Thanks Steve. Sorry for top posting, I'm trying to answer a lot of mails quickly =
and I am using this poor webmail interface instead of claws ;)

I'm abandoning pkgsrc on OpenBSD for now. Claws-mail works great for me on =
NetBSD, but I really had to do some major arm-twisting to get it built properly =
on NetBSD because I wanted many of the plugins which are Claws defaults, but =
they're not NetBSD defaults (gpg, gpginline, gpgmime, gpgme). It may well be =
that I don't know how to set the right options so I finally just edited the =
three makefiles. It was quite frustrating. I had built it from source on Linux =
and I did everything from the configure and it built and worked as I wanted =
the first go. I had a few tries on NetBSD before I realized why no plugins =
got built. It's a bit confusing because the defaults on pkgsrc version aren't =
the same as they are on the Claws website which lists the plugins that come =
with the product. If you think about it makes sense because maybe you don't =
want gnupg as a pkgsrc dependency for Claws, but it's easy to get a bit lost =
in the process of building it, especially if you've built it on other systems.

Since as far as I know the build doesn't require dependencies for plugins in =
order to built the plugins themselves (in other words I should be able to build =
all of Claws mail including gpg support even if I've not installed gnupg on =
the system) may I request that all of the default plugins (that is, plugins =
that Claws-mail lists as "standard plugins") be built with claws as a default?

Cheers,
Rand
