Thinking of patches I always apply, I've got a couple (attached) that
fix minor bugs and maybe should be applied - or implemented better and
then applied ;) - to the main distribution?
1) LIST bugs:
LIST "~/mail/" ""
and
LIST "" "~/mail/"
(where "~/mail/" is a namespace prefix) don't reply the same way
as
UW-IMAP does and in at least the first case, still violates the spec
(your fix breaks, as namespace_find() modifies its argument)
The second issue breaks Pine 4.x, I think.
2) Angle-addresses
If a header address is just "<someone at somewhere.org>" rather
than
"Someone <someone at somewhere.org>" or "someone at
somewhere.org", then the
FETCH ... ENVELOPE command responds with "" as the personal name,
rather
than NIL, which may confuse clients (without being wrong, technically, I
think).
(In case anyone's interested, I also use patches to:
1) fix the 64bit issue mentioned earlier today
2) introduce extra logging of LIST, SUBSCRIBE and UNSUBSCRIBE (for
debugging during our migration from UW-IMAP)
3) rename .subscriptions to .mailboxlist and store folder names in it
including the namespace prefix (to emulate UW-IMAP)
4) implement a Reading-specific hashing algorithm for the mail spool
location as an extra variable modifier "%H" (e.g.
"/export/mail/%Hu/%u/INBOX")
5) remove the need for /dev/urandom, which isn't available on our mail
server (though there is a Solaris patch available to create it).
6) add an option to hide "AUTH=PLAIN" in the CAPABILITY string as Pine
4.x complains loudly when this is advertised on a non-SSL connection
)
Best Wishes,
Chris
