Big bugfix to cscget, thanks to all who reported. Now cscget is 10 times
faster. Still a little intensive on the cpu side if the attachements are big
but they come through much faster now. I will probably be making a bugfix
release later on today or tomorrow so those of you who do not like to use
CVS can wait.

Quote Symbols are now sorted in the proper order beforing being used.
So, it doesn't matter anymore what order you place the quote symbols. :)

View message window now has a headerbar just like the headerbar in the root
window at bigguy's request.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Thu May 11 17:44:01 EDT 2000
(shank)
-preserve message format with (i know it's nasty)
-added different colors for multiple layer quotes. Cycles through 3 colors.
also, keep in mind that ordering of quote symbols in options is important.
But larger quote symbols first, i.e. as the default, "> ,> ,>". That is,
but 3 character quote symbols before 2 character quote symbols.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Thu May 11 01:59:21 CDT 2000
(muhri)
OK Edit -> options -> Message Colors is where you can customize your Message
text color, replies color based on your quote symbols that you also can
configure, and your background color (at bigguy's request, here you go bud)
This is basically all the config stuff for Warren's colorizing mechanism..
I'll be wokring on this some more to have the button set as the color
chosen, in the mean time - don't be scared to try it, I have put default
buttons if you screw up and don't like your colors, hehe.
Happy now Wayne :)

CSCMail now accepts arguments from the command line to mail someone and
exit. Why? so I can use it with MuttZilla, which allows you to click a link
in netscape and use an external mailer. Well, you can use it directly too,
here is how it works:
cscmail muhri@muhri.net "CSCMail Rocks" countzero@cyberdeck.org
this will place muhri@muhri.net in the to: field and CSCMail Rocks in the
subject field, and will also CC Steve. Notice the quotes in the subject line
because it has a space, if your subject has one word, ie CSCMail only, then
there is no need for the quotes.
Let's say you want to email multiple people and CC multiple people too,
cscmail "muhri@muhri.net, countzero@cyberdeck.org" "Hi!" "lane@foo,
flavio@blah"
This will place muhri and count in the to field, Hi ! in the subject field
and Lane, Flavio in the CC field... I recommend Muttzilla, it makes browsing
with netscape a little less painful since you email using CSCMail, hehe.

Roll to 1.7cvs development version - here is the first commit. This adds the
functionality to CSCMail to switch icons on the fly, if you go to
view->toolbar->switch icons, you'll find a menu that CSCMail builds from
valid pixmap dirs only. Currently Aqua, Pro and Neon but if you add a valid
pixmap dir, CSCMail will recgonize it and add it too, I will be adding a
rescan dir menu item next. Also when you switch themes, if no folder is
selected, its pretty quick. If a folder is selected, CSCMail will refresh
that folder too so that your pixmap's for priority and attachements match.

Another patch from Warren,
- spell_window is now "attacked" to a specific compose window.
- A confirmation dialog for adding words to the dictionary.
also, now you can view urls in netscape even if you use GtkHTML but you have
to check that option in the config dialog.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warren is having at it today, this adds auto spell on send, Not enabled by

Recrusive dir importing, it'll take all the files in a given directory and

Mail->import->A directory.

Now print let's us choose if we want to print the message with the raw header
or without, if without is chosen a small from, to, subject and date are
appended to the top just like how we do in forward. I think Lane is quite happy
now. Also we filter out the attachement from the message from printing.
text/html only messages can't be printed ... if its multipart and contains
text/html and text/plain, etc.. then its fine. However, if the message is only
text/html then No ! So Lane, there you go.

fetch command is configurable for the installer now, if you don't provide an
argument then it'll fall back to wget.
ie, ./CSCMailInstaller.pl will fallback to wget.
./CSCMailInstaller.pl ncftpget - will use ncftpget to get the files (given
that the mirror is an ftp mirror).
The mirror is still hardcoded as ftp://ftp.sedl.org so anybody who would
like to change that can do so by editing the files and changing that variable.
Enjoy.

CSCMailInstaller.pl - the name says it all. I got sick of all the people
having problems with RPM's and packages and the etc.. so this is my
solution. Right now its roughly coded but 100% functional, I'll tidy the
code up and make it pretier later. Please test people... All you need to do
is run it, it depends on wget. I'll make that configuratble to whatever your
prefered fetching utility is. Also it uses a good mirror of CPAN to me at
least, I'll make that configurable too. for now, some try it and please give
me some feedback, prefereably on clean machines. but any will do.

I just added threadsorting.pl. I thought I'd like to do the threadsorting, but because it is a big change I thought about doing a little stand-alone. This stand-alone is calles threadsorting.pl. You give it 1 parameter: a cscmail Folder-Name. It than shows you the mails of this folder sorted by threads. On STDERR it shows you the inreplyof's of the messages it couldn't insert (that means messages which are in reply to a message which isn't there).
The whole programm is very rough at the moment. So it will only give you a brought idea (but this is what rapid prototyping is all about, isn't it?).
So I'm open to suggestions of any form.

Error reporting when CSCget or CSCsend are running already and the user tries
to run them again. This will also tell you when a lockfile was not removed for
any reason so that you would know why CSCMail is not getting your mail. A
better security measure against loss of email. Why didn't I think of that
beofre!! hrm...
Also if lockfile is found, we don't fork cscget or cscsend either, less
overhead and more efficent.

Fixed MIME bug if a person sends you a MIME encoded file that was NOT multipart (ie: they e-mail just a binary, with no actual message) it used to fill the View window with screenspam, and in some cases could overflow the HTML widget and cause a segfault. Not to mention the attachment would not be displayed in the drop down menu for saving. In otherwords, it was broken. Now it works right. Also fixed the paperclip in the message list to make it show up only for mails that actaully have attachments... still not 100% on that I am sure, but much better then before (ie: before, it would show a paperclip for any mail that was multipart/mixed Now it shows a paperclip for any mail that is NOT text/* multipart/alternative or multipart/report) I am sure I have missed a few, but we'll see...

Ok... at muhri's request, a new field has been added to the accounts.
alter table accounts rename column friendly to descr;
alter table accounts add column friendly text;
(Postgres of course)
It would be advisable to prolly also immediately edit your acocunts and fill in values for friendly name...
What this allows... is for you to describe an account (Steve at Work) and have something ELSE be used in the From: field.. for example:
Account ID: 1
Descr: Steve at Work
Friendly: Steve Kordik
Reply: stevek@voila.net
in all menu's etc this account would be listed as "Steve at Work"
(Checking mail for account Steve at Work) etc...
But, when you sent mail from that account, the from address would be set to:
Steve Kordik <stevek@voila.net>
that way you can have many accounts that say the same thing in the From: line, but still tell which is which when it comes to the menu's etc...

Added support for MIME encoded subjects to csclib.pl and included a decodesubj.pl script to go through your db and MIME decode all your subjects. (These are fairly rare, I got my FIRST one today on the Gtk-List but hey, might as well support them!) Any other fields that might get mime encoded? (We handle Subject: and From: right now...)

Fixed bookmark popup buglett... Added a statusbar to CSCBrowse (at muhri's request) It is not all that horribly informative... but it gets the point accross sort of. Until we can do non-blocking IO (read "threads") its the best I can do.
What do people think about a dropdown list for the "Back" button, that shows a "history" (like netscape does..) prolly would be linked to a right click, as I am not sure how to catch something where you have held the button down for a while... Anyway, let me know if that would be cool or not...

fixed some lil bugletts... such as the filter stuff... we where doing sort (keys(%filter)) which is fine if you have less than 10 filters... but once you have 10 11 etc.. then the normal "alphabetic" sort does things like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 == 1 10 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
of course, that means that filters get run in the wrong order...
I fixed it to "sort numerically (keys(%filter))" and moved sub numerically from cscmail to csclib.pl (where it and all things like it belong)
this is of course all a part of making DnD filter sorting a reality... once I figure out the equivalent to the above for a CList sort, I will go ahead and do DnD filter sorting.

