GNUMAIL + PANTOMIME 1.2.3

-------------------------

New releases which combine many improvements collected in the past three
years!

GNUMail <http://www.nongnu.org/gnustep-nonfsf/gnumail/index.html>and
Pantomime found a home in the past years in the "GNUstep non-FSF"
project on GNA. However, GNA shut down and the project was moved to
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/gnustep-nonfsf. This move was time
consuming, left the repository unavailable for weeks, but we were able
to recover the repository with full history. The code is here
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnustep-nonfsf/ .


During the move, Copyrights, Headers and Licenses were cleaned up. The
X-Face code had no clear license and was removed. It is quite an
obsolete feature anyway, I haven't seen it used since long time.

The MacOS version works quite well and we provide now both a PPC
<http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/gnustep-nonfsf/GNUMail-1.2.3-mac-ppc.zip>
and an Intel
<http://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/gnustep-nonfsf/GNUMail-1.2.3-mac-uni32.zip>
binary. The PowerPC version works well on vintage Macs so you can use
GNUMail on your trusty iBook or iMac!
