Did you read my big long post regarding the code fork?	I think I have
made my position on this quite clear.  To be honest, prior to the code
fork, I had allowed Muhri to be in charge of the updates/upgrades to
1.7.x, but since he left the team, I have taken over that job.	I have
never said the CSCMail was dead.  I have never hinted that I would not
support users of CSCMail.  I HAVE said that I am no longer adding new
features to the perl version.  (Just as no one is adding new features to
Enlightenment .16, or Linux Kernel 2.2.x etc)  I am sorry if some people
seem to think that a rewrite means that the old version is dead.  Fact
is, the current release of CSCMail is 1.6.1... This is the ONLY current
stable release of CSCMail.  I support it fully.  There are TWO
development releases of CSCMail, 1.7.x and 1.9.x  1.7.x is in feature
freeze pending release of 1.8.0  1.9.x is in active development (ie: new
features being added, etc)

There would have been no issues at all regarding any of this if certain
sour grapes had not started spouting their mouths of bemoaning the
"death" of CSCMail. Just because they didn't like the direction I chose
to take the codebase...

There is no death, just the normal stable-version -> development-version
-> stable-version code cycle.  What does it matter to anyone that CSCMail
2.0.0 is in C versus perl?  That means nothing.  CSCMail 2.0.0 is not
RELEASED yet.  So any speculation about it is unfounded.  The current
release of CSCMail is 1.6.1, and work is proceeding on 1.8.0  (1.7.x is
in feature freeze)  That is all that is "official" about CSCMail.  I have
made public my goals for the future.  These goals MAY change... They may
not.  Who knows? they are goals.  Anyway, this has all wasted too much of
my time, and kept me from focusing on the important things, such as
coding a damn good e-mail client.  I declare this thread dead.	CSCMail
is alive.  Any speculations on its death are pointless.  There is no
"cscmail-perl" and "cscmail-c" as though they where two different
animals.  There is ONLY CSCMail.

share and enjoy
