GMime is a set of utilities for parsing and creating messages using the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME).

As a developer and user of Electronic Mail clients, I had come to realize that the vast majority of E-Mail client solutions had less-than-satisfactory MIME implementations. More often than not these E-Mail clients created broken MIME messages and/or would incorrectly try to parse a MIME message thus subtracting from the full benefits that MIME was meant to provide. GMime is meant to address this issue by following the MIME specification while also providing programmers with an extremely easy to use application programming interface.

Requirements:
For proper compilation and functionality of GMime, the following packages are REQUIRED:
Glib version 1.2.x
Glib provides a number of portability-enhancing functions and types. Glib is included in most GMime-supported operating system distributions. Glib sources may be obtained from: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2

What's New in This Release:
This release fixes a bug where certain accessors like g_mime_message_get_subject() did not return the decoded version of the header value.
