gnumail

[Robert Warning]

Try rebuilding gnustep and gnumail with the libart backend. It seems 
better than xgps. I had no such problem with libart and gnustep. Add 
WITH_GNUSTEP_LIBART=yes and WITH_GNUSTEP_DEVEL=yes in /etc/make.conf 
and rebuild. When its done setup your enviorment and run the command 
"defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-art". You might 
want to run "defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSFontAntiAlias YES". Run 
these as the user who runs gnustep apps, ie not root.
