I don't think there will be a "native" MacOS X port, but it should indeed =20
run using Apple's X11. There is no Fink package yet, but it should be =20
possible to build it from sources (didn't try it yet as my isdn card works =
=20
fine with Linux, but doesn't with OS X...).

Basically, you need a Gnome 2 installation, including the development =20
packages. If the Fink package manager is smart (I guess it is), fetching =20
"libgnomeprintui22-dev" may be sufficient - you will get all the rest =20
automagically. Of course, you also need the gnupg package, and (from =20
Apple's OS X CD's) X11 and X11-devel installed.

At this point, you still need two other libs -gpgme and libesmtp- which =20
are not yet available in fink (at least as a sufficiently new release; =20
please see the links below for pointers).

You should then get the "stable" balsa 2.0.17 release, and install it. To =20
simplify key management, get gpa (again the sources - the Fink packages =20
are ancient). The process is not trivial, but hopefully Fink packagers =20
will include them in the future...

Cheers, Albrecht.
