   Confirmed. Ran new Mailer('127.0.0.1', 587), and the same with { user, pass } but no from. Both abort at construction with "hl:smtp refused the message: the mailer's from (or sender) is empty", before any send.

   Fixed on branch ticket-lang (8ba2248e): new Mailer(host, port) without a sender now constructs; the refusal moved to send(), and only when neither the message nor the mailer has a "from". Test:

   1. Build branch ticket-lang, run import { Mailer } from 'hl:smtp' then m = new Mailer('127.0.0.1', 587) and console.log('ok'): prints ok.
   2. Add on Error(e) { console.log(e.message) } and m.send({ to = 'a@b.c' subject = 'x' text = 'y' }): "…it has no "from" and neither has the mailer…".

   Noted. ident uses a placeholder sender as a workaround; it goes once this is on master.

   Fixed and merged on master; how to test is in the comment above.
