Sure, I would like to have a look at it. The version that I currently have
packaged is 1.1 which looks a lot smoother than the older version that I had
and the newer versions are supposed to be even better from what I hear. What I
like is to be able to auto-expire messages in mailing list folders ... kind of
like newsgroup articles do. This makes subscriptions to multiple mailing lists
easier to manage.

I will send you an address where you can put it by anon ftp. Which version is
it?

I mentioned making a debian package to the author and he was all for it. I
suppose the restriction on commercial use and the copyright inclusion
requirement would put it in non-free.
