== Configuration

Following files (if exists) are rewritten by elmconfwriter on
installation:

- /usr/local/lib/elm.rc
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mimecharsets
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mimetypes
- /usr/local/lib/elm.terminalinfo
- /usr/local/lib/elm.iso2022sets
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mailservices
- /usr/local/lib/elm.aliases
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mailinglists
- /usr/local/lib/elm.hashmarks

Deb generator script compiles elm for binary distribution, so you must
edit /usr/local/lib/elm.rc before using Elm ME+ 2.5. Following
variables may need to be modified on elm.rc:

- mailer
- hostdomain (this is usually needed)
- hostfullname
- hostname (usually this is not needed)
- mailname (default values is generated from other values)
- name-resolution (controls default values of hostdomain,
hostfullname, hostname, mailname)

By default first value for mailname is read from /etc/mailname file.

For re-generation of following file, old information (if exists) is
used:

- /usr/local/lib/elm.rc

WARNING: Check after installation that libraries are enabled. Global
elm.rc values are:

use-library =
use-base-library = iconv
use-config-library = resolv
use-connect-library = tls resolv
use-mailer-library = smtp resolv

After editing global elm.rc run /usr/local/lib/elmrc-write -GI for
fixing possible errors.

On installation following existing files are merged with new values:

- /usr/local/lib/elm.terminalinfo
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mimetypes
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mimecharsets
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mailservices
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mailinglists
- /usr/local/lib/elm.aliases
- /usr/local/lib/elm.iso2022sets
- /usr/local/lib/elm.hashmarks

Old values from /usr/local/lib/aliases.text are converted to /usr/local/lib/elm.aliases and /usr/local/lib/aliases.text is renamed to /usr/local/lib/aliases.text.OLD.

On installation new values without merging are written to following
files:

- /usr/local/lib/elm.aliases.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mailinglists.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mailservices.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mimecharsets.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.mimetypes.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.terminalinfo.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.iso2022sets.NEW
- /usr/local/lib/elm.hashmarks.NEW

Also following directories are used:

- /usr/local/lib/elm.map.txt/ (global setting map-text-dir =
{lib}/elm.map.txt)
- /usr/local/lib/elm.map.bin/ (global setting map-bin-dir =
{lib}/elm.map.bin)
- /usr/local/lib/elm.user.map/ (global setting user-map-dir =
{lib}/elm.user.map)

Hashmark EXAMPLE uses file /usr/local/lib/elm.user.map/elm.usermap.

A command

elm-{version}-{release}.gen_deb {packager}

generates package elmme with version {library-version}-{release}.{distribution}. Note that a resulted
filename of package is still elm-{version}-{release}.{arch}.deb. This
version number is same than on files /usr/local/lib/libelmme-{module}.so.{library-version}. A filename of
package is related to used source archive name, which is elm-{version}-{release}.tar.gz.

A command

elm-{version}-{release}.gen_deb --nonew {packager}

generates package elm with version {version}-{release}.{distribution}.
Also on this case a resulted filename of package is elm-{version}-{release}.{arch}.deb.

- Added elmrc option "show-mail-quota".
- Check IMAP quota when mailbox is opened if
elmrc option "show-mail-quota" have value
"on-open".

RFC 2087: IMAP4 QUOTA extension

- Option "show-mail-quota" values are:
off Does not show mail quota on
mailbox open (command 'Eu'
still works).
on-open Shows mail quota (if supported)
on mailbox open (default).
- Note that mailbox may have a mail quota even
when it is not displayed.
- Mail quota display does not show unit of
mail usage or quota. That is not available.

- Command 'Eu' shows quota usage. This is available
also when "show-mail-quota" have value "off".

- Added connection_set_reset_quota() to lib/mbox/connection.c
- Added free_mail_quota(), free_mail_quotaroot_list(),
free_mail_quotaroot(), free_mail_quota_item(),
inc_mail_quota_refcount(), inc_mail_quotaroot_list_refcount(),
quotaroot_list_len(), quotaroot_list_item(),
quotaroot_list_mquota(), quotaroot_name(),
quotaroot_item_count(), quotaroot_item(), quota_item_name(),
quota_item_values(), mail_quota_unlink_con(),
inc_mail_quotaroot_refcount(), inc_mail_quota_item_refcount()
to lib/mbox/quota.c
- Added give_folder_quotaroot_l(), have_folder_quota()
to lib/mbox/mbox.c

- Added menu_redraw_done() to src/screen/context.c

- Message
Checking mailbox ...
is shown on screen when mailbox quota is read
after 0.5 second delay if remote mailbox is stalled.

- Removed some emergency_exit() calls from change_file()
on src/quit.c
- Added some prototypes to nls/gencat/genlib.c and nls/gencat/gencat.h
- Changed newmbox_1() do not call rm_temps_exit()
when reading of new mailbox fails (however on resync
still calls rm_temps_exit() when reading of mailbox
fails).

