Neither of those even resemble a reliable method of checking whether or not the
thing actually uses activesupport. :P

$ pwd
/home/pi/mail
$ egrep -ir require.\*active .
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support'
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support/core_ext/hash/indifferent_access'
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support/core_ext/object/blank'
./lib/mail.rb:  require 'active_support/core_ext/string'
