Hi everyone, Jules Bean <jules@debian>, the current maintainer of Balsa has given me permission for me to NMU and repackage Balsa 2.0.x to replace his Balsa 1.2 (1.4 was never uploaded) packages in Debian. However, since I am still a new maintainer [1], I am technically barred [2] (and prevented) from carrying out this NMU myself. Since Balsa has now been rewritten for GNOME 2, debian/* also needed a major overhaul. [1] http://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=netsnipe%40debianplanet.org [2] http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-nmu-who So if you have some spare time, please review my repackaging of Balsa and if it's good enough, sponsor it as well. Thanks in advanced, Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau URL: deb http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~alau/debian/ ./ Description: An E-mail client for GNOME 2 Balsa is highly configurable and robust mail client for the GNOME 2 desktop. It supports both POP3 and IMAP servers as well as the local mailbox formats: mbox, maildir, mh. Balsa also supports SMTP and/or the use of a local MTA, i.e. Sendmail . Some of Balsa's other features include: * Allowing nested mailboxes * Printing * Spell Checking (via pspell) * Multi-threaded mail retrieval (via ESMTP) * MIME support (view images inline, save parts) * Address Book that integrates with GnomeCard * Multiple character sets for composing and reading messages . For more information, please visit <http://balsa.gnome.org> . Note: Kerberos (GSSAPI) and LDAP support has been enabled in this package, but due to licensing issues, OpenSSL encryption support has been disabled.
