I'd be glad if this feature was in original source. I'm using Debian
distro and its courier-* packages. It is annoying to apply my own patches
every time the new version has come and it is more difficult to keep sync
with upstream releases.

Some time ago I sent a patch for this feature to this mailing list. There
was no comment but "we don't need it". Yes, my solution wasn't perfect but
I was suprised that the code was opened but the project was closed.

Thank you very much for your attachment. Where could I find the newer
version if you will release later?
