Sorry, got sidetracked. Both wx and M compiled well. The "cannot drop in same folder" 
bug is not there. Font changes are also working. 

I have had two lockups that required me to kill M and restart. Both seem to be related
to updating the message count when switching to a new folder and doing "something"
while the count is being updated. Unfortunately, I have not pinpointed what that 
"something" is. When it happens all "active input" to M stops working. Active input defined 
as follows:

Cannot select a message
Cannot select a different folder
*CAN* click buttons like the "Exit" button and the "Do you really want to exit" window comes
up BUT clicking the yes/no buttons has no effect. The confirm window can be closed using
the Window manager "x" in the upper right.
M itself cannot be closed using the Window manager "x". It has to be killed.

M would not compile with Python support but as it was not important to me I turned it 
off. I can try a new compile if you need the error messages.

I still do NOT have "drag and drop" folder moving. Is there documentation somewhere 
in the source that shows every possible option that can go in the .config file? 

It would be nice if M could be started and configured WITHOUT any local folder setup. I 
use IMAP 100%, no need to have it ask for local INBOX/TRASH/DRAFTS then have to hide 
them in the tree. Don't want the option to set them up later removed, just the forced 
setup. Should be able to go straight to IMAP server setup when first starting a new install. 

Once again, what external editor do you use for composing? The fact that wrapping in the 
0.67 composer is broken but it worked back in 0.66 is a bit odd. Manually wrapping 
messages is a pain in the rear. If you know of an external email-aware editor that can 
properly handle wrapping '>' quoted lines I would be very interested.

And, has someone compiled the latest 0.67 for Win32 yet? Can it be installed on a WinXP 
box alongside 0.66 for testing or does the use of the registry make that not possible? If 
there's no good documentation for the .config file on Linux I'll probably install a "test" 
version of M on this machine so I can play with it without breaking my working copy. Any 
plans to get away from using the registry on Win32 so that complete .config files can be 
multi-platform with only the directory names needing conversion between machines? It 
would be nice to be able to do a single install then copy the config file to all other machines.

Other questions later in a new thread (create a new "button", tweak a template, etc.).

Thanks,

Gerald
