 * [X] Support for common mail header field generation (Message-ID, Date, Bulk-Precedence, Priority, etc.)
 * [X] Reusing the same SMTP connection to send multiple mails
 * [X] Support for attachments and inline embeds
-* [X] Support for different encodings (existing but not fully tested)
+* [X] Support for different encodings
 * [X] Support sending mails via a local sendmail command
+* [X] Message object satisfies `io.WriteTo` and `io.Reader` interfaces
 
 go-mail works like a programatic email client and provides lots of methods and functionalities you would consider
 standard in a MUA.
