Did anybody manage to get GNUMail to work on Solaris in the meanwhile? 
I haven't tried for a while but a year ago or so I tried very hard and 
finally gave up (no success). I would really like to see GNUMail.app to 
at least work as a mail client (on Solaris) before all-purpose features 
are added to the app.
