Well, I've taken a look at the GNUMail.app sources and I can say that,
even if it would represente a lot of work, the think could be done...

I'd like to do this and I think also that this, as we have seen with the
Ludovic's work, would be also an help to solve many problems in the gui
classes.

But, not without a mac!

Unfortunately, I've no money to solve this part of the problem :-(((

And, in this strange country, a mac is ~30% more expensive then in the
rest of Europe.