Right-Click on folder tree and you have import into folder, what this will

here we go... file insert into message is now implemented. look into the message
menu in the compose dialog. unfortunatly Gtk::Text does not allow to get the
current cursor position so the text will get inserted at the beginning of
the mail.
reply-all includes now the from: address into the to; list, if the reply-to:
field is set (applies especially to maillinglists)

Jayceel and Lunasea thought it'd be a better idea to move the contents of
the folders to deleted folder when empty folder is chosen rather than going
ahead and emptying the contents right there and then. So they got it :)

OK, empty selected folder from the right-click menu on the folder tree is
implemented, Lane will like this one since he doesn't have to select all the
messages and the etc ... It even works for deleted items folder so I'll wait
for the count's opinon on removing empty deleted items but I like it still
as I am reading and emptying my trash.. what do you guys say?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: Sat Mar 25 16:41:28 CST 2000

OK, right click menus in the folder tree, currently it can create a new

create table bookmarks (id int4, title text, url text);
Right now you can browse to a page, and choose "Bookmark Current Page"
and it will bookmark that page for you... No delete capability at this
time (or edit...) that will come soon though. (If you must delete a
bookmark, just nuke it from the Database (ie: delete from bookmarks where
id = 3; would delete bookmark number 3) )

okay.. dupe code working again. added a new field to account. do
alter table accounts add dupecheck text;
update accounts set dupecheck='y'; or no, whatever you like
(you can change it in the account edit for shure)
it does dupe checking on import mails, mbox, and pop... dupe messages will
get deleted quietly if you checked the delete mails on your account.

Import works better now, and the spool file doesn't get trunkated if you do
not want it to for any reason. However, if you decide to trunkate after you
had set it not to trunkate for a while, it will trunkate all the contents at
once. So make a backup copy if you wish to import it into cscmail later on
if you lose some mail due to you crashing your computer :)

code.. you can now change your icon path in the options dialog... the
"browse" button doesn't work.. I got sidetracked.. but I will finish that
soon. Also, the icons don't refresh immediately... you have to close and
re-open CSCMail for it to take effect... committing two icon sets ...
neon, and pro.... thanks BigGuy... !!!
You will find libdir/pixmaps/ is empty... and /libdir/pixmaps/neon and
/libdir/pixmaps/pro are the new sets.. we default to /libdir/pixmaps/pro
If ya wanna finish out the icons.. (the minibrowser and help buttons for
example) please go ahead... if you wanna make new themes, go ahead...
Ideally, I will add a lil icon pane to the config panel, and when you
switch icon paths, it will show a preview of the icons in that path...
also, on clicking OK, it will refresh all the icons to the new theme...
(Without a restart...) Oh, and we will be utilizing mouse overs for all
new buttons, so themers, please submit a "icon" and an "icon_over"

Added full Scoring system... it is a preference, you can turn it off
if you don't like the "Score" column. of course, any scoring filters you
have will STILL be applied with scoring off, you just won't see the
effects. You can sort by score, you can "alt -" and "alt +" messages to
modify their score. Scoring filters do not interfear with other filters,
ie: you can set a filter to auto-move all mail from
cscmail@cscmail.penguinpowered.com to a CSCMail folder, and also have a
filter to +3 all mail from countzero@cyberdeck.org and they will BOTH be
applied.
You will have to modify your messages table like this:
alter table messages add score int4;
Enjoy.. oh and this was done as a result of Bigguy and CmdrTaco's
requests.

* 20000318 FC
actually my lost change introduced some errers in mbox support.. should be fixed
* 20000318 FCU
Changed the cscget progressbar. it now shows x of y messages and on a
second progressbar x of y bytes. if bytes is bigger than 4096 bytes, kb
will get displayed... cscget is now use strict and some minor tweaks in
csclib
* 20000318 CZ
Fixed \r\n bug in POP3 code... (the spec requires it.. dunno how I
missed that...)
Implimented the $prefs{'DateDisplayFormat'} stuff... changed its
interpretation a lil... new formatting code:
%M = Month, %d = Day, %y = 2 digit year, %Y = 4 digit year,
%h = Hour, %m = Minute, %s = Second.
So: %M/%d/%y %h:%m == 03/18/00 15:44 (The time right now)
That is the default.. but of course, change it as you wish!
* 20000318 CZ
fixed llester's no space in between Subject: and subject bug... actually
made the space optional for all items. added a few image type to inline
image viewing. made some other changes I forget about now... hehe
* 20000317
Lock cscsend when running so that we won't run duplicate copies.
* 20000317 Red
Committed more GPG code. You probably won't notice much difference
unless you select sign. If you do, all hell will break loose, so
don't.

New option, Quote with .. Default is > .. but now it can be changed..
* 20000316 CZ
Added support for GET forms to mini-browser... no POST but GET does
work (ie: Google or Yahoo searches now work... still can't login to
Slashdot since they use POST form.. and I can't figure out how to encode
a POST request right now...)
* 20000316 CZ
Added support for re-directs to mini-browser
* 20000315 CZ
Added a configurable quote prefix for replies/forwards... its in the
options dialog.. defaults to "On %d, %n said:" where %d and %n are
replaced with full date and friendly name respectively. If that line
is cleared out, then no header is applied (ie: delete to turn the
feature off.
* 20000315 CZ
Ok, now you can right click, save as... in the browser.. to download
files... Also, of you click a link that is not mime-type image/ or
text/ it will pop-up with the download dialog... its VERY FAST here
even faster than Netscape... hehe There are some issues with the popup
menu... but hopefully I can get them worked out.. seems to be fighting
with the GtkHTML widget for control of the mouse buttons....
and of course, none of this does a damn thing for ppl still using XmHTML
* 20000315 CZ
Added a status bar thingy to the web browser that shows the url of
any hyperlinks you are hovering over...
* 20000315 CZ
Ok, someone shoot me.... I got another wild hair... and now, for those
of you using the GtkHTML widget, CSCMail can now function as a web
browser for you. Under File, you will find "Mini Browser" Go ahead...
Click it... you know you want to... Back, Home... configurable home...
Handles all links... It is a global/single instance widget.. ie:
if you click on a new hyperlink in the CSCMail window, it will load in
the browser window if it's already open... Mailto: links in the browser
window of course pop up with the CSCMail send dialog... anyway.. I got
too much free time on my hands...

