Or am I missing something ? A question: what are you trying to do? Modifying a specific NIB file? or Gorm File? It is best to manipulate gorm files with Gorm, NIB files with the appropriate XCode version. A bit of history: GNUMail was originally written for GNUstep my Ludovic and it laid out the interface with code, no Gorm files back then, perhaps for programmer's preference, but also because Gorm was much more primitive almost 20 years ago! It didn't even exist in its current state and gmodel files were used. Later, GNUstep was ported to Mac but the interface was adapted and laid out differently and also employed NIB files. You can notice that in many interface classes which have different init code for MACOS and "else" which is GNUstep. The Mac vintage is about 10.3 /10.4 and with that he project and NIB files are best edited and GNUMail perfectly runs on those. I am doing quite some work recently to clean up the project on 10.5 and Intel and work for updating also to 10.6 and 10.7 is done too. I do my best that all improvements still maintain GNUstep and "old mac" compatibility, since I find it cool that I can read email also on my vintage iBooks, one runnint 10.3 Mac and one GNUstep on GNU/Linux. In recent times, I started also updating piece after piece GNUMail interface code to use Gorm files and not code, so or some parts you may have either a NIB or a Gorm file available. I will continue this work in the next months, although a certain core will be difficult since the Controller behaves differently from Mac to GNUstep. Riccardo PS: You got a blank email because you triggered a bug in GNUMail itself and the way it handles encodings. I investigated many hours and cleaned up the code and mitigated it. If you can read this Mail, I was successful :) _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep
