now. But this error as you could have seen is because you are given wrong parameters to the factory function or have your include path wrong. For the next time I would recommend to use bugs.php.net or write a mail with the bug/problem report to pear-dev and if possible keep you own opinions of other non-related stuff in other mail. > When is there going to be someone that will finish the PEAR > framework/package-stuff/website so it will be useable!!??
