ITP: sqwebmail



          I need a web-based mail reader ASAP, and SqWebMail
          seems to scratch that itch decently. So, I'm packaging
          it. I'll delay uploading 'till woody is created.

          If someone else wants to be the final maintainer, just
          say so; I just need to install this right now and I
          hate /usr/local.

          It's GPL, and can be found at 
          http://www.inter7.com/sqwebmail/

SqWebMail is a web CGI client for sending and receiving E-mail using
Maildir mailboxes. SqWebMail DOES NOT support traditional Mailbox
files, only Maildirs.

Features

    Very lightweight. Reads mail directly from maildirs.

    Supports hierarchical mail folders.

    Supports virtual accounts, the account database is implemented via
    a fast GDBM or DB database lookup. The account database is created
    from plain text files, and some Perl scripts are provided to
    modify the account database from the command line. Alternatively,
    it is possible to use existing vchkpw vpasswd files.

    Displays image attachments inline (if so marked in the MIME
    headers). Other attachments can be separately downloaded.

    Does not require Javascript or cookies. Most of the functionality
    is accessible from Lynx.

    Spell checking is available, if you have ispell installed.

    Supports most E-mail-related standards - MIME, 8-bit message
    headers, and others. MIME support is very extensive -- if you
    receive a message digest, you can reply to individual messages
    from the digest!
