+A Python interface to Mailutils framework.
+
+GNU Mailutils is a rich and powerful protocol-independent mail
+framework. It contains a series of useful mail libraries, clients,
+and servers. These are the primary mail utilities for the GNU system.
+The central library is capable of handling electronic mail in various
+mailbox formats and protocols, both local and remote. Specifically,
+this project contains a POP3 server, an IMAP4 server, and a Sieve mail
+filter. It also provides a POSIX `mailx' client, and a collection of
+other handy tools.
+
+This software is part of the GNU Project and belongs to the Free
+Software Foundation. All libraries are licensed using the GNU LGPL.
+The documentation is licensed under the GNU FDL, and everything else
+is licensed using the GNU GPL.
+
+See http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/ for more information about
+GNU Mailutils.