Progress Bar reporting for MBOX type accounts now actually work ! and
accurately !!!! I am off to bed now !
* 20000314 Muhri
OK Important stuff ! cscget has been changed to acomodate mbox type
accounts, here is what you'll need to do before firing up cscmail or you
won't like what is going to happen, hehe !!!
Add a column to table accounts called "type"
alter table accounts add column type text;
Then insert your mbox type account in the account window just like any other
account :)
The only part you have to put is the spool dir, ie /var/spool/mail and it
will append your username automagically when it checks it. I would not have
made it without Steve's help! Thanks a lot !! he basically did all the dirty
work for me.. hehe!!! I feel like a little kid!
* 20000314 Muhri
Primitive printing support, right click -> print .. This will print the
message along with the headers .. be careful not to print a message
that has an attachement or you will print the attachement too .. this will be
improved later to where it filters out the attachements and gives an option
to print the headers or to print without the headers. Also the print command
is customizable from the options dialog, the default is lpr.
* 20000314 CZ
Added attachment support to Forward/Edit/Save Draft etc...
New option: Forward Attachments... if this is true, then if you forward
a message that has files attached, they will automagically get added to
the attachment list and if not deleted from there, will be sent out...
Reply's NEVER have attachments added to them. This is to cut down on
bandwidth wasteage. Edit will ALLWAYS keep the attachment. So...
Reply, no attachment. Forward, attachment based on preferences.
Edit, yes attachment. Pretty simple. Let me know if you disagree
with these options... of course, even with forward attachments and reply
not keeping them, a person could still "Edit" the message, and then send
out the attachment... In other words, these rules don't affect ability
to send attachments, just when they get sent without specific user
intervention. Oh, and Forward Attachments defaults to OFF... hehe
* 20000314 CZ
Added a drafts folder... and the ability to edit a message, as well as
"save in drafts" menu item in the compose message window. This requires
a minor adjustment to existing database files... You need to add a
"Drafts" folder... and it MUST have an ID of 5. So, what you need to do
is change the ID of any folder you currently have as ID 5 to the next
available ID. For example:
update boxlist set id = 39 where id = 5;
now you need to point whatever was pointing at 5 as a sibling, to the NEW
id... so:
update boxlist set sibling = 39 where sibling = 5;
Ok, now whatever used to be in parent 0 with a sibling of 65535 needs to
point it's sibling at our soon to be new Drafts folder (id 5) so...
update boxlist set sibling = 5 where ((sibling = 65535) and (parent = 0));
now we get to insert our new folder:
insert into boxlist (id, name, sibling, parent) values (5, 'Drafts', 65535, 0);
Fairly simple... hehe Let me know how you like it... some functionality issues:
You can right click on ANY MESSAGE in ANY folder, and choose EDIT. it will open
a message composition window, with that message loaded, and UNQUOTED. The to:
Cc: and Subj: will all stay the same (so if yer editing something someone sent to
YOU it will still be To: YOU. Any attachments WILL BE STRIPPED at this point.
in the future I will make this optional, and support "forwarding" and so on with
attachments... right now, they get stripped.
If you save a message to the drafts folder, it encodes it etc... (including
any attachments... this message is ready to send! .. but if you re-edit it
the attachments will be stripped... so .. just move / copy it to your outbox
if you want them left on... bet thats not what this is for anyway...
So you compose a message, but aren't done.. save it to drafts.. later, open
and finish/edit it.. then hit send.. it will be NUKED from drafts, and the NEW
version will be sent (with attachments if you have added any) The one that
gets nuked is GONE.. not in deleted items.. gone.. BUT the one that gets
sent is in Sent Items.. so hey... its all good.
Anyway.. have fun, and let me know if yer sniffer finds any garbage packets...!

Return-Receipt now honors default settings in the new great config-dialog.
Some cleanup in send_message and and the receipt dialog.

Ok, I am basically done with the help system now... fixed bugs
that kept images from working.. added a helpfile pre-processor.
The jist is this:
<--!version--> gets replaced with $version wherever it is found
in your html code... if you can think of anymore tags you would
want, let me know...
<a href="sub:init_config">Click here for config window</a>
will run the named sub when clicked... (in this case, &init_config.)
Share and enjoy!!!
* 20000311 CZ
More work on Help System... now we have Top Node and Prev node
buttons/menu items/ functionality
Other than makeing it a lil prettier (give me nice icons!!!)
Help is pretty much done... just make them html pages!!!
* 20000311 Flavio
Added a handler for incoming receipt request. Opens a dialog and asks
you to send one now, later or never. If you choose later, it will ask you
again, when you read it.
Added the Return-Receipt-To to outgoing requests too, as some mailers don't
react on Disposition-Notification-To.
* 20000311 CZ
Ok, beginnings of new help system... Docs go in $libdir/docs
Use HTML... images are ok... all links/refs should be relative
to $libdir/docs (ie: <a href="page3.html"> will get mapped
to $libdir/docs/page3.html automagically... and
<img src="/images/cscmail.jpg"> will get mapped to
$libdir/docs/images/cscmail.jpg automagically.
mailto: urls will of course pop up a new message window using
cscmail... As of now, no "External" links will work... maybe
next version... Keep it simple HTML wise because we don't "strip"
anything prior to passing to XmHTML or GtkHTML... I dunno what you
can't use, but just test everything before you commit....
If you wan't to add menu items to your widgets, the call is:
&help_view_win($widget, $node);
$widget gets ignored and $node == starting url relative to
$libdir/docs (ie: $node="index.html" will load
$libdir/docs/index.html)
Feel free to put new dirs under docs/ (ie: docs/addressbook
docs/gpg) and put your documentation files there...
* 20000311 CZ
Ok folks, we now support BOTH GtkXmHTML and the nice new GtkHTML widget
CSCMail will try to init GtkHTML first, and if that fails, it will
automagically roll back to old GtkXmHTML usage...
WARNING---- GtkXmHTML is DEPRECIATED. NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT WILL
BE DONE TO THIS WIDGET... Not by gnome developers, nor the author of
XmHTML... this is OLD unsupported code. The GtkHTML widget is the
shining star of the Gnome team... it works WELL.. it has nice features
it is where all future development is going.
CSCMail will continue to support BOTH widgets for a while... but
someday, we will drop XmHTML like a hot potatoe... (no offense Deb
users) ALSO... don't whine about things that work under GtkHTML but
don't work with XmHTML (text highlite, image dl'ing for remote url's)
too bad... if you want the nice features, then install GtkHTML and move
into the 21st Century... (not fox)
WARNING---- GtkHTML is UNDER DEVELOPMENT... CSCMail has been tested with
the latest CVS version and it works well.... if you are having problems
with GtkHTML, try updating from gnome-cvs...

Added Red's stuff to the no-modules spec too, a patch from Flavio for
Return Receipt and Priority mail. Please add a 'rreceiptto' field to your
messages table, e.g
ALTER TABLE messages add rreceiptto text;
This is done automatically for new users.

Added first set of routing for encryption. Now able to send encrypted
EMail if you have the modules installed. Two questions for the other
Developers:
1) Someone said earlier that you were putting in a function to open
a warning/error dialog window. What was that function?
2) Which of you should I speak to about getting the new modules
to work in the installation scripts and rpm's.
More follows tomorrow.

Well, Finally native MBOX support and no more requirement for movemail to
check your local spool, I had to roll out our own script though, just like
movemail, hehe! at least you don't have to use movemail now.

