Bug#311119: aeromail can't login

[Matej Vela]

retitle 39 aeromail: unusable with default PHP configuration
severity 39 serious
thanks

aeromail depends on register_globals being enabled, which is not the
default setting since PHP 4.2.0.

Thanks,

Matej

 Does this make the package unusable?

Yes. In fact, even after correcting that problem there are other bugs,
apparently due to aeromail in sarge being a really old version, and not
working with the current php package. I switched to ilohamail.
IMHO, aeromail should be scrapped or updated.

Aeromail can't login. It seems it doesn't work with the version of PHP

instead of $_SERVER[$PHP_AUTH...].

Here is a patch which fixes it for me:

Does this make the package unusable?