- Added struct menu_context * page; to struct counter_data
on src/newmbox.c
- Fix cleanup of struct counter_data on failure.
- Fixed EOF handling on verify_remote_url()

- Use conv_from_imap_name() on imap_open_connection()
at lib/mbox/imap.c

- Added '%zu' to parse_format_args() and
convert_number() on lib/output.c (for size_t)
- Added '%zu' to SKIP_WIDTH() on lib/debug.c
- Replaced int long_f with enum width_type long_f
on struct format_elem

- Replaced
long len_or_value;
with
uint32 value;
size_t str_len;
on struct imap_token. 'number' on
RFC 1730 (IMAP) is unsigned 32-bit integer.
- Replaced
long literal_len;
with
uint32 wanted_literal_len;
on struct IMAP_CON
- Exported
const size_t size_MAX
from lib/safemalloc.c;
- Replaced
int read_len;
with
size_t read_len;
on
struct Read_Buffer
- Changed prototype of cut_line() to use size_t
- Changed tokenize() to not use
safe_malloc() to allocate literal.
- Changed ReadFromSocket() to not use
safe_realloc() to allocate buffer
- Close connection, if literal len >= INT_MAX
when reading from IMAP connection
- Changed tokenize() to not use strtol()
to parse literal length or other imap numbers.
Added parse_imap_number() for that.
- Added safe_array_size() to lib/safemalloc.c
- Changed parse_response() to not use
safe_array_realloc() when handling
EXISTS response.
- Changed debug_level_check() so that -d{class}:{level}
have preference over -d{level} command line flag.

- Do not call eval_condition() from
signal handler on loc_info(), added
int maybe_signal parameter
> However if wait_can_signal is set,
memory allocation is still safe.
- Added int maybe_signal parameter
to terminal_can_switch(), give_display_charsets(),
switch_display_charset(), set_display_charset(),
terminal_switch_to(), terminal_can_switch_to()

- get_charset_MIME_name() may be called from signal
handler

- Added "mailcap-tempfile-lifetime" elmrc option which
specifies minimum time on seconds which
temporary file is kept before it is deleted
when using internal mailcap. This is only available
if system supports poll() or select(). If mailcap view
commands exits before "mailcap-tempfile-lifetime" seconds,
deletion of temporary file is delayed. This assumes that
mailcap view command is used only to launch actual
viewing application, that file is opened later.
If system supports poll() or select(), default value
is 5 seconds.
- Added alloc_delay_unlink(), free_delay_unlink(),
delay_unlink_add_name(), delay_unlink_mark_done(),
inc_delay_unlink_recount to lib/delay_unlink.c
- Added delay_unlink_from_state_decode() to
melib/state_decode.c
- Added struct delay_unlink * timer_unlink
to struct in_state_decode
- Changed const int * conditional_option_p
on struct rc_save_info_rec to union.
- Changed prototype of run_mailcap_view()
- Changed free_timed_task_handle()
- Added free_schedule() and
timed_task_alter_cleanup() to lib/schedule.c
- Changed freeing order on leave(),
rm_temps_exit(), silently_exit(),
leave_locked(), main() of Elm

- Moved
Closing connections...
Leaving mailbox ...
Checking mailbox ...
to
setup_mbx_cancel_message()
on src/network.c

- Prompt "Press a <enter> to abort or <enter> to exit: "
on panic(). This is used only when /dev/tty is open
and current pid is same that when /dev/tty opened.

- Added message
---- Debug output truncated ----
Lost XXXX characters.
to debug file if all debug output was not buffered
successfully.

- Changed debug so that source file information is printed
to debug after debug file is established (so that does not fill
debug buffer on initial debug output).

New elmrc options:
show-mail-quota
mailcap-tempfile-lifetime

New files:
lib/mbox/quota.c
hdrs/quota_imp.h
src/quotadisp.c
lib/mbox/imap_quota.c
src/command/quota_dispcmd.c
lib/delay_unlink.c
src/network.c

Warnings
--------

- Not compiled with MMDF support defined, so probably it doesn't
work (or even compile).

- This has not been tested much so there can be bad bugs.

Bug reports to: Kari E. Hurtta <elm@elmme-mailer.org>
(was hurtta+elm@posti.FMI.FI)

- Internationalized (ie. non-ASCII) domain names are not supported.

- Support for multipart/signed and multipart/encrypted (specially:
support for PGP/MIME) only in reading side. There is no support
for attachments with multipart/encrypted.

- HP's shoftkeys are no longer supported

- DECNET addresses like host::user may be interpreted as phrase
of group syntax or as route of source routed address.

- Header editing screen now uses addresses in form phrase <address>,
but because it does not require using of comma (,), multiword
phrases must be entered in quotes.

For example: "Kari Hurtta" <hurtta>

- If address includes <> or comments (), they are not aliased
expanded. So aliases must be entered as bare words.

- Addresses given as arguments to elm command should be given
as one address per argument. Giving of sevaral addresses per
one argument causes that address is misparsed if header is
edited on header editing screen.

That is:

Use: elm '"Kari Hurtta" <hurtta>' 'Admin <root>'

Don't use: elm 'Kari Hurtta <hurtta>, Admin <root>'

- p)rint command acts as P)rint text -command. So it
is currently quite useless.
p)rint command does that via readmsg -command. However
P)rint text does actually same (without readmsg).

