apd trace output

Hey all,
  I have been playing with the apd PHP debugger and thought you might like
to see some of the numbers for squirrelmail 1.5 CVS (dev? sorry, can't keep
track these days!). Anyway the debugger offers some interesting info about
function calls and expense. Attatched is the text for a trace on
right_main.php for a stock 1.5 CVS install with no plugins activated. The
trace was taken for right_main after hitting the 'next' to load page 2 from
page 1 of INBOX at 15 messages per page without server side sorting. System
is Debian GNU/Linux (unstable), UW imap on port 143, Apache2 and PHP 4.3.2.

Enjoy!

btw, I have been testing the stable branch for a long overdue update of our
squirrelmail setup at work and things look very nice. Good work everyone!

  How did you establish you can only delete 1000 at a time? Do you see
  errors? If so, what? What IMAP server are you using? Are the mails
  large in size, or small text emails?

apd trace output (take 2)

Hey all,
  for comparison, here is the exact same system and the same trace on
right_main.php, however this one is collected on login (INBOX contains 224
messages). One can be thankful for caching after comparing this with the
previous trace :)

I have to disagree. I that I get top-posted emails. It save me from
scrolling down throughout the message; with a quick glance I can read the
new text. With the volume of mail I get each day for my job alone if I had
to scroll through each and every message to read the new text I would
quickly stop responding to a lot of people.

Inline quoting & responding is one thing, scrolling through screen after
screen of quoted email to just read one or two lines of text becomes
intolerable after a short while.

With this patch hopefully I can modify SquirrelMail to handle that as an
option on a per user basis. Let the user decide IMO....

Now HTML mail... :)

Netiquette [OFF] (was: Re: squirrelmail setfocus on textarea on reply feature )

And that's why people have to delete quoted text, too.  Quotation
serves only for reminding what the original message was about, and it
only takes two lines to do that.

Every text about netiquette will tell you the same. For instance
(http://www.cs.queensu.ca/FAQs/email/etiquette.html):

"Include only the minimum you need from the original message. One of the
most annoying things you can encounter in e-mail is to have your
original 5-page message quoted back at you in its entirety, with the
words "Me too" added at the bottom. Quote back only the smallest amount
you need to make your context clear."

The most extreme example I have seen is, somewhere around 15 mails, one
top-posted over the other, each one with its own HTML formatting too.

If it was up to me, I would even go as far to allow only 4 lines in the
signature textbox, so as to enforce good netiquette practices.... Hmm
now that I think of it, it's not a bad idea... :)

To be honest you both are right. Especially in mailinglists and in mail
communication with experienced Linux users it is a "nettiquette" (and most
often a must-have) not to do a full quote below your message. But in
private communications it should be up to you and in business
communication it might be a must to have a full-quote below your answere.

OK, sometimes it is possible to answer in line in business communications,
too. But as long as the majority of software used in such communications
is Outlook or Notes you will always have problems like that and it's
getting worse every day. Even free webmail services are migrating to HTML
and users like it.

Thus, the software must be smart enough and it is ok to have such an
option but it should be disabled by default.

Cu, Gunnar

foldLine mangling Content-Type boundary in Deliver.class.php

Hello I'm running Squirrelmail 1.4.0, but I think this problem may be present in most 
versions of Deliver.class.php from what I've seen from browsing through the cvs archives. 

The problem is this, after the Content-Type header has been assembled in prepareMIME_Header()
a call to foldLine is made on each of the headers found in $header.

This causes a valid Content-Type line like this:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;charset=iso-8859-1;boundary="----=_20030929151231_91833"

To become a problem causing line like this:

Content-Type: multipart/mixed;charset=iso-8859-1;boundary="----=
     _20030929151231_9183

As you can see the boundary now includes a new line and some additional spaces that weren't 
there before and the end quote has magically disappeared. This causes my mozilla mail reader
to think that there isn't any content to the message since the boundaries that are placed into
the actual message by squirrelmail aren't mangled.

A simple fix for this may be to not fold the Content-Type header, a more in depth fix 
would require foldLine to respect the contents of "'s and try to do it's business elsewhere.

Please include me in replies to this message as I have turned off mail delivery for my subscription 
to this list. :P

Fantastic - then hopefully it'll start working with Netscape 4.x etc.

Back

I thought it might be therapeutic to poke my head around here for a 
little while. So you could say that I am back, perhaps.

I hope the project is going well. Congrats to those who have been 
blazing the trails for the last year. Maybe I'll do something useful.

Paul
