You're welcome! I needed new functionality for my company, and I figured that the best way to get that functionality included in the distribution would be to write it as flexibly as possible in order to accomodate as many individual community needs as I could. Hey, I may need that functionality sometime in the future too! I encourage EVERYONE who could use this functionality to TEST this patch on their systems! I am a fairly decent C programmer (6+ years of non-professional experience), but I have VERY LITTLE Unix experience, and I would like to verify that my code is properly portable to all of the platforms that sqwebmail runs on. (I run FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE on all of my boxes) All of the functions I used for string manipulation are ISO/IEC 9899:1990 compliant, but I don't really have any idea what that's worth! TEST TEST TEST! And together we'll insure that this functionality runs as smoothly as possible in sqwebmail builds now and in the future. I'll try to release some documentation for the distribution soon. Sam, if you could just glance over my code for any obvious compatibility issues, I'd appreciate it. Also, if anyone is still really hurting for functionality, NOW IS THE TIME to mention it! The worst that can happen is that I'll say "heck no, write it yourself!" If you never mention it, then I probably won't think of it on my own. And if you wait too long, I'm more likely to say "no" because I won't remember my code as clearly. Thanks everyone! Enjoy the new code!
