Dear Mahogany and users-

I was pointed to this program and it looks very good.  I like the point that
you are not reinventing the wheel and considering compatibility.  I am new
to Linux and it amazes me the attitude that one can just wipe away the
addresses or data a Windows user has accumulated and people will go along
with it.  To have a program that spans Linux and Windows, with the same
interface and accepts files from both is great.

I saw in this version that you are supporting SSL using the OpenSSL
libraries.  Might I make a suggestion?

I and a few others are involved with cryptographic experiments and we use
Open SSL to create our own X.509 digital certificates for use in various
crypt applications.  One of them is using S/MIME in Netscape/Outlook/OE for
email encryption.  The only mail program I have seen on Linux that uses
S/MIME is Netscape, and I hate its interface. Now one of the cardinal rules
for cryptographic utilities is that an open source code is preferred so it
can be checked for errors.  As you are open source, use OpenSSL, and have a
great email program that strives to be interchangeable across platforms,
including S/MIME capability would really be an enhancement.  Especially as
Linux moves off the hobbyists' desks to business.  Due to the key automatic
key management features of S/MIME, its a favorite of business.

Thanks  for a great program.

Yours-
Ridge Cook
