This package was debianized by Jonas Meurer <mejo@debian.org> on
Mon, 24 Apr 2009 17:04:29 +0200.

It has been extracted from kdepim 3.5.9 debian sources, with help and
preliminary work done by Barry deFreese <bdefreese@comcast.net>.
Several patches have been applied from a mimelib 1.1.3 tarball at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lurker.
The files mimelib/nntp.cpp, mimelib/pop.cpp and mimelib/uuencode.cpp have
been patched to use strncpy() / strncat() instead of strlcpy() / strlcat().

At http://websvn.kde.org/tags/KDE/3.5.9/kdepim/mimelib/ the SVN tag of
mimelib from kdepim 3.5.9 is available.

Hey, guys!  It's me.  ;-)

Please put mimelib under the GPL.  I would have done it myself, if I had
more time.
