Comment (by MattyRob):

 Replying to [comment:13 bpetty]:
 > Yeah, it would be nice to use the original filename for class.smtp.php,
 and I think this should probably all be done at some point with a full
 move into a subfolder separating PHPMailer from the rest of WordPress
 using it's original library structure as long as we can work out back
 compat solutions as necessary. That should be a future ticket though.

 Perhaps we can patch to 5.2.6 for the 3.7 Release of WordPress and then
 create a new ticket to migrate to a drop in approach for PHPMailer in 3.8.
 The existing class-phpmail.php file could be amended to be a wrapper fro
 the PHPMailer class files stored in a sub-folder. We can then just drop in
 the most recent / stable release of PHPMailer into a sub-folder in wp-
 includes.

 As an added benefit that might just make updates in the future easier to
 manage and apply. We'd just have to be sure there are no direct calls to
 the mailer or smtp classes from the core code or any popular and current
 plugins.
