Yeah, but in PMMail the win and OS/2 are different code bases, the
win has had a lot more recent work (maybe even some of the port
to wxwindows - as I understand that is the last thing that was
being worked on).

In the best of all worlds, both codebases would be open sourced
and the developers could pick the one needing the least work,
fix bugs, move in features from the other one that are missing,
and then start adding things like IMAP, unicode support....
