From 4d17de3c1e1ed6a9a717c18fa0d75c3b9f918016 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Harkless Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 03:29:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] After nmh 1.0.4, moved from top-level 'nmh' directory to 'nmh/docs'. --- docs/TODO | 221 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 221 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/TODO diff --git a/docs/TODO b/docs/TODO new file mode 100644 index 0000000..be9e6dd --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/TODO @@ -0,0 +1,221 @@ +[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 +* convert calls from getcpy to strdup +* modularize access to context/profile list. +* add command printm to print messages +* 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 + 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. +* Add a new %-escape that makes temp files more permanent than %f, so that you + can use gnuclient -q or netscape -remote on message parts. Put netscape + -remote in mhn.defaults for text/html once this is done. +* Change all man pages to group all the commandline options together in one + section with each as a separate mini-heading. Having to dig through prose to + 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 +* update default mode in man pages with sed + +SEQUENCES +--------- +* Change so you can have more than 26 sequences. Unfortunately, + given the way that the bit flags for sequences work, this is + 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 + to the number of command line arguments (this has been done for + 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 + of flist. +* add Flist-Exclude profile component + +FOLDER +------ +* add Folder-Order profile component (same as flist) +* add Folder-Exclude profile component + +FORMATS +------- +* 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 +* Change inc to use libary function folder_addmsg(). + +MHBUILD +------- +* 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 +------------------------- +* 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). +* 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. +* Add folder locking. + +REPL +---- +* 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. -- 1.7.10.4
