For now I am interested in GNUMail. I am running gnustep in a raspberry pi 3, and will do the bug fixing on a VM in a mac, and then test it on the VM and then the pi. I don't have any specific bug identified yet, for now I want to build everything from source so I get the latest versions of everything. This is because the first thing I encountered in GNUMail was strings not displaying in the UI. I had to click the email headers to see them. So I figured that building everything from source might eliminate that problem. I have built the latest GNUMail and it has that problem, so I figure the problem could be in one of the underlying libs (cairo ?)
