- Hi
-
- I've just installed elm2.4 PL5 (PL6 got the known segmentation violation).
- We are using SYSVR4 and happy now that elm can handle the 'remote from ...'
- at the end of the From line if the mail is non-local.
-
- But - there are problems with 'readmsg' and 'frm'. Both have their own
- simple 'real_from' routine that just counts the fields in the From line.
- Frm does wrong if there are forwarded messages in the mbox (a new and an
- original From line).
- Readmsg didn't even find a message. There I have modified readmsg's
- real_from routine to accept more fields:
-
- readmsg.c, line 598:
- return (wcount >= 7 && wcount <= 11); /* was <= 9 */
-
- So my suggestion is to write a 'generic' real-from routine
- for all, elm and the utilities.
-
- Unfortunately, I can't spend the time to do it now, so if some
- patches exist, they are welcome.
-
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Wolfgang
