Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care

Contributed by: Leonardo Taccari <iamleot@gmail.com> Update mail/nmh to 1.6. Changes: The biggest changes in this release are in the arena of MIME handling. Specifically relating to MIME composition and display. On the composition front, mhbuild(1) will now automatically be run by send(1) for all drafts. Specifically, mhbuild is now run with the new -auto flag, which will suppress the processing of mhbuild directives and cause mhbuild to silently exit if the draft is already MIME-formatted. When invoking mhbuild manually via the "mime" command at the WhatNow? prompt, mhbuild will behave as before and process mhbuild directives. In both cases (automatic and manual invocation) mhbuild will encode email headers according to RFC-2047 rules. Mhbuild also will use RFC 2231 encoding rules for MIME parameters when appropriate. In addition, the attach system has been substantially reworked; the new header name is now "Attach" (to better align with other MUA behavior) and cannot be changed by the end-user. The existing "attach" command simply adds the filename(s) to the draft in new Attach: headers, and the actual file processing is done by mhbuild; this attachment processing will take place in either automatic or manual mode. On the display front, mhshow(1) will now automatically convert text into the user's native character set using iconv, if nmh was built with iconv support. Also, mhshow will now by default only display text content that was not marked as an attachment. By default all displayed content wll be run under one pager, as opposed to individual pagers for each part as was in the past. Non-displayed parts will be indicated using a marker string, which can be customized by a new mh-format(5) string. All nmh utilites now understand RFC 2231-encoded MIME parameters and will automatically convert the encoded parameters into the native character set, when appropriate (again, assuming nmh was built with iconv support). In other changes, sequence files are now locked using transactional locks: locks that are held across sequence file reading, modification, and writing. The locking algorithm used for spool files and nmh data files is now runtime configurable. For people that struggle with mh-format(5) files, a new utility for testing them has been developed: fmttest(1). It includes the ability to trace the execution of format instructions. For users that wish to use Unix utilities on their mail, a new utility to transform MIME messages to more easily-digestable format is now available: mhfixmsg(1). It supports a number of options to control the message transformation. For users of spost(8), the support for spost has been rolled into post(8) under a new sendmail/pipe MTS. A shell script emulating the old behavior of spost has been provided. |
