Hello notmuch devs,
I'm sending this email to inform you guys of some upcoming GMime 3.0
features and other changes that I've implemented.
Just for the record, I have some patches in progress for porting to
gmime-3.0. The main issue is the multiplicity of memory management
models involved. I think the gmime 3.0 approach of using more stock glib
memory management makes sense, but it will require a bit of work to make
code that can compile against gmime-2.6 and gmime-3.0. I don't see us
being able to drop support for gmime-2.6 for a few years, unfortunately.
