>Description:
 I would like sylpheed-claws to be included in the mail ports due to its increased functionality over the base sylpheed port.

 See http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
>Fix:
 Clone /ports/mail/sylpheed to install http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sylpheed-claws/sylpheed-0.6.5claws8.tar.gz

 1. Is this possible?

 2. How does one go about creating a port? Are there any utilities for this? Or is it all done by hand [creating the pkg_* files, etc]?

 3. Would there be any value in me creating a patch against the base ports/mail/sylpheed port to nudge things along?
