I'm using EDMessage in a project and it has been good to work with albeit with a few quirks.
1. EDMessage and EDCommon both contain some deprecated methods. You can either ignore these or do as I did and tidy them up. Essentially it was replacing occurrences of 'stringWithContentsOfFile:' with 'stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error:' and replacing 'stringWithCString:' with 'stringWithCString:encoding:'. I also replaced an occurrence of 'stringWithCString:length:' with 'stringWithCharacters:length:'.
2. I had a problem attaching text files because they appeared in-line in the emails rather than as attachments. I never really got to the bottom of whether this was a problem with mail clients or with the framework. You can read about it in my post in their forums at:

3. I had a problem with spaces in attachment names. Again, you can read about it in their forums at:

However the framework is easy to use and has been reliable and I worked around the last two issues.
