Goodbye Sylpheed-Claws, Hello Claws Mail
Today we changed the name of Sylpheed-Claws to Claws Mail, as we move further from our Sylpheed origin. This will help those people who still mistakenly think that Sylpheed-Claws is the development or bleeding edge version of Sylpheed - which it ceased to be a long, long time ago - and will stop people referring to Claws as 'sylpheed', (which is something that began to bug me more than it should have) - it is even packaged as 'Sylpheed (claws version)' for one distro. There is little that is shared between the two anymore, they don't even share the same license: Sylpheed is (partly) LGPL whereas Claws Mail is, of course, GPL - there's nothing lesser about Claws Mail.

And maybe that'll stop the annoying "bloated" comments, too :)

So we have to talk about the CM now, not the SC anymore…
Is the name anyhow related to "Windows Mail"? ;-)

Or Apple mail? You're joking, borkenkaefer, aren't you? That's just a common naming scheme for such app.
