Re: Aging Dependencies?

My organization recently switched its mail services to google
(gmail). The web interface works great for many things, and
is a must for reading and replying to particularly rich content,
managing my calendar, docs, and such. But it does have its 
limitations (e.g., no regex searching). So, I continue to greatly 
prefer exmh for my general mail management (I receive dozens to 
hundreds of emails per day), reading and composing.  I have messages 
in my folders dating back to 1993 -- now quaint curiosities -- when 
we cut over from VMS to Unix. I've managed to keep exmh going 
through numerous platform changes, but fully expect to hit a 
showstopper at some point. Perhaps that will be the signal for me 
to retire. In the meantime, thanks for a great package!
