Okay, I'll have a look at it.

BTW: are the necessary structures already defined somewhere or do I
have to add them ?

hmm, I first wanted to start with a small stub which calls sendmail.

before I'd start implementing the whole framework, I'd better start
writing a cross-platform-mailapi, which could replace things like
libclient+co and be reused in a write range of MUAs (i personally would
start with hacking it into mutt :)). 
this framework could also be ported to ros, and the mapi would just
be a adaptor between its clients and the crossplatform messaging api.
