 ## Features
 
-Some of the features of this library:
+Here are some highlights of go-mail's featureset:

 * [X] Modern, idiomatic Go
 * [X] Sane and secure defaults
 * [X] Explicit SSL/TLS support
 * [X] Implicit StartTLS support with different policies
 * [X] Makes use of contexts for a better control flow and timeout/cancelation handling
-* [X] SMTP Auth support (LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD, XOAUTH2)
