Announcing Mahogany Version 0.21a ===================================================================== Mahogany is an OpenSource(TM) cross-platform mail and news client. It is available for X11/Unix and MS Windows platforms, supporting a wide range of protocols and standards, including POP3, IMAP and full MIME support. Thanks to its built-in Python interpreter it can be extended far beyond its original functionality. Mahogany's wealth of features and ease of use make it one of the most powerful clients available, providing a consistent and intuitive interface across all supported platforms. It aims at supporting GNOME (and KDE for that matter) and includes an extendable address book system with support for other program``s address database formats. Currently Mahogany``s native format and (X)Emacs`` BBDB address books are supported. Mahogany is being developed using the free wxWindows application framework, building on the gtk toolkit on Unix. Mahogany is constantly tested on the Linux-x86, Linux-alpha, Solaris-sparc and MS Windows. It should compile and work on any major Unix platform. A binary release for MS Windows will appear with the next release.
