Why is s3-integration-*-client-starter dependency required for using the email-integration

[langehm]

As of the documentation:

Additionally, a specific s3-integration-*-client-starter is required as dependency, because S3 is used for file handling. See according documentation.
the s3-integration is needed for handling file attachments.

What if i only need to send emails without attachments - can i disregard this dependency? or why not if it is really required as of the documentation?

I need to send emails from the backend (subscribtion emails) which do not contain any attachments and thought of using this integration - instead of using the default spring-context-support.

First of all we know about the problem and that's why there is the issue #173

To answer your question im not really sure if that is possible, as i think then Spring fails initializing the context on startup because of missing beans.

[langehm]

yes it will fail without the s3 integration.

But this linked issue probably answers this question - i just need to be patient 🕐

Or if you have time and you need it, a PR is always welcome, even if you just do it for the mail integration.
