Hmm... thanks; some of those look as if they might be worth creating a
port (since I didn't see one for some of them):

catmint(6.3-P)[34] make search key=imapbiff
catmint(6.3-P)[35] make search key=xlassie
catmint(6.3-P)[36] make search key=tkbiff
catmint(6.3-P)[37] make search key=althea

(That last has a port: "Yet another GTK-based mail reader for X.
Supports IMAP" -- that's probably a bit of overkill for the application
in question, though.)

Maybe I'll do something useful about it yet....  :-}

Peace,
david
