Yes, but I'm not spending much time on emails. That's most certainly 
**not** a good thing by itself, but I do spend my time working on 
MailMate code instead. I've mentioned a few times that I'm working on a 
new message view and this has kind of spread out to other parts of 
MailMate. The composer window is now also, more or less, going to be 
re-implemented. It'll look a lot like before, but the re-implementation 
means that I can fix a lot of long-standing bugs and add some features 
which were previously very hard to do. Most recently, I've been working 
on adding better handling of attachments which will make, e.g., 
drag/drop/copy/cut/paste work much better than before.

Unfortunately, what most users see now is only what I accidentally break 
in the old code such as printing and the preview (in the latest test 
release, but I'll look into it).

Hopefully I'll get around to doing that again, but for now I'm focused 
on getting the new message and composer views into a state where I can 
ask some of you to try it out. The good news is that I'm using it myself 
now, but some key features are still missing. Most notable major missing 
features are image blocking, embedding HTML when replying/forwarding, 
and all user feedback related to OpenPGP and S/MIME.

I'm still here and I'm looking forward to releasing more updates of 
MailMate which can hopefully lead to something that I'm comfortable 
labelling 2.0. That is my main goal even though it's just a number. 
(Eventually, I do need to make more money on MailMate either through 
license key sales or by gaining more patrons.)

And a special **thank you** to the people who answer MailMate users on 
this list when I'm not around!!
