[maemo-developers] Garage project news (was RE: Plugins available for MaemoClaws-mail 2.9.2-1)

[From: Acadia Secure Networks]

Quim/Jean-Luc/Nick,

I too like the idea of announcing the releases here. I check my email 
much more often than I do www pages and with inbound email autofiltering 
the email volume is no problem on this list. In fact I am on one topic 
specific list that has ~100 messages/day.


Best Regards,
