Most of us have not had any problems with log_accum either, but in the emacs project they use lots of separate branches, which log_accum can't handle. > > Could you tell me where exactly in http://www.list.org you found syncmail? > > I picked up the copy I have from sourceforge awhile back.

I can't, unless I find out who the author is and under what license it has been released. As a matter of fact syncmail should not be in Savannah until we find out who wrote it and what's its license.
