Yes, unfortunately. There are also a lot of things to do - but right now
I'm having much troubles spending any significant amount of time on
Mahogany.

This is a good start, thank!

This is the ideal approach ;-) The first thing to do if you want to get
into developing Mahogany would be to compile it yourself - this is also
very helpful as you'd be able to test the fixes to the bugs you reported
below faster. Currently Mahogany can be compiled with VC++ >= 5.0 (project
files are in the cvs) and it should be possible to compile it with cygwin
using the Unix makefiles (and configure). Finally, there is someone working
on the Borland makefiles but I don't know if they're already finished.
Don't hesitate to post to this list if you have problems! Ah, and please
subscribe to this list or you might miss some replies.

It should be really easy to add this one - different people have worked on
it for a few _years_ and then I've done my best to make integration of it
as easy as possible in the existing code. But unfortunately I haven't heard
anything from Carlos for quite some time. And as I'm not personally
interested in this (except as a potential "selling point" for Mahogany)
nothing was finally done.

Yes...

Again, it would be great if someone personally interested in this could
work on it. As I don't have a Palm, you'll understand that I'm not
particularly motivated in working on this part of the code.

Hmm, could you please describe more carefully the exact sequence of steps
you took?

Sorry, what exactly do you mean?

I'll look at it but I'm pretty sure it did - at least I have quite a few
of entries with several addresses in it.
OTOH, I see another bug/problem:
4. why does the from line in your message read
From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=3D=3FISO-8859-1=3FQ=3FOliver=3D20R=3DF6pke=3F=3D?=
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
? I.e. why is your name QP-encoded twice - did you manually enter it
like this or is it a Mahogany bug?
Thanks,
