I thought I'd blast off a rough version and see if it was
greeted with the usual silence before I spent too much
time polishing. Your suggestions sound reasonable,
thanks.
I saw some other things (e.g. I don't need to call
gettimeofday, I don't need to convert the current time.
Any old constant time will do, so long as I calculate the diff
between UTC and localtime correctly. also, I don't need to
calculate that for every log entry, it's going to be
tthe same difference every time, so why not just do it
once? and some other minor loose ends.
As for Mime encryption, my mailer is disgusting, and
it's either that, or have it insert extra carriage-returns
in the patch, (helping me out with line wrapping I guess
is what it thinks it's doing, and so the patch would be
ruined if I tried to send it plain text.)
