What is CMSMailer module Dependant on? I've done a search but can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere.

CMSMailer is not dependant on anything..... (I just checked the latest svn code).
On the other hand, I should put a minimum cms version requirement in there
somehwere I think..

Interesting. CMSMailer is telling me that it "Has Dependants". This is in a clean install of .12b2 with CMSMailer 1.73.9.

Yes, CMSMailer, has "Dependants", but is not "Dependent" on anything (gotta love english).
the FrontEndUsers, SelfRegistration, and Uploads modules (among others) all depend on CMSMailer

Thanks for the clarification.
Why does "Dependants" show up in the Actions column in the Extension | Modules listing? This seems misleading, confusing, and unnecessary. It just needs to be in the Help info.

well, something needs to be there to tell you why you can't uninstall the thing, and "Has Dependants" was probably the best thing wishy could think of at the time.
