Cool!

Yes, that sounds like a good idea!  I.e. around Easter might be a good idea, wouldn't it?

BTW, there are still minor inaccuracies in the README –
* no OpenSSL dependency any more
* gtkhtml4 support has been removed
* no aspell libs required (e.g. see attached).

Using the current master with IMAP intensely, I had two crashes recently.  The first triggered a CRITICAL and then a segfault, and the second a segfault only and (running on Debian Stretch) a memory corruption/suspected double-free report; both not in gdb, unfortunately.  Running Balsa in valgrind, I got reports about using uninitialised memory, but no crash.  I still have to investigate that, and I'm not sure if its related, though.  As running in valgrind is rather slow, the crashed /might/ be caused by a race which is “hidden” by the slow processing in the latter case.  Hmmm…

Cheers,
Albrecht.
