Jonas Bernoulli 83f0c9cea9 mu4e: Remove excess semicolons from library headers
Placing two semicolons on an otherwise empty line helps to logically
"connect" the surrounding "paragraphs", which in (only) some cases
makes sense.

Previously the three paragraphs of the permission statement were not
connected to each other like this, which is perfectly fine.  However
the preceding "This file is not part of GNU Emacs." line was connected
to the first paragraph, which does not make sense considering that the
latter is not connected two the second paragraph, which it relates to
more.

Once those two semicolons are gone, it also makes sense to remove
those from the second line.

README

Welcome to mu & mu4e!

Given the enormous amounts of e-mail many people gather and the importance of e-mail message in our
work-flows, it's essential to quickly deal with all that mail - in particular, to instantly find
that one important e-mail you need right now, and quickly file away message for later use.

`mu` is a tool for dealing with e-mail messages stored in the Maildir-format. `mu`'s purpose in life
is to help you to quickly find the messages you need; in addition, it allows you to view messages,
extract attachments, create new maildirs, and so on. See the [mu cheatsheet] for some examples. =mu=
is fully documented.

After indexing your messages into a [Xapian](http://www.xapian.org)-database, you can search them
using a custom query language. You can use various message fields or words in the body text to find
the right messages.

Built on top of `mu` are some extensions (included in this package):

  * mu4e: a full-featured e-mail client that runs inside emacs

  * mu-guile: bindings for the Guile/Scheme programming language (version 2.2 and later)

`mu` is written in C and C++; `mu4e` is written in elisp, and `mu-guile` in a mix of C and Scheme.

Note, `mu` is available in Linux distributions (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora) under the name
`maildir-utils`; apparently because they don't like short names.
