GNUMAIL + PANTOMIME 1.2.3

-------------------------

New releases which combine many improvements collected in the past three 
years!

GNUMail <http://www.nongnu.org/gnustep-nonfsf/gnumail/index.html>and 
Pantomime found a home in the past years in the "GNUstep non-FSF" 
project on GNA. However, GNA shut down and the project was moved to 
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gnustep-nonfsf. This move was time 
consuming, left the repository unavailable for weeks, but we were able 
to recover the repository with full history. The code is here 
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnustep-nonfsf/ .


During the move, Copyrights, Headers and Licenses were cleaned up. The 
X-Face code had no clear license and was removed. It is quite an 
obsolete feature anyway, I haven't seen it used since long time.

The MacOS version works quite well and we provide now both a PPC 
<http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/gnustep-nonfsf/GNUMail-1.2.3-mac-ppc.zip> 
and an Intel 
<http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/gnustep-nonfsf/GNUMail-1.2.3-mac-uni32.zip> 
binary. The PowerPC version works well on vintage Macs so you can use 
GNUMail on your trusty iBook or iMac!
