Dan, I used Sylpheed-Claws for several years, with the past 6 months being on Gentoo. Given the still rapid pace of claws' development (as Neil mentions), the only way to have new features and fixes for old is to turn on ~x86. Even though officially "experimental", the releases are all very, very usable. My recommendation is to add mail-client/claws-mail to package.keywords and run the latest version of claws-mail. You'll end up with a good program that, if not perfect, is 99.9% perfect :-> Regards, David -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
