./mail/exmh, X11/TK based mail reader front end to MH

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.9.0, Package name: exmh-2.9.0, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Exmh is a TCL/TK based interface to the MH (a.k.a. nmh) mail system.
Exmh provides a graphical frontend to most MH features, including
reading, deleting, and refiling messages. In addition, the interface
handles arbitrary nesting of your folder hierarchy. Its extensibility
allows Exmh to interoperate with PGP, Glimpse, ispell, faces/picons,
MIME, and much more.


Required to run:
[mail/nmh] [mail/metamail] [x11/tk]

  Use version.bash rather than version.csh - who still uses csh for
  shell scripting?

  Tk/Tcl 8.5 is now a decade old.  Heave all pre-8.5 support code
  over the side.

  to the pick dialog.

cvs repository 21/5/2012 [email protected]
  fixed receipt.tcl so that content-disposition-notifications
  work with nmh 1.5.

cvs repository 8/5/2012 [email protected]
  applied patches by tom lane and kevin cosgrove:
  improved handling of xhost issues, more robust pgp message parsing

cvs repository 04/24/2012 [email protected]
  Fix the 'lassign' issue more correctly - Brent Welch suggested
  how to define one on the fly for pre-tcl8.5.  So we bite the bullet
  and actually use the 8.5 calling sequence.
  main.tcl, html.tcl, html_formtag.tcl, html_get_http.tcl,
  html_links.tcl, msgShow.tcl

cvs repository 04/22/2012 [email protected]
  added two patches from debian:
  . make audit logging a configurable option
  . ensure that $HOSTNAME is set in exmhwrapper

  Added darwin to ps.tcl "SYS V like systems case
  Added jpilot scripts to misc, contributed by [email protected]
  Added Tar.exclude files used for generating tarball releases
  Fixed MH references in index.html and software.html

  Added misc/sequence.patch that reflects my local changes to how
  sequence information is updated in the UI.  This is a non-trivial
  change, and while it is faster, I think there are some lingering
  corner cases where it isn't perfect.  So, I'm just saving the patch
  and not committing the change to the code.

cvs repository 01/23/2012 [email protected]
  repaired gnupg cipher option handling

cvs repository az az 01/20/2012 [email protected]
  repaired date/time parsing in addr.tcl, which kept
  address db expiration from working properly

  lib/pgpMail.tcl - add code to trim trailing blanks before
  doing PGP signing/encrypting.

cvs repository 04/24/2011 [email protected]
  consolidated spell checking options: main on sedit pref page,
  i-spell specific stuff on its own page. i-spell now an explicit
  choice among spelling programs. updated all related preference
  doc strings.
  updated app defaults to include i-spell whole buffer in the more...
  menu. updated i-spell sedit hook to enable/disable ispell or i-spell
  depending on spell checker choice.
  fixed exmh-async integration of custom spell checker: now in line with
  ispell.

  mime.tcl: fixed  documentation of behaviour of mimeFullHeaders
  exmh.MASTER: fixed tk8.5 font issue. default choice 'fixed' misinterpreted
  by tk8.5 as a font face, not XLFD...now fixed defined as alias for
  TkFixedFont, and aliases are consulted first. still somebody will have to
  extend the font chooser dialog to cover font faces.

cvs repository 09/02/2010 [email protected]
  lib/msgShow.tcl: applied Harvey Eneman's patch that fixes handling
  of rfc2369 list-* headers.

  Finally found the cause of the exmh Log window breaking - we
  carry our own lassign that had the parameters in opposite order
  to what base 8.5 code expects, specifically breaking 'clock format'
  and who knows what else. So rename our lassign to exmh_lassign.

  out in 1993.  Is our core code *really* that old? :)

    names on its command line instead of running the filter once on each
    message as standard input.  We know this works for spamassassin,
    but not sure about the other filters.

cvs repository 4/4/2005 [email protected]
  lib/fileselect.tcl: made use of the built-in tk file dialogs optional.
    The setting is under the "FS Box" preferences panel.

  new source file w/o erasing what's in the command line.

cvs repository 3/1/2005 [email protected]
  lib/flist.tcl: Run FlistUnseenFoldersInit in the foreground so that
