[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.
* Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably each tied to a parent
(terminal) process.
[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.
* 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, 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.
* 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.
