MAFE help page update suggestions

Hello,

Re: exmh-2.7.2/misc/mafe/help/mafe.html

There was a mistake, recently corrected, in the MH/nmh
mh-alias(5) man page:  a blind list must not be terminated
with a semicolon.  The MAFE help page contains such
semicolons in its Introduction and Terminology sections:

    2. nmh alias files can the format
          friends: All-Friends:, friend1 <at> b.com, friend2 <at> c.edu, ...
       friend <at> z.ca, ;
       (note the semicolon at the end as well as the comma usage) so that

   2: name: tag:, {list}, ;

Preceding the semicolon with a comma prevents its
deleterious effect.  However, to avoid confusion I suggest
removing both, something like:

    2. nmh alias files can the format
          friends: All-Friends:, friend1 <at> b.com, friend2 <at> c.edu, ...
       friend <at> z.ca
       (note that there is no semicolon at the end) so that

   2: name: tag:, {list}

And "nmh alias files can the format" could use adjustment.

How to use (or debug) encryption?

Hello,

I just switched to 2.8.0 (current top of CVS) for routine use, and I
still notice some problms I've always had - whre I hoped updating
could fix these.  But eventually I'm just doing something wrong.

Question: how does one use signing/encryption - and how dooes one
debug this if it isn't working?

Assume I have a message ready for sending. In the "What now?" window I
select I select "More" => "Crypt..." and check "Encrypt".  Then I
click on "Send".  A window "Please select a GnuPG key to use or
signing" pops up, I select a key, and klick "OK".  A new window "Enter
GnuPG passphrase" pops up, I enter it, and click "OK".

Now I get an "Address or Header Error-1" window with an error message:
"couldn't open "/tmp/wd/0.pgp.32187.exmh": no such file or directory".

This is 100% repeatable - only the PID changes. ANd indeed there is no
such file - there is only a "/tmp/wd/0.msg.32187.exmh" file.
~/Mail/.exmhaudit does not show any interesting information either.

Am I doing something wrong?  And how can I debug this?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

[PATCH] Fix RPM build errors on 64bit systems.

Tested on Fedora 17.

Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd <at> denx.de>

Notes:
- I dropped the dependency on metamail, since this package appears to
  be not included in any recent distributions any more.
- I somewhat dout about the config options for "faces" and "glimpse"
  still make sense.  I cannot find such packages for any of therecent
  distros - is anybody still using these?  Where can I foind recent
  source code?

[PATCH 0/2] Misc local extensions

The following two patches contain some minor local extensions that
I've been using for years now as they simplify some actions I'm
performing frequently.

I don't know if these are of general interest, and most probably they
could be implemented more efficiently, so please feel free to ignore.

current source code?

Hello,

sorry for asking a probably very stupid question - where can I find
the recent exmh code? I read people are testing "exmh 2.8.0 + CVS",
but while I can locate the 2.8.0 tarball, I cannot find the recent
changes in CVS - that would be exmh.cvs.sourceforge.net, right?
I don't see a 2.8.0 version there either.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Very preliminary patch for controlling XFT fonts for message display

 I asked about this issue on exmh-users earlier today and then (sort
of encouraged by Brent Welch) hacked together this crude, probably
not really good TCL, and preliminary patch to do this. This patch
allows exmh to pick XFT fonts for MIME messages and so on in the
same way that it can currently do this for old XLFD fonts using
'*mime_<charset>-<style>_families' resources. I hope my hack work
can be useful to someone.

 How it works and what I changed:
- Mime_GetFont is split into two versions. The current one is preserved
  entirely intact as Mime_GetFont_XLFD and I wrote a new one as
  Mime_GetFont_XFT. Mime_GetFont is now a short proc that picks the right
  one to call.

- Mime_GetFont_XFT forms XFT font names in a relatively obvious way:
  family plus size converted to points plus one or both of 'bold' and
  'italic' if we were asked for either.
- I added utf-8 and iso-10646-1 to the list of character sets that just
  used the MIME default font.

- I didn't implement searching through a space-separated list of font
  families. At the time I skipped it I was operating under the impression
  that TK 8.5 supported the standard XFT 'font1,font2,font3' form of
  letting XFT do the lookup, but now that I test it doesn't seem to.
  That should be added (somehow, it interacts with other bits).

- I failed to resist the temptation to use a new font default scheme for
  Mime_GetFont_XFT. If
	*mime_<charset>_<style>_families
  does not result in a good font, it tries to look up

I-Spell as I type in Sedit not working, exmh 2.8.0+CVS


Do I need to do something special to get "real time" spell checking 
working again in the simple editor?  It was working in exmh 2.7.2.
It's not working in 2.8.0+cvs.

My ~/.exmh/exmh-defaults is unchanged in this regard:

*ispellOnOff:	1
*ispellRecheckAfterAdd:	1
*ispellTextOnly:	0
*ispellCommand:	ispell -a -S
*ispellOthers:	English { ispell -a -d english } 
*ispellPopupBinding:	ButtonPress-3
*ispellStyle:	underline
*ispellStyleColor:	red
*ispellStyleOther:	-underline t -foreground red

Maybe I need to change it?

Thanks....

exmh-2.8.0.tar.gz

I have a release candidate tarball at

http://www.beedub.com/exmh-2.8.0.tar.gz
and copies of the HTML at
http://www.beedub.com/exmh-2.8/

I need folks to take this for a spin and make sure I didn't mess up the release mechanics, which are
fortunately captured pretty well in the Makefile.

I have not yet applied the exmh-2-8-0 CVS tag.  I'll wait until I get some votes for that. 

I don't yet know how to update the repository at www.tcl.tk, but I'm working on that.   I similarly need to
update the SourceForge download, but I want to wait and hear a few votes of confidence.

If this email encourages you to submit *solid* things you've been sitting on, we may consider that as well. 
But, you guys are going to have to vouch for each other on that.  I'm totally dependent on you guys to test
these bits.

Help with exmh 2.8.0 release

I'm going to turn the crank on a 2.8.0 tarball.  I'm going to have to ask for help testing it. I'm also traveling
all next week, so I'll be responsive in fits and starts.

The release tarball is created via the Makefile in the CVS tree.  There is a version.csh script that explains
what to do.  I'm happy to help/advise, but I think it would be better for someone else to take it for a test
drive.  As I said earlier, I'll update the html files on www.beedub.com/exmh when you guys are ready.

Heh, understood.  I guess Brent was the only one who ever did it?  You (or I could do it) could email him to ask him
about it.
