The purpose of this mail library is to provide a portable, efficient middleware

Update Information:

Update to new upstream version 0.54 fixing a crash (NULL pointer dereference) in
the mail message header parser.    Note: There is no application in Fedora using
libetpan library for which such crash could be considered a security issue. This
can only be a security sensitive issue for some 3rd party, not packages
applications.
