This does suck.  We have to rename it or do something.

How is anything supposed to know you want this Mail object in SMTP's 
root message queue?  There are probably a dozen different places someone 
would want to stick a new Mail object.  Nevermind that from a design

root message queue?  You basically have to make something static to 
accomplish this.
