Re: [orca-list] Status of claws-mail

Hi Lorenzo.

Please see:

http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1270

At this point, I am working on other things (continued work in Orca,
along with accessibility testing for WebKit). Perhaps if users were to
ping these bugs, more attention would be paid to them.

Thanks and take care.
