Hi Email the original author, if you can. Ideally work with them to upload a working version to hackage. If they're not interested hopefully they'll make you the new maintainer. If you can't contact them, just upload a new version anyway - as long as it's done for the benefit of the community and not with malicious intent, everyone is happy.
And please do make sure you upload something working, I imagine this will be very useful to lots of people! Thanks for your efforts Neil On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 12:51 PM, Robert Wills <wrwi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > Yesterday I found myself wanting to clear out a spam-ridden pop > account without downloading all the messages.
