Hello all.

I want to wish Christians a merry Christmas and all and everybody
a happy and healthy new year!

And i want to say thanks to package maintainers and other
providers of S-nail!  Here i want to mention particularly
Gaetan Bisson and Jürgen Daubert who are with us almost since the
beginning, through all those valleys!  And not rarely Gaetan
reported problems to be fixed, too.  Thank you!

Hilko Bengen of Debian, who thought about it and wants to continue
his maintainership.

Alexander Harm, "big Alex", who started maintaining a macOS
Homebrew port and keeps on going.

And "hello and thanks!" also to Jens Schleusener who manages to
maintain the great Fossies.org software archive.

Regarding S-nail it seems i had a bad last week 2016 and a bad
first week in June 2017, causing three updates of the v14.9
series, iirc, but apart from that we made a significant step
forward to being something useful.  I finally have found time to
work on S-roff, my GPLv2 groff fork.  And i hope the year 2018,
which sees the 40th birthday of BSD Mail on March 25th, brings
OpenPGP support for S-nail, and S/MIME support for deeper
structures along these changes (e.g., we could not `verify'
a signed message on the old S-nail list because Sourceforge
extended the MIME structure by the list footer).

Keep on going if you can, have a good time.  Every good moment is
pure treasure, with a view to Marieke Vervoort!
Ciao.
