This is an error with alien which I had told the developer who said it was fixed
in a later version. I had made some changes by which I was able to run alien , I
think that if you consult the archives you should be able to locate it.
unfortunately I don't have the patches with me....

Subject: [LIH] mahogany.deb & alien error
Hi,
Today just to try mahogany I downloaded mahogany.deb file, since rpm file was
not available on the site thinking that using alien I will be able to convert
this deb file to rpm format.
But when I try to run alien I get the following error and the rpm file is not
created :
-------------------------------------------------------------
suselinux:/home/rajesh/tmp # alien -r mahogany_0.60_i386.deb
-- Examining mahogany_0.60_i386.deb
tar: control: Not found in archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
-- Unpacking mahogany_0.60_i386.deb
-- Automatic spec file generation
-- Building the package --2.i386.rpm
--2.spec: unknown option
alien: Error putting together the RPM package.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Can anybody help me out on this ? Suresh Mahogany was your suggestion :-)
Spruce suggested by Arun is also good GTK based email client. Only drawback is
that it does not support local delivery ( say sendmail ). You have the option of
sending the mail directly to smtp server.
Thanks in advance.