Forgot to do 1.5.9 version.. also ... &err_dialog("your error here");
will display an error dialog window.... have fun!
* 20000309 CZ
Address book stuff... ok.. Sorry qollin, but hey, at least you
were the inspiration for this total re-write of the addressbook
code... hehe
Ok, right click message, "add to addressbook" will put that
person in your addressbook if they do not already exist.
if you spawn an addressbook from the MAIN window, it will not
be tied to a specific message window, and if you rightclick
on it and choose "add to to" or "add to cc" it will spawn a
NEW message window and CLOSE itself.
If you spawn an addressbook from a Compose Message window, it
will be tied to THAT window... "add to to" and "add to cc" will
drop addresses in the "parent" message window... you CAN have multiple
address books/message windows open at one time... they will not get
confused, although YOU might!!! hehe
Autocomplete... in a Compose Message window, if you enter text in the
To: or CC: fields that isn't a valid e-mail address, when you leave
the field, it will do a addressbook lookup and replace the garbage
with the CLOSEST match... if it can find anything... if not, it will
leave it alone.. this will work for multiple fields , seperated..
ie: you type cou, muh into the To: field... it will look
up in yer addressbook and find Count Zero and Muhri and it will
fill them in for you... very badass if I do say so myself...
Fixed refresh_messages to correctly move the focus to
the currently selected row after a refresh.. (no more
losing your place just cause a mailrun was going on...)
New sub to handle things like the filter window, addressbook,
and account list window... Please use this for any other list
based windows as well...
&init_win($widget, "name");
This will create a "standard" list window widget thingie
(Consistancy is good...) just add cases for your "customizations"
Just look at the sub, you'll see how it's done...
This uses a few standard functions.. The clist will have all
the stubs for the new structure (below) the "delete" button (and
popup menu item) will call &delete_item ... just add a case for
"name" in delete item. The clist associated with this window will
have $clist->{'name'} = "name"
&clist_refresh, and &click_clist will be called to load and sort
the new list for you... Make sure you add the correct cases for
"name" to those routines.
More re-working of things... got rid of a few globals... structurized
all the clists that we use.... new clist structure is:
$clist->{'name'} = name of list (ie: message, filter, account, etc)
$clist->{'sortcol'} = what column to sort on
$clist->{'sortdir'} = what direction (ascending, descending)
@{$clist->{'labels'}} = array of the column labels
$clist->{'popup'} = Gtk::Menu if you assign this, your clist
gets a popup menu
The following subs are "clist" aware, use them with your clists...
&click_clist($clist, $event) Handles all right clicks and doubleclicks
&dblclick_clist($clist, $event) called by &click_clist to deal with
doubleclicks
&click_column($clist, $column) Handles clicks on the labels of clists
&clist_refresh($clist) Will fill your clist for you... must add
a case for $clist->{'name'}
Example of using these event handlers:
$clist->signal_connect('button_press_event', \&click_clist);
$clist->signal_connect('click_column', \&click_column);
Pretty simple. If you have setup your structure correctly, your
clist will automagically have sortable columns and rightclick
and doubleclick functionality. To force a sort on your list
"simulate" a click by calling
&click_column($clist, $clist->{'sortcol'});
AFTER you use the ->show method on your top-level container.
Only one other thing you will need to do for your custom clist
to have full functionality, is to add a case in &dblclick_clist
for your desired action... example:
} elsif ($flag eq "customclist") {
&my_event_handler($widget, $row);
}
$widget will be your clist, and $row will be the row clicked on.
"customclist" == $clist->{'name'}
Somebody STOP me.. I am going OO.... ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
* 20000308 CZ
At BigGuy's request, fixed delete/move code so it no longer
uses &refresh_messages() but instead deletes the row's inplace
and so that way, when you have a list of 20 msgs and you move or delete
the 15th one, your selection will stay right there... stead of going
back to the top of the list...
* 20000308 CZ
Yeah, I should just merge all these into one big comment for
todays activity, esp since it is only 5am of today... but here
goes... After thinking long and hard about it, I have removed the
UNIQUENESS of the msgid field... there was NO POINT to it. This is
a reversal of my earlier stance. But quite simply, all it did was
cause problems. We already generate our own unique ID's for
everything anyway. SO... more DB changes...
(example is for Postgres, surprise surprise...)
alter table messages add column newid text;
update messages set newid = msgid;
alter table messages rename column msgid to oldid;
alter table messages rename column newid to msgid;
drop index messages_msgid_key;
Why? well, now there no longer needs to be a check for dupe id's
when saving mail, just store the damn thing, let the user nuke it.
dupe ID's are more common than I used to think, as messages tend to
get cross-posted to multiple lists etc... and having dupes of a message
in the store is ok.. helps keep the thread alive if you can see the
message in both gtk-list and gtk-app-devel-list (the two where I see
the most cross-posts in my message store) Also, since we no longer
need autoincrement fields, lets kill them all.. I have done so where
I notice them... and the whole, "insert blah" "query for id" code...
use $newid = &newid() and save a query... I did that as often as I ran
across it.. but I prolly missed it in non messages table functions
In case you hadn't noticed, I am finally going around the code and
cleaning up a bunch of shit... and also, hate to say it, no bad
blood intended, but there was a lot of bullshit code introduced
by AI... so I am nuking most of his contributions. He had a thing
against nearly every change I made to CSCMail... oh well.. I wish
him luck with Mailisman. (you'll notice the UseTimers code is GONE
we use timers... no option.. no reason NOT to use em.. he just hated
them for some reason, which resulted in a broken hack to fix what
I had put the damn timers in in the first place for... anyway...)
I nuked a lot of prefs that we don't use... (FontMessages comes to
mind... we don't display in a text widget anymore, haven't forever)
Not to mention, that sort of thing should really be in cscmail.gtkrc
Oh yeah, I renamed $libdir/cscmailrc to $libdir/cscmail.gtkrc to
illiminate confusion with ~/.cscmailrc (Stupid of me to name it
$libdir/cscmailrc in the first place)
Muhri has mentioned that we are at the stage to look at
a release candidate for 1.6.x I am almost in agreance with this.
Couple of things I would like to see... Better Config dialog
cleaned up address book... (actually re-written addressbook)
No offense qollin.. you got the ball rolling, and 90% of your
code stays... but I am gonna re-arrange your widgets to make
it look like Mail->Filters and Mail->Accounts dialogs (consistancy
in UI...) Also, gonna get rid of multiple addresses per alias
because I plan on also implimenting auto completion... ie:
in To: dialog, you type in Muhri... when focus leaves the To:
widget, a quick db lookup checks and finds a regex match on muhri
and changes that to "Muhri" <muhri@muhri.net> or whatever is in
your addressbook. Already this is gonna be wrong a lot of times due
to multiple similar names, but at least it will guess right most
times too... but with multiple addresses per alias, it's just gonna
be wrong all the time. Gonna also get it where there is a tighter
link between the address book and the message_edit_window so that
if you have just the address book open, you can hit "add to to:"
and it will open a new message window... and if you have a compose
window open, and click it's address widget, you'll get an address
book that is bound to that widget... we already do this with the
filter and account editwindows... you can have multple instances
of these windows open and it all works correctly... if you wanna
make these changes, then look at the code for those widgets, as
that is where I see the address book heading...
Global Variables: I wanna kill em... that simple... I have
already started my man-hunt... you'll prolly
notice a bit of inconsistancy in my code...
Old code used globals, and not a lot references
or stuff like that... we pass around a whole bunch
of pieces of things right now... if you look at my
newer code, I am using more anon references, and
structures... (like the viewpane stuff is now)
look at the code for the view_message sub... that
is closer to the way I wanna re-work CSCMail
I started this project 6 months ago? and I have
learned a TON about programming since then.. both
in FORM and function (you'll see more comments these
days, thats for sure...) and I am starting to use
more "advanced" methods... anyway...
* 20000308 CZ
Stuff....
Fixed GLOB errors... (We no longer USE glob! hehe)
Fixed lil cyan pixel above trashcan...
Fixed "Double Click" crash bug... (Thanks Harald Wagener <hollow@tzi.de>
for the bug report on that one!)
Noticed lil bug that am not sure how to fix yet... (haven't looked at
code close enough...) filter for "Auto forwarding" e-mail is broken
I never use it anyway... but when I was looking at the friendly stuff
I noticed that when we modularized save_message and it's filter stuff,
that we don't pass the account info to correctly build a "header"
for the new outbound messsage. I was going to do a patch fix, but
thought better of it, since we now encode all our own mail and so forth
figure it might be a wise idea for whomever it was that wrote the new
attachment / cscsend code to look at that lil tidbit and maybe fix it
as an aside, this would have been caught earlier, if csclib.pl ran
under use Strict. Stuff to think about.
* 20000308 CZ
more DB changes: (examples for Postgrest, others: figure it out)
alter table messages add column replyf int4;
alter table messages add column friendly text;
RUN ./migration-scripts/setupfriendly.pl or DIE!
Why? nutshell:
replyf: we now track when you reply and/or forward a message
and then put a cute lil icon next to the "From" field
to remind you that you have replied to this message
friendly: I moved the process_from() function to csclib.pl and
moved the processing to save_message() Why? well,
every little bit helps. We used to run process_from()
on each message in a folder each time we viewed that
message. This was a big waste of time.. just run it
once, store the "friendly" name in the db, and just
query that when we wanted to display stuff... much
nicer...
* 20000307 Muhri
Fixed the problem with cscget always checking local mail even if its
unchecked as an option.
* 20000307 CZ
At Muhri's suggestion I re-worked the view_message code to also
be a general purpose view_header routine.. then I re-worked the
"view_message_window" to be a general purpose "view message info"
window... then I added a "view header" option to the variouse mail
menus. So now you can view a nice HTML formatted hyperlinked
message header anytime you like...
* 20000307 Muhri
New Option for Wrap after how many columns, also cleaned up some uneeded
code.
* 20000307 Muhri
Mail - > Export, will export ALL (to be changed soon) and I repeat ALL
your messages to a file of your choice to MBOX format, I'll work on
keeping this as an option ie, Mail --> export
export all
where you can choose to export selected or all the messages.
* 20000307 CZ
Ok, this is gonna be complicated... I have implimented drag-n-drop
reorderable folder tree .... requires some changes to existing
databases... (Doncha just LOVE that!!!!)
here goes it:
rename the column sorder to sibling... in Postgres the following
command will do the trick:
alter table boxlist RENAME COLUMN sorder to sibling;
now, here comes the tricky part... you need to go through
and change stuff... basically, parent stays the same,
it contains the boxlist->id of the parent of the current folder
or -1 if it is "Folders"
sibling: for "Folders" it needs to be 65535
update boxlist set sibling = 65535 where id = 0;
for everyone ELSE... sibling == the boxlist->id of the folder
directly BENEATH it in the folder list. IF the folder is the LAST
item and NOTHING is beneath it (under THIS parent) THEN sibling ==
65535.
Example:
id|name |sibling|parent
--+------------------+-------+------
0|Folders | 65535| -1 Folders
1|Inbox | 2| 0 |-Inbox
2|Outbox | 3| 0 | |-SubFolder
3|Sent Items | 4| 0 | +-SubFolder2
4|Deleted Items | 5| 0 |-Outbox
5|Enlightenment | 16| 0 |-Sent Items
16|News | 7| 0 |-Deleted Items
7|BugTraq | 65535| 0 |-Enlightenment
13|SubFolder | 14| 1 |-News
14|SubFolder2 | 65535| 1 +-Bugtraq
Ok, from this you can see that the LAST folder of a given level
of the tree has it's sibling set to 65535. Now, you may wonder
about that.. basically, I figured that anyone with 65535 folders
at a given branch of the tree was far beyond our capability to help
and they could just die. The other folders all form a chain of sorts
ie: the sibling is a flag that points to the folder BELOW this one...
Its a wierd way to do it, but thats how Gtk::CTree's work... blame
them, not me
If you've set up the new table correctly, then when you first
run CSCMail, your folders should look like you want... IF they DON'T
never fear. You should be able to cheat by just re-ording them with
your mouse. It WILL SAVE the changes to the DB, and should allow you
to visibly fix any mistakes you make while re-ordering.
YES, new installs will have everything set correctly to start with
ONLY the upgraders get torture. <grin>
I looked at implimenting drag-n-drop message sorting too (ie:
dragging a selection of messages from the left and dropping them
on a folder to "move" them into that folder.) I actually know how
to do this. BUT it breaks the folder sorting.. I take advantage of
the builtin "reorderable" flag on the CTree to handle the drag-n-drop
aspects of the CTree, and just watch the "moved" signal and update the
db to match the new folder layout. IF I enable the CTree as a drag
target, it OVERRIDES the "reorderable" aspects of the CTree, and we
would have to manually code the drag-n-drop routines for reordering
folders. It is 6am, I don't feal like screwing with that right now.
and maybe not ever... Gtk maintainers should have thought of this...
I think reorderable is most likely a hack... anyway... disregard the
spurious "drag into" "drag after" etc messages, as those ARE spurious
debugging messages left in the Gtk::CTree code (the C libs, not the
Gtk::Perl modules even. I checked the source... look at gtkctree.c)
FUN FUN FUN