- Some Linux libraries does not follow $LC_CTYPE when program is
setgid. Net result is that your locale is always C. That is
visible that $LC_CTYPE does not effect to locale printed by
'elm -vvvvv':

Locale (LC_CTYPE): C
Display character-set: US-ASCII
Sending character-set: US-ASCII

- All refrences iso2022 maps are parsed and read to memory.
This may cause quite big memory consumption specially because
eastern (multibyte) sets tend to be lot of characters. That
mapping information should be shared between processes to
reduce memory consuption.

- If display charset is produced by using mapping from locale
to charset where charset definition is later invalidated
("removed") by setting explicit compatcharsets on user's
.elm/elmrc, that may cause PANIC on elm's internal pager
or other problems. Invalidation happens if display charset
is on implicit compatcharsets list (because of charset
definition), but does not have explicit compatcharsets list
given by user.

- Neither Unicode didirectional algorithm nor Right-Left scripts
are supported.

- In some situations two Status headers may be generated two
Status headers -- one by IMAP deamon and one from APPENDed
message.

- When APPENDing message to IMAP folder (which is normal UNIX
mailbox format) original "From " separator line can not be
preserved -- specially it is not possible to pass envelope
sender address.

- For UTF-8 charset Elm only knows printable characters from
Latin/1 range, if unicode database (see elmrc option "unidata")
is not loaded.

- For using of ISO2022 character sets it is required that mapping
them to unicode is know -- otherwise Elm ME+ does not know which
characters are printable.

- UTF-16 surrogate pairs (D800-DFFF) are not supported on UTF-7
charset.

- Mixing of names using IMAP naming convention
(imap-naming-convention = yes)
and names using imap-charset does not work very well...

- " Regarding my message (8 Aug 2000) regarding 'newmail' on
AIX 4.3.3 in an 'aixterm' window and the 'aixterm' did not
close, indeed the problem was NOT related to 'newmail' but an
AIX bug.

IBM has release a patch, and the 'aixterm' in AIX 4.3.3 must
be update with fileset X11.apps.aixterm.4.3.3.26 (PTF
U473920) is solved to problem."
From: Noam G. Nudelman <noam@mail.biu.ac.il>

- File /usr/share/locale/fi/charset gives charset name utf-8 on
Linux Mandrake 7.2. This causes that Configure generates
mapping
fi utf-8
to elm.mimecharsets. However that seems to have
incorrect mapping. You may want change this to
fi ISO-8859-1

( however nl_langinfo(CODESET) gives charset ISO-8859-15
but look following entry. )

- Locale 'fi' seems to have charset ISO-8859-15 according
of nl_langinfo(CODESET) on Mandrake Linux 7.2 (and probaly
others with same glibc version). However for example gnome
terminal uses font
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1
and not
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-15

Also KDE's konsole program seems use iso8859-1 character set
although locale is 'fi' which should have ISO-8859-15 according
of nl_langinfo (selecting "unicode" from menu seems fix that.)

Because of mismatch more correct locale is fi_FI.88591, which gives
ISO-8859-1 character set according of nl_langinfo(CODESET).

( Locale seems come from /etc/sysconfig/i18n or $HOME/.i18n )

> To enable handling of ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15 character sets
on linux console, read comments from doc/terminal.info file.

- Mandrake Linux 7.2 seems set LD_PRELOAD to load
/usr/lib/libxalflaunch.so.0. That (xalf-0.4-2mdk) causes that
elm to crash on startup (actually before main() is reached.)

- kterm on Mandrake Linux 7.2 seems have (at least on my test
environment) seems get bad fontlist (*VT100*fontList) which
gives bad font for iso8859-1 -- therefore ISO-8859-1 characters
do not work.

("xrdb -query" seems report resource with name "*fontList"
-- that probably overrides "*VT100*fontList" which comes
from /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/KTerm )

- Also note that initially kterm does NOT default to
ISO-8859-1 -- therefore ISO-8859-1 works only when
elm explicity switch to ISO-8859-1 (for example
with 'elm -D ISO-8859-1')

- When assembling message/partial MIME (RFC 2046)
requires that all headers except Content-*, Subject,
MIME-Version, Message-ID and Encrypted are copied from
initial enclosing message to assembled message. It also
requires that headers except Content-*, Subject,
MIME-Version, Message-ID and Encrypted are ignored and
dropped from enclosed message.

For now we copy only Received: -headers. Dropping extra
headers from enclosed message makes assembly more
complicated (and dropping of Received: -headers
from enclosed message do not make sense.)

- mailer=sendmail; verify=yes works only when sendmail
is installed as setuid root. Use mailer=submission instead.
* Starting from sendmail 8.12 sendmail is normally
installed as setgid smmsp and not as setuid root.
- However error message is printed only if
verify-local-address=yes is also set

- IMAP connection is stalled some times. Reason is unknown.

- From name option (-f) on fastmail is currently broken.
