running the IMAP functional tests is essential for development. so if the code were moved from trunk, a test dependency on the binary would be needed. it may well be better to add this to postage (possibly as a separate project) rather than create a new sub-project: postage is the natural place to look for an email functional testing framework. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
