[9fans] upas/fs still modifying gmail inbox after window closed
in plan 9: using upas/fs, i mounted my gmail inbox over imap, then started acme. at some point, the acme window disappeared. newly received messages in my gmail inbox continue to get marked as read shortly after they arrive. my assumption is that upas/fs is still accessing the mailbox. how can i prove (or disprove) this, and stop it from happening? -sl

Re: [9fans] upas/fs
by the way, does anyone know the rational for the date on the unix From line? upas sets it to the date the message is originally delivered to the inbox. moving it from the inbox to another folder does not change the date. the date is the date it was delivered. it's a receiver-side postmark. but you knew that. what's your question? russ

Most likely it's just an artifact of the original UNIX mail implementation. The \n^Fromsp separator line got generated at initial delivery time, and the mail client used that as the display time in the message summaries (e.g. Date: not spoken here). Therefore it makes sense to preserve the initial separator line with it's date intact to ensure consistency for display purposes. Think of it as the UNIX ctime of the message. --lyndon
[9fans] upas/fs rfc 2047 encoding
is there any reason that upas/fs does rfc2047 translation for the files header and info but not for files like cc, bcc, subject, c? is this something that some tools depend on? i don't think that marshal does since it encodes subjects typed directly at it. - erik