New Feature, Mail -> Import. It will import any MBOX style file into
CSCMail's DB, the best part is your filters will be applied during the
import :-). Some other fixes, also I did not mention that anybody using CVS
should get MIME::Types for the outbound attachments to work.
* 20000305 Muhri
Another patch from Flavio <fcu@no-way.org> outbound attachements work :)
More config stuff... up a version 1.5.6
* 20000305 Muhri
Applied patch from Flavio Curti <fcu@no-way.org> that enables viewing the
headers at the bottom of each message and use of fixed fonts in the xmhtml
view pane. Disabled by default, can be enabled in the options menu. Also,
I added a couple of options regarding local mail checking, I intend to add
more, basically, it'll be a front end to .cscmailrc .. Updated the Makefile
with newer versions of Date::Manip & HTML::Parser.
* 20000302 Muhri
Applied a patch from Ron Lockard <ron@lockard.org> for reply-all feature,
also removed the stripping from reply and reply-all to include "foo"
<foo@bar.com> when replying ... please report problems if enountered...
* 20000219 Red
Changed all prints to wr_debug's (Obviously those going to STDOUT)
* 20000219 Red
date: 2000/02/20 08:38:05; author: noidd; state: Exp; lines: +11 -4
Cleaned up the debug code. You can now choose debug to stdout, file or both.
Think binary:
0 - no debug
1 - STDOUT
2 - File
(So obviously, 3 - both)
* 20000218 CZ 1.5.2 CVS
Attachments work even better now... Flattening of nested Multipart
messages, reply/forward functionality fixed... Reply/Forward now
only quotes the first text/plain part found... no more spam in the
reply. Now all we need is a stupid paperclip, and a save->Attachment
menu (that works) and we are done with attachments...
* 20000217 CZ
yeah, attachments... good fun! ok.. when you click on msg, right now
cscmail runs it through mime::parser and lets that dump the parts into
~/.cscmail/tmp then we run through the parts and find the one we wanna
view... text/html first priority, then text/plain (first one found)
Same as before.. but now.. any OTHER parts will be left hangin out in
~/.cscmail/tmp (until you click on another msg... then cleanup nukes
em...) Also at this stage we have an array of @parts each of which is
a MIME::Entity that contains the filename and so forth...
TODO: run through and make a lil menu listing the parts, attach that
to File->Save_Attachments and bring up a file selection dialog
to move the part from ~/.cscmail/tmp to wherever...
Add a field to the messages table "attachment <bool>"
somehow figure out how to decide if a msg HAS an attachment
and set the flag... then we can show a lil paperclip or whatever
in the message_clist for msgs with attachments...
Just cause a message is multipart does NOT mean it has an
attachment.. (ie: could be multipart/alternative...)
prolly just set it for anything that is multipart/mixed ... ?
thoughts???
* 20000217 Muhri
OK, This is a bit compliacted for people using cvs... You will have to run
the combine.sh in the migration-scripts dir .. then go in ~/.cscmail and
create a tmp dir and a sig dir .. move all your sigs into the sig dir ..
install MIME::Parser and then you should be good to go.. MIME::Paraser is
included in the MIME::Tools package .. which requires the etc.. package..
you know the deal :)
All your attachements will be decoded and dumped in ~/.cscmail/tmp for now..
Until count commits the rest of the work :)
* 20000211 Muhri
A script mkaddbtable.pl that creates addressbook table for mysql/pgsql users
CSV users don't need it. Also, I have put in a request for new icons from
a friend of mine, I might be commiting those later on today. off to work on
more stuff :)

