Thanks Martin, everything works fine. :-) I tested the following
new ports on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8:

  claws-mail-3.1.0
  claws-mail-etpan_privacy-0.15.5_15
  claws-mail-gtkhtml2_viewer-0.16
  claws-mail-mailmbox-1.14_3
  claws-mail-notification-0.13
  claws-mail-smime-0.7.3

Just a couple comments/questions:

Does this somehow bring possibility of printing HTML mail parts (as
seen through dillo or gtk2html2 viewers) -- or I missed something?

Great.

It is very useful that files are now opened as read-only so they can't
be _saved_ under ~/.claws-mail (I sometimes mechanically hit 'Save' in
opened attachment and then lose it when I close Claws-Mail). However,
Claws-Mail-3.1 still deletes read-only files stored under ~/.claws-mail
when closed (if those files are still opened at that moment). I know
that this is not strictly related to porting, I just take an
opportunity to hear opinions of others: shouldn't opened attachments be
kept alive and read-only under ~/.claws-mail until manually closed by
outer applications that handle them?

Finally, what about etpan-privacy module? It can't be loaded: "This
module is not licensed under a GPL v2 or later compatible license" (with
both 3.0 and 3.1). The module is GPLv2.

Best regards and thank you for your work.
