FUD... Mike, I often think that you were the influence on Muhri that caused him
to form Pronto! as it is just this sort of FUD talk that lead to the split. 
CSCMail Perl is still in active maintenence.  No I am not adding new features. 
But I am fixing bugs and will be releasing a new version soon.	Does that sound
Dead to you?  Thats like saying Enlightenment .16 is dead, because Raster and
Mandrake are focusing on EFM.  This is total bullshit.	Get your facts straight
before you post to the list.

Pronto! is a code fork.  While I wish Muhri well, Pronto! is no longer CSCMail.
 For better or for worse, it is a new project.

This is true...

>  Another thing... programs from cvs are not guaranteed to run/compile. 

Actually, unless stated otherwise in the ChangeLog, I never commit anything to
CVS that DOESN"T compile and run.

But, as a general rule, no, CVS is not guaranteed to compile... I have only
once committed non-compiling code to CVS though, and I try very hard to avoid
that.  Although it doesn't do much, the code in CVS DOES compile and run...
