Hello,
at first, what is Muttprint? Muttprint is a small Perl script to print mails in Mutt and other text-based mail clients in a friendly way.
I've been working on Muttprint for 3 years. It was my first OpenSource project, it was my first real Perl program and it has been useful for me and lots of other people. Of course, it's still useful.
But my interests have changed in that time. Of course, Perl is a good scripting languages and I still use it for scripting. And I still think it's the best language available for the task that Muttprint performs. But my interest have changed in direction C, C++ and Java. UTF-8 handling in current Perl versions is awful in my opinion and OO-programming in Perl is not what I wish.
Most work on Muttprint was not programming but writing documentation, anwer mails and making releases. One mistake was to write both English and German documentation. Another mistake was to wait with releases until all documentation translators have contributed. KDE, Xf ce and other big projects do this better.
While programming the new UTF-8 stuff I saw that this work was more a burden than fun and that's the reason for me to look for a new maintainer of Muttprint. Someone with more time and somewone who really wants to add new features. So: If YOU like to takeover the developement of Muttprint, please mail me!
Regards, Bernhard
