Thanks Quim -- to add to that; I still keep an eye on Modest development, applying the occasional parch (as I did this morning). Anyhow, regarding Bugzilla - we do look at it, but as Quim explains, it takes quite some acrobatics to take care of both internal and external worlds. The Modest development team is very busy with feature development and bug fixes, and admittedly, after that there's not soooo much time left for interacting with the community. That's a sad fact. But, in the end, we are really trying to produce the best possible e-mail client, no matter what. We really appreciate the feedback through bugzilla and elsewhere. And if you have any specific issue, please mail me directly, let's see what we can do. Best wishes, Dirk. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
