Thanks.

There are a few patches in the Fedora RPMS which I'll look at to see if  
they are valid upstream.  Other than that, there is just a single bug at  
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125694 which I'll try  
my hand at identifying.  I'll see if I can help with any of those prior to  
your doing a 2.0.18 release.

Okay.  Fedora does ship with gnupg installed by default, but not gpgme.   
I'll see if there is a willingness to put that in.

Thanks for the offer.  The new attachment setup would be nice but I suspect  
it wouldn't be in time for Fedora Core 3, and by FC4 I would think the 2.2  
series would be in place.  I don't know what other distributions are  
looking at, and there's always people who grab their packages from the  
balsa site itself.  I don't know what the interest would be there.