Rollback to 1.4.1
* 20000127 ai
- ui rewritten to be completely object-oriented (all under CSC::UI::). our objects aggregate gtk widgets rather than inheriting from them.
- reusable FolderTree, FolderMenu, MessageList, DispayMessage, ComposeMessage. each of these has:
- get_widget() which returns the top-level gtk component to be used to add() to other gtk components, etc
- refresh() which re-reads the data and rebuilds the ui
- refresh_all() to cause a refresh on all instances of this type of object
- connect_signal() to set up handlers (for now, only handler is for 'selected')
- single-instance FolderEdit, FilterEdit, AccountEdit, About, Prefs. each of these has one method:
- show() which displays the one instance (single-instance not yet enforced here)
- most event handlers are anonymous subs now. this allows them to take whatever arguments they get passed and then call some other sub(s) to do the real work
- refreshes work again (exception: creating/deleting folders won't refresh the folder menus, because i don't know how to delete items from the menus - anyone?)
Why is the new code slower? (Yes, you naysayers, OO is slower, happy now?) In the old code, every event handler manipulated the guts of all the gui directly, and most of the time adjusted it to match, rather than re-creating it. This is obviously very fast but results in complex code where everything depends on and interacts with everything else. The main goal of the object-oriented reorg was to reduce dependencies to a point where multiple instancs of some things can exist. That means that event handlers attached to other things cannot manipulate then directly, because they don't even know how many instances exist (if any). Now the event handler just says "something changed" and the ui class refreshes all instances of itself. All the ui components are always rebuilt completely for each refresh.
What is the benefit? Simpler, more readable code, and reusable components. I had a lot of ideas about what could be done with these components while working on this - more on that soon.
Is this too slow? I don't know because I haven't stress-tested it yet. Before, most of the time was spend doing db queries. It is true that the new code does more db queries, possibly even 2x more. It also does a lot more screen/component redraws. However, that may not be a problem, and if it isn't, we should just leave it as it is, even though we know how to make it faster. The sensible way to deal with optimisation for speed is:
- we set a standard we want to meet (e.g. in cscmail with 5 folders with 200 msgs each, no gui operation should take longer than 200 ms on a pII/400 using mysql - suggestions?)
- we benchmark to see if we meet this standard
- if not, we profile and pick one hotspot
- optimise, if at all possible without introducing any new interdependencies
- benchmark again, if the improvement is not substantial, undo the optimisation
How can the new code be optimized?
- profile it! (use Devel::DProf)
- easiest way: add a "hint" to the refresh_all that says a little about what has changed - e.g. messages_moved, messages_changed, folders_moved, etc. some objects will want to ignore some types of changes.
- cache some db query results so that they can be quickly compared to a new query
- delay some slow operations so that they don't need to happen before a redraw and make sure that multiple quickly issued requests of this type result in a single delayed operation
- remove database fields that are not used at present, add indices on everything for which we have a select by.
* 20000122 CZ
- Check the cvs log... I don't feel like logging things twice...
Lord knows I am already acting out of character by COMMENTING
my code (the world is going to end, I know it) and by trying to
convert CSCMail to a more *shudder* Object Oriented approach.
Let the record show that I fully blame _ai_ for this, it is all
his fault.
* 20000122 ai
- major reorg of the ui code, not yet complete
- code was split according to interaction (i.e. parts that don't interact much are in separate files)
- the big chunks are: the main window, the message list, the folder editing and menus, the account editing, the filter editing, the message display, the message composition
- some parts are essentially single-instance and there is not much reason to reuse them - these parts will be pseudo-object-oriented: they will be moved to packages with (ideally) only a single entry point: the main window, the folder editing, the account editing, the filter editing.
- all globals from these parts of the code will become private package globals
- the remaining parts can be used in many different, interesting ways, and will be made fully object-oriented: the message list, the message display, the message composition (and to some extent the folder menus and the individual filter creation dialog)
- gui parts that will be fully object-oriented will not inherit from and Gtk GUI classes, but will aggregate them instead (i.e. they will keep around a hash of all widgets they contain). all globals will become instance variables. there will be a universal way to obtain a GUI component for one of these via get_widget() or a window via get_window()
* 20000115 ai
- fix to multiple select, now it works ok
- major changes to rpm specs and makefile
- cscmail-full becomes cscmail; cscmail becomes cscmail-nomodules
- now make rpm or make rpm-nomodules will be completely automatic
- mail the list with any problems if you try to make rpms and it fails - i'll be running a build every other night
- additions to installation instructions
* 20000114 ai
- turned off homegrown mime multipart parsing - use a module dammit!
CZ: NO... I have looked at the mime modules and they all suck...
CZ: the homegrown shit works, why fuck with it?
CZ: now, since you turned it off, I can't read a lot of my
CZ: mail... this pissed me off... I spent hours writing that
CZ: code, and many more hours (days actually) looking at the modules
CZ: you have no right to do this without discussion of some sort...
CZ: I understand that I have been incommunicado for the last week
CZ: but I was the only person in the channel over the holidays,
CZ: everyone else was gone... and I do check my e-mail... (every day)
CZ: anyway... this is why I setup the mailing list etc... so we could
CZ: DISCUSS shit like this...
- made view_msg/mark_as_read timers an option, off by default
- mark as read now happens *after* the msg has displayed anyway
- a better way to do this would be to turn some events off for a short time after some operations such as select all, rather than delay before handling each event
- timers are not thread-safe unless the only set variables that are polled (i managed to produce a deadlock with timers and db queries)
CZ: Ok, so what happens when I shift-click a bunch of msgs? major
CZ: slowdown... my way may not have been the "best" way, but it worked
CZ: don't just turn shit off please...
- added &read_message_body($msgid)
- switched to POP3Client
- it actually works
CZ: No it doesn't.... (and are you implying that the pop3 code
CZ: I put in DOESN'T work????)
CZ: why do you think I switched away from it in the first place?
CZ: I used to use pop3client, till I found an RFC compliant server
CZ: that pop3client broke on... my code was/is RFC compliant...
- it does APOP (needs to be added to the account config window as an option) - requires db change in accounts
- it does uidl wich will eventually allow really fast mail checks even with a lot of mail on the server (i.e. about 200 msgs/sec for msgs that have been read already) - requires db change in messages
- unhappy about everything-is-html - working on making it an option, but not quite there yet
CZ: and how do you propose to enable clickable links in text messages?
- how can one select and copy text from an html message?
CZ: good point... I hope the gtkxmhtml (or gtkhtml... see below)
| authors will take this into account and fix it... once again
| not our fault, since we rely on MODULES instead of rolling our
| own... (See why I hate modules? you have to rely on a third
| party to fix shit... in the case of GTK, we don't have a choice
| really, I am not about to develop a widget set... but for
| everything else, I am as anti-module as a person can be... all
| modules do is complicate the installation process, and add
| dependancies on things that are outside of our control. Plus they
CZ: bloat the program...)
- it *still* cores on some messages
CZ: yes, but only on SOME html-mail messages, not on any text/plain
converted to HTML messages... and that is not our fault, but
the fault of gtkxmhtml (which btw is being phased out in favor
of gtkhtml, we need to switch)

