Re: POP3 handling of long lines (patch)
ps: I have absolutely no idea if there will ever be a new nmh release, or if anyone really still cares (and is able) to make cvs commits, I know I can't. But you're certainly not the last MH user around! nmh development has moved to savannah.gnu.org - the new homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/nmh/ and is now linked from the old one at mhost.com. CVS is hosted at gnu.org/nongnu.org, and there has been some work there. We're aiming for a 1.1 release in the near future, but when exactly that will be is still up in the air. In any case, I've archived your patch to consider for inclusion. Scott
Re: POP3 handling of long lines (patch)
ps: I have absolutely no idea if there will ever be a new nmh release, or if anyone really still cares (and is able) to make cvs commits, I know I can't. So development of NMH is dead, then? Well ... I've been unfortunately busy in my real life job. Buuuttt ... Everyone who has asked me for commit privs on savannah has (as far as I know) been given them. So if you want to commit to nmh, please send me email. But I have two trips in the next three weeks, so I might be a bit delayed. --Ken
Re: POP3 handling of long lines (patch)
Hi Nick, ps: I have absolutely no idea if there will ever be a new nmh release, or if anyone really still cares (and is able) to make cvs commits, I know I can't. So development of NMH is dead, then? Well, there hasn't been any signs of life for a while, so it may be. Which is a shame because November's _Linux Journal_ published my letter mentioning MH and nmh and pointing them at www.mhost.com/nmh and www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/. (See last letter on page 6.) Cheers, Ralph.

Date:Mon, 04 Nov 2002 16:49:58 + From:Nick Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | I use NMH 1.0.4_1 on FreeBSD, reading mail using POP3. I am unable to | collect messages containing very long lines (greater than 1K | characters). While it would be good if nmh had no such limitations, messages like that are absolutely not conforming, and how they're treated is largely up to the implementation. No-one should be expecting a message with a line that long to be delivered correctly. See Section 2.1.1 of rfc2822 There are two limits that this standard places on the number of characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF. 1K 998 (regardless of whether the 1K included the CRLF or not). kre ps: I have absolutely no idea if there will ever be a new nmh release, or if anyone really still cares (and is able) to make cvs commits, I know I can't. But you're certainly not the last MH user around!
