-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ANNOUNCE: Mutt 1.5.5 Email Client for DOS / Windows / DJGPP Date: 27 Jun 2005 23:23:24 -0700 From: bdeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organization: http://groups.google.com Newsgroups: comp.os.msdos.djgpp,comp.mail.mutt,comp.os.msdos.misc,comp.os.msdos.mail-news,comp.os.msdos.apps Mutt 1.5.5 for DOS / Windows / DJGPP has been released and is available from the programming page of http://www.caddit.net . Mutt is a small but very powerful text-based mail client for Unix operating systems. This release has incorperated modified patches for NNTP, POP and SMTP ('builtin' sendmail) and calls to external apps (i.e. 'print', 'pipe message' and 'pipe attachment') work for the most part. Direct IMAP support is also included, although it is recommend to use an external IMAP client like 'isync'. A sample %DJDIR%/etc/_muttrc is included. Change to taste. MuttD is a DOS-DJGPP implementation of this package, and it is downloadable from the CADD-IT network ( http://www.caddit.net ). It has been build using WATTCP-32 R8 (available at http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/ ) and requires a DOS packet driver to run. For those using DJGPP under NT or WIN32 I recommend trying/buying/installing NDIS3Pkt available at http://www.danlan.com/ . You can get a sample wattcp.cfg from http://www.bgnett.no/~giva/ for setting up Wattcp on your DOS system if you have not already done so. One is *not included* in this package. The modified sources are also being made available. There were many modifications and hacks, most notibly bypassing the 'mutt_create_filter' and 'mutt_create_filter_fd' functions for reading or writing messages or attachments to/from external processes. I know that they are a bit hackish, so please don't bother complaining (i.e. not '#ifdef __DJGPP__' used at every modification, although in the majority of cases). If you use 'make clean', the configuration header will also be re-written, so make a backup to compare with. (I just search/delete all .o, .a and .exe files). For more information about using configuring and using Mutt see the project site: http://www.mutt.org/ Regards, Ben ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
