[sylpheed:30092] Re: Sylpheed 2.3.0beta1 released

[Pavlos Parissis]

Hello,

For the past months I have noticed quite a lot of work on WIN32 part of
our favorite MUA.
This is very good news because the software is becoming available to more people.
But, being a UNIX/Linux user only I am afraid that this may slow down the
process of putting more features in the software.

I am saying this because it is quite hard to maintain several ports of the same software.

Nevertheless, Hiro is doing a great job and we are very thankful.

Kind regards,
Pavlos
