I have a few patchsets adding:
- attachment support in compose
- mailcap support for multipart messages
- pgp support (decorations for reading, controls for composing)
- block operations on messages when searching
as well as miscellaneous minor bugfixes/features.

These are in various states of cleanliness, but none are directly
upstreamable right now. The first three I tried to upstream to felipec
a year or two ago, but I guess we were both too busy to push it.
(Excuse the pun.) 

If you're interested, I'm happy to share. I could invest a bit of time
now; I just didn't think anyone but me cared.

Cheers,
Nick
