Ok, I'll tell you.  At http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/sources/

the first two lines you will see are:

LATEST_DEVEL_IS_2.1.6   06-Jun-2004 15:51     0k
LATEST_STABLE_IS_2.0.14 06-Mar-2004 19:43     0k

(Version 2.0.14 stable was my installed GMIME pkg at the time).

So, in my haste I was misled by this (2.1.6) into not looking further  
into the v2.1 dir where I would have actually seen that the latest  
version is in fact 2.1.9.

This was further confused when I saw that Balsa 2.2.5 bundles it's own  
GMIME (2.1.9).  (ie why bundle (only) GMIME if 2.1.9 is available on  
the GMIME website?)  Not sure, perhaps there is a valid reason.

Yes, I see that now; my oversight.  Thanks.
