Yes, this is my experience as well. I've been using it daily, 5-100 msgs/day, for years. > If you find a bug in nail, and report it here, and other are afraid to > be affected by that bug, too, it may even get fixed. > .. > I also think that both branches have their respective pkgs & maintainers > in various unix distributions -- which I really appreciate, BTW! Right, I was going to mention that the Debian heirloom-mailx package appears to have incorporated the various security and bug fixes since the last "offical" 12.5 release. The NetBSD package is based off the Debian package and so should be at a similar level. Obviously the best thing would be for someone with the skills and motivation to take over as offical heirloom-mailx project maintainer. I would like to nominate Martin. ;) Jeff -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This email has a PGP signature attached; verify using PGP public key at http://jgw.sdf.org/pgp/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUx97aAAoJELZg2zktVKWMNZUP/ispNTlNSjx0QoKChol0sZSF 55ZvdtINHvA5DL0M78kXVkFqzWDdnAjE857iK8fXbj5Az6tx05DY+iovf6qUyLKF X/5Jm82B8xAlSu8AlM37su8TzAgh51rw0UPJ1qhfaiamjognk6Yc0fFCnsWlaElp 1toKk++UghXfcWkY4hs3t6S//Nzf1WTg3mwKHVfmMJy2I2doXjI1Ok2ogB11gQX9 7HqJVpHcRzdel3iAUgmzruexQzBXpuBdylAjLfGiF7bVgP3bK4teck/D46BP09qJ XBPKgNwbHtCRqArfRjMb92EhzgZjUftadJwDmPFlE7N1nn2tBP2pmwb8lhq18CsS 2uyflSrVMwFuRYYCXcfPTYl+mUTg0kA9MAp/gNVOAc+9B7TfjWN1HkCBnOuBFtI2 7nH7xJ3eEeOaoTRZPXo0WSWcAtWDXXbdZXW8cgVUIxggQLVA22CTKMRUTGfeJwcS KAbzyZu/z2/V04Ygnu2hzgAGulw4qvv0cREiOVHVdpgaq8hEH2/U/yKqaXTf5NCp P+9NKQDGgnt2cWNibUAzF563uvnOL3OnnjeT6/PLsfzJkpOFPi/H/UHc8a6Hjc8F l2S9u+5Lu4DFfXjewTRT8NLmeal3kppHBwHIeGVavWlmLET0bvSj486qimXVv2SN fwEG5kbnu8pX89ZowR8U =KFMw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ nail-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nail-devel
