ANN: mail-system-patches updated
[1/9] from: ingo:h-o-h at: 24-Mar-2003 13:42
Hi Rebols,
I have updated my patches for the Rebol mail subsystem to /Core 2.5.5.
What do I win compared to standard Rebol?
- send ["Ingo" [mail--no-spam--please]] "Message"
-> Real name handling (in import-email, too)
- mail is sent to all addresses on the command-line and in the
header-obj, if the latter is present
- intelligent handling of to/cc
- net-utils/export accepts multiple headers with the same name
- import-email allows /multiple
- creates multiline headers with a leading tab
- understands multiline headers even without
- imports email from an mbox mail-spool (First line = "From ...")
What do I lose?
- It's not looking as elegant as the original.
- Maybe it's not yet as stable.
And Where do I get it?

Some testing would be greatly appreciated.
Ingo

Hi Ingo,
I haven't tested it yet ... but have you looked at the
patch that Volker did for import-mail that I posted to the
bug fixes group on AltME?
And are you also flagging an error when the email header
is malformed? eg. when no From: address.
My preference would be to set the from: field to none and
just carry on as happens now.

Ingo,
I ran it against a tiny selection (200) of my spam. Most
of the errors were in 'parse-header-date, but I found one
in 'parse-mail-list where the relevant line is:
To: Attn Buyers/ Office Managers<>
** Script Error: trim expected series argument of type:
series port
** Where: parse-mail-list
** Near: append addr-list to-email trim addr
When I get a chance I'll run it against my 7000 spam to
see if any other errors arise.

Thanks Graham,
so far I haven't had a look at Volkers code just tried to port my own
patches, but I'll have a look into.
On the bright side, I found the error instantly. I just assumed that an
email address would always be given.
Kind regards,
Ingo
P.S. will upload my newest version now

Ingo,
I ran your latest version against my spam database of 8794
messages ( a likely source of malformed email), and only
came across 484 errors on import-email ..all due to
'parse-header-date errrors and unrelated to your patches.
So, looks good.

Hi Dave,
Yes, I'm aware of the problems which started up once I
installed Vanilla.r
This is because the forum software cookie handling routine
assumed that the browser client would only ever send one
cookie back to it, and now there are two cookies.
I thought I had fixed it .. .and it seems now. But maybe
now I have ...
try logging on here:

and perhaps emailing me if it still doesn't work.

Re: ANN: mail-system-patches updated
Thanks Graham,
nice to know ... it always worked for me, so I assumed it should be
alright, but others always find errors easier.
Will have a look into 'parse-header-date, maybe I can add it to my patch.
Kind regards,
Ingo