v1.4.1 (01-17-00)
-----
* cscget now encapsulates the Status dialog inside of itself.
no more passing status samaphore files between cscget and cscmail
big performance increase, more informative status display.
* cscmail now correctly checks all parts of a multipart
message for text/plain and text/html parts. Before it would
skip a part if that part didn't specifically define a
Content-XFer-Encoding: flag. (BIG BUG)
* cscget now checks for a running instance of itself, and will not
spawn a second instance.
* cscget now correctly unfolds message headers.
* cscmail will no longer do Re: Re: Re: on replies... only one
level of Re: or Fw:
* cscmail now allows blank subjects to be sent.
* If you are upgrading from 1.3.5, please run the 13to14.pl script
in the migration-scripts dir.
v1.4 (01-16-00)
-----
* MoveMail. After checking all pop3 accounts, it also runs movemail
and brings in any messages in your local mail spool.
* Mime support. multipart/ messages are now split. CSCMail will
display a text/html part if present. If not, it will fall back to a
text/plain part. If neither are present, it displays nothing.
Parts are correctly decoded (base64, or quoted-printable)
* Active hyperlinks. text/plain messages are parsed for things that
look like urls. Anything that starts http:// or ftp:// or mailto:
or conforms to foo@something.bar will be turned into the appropriate
hyperlink. All mail is now displayed with the html widget.
Clicking on a hyperlink will either load it in Netscape, or popup
a new message window (for mailto links)
* Hierarchical folders.
* Makefile with more-or-less automatic install of all required modules
* Builtin database: using module DBD::CSV from CPAN, you don't need Postgress or MySQL (unless you have way too much mail ;) CSV is the new default, although it may have a few bugs -ai
* HTML email works. You can't see images yet. It may still be unstable.
* HTML filtering. HTML email displays only the tags you allow and kills all other tags.
* More preferences for fonts and colors, etc.
* IMPORTANT!!!!! if you are upgrading from v1.3.5 or earlier, you
MUST connect to your database and ALTER TABLE boxlist ... add a
parent int4 field. For PostgreSQL the syntax is:
ALTER TABLE boxlist ADD COLUMN parent int4;
v1.3.5 10-03-1999
------
* Save Message now works. This allows you to save a message out
to any directory, so you can print/mime-decode/uu-decode or whatever.
* Filters. Finally, Mail->Filters... actually works.
Here is the long and short of it... Pick a name (unique) to
describe the filter, choose what "action" to take:
Inactive: This filter is inactive, do nothing.
Account Based: Do something to all msgs retrieved from a specific
account.
To/Cc Based: Do something to all msgs retrieved based on the
contents of the To or Cc fields
Subject Based: Do something to all msgs retrieved based on the
contents of the Subject: field
From Based: Do something to all msgs retrieved based on the
contents of the From: field
Generic: Parse through the ENTIRE RAW HEADER for your
regular expression, and perform an action
based on the results. (The most powerful,
and trickiest, method)
Folder to Move to: This is a little misleading, as it controls
the ACTION type. For example, if you choose
the Deleted Items folder, then you are
choosing to "delete" mail based on your criteria.
If you choose the "Outbox" then you are choosing to
forward messages based on your criteria.
Be ADVISED, forwarded messages will be placed
in the SENT ITEMS folder (just like any other sent
message.)
Regex: This is a dual purpose field, if you choose the Account
method of sorting, then this will change to a drop down
list of all your accounts, so you can choose which one
to filter by. Otherwise, this is where you type in your
match. This is a TRUE perl regular expression. All the
regex rules apply. In my code it is wrapped in a simple
/ / So it IS case sensitive. Use normal regex rules and
remember the case sensitivity issues, and you should be able
to filter your mail based on the most conviluted methods
devisable by man.
Addr: This field only appears if you choose the "Outbox" as the
target for your filter. This is the address you wish to
forward the e-mail to.
The filters table in the database has changed format. If you
are upgrading from 1.3.4 or earlier, you must run the filter.pl
script to re-create the filters table.
* Noidd has joined the development team. So far he has contributed
a patch to sort the .msg and .hdr files into numbered directories.
This is necissary due to filesystem limitations. Basically it's like
this: You can have no more than 10,000 or so files in a single
directory. I am currently storing 2 files for each message (a header
file containing the raw header for the message, and a message file
containing the body of the message.) So, if you have 5000 messages in
your client (not in a single "folder" but total) you will start having
problems. I was going to initially just split the .msg and .hdr
files into their own directories, but that still gives about a 10,000
msg limit, and some ppl (myself included) would hit that within a
month or so. Noidd had the idea of moving messages into numbered
directories based on the last number of the message id. This would
give you 0 - 9 directories, capable of holding a /msg and /hdr dir.
This would allow the client to store up to 100,000 messages. Not
being satisfied at 100,000, Noidd took it even one step further,
sorting on the second-to-last digit as well, and creating dirs
0-9 inside the higher level dirs. This allows CSCMail to store
around 1,000,000 messages in its folder structure. (The exact number
will vary depending on your filesystem limitations)
UPGRADERS: You MUST run the migrate utility to migrate your
message store to the new format.
* Fixed some bugs in the .sig support. Now .sig's are fully
implimented.
* Fixed MAJOR speed problem with the way I was updating the message
and new counts that get displayed next to the folder names.
v1.3.4 09-30-1999
------
* IMPORTANT!!!!! if you are upgrading from v1.3.3 or earlier, you
MUST connect to your database and ALTER TABLE accounts ... add a
pport int4 field. For PostgreSQL the syntax is:
ALTER TABLE accounts ADD COLUMN pport int4;
* CSCMail no longer relies on the Mail::POP3Client module. I just
use IO::Socket and do all POP3 stuff manually. Turns out
Mail::POP3Client is broken with some servers (and it shouldn't be
since the servers it broke on were sending out strict RFC 1725
compliant replies) It was broken because it didn't relie on
STAT to give it a message count. It instead looked to the
comment field of the "+OK user logged in, x new messages" stuff
that SOME pop servers send out after authentication. This is not
RFC 1725 compliant. ALWAYS USE STAT (if you are writing POP3
clients) and the world will be a better place.
* Added SIG support. You can now have a different sig for each
account. If there is any text in the "signature" window, it
will append it to the bottom of all outbound messages
sent from that account.
* You need to go into Mail->Accounts, and specify a POP3 port
for each account (it defaults to 110, but you still need to
go edit each account and re-save it) (only UPGRADES need to
do this)
* Added a (pport int4) field to the accounts table, please use
the ALTER TABLE syntax for your chosen DB platform. (new users
do not need to do this, only ppl who upgrade)
* Fixed(?) bug in mySQL table creation sequence that kept the tables
from being created.
* Fixed bug(?) in SQL queries that used an ORDER BY parameter that
sorted on a column not included in the SELECT. Some DBD's choked
on this (Postgres .73 was one... I use .92 which doesn't seem to mind)
* The message CList is now color coded. Read messages will show up
black text on a white background. Un-Read messages will be blue
on a white background.
v1.3.3 09-27-1999
------
* Fixed nasty bug that stopped all outbound mail... Turns out
that DBI automagically runs quotemeta on all parameters. I had
been explicitly running quotemeta an all database bound data
since that was required under Postgres.pm
This caused all data sent to the database to be "double-quoted"
this is very bad. Outbound mail ended up being addressed to
things like user\@domain\.com Of course this never got anywhere.
This is now fixed... Please download this new version and accept
my appologies for this nasty little bug.
v1.3.2 09-27-1999
------
* Migrated to DBI for the database interface. CSCMail will now
list the available database drivers on your system the first
time you run it, and ask for you to select which database to
use. It currently can automatically create the tables for you
if you use Postgres or mySQL. All of the queries are simple select
and update queries, so it should be compatible with ANY margionally
SQL compliant database. If you don't use either of these two DB
backends, please contact me so I can include support for your
database. If your database supports auto_increment and unique
fields in the same manner as mysql, you can probably figure out
how to create the tables by looking at lines 281 through 330
as examples. Please contact me if you use CSCMail with any
database besides Postgres or mysql so I can code in support.
* Fixed a few bugs, the drop down account listing in the compose
message window was broken, and replies where not automatically
setting the default account correctly.
v1.3.1 09-26-1999
------
* Bug fix in new database creation script. If you upgraded from 1.x
you do not need this version as it only effects NEW installations.
Thanks to Dermot Musgrove <dermot@glade.perl.connectfree.co.uk> for
reporting this bug.
* Going to linux kernel style versioning from now on. All future
beta releases will be designated as part of the 1.3.x series.
Once I am happy with the feature set and stability, I will roll
over to a 1.4.0 "stable" version, and begin development on a 1.5.x
series. (ie: odd minor numbers indicate beta, even minor numbers
