Hi, I am Shashwat Anand, a 3rd year undergraduate student doing Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology and am interested in pursuing some of the 'email6' work i.e. parser and MIME handling support. I have submitted a GSoC proposal regarding this [1].
Happy to be on board and open to feedback from everyone. Thanks, ~l0nwlf [1] http://docs.google.com/View?id=d422qrd_28hfhcgghb On Sat, Apr 10, 2010 at 9:18 PM, R.
