## Submitted by seth vidal Assigned to **Sean Davis `@bluesabre`** **[Link to original bug (#9964)](https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9964)** ## Description Hi, I have no objection to perl itself - but I don't love pulling in a bunch of package deps for a single script which handles mailtos. When I was looking at the xfce pkg deps and I noticed that exo pulls in perl I went looking for why and came up with the exo-compose-mail-1 script causing it all. Since many modern linux distros use python for system tools (fedora, ubuntu, debian, centos, rhel, etc, etc, etc) I rewrote the script in python. I've only tested it with claws-mail and a little bit with thunderbird but if there is a test suite that can be run against it I'd be happy to try that out. the script is here http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/mailtoparse.py If the exo maintainers would like to use it (or any parts of it) to replace the perl script I am happy to contribute it. If not or if you have other plans for the exo-compose-mail-1 script, then that's fine too. :) I was just trying to minimize dependencies on my system. :) Version: 0.12.10
