Hi everyone, Can Balsa 2.2.x be patched in any way to use gmime-2.0? As gmime-2.1.7 cannot be built on ia64: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=258988 Balsa 2.2.x now runs the very real risk of missing the deadline for inclusion with the next stable release ("Sarge") of Debian GNU/Linux. At this time, only 2.0.17-2 is a candidate for shipping.