indicate stable)
v1.3b 09-26-1999
-----
* Side note/Feature. The cscget and cscsend programs can be run in
a standalone manner. They do not require the main cscmail program
be running for them to do their jobs. The upside of this is that you
can schedule a cron job to run cscget at whatever increments you like
(freeing up the resources that cscmail would be using) and then only
run cscmail when you actually want to read the messages. The same
goes for cscsend. When run it will automatically send any messages
in your outbox. The main use I can see for this feature is for people
with dialup connections, you could add cscsend and cscget into your
ifup ppp0 script to automatically send and recieve mail whenever you
connect to the internet. The only limitation on this practice is that
cscget and cscsend will NOT function if you have NEVER run the main
cscmail program. You must run cscmail one time to set-up the database
and your accounts. Anyway, I think people may get some use out of
running cscget as a cronjob so they don't have to keep cscmail running
minimized all day to check e-mail regularly.
* Numerous BUG fixes, including the cscget bug where when run as a timed
process it wouldn't actually get any mail.
* Added a "New Messages" counter. This will show the number of NEW
unread messages in a folder. Once you click on a message to view
it, it gets marked as read, and the counter will update. Note that
selecting a RANGE of messages does NOT automatically mark all selected
messages as read. Only the actual messages that you CLICK on get
marked read.
* If you are UPGRADING from v1.2b or LOWER, you MUST run the dbmigrate
script bundled with the v1.3 distribution. The CSCMail database
format has CHANGED. Or, optionally, if you have no messages that
you need to save, you can (as the postgres administrator user)
perform the following steps:
su postgres <- become postgres admin
destroydb <username> <- delete old database
createdb <username> <- create new EMPTY database
exit <- return to regularly scheduled program
When you execute CSCMail, if it cannot find the database tables,
it will create new ones in the proper format. Again, new users
do not need to worry about this at all, but anyone who is UPGRADING
will need to EITHER run dbmigrate (if you want to SAVE your mail)
OR do the above steps (which will DELETE all MAIL)
* Upgraded my gtk-engines to v0.7 Several users have reported that
CSCMail does not correctly display Gtk-Themes that use gtk-engines,
specifically pixmap based themes. I was not using gtk-engines and
therefore had no experiance with this. I downloaded and installed
gtk-engines 0.5 and was able to duplicate the bug. After some digging
I found a gtk-engines v0.7 Upgrading to this solves the problem, so
I highly recommend anyone using gtk-engines download the new version.
It is available from:
ftp://ftp.snoopy.net/pub/mirrors/GNOME/sources/gtk-engines/
* Added an Options dialog for editing the AutoCheck mail timer, and
the SendImmediately flag.
* Nearly complete redesign of the way CSCMail stores messages. Removed
dependancy on Large Objects, and moved the actual body of the message
out to a file in ~/.cscmail
This is for several reasons. One, Postgres seems to get a bit
unstable when a lot of large object items are in the database.
Two, Postgres gets slower (with reason, it has to index the
large objects, and they also take up space and memory.) Three,
not all SQL backends support the large object interface, and even
if they do, they for sure don't have a "standardized" way of accessing
large objects. My ultimate goal for CSCMail is for it to be database
independant (I plan on going to a DBI interface VERY soon, and at
least supporting mySQL) With all of these things in mind, I moved
the messages themselves out of the database. Now the database just
stores the header information, folder information, and a message id
that corresponds to a filename in ~/.cscmail. This should make
everything faster, and more stable. (Not to mention less dependant
on Postgres.
* Fixed quotemeta bug in cscget that would drop inbound mail that had
a ' in any of the fields (like the subject or address) These messages
were lost, so if you have been missing some mail, sorry about that.
The good news is, I already had a "sanity" check in place. If you
look in ~/cscmail.log you will see the HEADERS of any messages that
got dropped. The body is not there, but the header is, so you can
contact the sender and ask them to resend. This sanity check remains
so if you encounter lost mail after upgrading to this new version,
please send me a copy of the cscmail.log file, so I can determine
what caused the failure.
* Found a bug/feature that I am not sure I want to fix. Basically,
CSCMail uses the smtp server assigned Message-ID: field to uniquely
identify each message that it handles. The bug/feature comes into
play when someone sends you a message with your name in both the To:
and CC: fields or sends a message To: you and one of your Aliases, or
Other e-mail addresses (that you happen to ALSO check with CSCMail.)
What will happen is that you will only actually recieve ONE copy of
said message. Personally I like this. I hate it when someone sends
the same message to two or more of my many e-mail accounts, and then
I get to see it a bunch of times. This of course only applies if the
UNIQUE message id is the same (ie: ONLY if they CC or BCC or put your
addresses in the TO line multiple times.) I can fix this very easily
by appending a local timestamp to the end of the message id,
therefor guaranteeing that each message downloaded has a unique ID.
I still can't see why anyone would want to get multiple copies, but if
enough people cry about this, I will fix it. I will more than likely
just make this a configurable option, as I personally like the no-dupe
method.
v1.2b 09-22-1999
-----
* Outbox works now. If you send a message it will be placed into the
outbox untill the next scheduled mail delivery.
* Added timed message transfers. CSC Mail will now do a mail send and
recieve at a specified intravel. The program defaults to 10 min.
but this is configurable via the ~/.cscmailrc file.
* Added a "Send Immediately" flag, for people who want outbound
messages to be sent as soon as the send button is pressed, as
opposed to transferring them in a batch.
* Added a ~/.cscmailrc file to control a few new features.
Currently only two flags are checked (comments are IGNORED)
The two flags are:
AutoCheck Timeout:
This controls how often CSCMail will do a message transfer
batch. Set to 0 to disable automatic batches.
SendImmediately:
This controls whether CSCMail sends outgoing messages as
soon as you hit the send button, or if they are placed
into the Outbox untill the next batch. (a Y here will
set them to send at once, a N will wait for batches.)
* Numerous bug fixes, including a nearly complete re-write of
the window <-> window communication routines. Things are
much more sane now. Before, you couldn't have multiple windows
of the same kind open (ie: two Compose Message windows, etc)
without causing a crash. Now you can open as many Compose
Message, or Edit Account, or Add Folder windows as you like,
and all will be handled correctly. Inter-window dependancies
have been removed as well. In other words, if you click
Mail-> Accounts... and then click "New" or "Edit" and then
CLOSE the "Accounts" window, the child windows (New or Edit)
will STILL work, and do their jobs. (this type of action
caused a crash in v1.1b and earlier.)
* Moved outbound mail transfer to a child process. This allows
you to continue working in CSCMail while your outbound messages
are transmitting.
* Added an "intelligent" refresh timer. If any of the child
processes have added new items to folders, the main window
will now refresh the folder list and message list in a
real time manner. (You can now watch the number of msgs in
the Inbox go up as you download your e-mail! hehe)
* Depreciated the config table from the database. I am going to
use a .cscmailrc file instead. You can feel free to drop
the table if you wish. A script called "dropconfig" is included
in the distribution directory to do this for you. (If 1.2b
is your first time installing CSCMail, you will not need to use
this script, as the config table will not be created for you)
* All in all this is a much tighter release, and should be more
stable.
v1.1b 09-20-1999
-----
* Sent Items folder actually works now. If you send a message it will
be put into your sent items folder, and when you go to view messages
in the sent items folder it changes the columns to show To: instead of
From: field
* Fixed "bug" where when you deleted a folder, it didn't remove it from
the Copy... and Move... menus until CSC Mail was restarted. (this
wasn't a bug so much as I just didn't know how to remove menu items.)
Fixed same issue with the Check Account... menu as well (if you
deleted an account, it would still have been on the menu till a
restart of CSC Mail)
* Fixed a bug where if you deleted a folder, you couldn't create
a new folder with the same name until you restarted CSC Mail.
* Did some hash table cleanup functions that will free elements of
some internal hashes when you delete items.
* Added Context sensitive popup menu to the Message List window.
You can now right click anywhere in the Message list and get a
menu that allows you to copy, move, and delete messages, as well
as reply, forward and send new messages.
* Fixed a bug where if your pop3 server doesn't resolve, the getmail
process bombs and leaves a zombie, and any accounts listed after
that would not get checked. Now it just skips checking that
account for that session.
* Fixed a similar bug where if your smtp server doesn't resolve, the
whole program would crash without so much as an error. Now it just
aborts the sending of that message. (The send window closes and no
action gets taken.)
