GNUMail.app status

Hi,

I've worked a lot on GNUMail.app this weekend. The big change
is that I've introduced full support for bundles.

It's now possible to easily develop GNUMail.app bundles to
extend its functionalities. You can find the bundle
interfaces in GNUMail/GNUMail/GNUMailBundle.h and
 GNUMail/GNUMail/PreferencesModule.h.

To show how to develop a bundle for GNUMail.app, I've 
developed a simple example that you can find in 
GNUMail/Bundles/Clock. It's a simple "Clock" widget that
shows the time/date of the selected message.

You can see a screenshot here:

To install this bundle, just do:

cd Bundles/Clock
make
make install

Bundles (that extends GNUMail.app functionality) are
installed in $GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT/Library/GNUMail/

This "opens" the possibility to easily develop a
PGP (GPG) bundle or a X-Face (and X-URL-Image) bundle
for GNUMail.app.

Also, I've separated all the Preferences Panel modules in
bundles that are loaded when the Preferences Panel is shown.

I've also optimized some parts in Pantomime and added the
possibility to automatically compact a mailbox when
the mailbox's window is closed.

I haven't finished all the "hooks" for the bundles but it's
progressing very well.

You can get a look at it by using CVS version of GNUMail.app
and Pantomime:

cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/opt/cvsroot login (password is anoncvs)
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/opt/cvsroot checkout GNUMail
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/opt/cvsroot checkout Pantomime

Note that you have to do a complete checkout of GNUMail.app.

Again, comments and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks a lot,
		Ludovic
