708 was full of extraneous merge commits interwoven with commits to
implement the feature. In the end the only way I could clean this up
in reasonable time was to just take a regular diff between the PR and
the base. This lost the history of intermediate commits but I've
preserved attribution to @dayton967 via git's --author field.
Although I preserved the logic of the PR, there were a few additional
things that I cleaned up:
* Fixed import of email.mime.multipart
* Used the argspec to set port and timeout to integers instead of having
ad hoc code inside of the module.
* Used argspec's choices for secure instead of ad hoc code inside of the
module.
* Removed some unused variables
* Made secure_state a python boolean instead of using 0 and 1
* Used secure with string comparisons instead of turning it into an
integer code. This is much more readable.
* Fixed catching of SMTPExceptions (SMTPException wasn't imported
directly so it needed to use the smtplib namespace.)
