I reported this bug a while ago and it should be fixed in the unstable
version.  I suggest using package pins to get the unstable gnustep at the
moment.  To do this, create the file /etc/apt/preferences and add the lines:

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 989

...to it.  This makes testing your default distribution for most things. 
Now add "unstable" versions of your "testing" lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list and do an "apt-get update".  Then you can install
things from unstable with "apt-get install --target-release=unstable" and
then the package name.  Do that for gnumail with
   apt-get install --target-release=unstable gnumail
and it should work, hopefully.

I think that's correct.  Hope that helps.
