Unless I missed something, neither wxFileName::CreateTemp() or the Win32
API allow to specify an extension for temporary files. Only the prefix
(i.e. the directory where the file is stored) can be specified.

You can add extension to temporary file yourself, there is already such
code in Mahogany IIRC.

I'm not so sure: we would not be guaranteed to have a fileName that does
not already exist.

Oh, sure, yes. Sorry. So wxFileName::CreateTemp() should be extended?

 Yes, this is what I was going to do -- but didn't have time for it yet.

Re: profile class (any takers?)


I'm sorry for asking again, but I found it difficult getting to know how
this one works.

Re: profile class

[sorry for not replying earlier but 27 was the day of my PhD defense
 and I was a bit busy the 26 -- and then I had a few other things to do]

 I think the best would be to read the code because I don't remember how
exactly does it work by now and don't want to confuse you.

 The relevant code is in ProfileImpl::readEntry(LookupData &ld, int flags)
method and here is what it does (typing this while looking at it):

1. if the profile is in suspended mode, try to read the value from
   __SUSPENDED__ subdirectory

2. if it wasn't found there, try the normal location

3. if still not found, use the identity override before looking up the
   parent (see comment in the code):

 a) first try the __SUSPENDED__ path
 b) then the normal one

4. finally go up the parent hieerarchy until we find it

 Does this answer your question?

Mahogany Win32 enhancement request (cursor in editor)

Hi.

I've recently downloaded MAHOGANY for WIN32 for use as IMAP client.

The most annoying thing is that the cursor disappears when writing a
message.  It is almost impossible to navigate the cursor to a specific
position on screen, because it becomes visible only 0.5 sec after
releasing the cursor keys.

I think your function is something like this:

      if (cursor movement due to cursor keys or printing new char)

        set cursor blink state to INVISIBLE
        reset blink timer

while in fact it should better be 

      if (cursor movement due to cursor keys or printing new char)

        set cursor blink state to VISIBLE
        reset blink timer         ^^^^^^^

In case that this problem doesn't appear on all machines:  My setup
is WinXP SP1 on P3/800 512MB RAM,  Mahogany v0.64.1 Sparc Release build
13-Jan-2002 21:47:59.   By the way, 13-Jan is my birthday!

Marc

PS: Keep on good work.  Free programs are a good thing.  Back in

Re: c-client patch that could solve Frankenstein messages

 Me neither and this really bothers me. Anyhow, I assume it still works for
you (what about you, Michele, did you try it?)?

 Have you been able to understand when/how can netmsg_slurp() call return
non NULL text but fill LOCAL->hdrsize with 0? As far as I can see, this is
the only situation when your patch helps but this seems impossible to me
:-(

 Alternatively, would it be enough to simply not set LOCAL->hasbody to T in
such case? Sorry to ask you about all this but I still haven't been able to
reproduce the bug myself. To be honest, by now I even forgot what was the
best way to try to reproduce it, could you please remind me?

 Thanks a lot,
VZ

 It might be a bit late to return to this, but I suppose that this is not
