-[TODO]
+TODO
+====
-* fix msh/mmdf problems.
-* Add IPv6 support.
-* Check/fix compilation on 64-bit systems.
* Write different function to read configuration files, instead
of using m_getfld.c
* convert calls from sprintf/vsprintf to snprintf/vsnprintf
* finish changing to macros for msgstats and msgflags
* Add support for Mail-Followup-To and Mail-Reply-To
* Add support for profile entry "Mailing-Lists"
-* let mhn and mhl accept files on standard in, and output to
+* let mhl accept files on standard in, and output to
standard out, when filtering files.
-* Add switch -more to `show' to call moreproc.
* Add new command "show" at WhatNow? prompt.
-* Add command to reverse the action of rmm [-nounlink] -- "urmm"? "umm"? "um"?
* Allow user customization of which kinds of text parts in multipart/alternative
messages are preferred. It would be nice if one selectable behavior would be
to be prompted at runtime for which version to show.
find what a particular option does is a pain in the nads.
* Add some way to configure whether you prefer to see text/plain or text/html
parts of multipart/alternative messages.
-* Flag bogus/misspelled mts.conf "masquerade:" / --enable-masquerade options.
-[POSSIBILITIES]
MAN PAGES
---------
-* Update mh-tailor man page.
-* generate mh-chart man page from other man pages
+* Transition of the mh-tailor man page
* update default mode in man pages with sed
SEQUENCES
not easy.
* Maybe add option gracefully handle empty sequences (-force).
-ENVIRONMENT/PROFILE
--------------------
-* Maybe add profile entry "Pager" to change the default pager?
-* Should nmh check for EDITOR or PAGER environment variable?
-
-POP
----
-* Clean up uip/spop.c (I dont' think it's needed any longer).
-* Need to decide if want to support APOP, RPOP, MPOP. APOP
- and RPOP still work, but need autoconf support added. Does
- anyone still use this stuff?
-
OPTIONS
-------
-* change switches to accept two dashes (--help)
* can we move option checking to its own function? Currently each
command is doing that itself.
* make the option parsing code dynamic, so that there is no limit
most all the commands).
* Add switch descriptions to -help output.
-COMP
-----
-* add option so that prompter can be used to input addresses,
- before the real editor is called to edit message.
-* fix -nowhatnowproc switch. Right now whatnowproc starts the edit
- session instead of comp, so -nowhatnowproc does nothing.
-
FLIST
-----
* add -format option so you can specify the look of the output
-------
* add escape %(sequence{foobar}) to detect arbitrary sequences.
-FORW
-----
-* Decode RFC-2047 headers in messages included when replying
- or forwarding.
-* Merge code for forw and repl.
-
INC
---
* Add ability to do filtering (call filterproc) when incorporating mail
-------
* add ability to specify Content-Transfer-Encoding in composition
drafts.
-* add support for Content-Disposition header (rfc1806).
* remove the code for caching from mhbuild.
MHL
---
-* remove naming hack in mhlsbr.c for adios and done.
* add ability to filter parts of the message by calling
an external filtering program.
-* fix internal pager for mhl?
-MHMAIL
-------
-* add -attach option (send could use this). This should
- be done by hooking in mhbuildsbr.c
-
-MHN/MHSHOW/MHLIST/MHSTORE
+MHSHOW/MHLIST/MHSTORE
-------------------------
-* add way so user can tell mhn to use internal method for
- handling type, such as multipart/mixed.
-* add way so user can tell mhn to use a certain `proc' such
- as moreproc, for certain content types.
-* add support for Content-Disposition header (rfc1806).
+* add support for Content-Disposition header (rfc1806, rfc2183).
* merge the two places in which mhshowsbr.c reads display
strings.
* when storing to a folder, should we save the folder context
first, so that storage string of "+" stores to the new
folder?
-MSH
----
-* change conditional includes in msh.c to use termios.h
-* Add -version to mshcmd.c for each command.
-* Change msh to use mbox style files, instead of mmdf. Add options -mbox,
- -mmdf to choose.
-*) There are couple calls to copyip() which should be changed to
- getarguments(). One problem is freeing the string getcopy'ed by
- getarguments().
-
PICK
----
* split regex code out into library.
* replace regex code with Henry Spencer's regex library.
-POST
-----
-* make -msgid the default
-* factor msgid code into own function
-
-PROMPTER
---------
-* maybe add ability to use prompter just for headers, and
- then use primary editor for editing message.
-
RCVSTORE
--------
* Change rcvstore so that it can store into multiple folders.
----
* Decode RFC-2047 headers in messages included when replying
or forwarding.
-* Merge code for forw and repl.
-
-SEND/SENDSBR
-------------
-* Maybe add `-server' and `-client' to documentation.
-* Add ability for returned messages from "send -push" to be
- in MIME format (this is actually a change in mhmail).
-* make -msgid the default.
-* Add RFC-2047 encoding support for out-going messages. This
- will probably require hooking mhparse into sendsbr.c, and doing
- a complete MIME parsing. Then all handling of Content encoding
- can be on the backend.
SLOCAL
-----
* Change slocal to use .slocalrc file, instead of .maildelivery?
* Add ability to use regular expressions in header matching.
-* Add support for Berkeley db.
* Clean up output from -debug option.
* Add -debuglevel to control the amount of debug info that is output.
* Add -debuglog to specify file to save debugging output.
* Add -logfile (or -audit) to specify where to record info about successful
deliveries.
-VMH
----
-* Fix vmh (or remove it). vmh seems to be using internal
- knowledge of curses.
-
-MTA INTERFACE
--------------
-* Fix locking code. Add lockfile command.
-* Think about support for DSN (Delivery Status Notification)
-* Test nmh with qmail. Add qmail's maildir format.
-* Relax restrictions on what can be done with headers in send/post.
-* figure out why smail.c and client.c need their own copies of
- getcpy, copyip, etc... (funny linking problem)
-
GENERAL
-------
-* see if the various versions of copyfile and copyf can be
- merged.
* change time functions to use POSIX functions by default.
-* Add MH-6.8.4 features into nmh (mostly done).
-* Maybe should move etcpath to sbr and add to libmh.
-* collect winsize, struct termio, etc... together into a ttyinfo
- structure.
-* change adios to take exit code argument.
-* use wait3 if not waitpid (maybe)
-* some of the calls to setjmp/longjmp should be replaced with
- sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
-* When do we need to add -lresolv for SunOS 4.1.x?
* replace use of ftell with fgetpos.
