# To subscribers of the xforms list from Wim Kerkhoff <wim@nyetwork.org> :
Greetings!
It's good to see that XForms is now open source. As many of you know, XFMail
[1] uses the XForms toolkit. It compiles fine against 0.9999, except for one
minor issue, as I've detailed below. As this problem does not happen with 0.88,
I'm inclined to think that it's a problem with XForms. Any ideas? The latest
source can be grabbed/viewed from CVS [2], by checking out the xfmail tree from
from the archimedes project on SourceForge, or downloading version 1.5.2 [3].

Good.

I suggest contacting the XForms mailing list with problems with 0.9999
so that they can be addressed for version 1.0. It would be great if
xfmail built with XForms 1.0 out of the box when it came out.
