Hello list,
i've spend the last two days on tweaking the remaining bits of the
new *v15-compat* URL and credential scheme (made IMAP work with
that correctly, including IMAP cache interaction etc.) and now
there is a coherent set of improvements which makes me think there
should be another (as such unplanned) minor release -- v14.7 --,
because (a) i will not spend anymore contiguous time on S-nail
development for at least half a year, so no further minor release
is to be expected in 2014 (but one more minor before the large
break that will end up as v15.0), and therefore (b) i think the
rare occasions when mailx(1) users look into the manual should be
utilized for the important v15 compatibility message at the top of
the manual, in that it makes a difference wether that paragraph
could catch a glimpse for twelve or eighteen months.
Whereas there are so many urgent topics, that is to say.
I finally and definitely take my time for S-CText now.
I'll add yet another manual section on the new URL scheme, but
otherwise the following is new (most of it has been posted already
three weeks ago); whoever is willing to test and complain on
problems, feel beloved; expect S-nail v14.7 in a week:
- SMTP GSSAPI (Tarqi Kazan)
- -r option is mapped to -f MTA option (Johannes Löthberg)
- Deal with the OpenBSD OpenSSL clone (no RAND_egd(3) support)
- GCC 4.9 tested (last week though)
- NCL: the possibility to use PgUp / PgDown / Home / End instead
of z[-+0$] on xterm-compatible terminals; and ^O equal to `dp'
- Support for empty lines in macro and account definition blocks
(as required by POSIX for startup files in general)
- ^C in compose mode with *ignore* set acts now POSIX compatible
- If *encoding* is set to base64 then we don't ignore that user
wish and use quoted-printable (when 7bit doesn't suffice)
- We don't (temporarily) set the $LESS environment variable
anymore (even if that was not set)
- `resend' should be truly fixed regardless of what the
configuration actually is, and (fwiw) can also resend to
pipe and file addressees.
- Some new commands: `urlenc' and `urldec', `setenv' and `unsetenv'
(like `set' and `unset' but also synchronise the program
environment; those actively fail unless all resource files have
been loaded, which hopefully circumvents possible security
implications)
- ~R tilde escape (read in a file with lines indented)
- `elif' command; `if' and `elif' gained =~ and !~ regular
expression match support, e.g.
set dietcurd=yoho
if $dietcurd =~ '^yo.*'
echo yay
- *headline-bidi* option to support terminals with bidirectional
text fields when printing headers
- New URL scheme, when setting *v15-compat*:
PROTO://[USER[:PASSWORD]@]server[:port][/path]
If no USER is given:
*user-HOST* then *user* (which defaults to *USER* which defaults
to getpwuid(getuid()) a.k.a. the current user).
No more prompt asking for user names.
If no PASSWORD is given:
*password-USER@HOST*, then *password-HOST* then *password*.
Prompt on the terminal if all else fails (and the authentication
type requires a password).
Authentication:
*PROTO-auth-USER@HOST* then *PROTO-auth-HOST* then *PROTO-auth*
(which has a protocol-specific default).
Note I:
For SMTP the rules are a bit more complicated:
regardless of *v15-compat* we will *always* work relative to
*from*, not to the smtp:// account in respect to S/MIME
(*smime-sign* and *smime-sign-include-certs*).
This is so because S/MIME verification uses `From:' (or
`Sender:').
For the SMTP 'MAIL FROM:<>' we also use *from* _unless_ the new
*smtp-hostname* is also set (and setting it to an empty string
automatically deduces *hostname* or, as a last resort, the local
hostname for it), in which case that is used as `HOST' (and the
SMTP account user is `USER'). E.g.:
define _sdaoden_yandex {
call _sdaoden_shared
set v15-compat
set user=sdaoden password=PASSWORD hostname=yandex.com
set smtp=smtps://smtp.yandex.ru:465 smtp-auth=plain smtp-hostname=
ghost xi "fi %:imaps://imap.yandex.ru
}
account sn_sf {
localopts 1
call _sdaoden_yandex
set from="[email protected] (Steffen Nurpmeso)"
}
Note that the `Message-Id:' header is (1) shortened a bit and
(2) reflects several different settings from above, in
particular the *smtp-hostname* thing.
