Replace mimemail dependency
>>> [!note] Migrated issue
<!-- Drupal.org comment -->
<!-- Migrated from issue #2183235. -->
Reported by: [cjoy](https://www.drupal.org/user/1502360)
>>>
<p>The module declares a strict dependency on mimemail, which is not quite the case:</p>
<p>If the user chooses not to attach invoices to the mail (commerce_billy_mail_attach_pdf_invoice setting), there is no dependency at all.<br>
In case attachments are required, any MailSystemInterface class capable of dealing with attachments can be used, not just mimemail.</p>
<p>I would suggest to remove the hard dependency from the .info and instead use hook_requirements().<br>
Availability of modules that implement known to work MailSystemInterface classes (mimemail, smtp, others?) could be checked install and a warning issued if no such module is found:</p>

<p>One could also consider to make the check at runtime phase and only trigger a warning if commerce_billy_mail_attach_pdf_invoice is enabled <em>and</em> the MailSystemInterface class assigned to commerce_billy_mail does not match the whitelist.</p>
<p>In any case, I feel this could be covered by documentation and notices/warnings, rather than a hard dependency on a single module that is not really required.</p>
