   1 [TODO]
   2
   3 * Write different function to read configuration files, instead
   4   of using m_getfld.c
   5 * convert calls from sprintf/vsprintf to snprintf/vsnprintf
   6 * convert calls from getcpy to strdup
   7 * modularize access to context/profile list.
   8 * add command printm to print messages
   9 * finish changing to macros for msgstats and msgflags
  10 * Add support for Mail-Followup-To and Mail-Reply-To
  11 * Add support for profile entry "Mailing-Lists"
  12 * let mhn and mhl accept files on standard in, and output to
  13   standard out, when filtering files.
  14 * Add switch -more to `show' to call moreproc.
  15 * Add new command "show" at WhatNow? prompt.

  17 [POSSIBILITIES]
  18
  19 MAN PAGES
  20 ---------
  21 * Update mh-tailor man page.
  22 * generate mh-chart man page from other man pages
  23 * update default mode in man pages with sed
  24
  25 SEQUENCES
  26 ---------
  27 * Change so you can have more than 26 sequences.  Unfortunately,
  28   given the way that the bit flags for sequences work, this is
  29   not easy.
  30 * Maybe add option gracefully handle empty sequences (-force).
  31
  32 ENVIRONMENT/PROFILE
  33 -------------------
  34 * Maybe add profile entry "Pager" to change the default pager?
  35 * Should nmh check for EDITOR or PAGER environment variable?
  36
  37 POP
  38 ---
  39 * Clean up uip/spop.c (I dont' think it's needed any longer).
  40 * Need to decide if want to support APOP, RPOP, MPOP.  APOP
  41   and RPOP still work, but need autoconf support added.  Does
  42   anyone still use this stuff?
  43
  44 OPTIONS
  45 -------
  46 * change switches to accept two dashes (--help)
  47 * can we move option checking to its own function?  Currently each
  48   command is doing that itself.
  49 * make the option parsing code dynamic, so that there is no limit
  50   to the number of command line arguments (this has been done for
  51   most all the commands).
  52 * Add switch descriptions to -help output.
  53
  54 COMP
  55 ----
  56 *) add option so that prompter can be used to input addresses,
  57    before the real editor is called to edit message.
  58
  59 FLIST
  60 -----
  61 * add -format option so you can specify the look of the output
  62   of flist.
  63 * add Flist-Exclude profile component
  64
  65 FOLDER
  66 ------
  67 * add Folder-Order profile component (same as flist)
  68 * add Folder-Exclude profile component
  69
  70 FORMATS
  71 -------
  72 * add escape %(sequence{foobar}) to detect arbitrary sequences.
  73
  74 FORW
  75 ----
  76 * Decode RFC-2047 headers in messages included when replying
  77   or forwarding.
  78 * Merge code for forw and repl.
  79
  80 INC
  81 ---
  82 * Add ability to do filtering (call filterproc) when incorporating mail
  83 * Change inc to use libary function folder_addmsg().
  84
  85 MHBUILD
  86 -------
  87 * add ability to specify Content-Transfer-Encoding in composition
  88   drafts.
  89 * add support for Content-Disposition header (rfc1806).
  90 * remove the code for caching from mhbuild.
  91
  92 MHL
  93 ---
  94 * remove naming hack in mhlsbr.c for adios and done.
  95 * add ability to filter parts of the message by calling
  96   an external filtering program.
  97 * fix internal pager for mhl?
  98
  99 MHMAIL
 100 ------
 101 * add -attach option (send could use this).  This should
 102   be done by hooking in mhbuildsbr.c
 103
 104 MHN/MHSHOW/MHLIST/MHSTORE
 105 -------------------------
 106 * add way so user can tell mhn to use internal method for
 107   handling type, such as multipart/mixed.
 108 * add way so user can tell mhn to use a certain `proc' such
 109   as moreproc, for certain content types.
 110 * add support for Content-Disposition header (rfc1806).
 111 * merge the two places in which mhshowsbr.c reads display
 112   strings.
 113 * split mhn into mhshow, mhlist, mhstore, and mhcache.
 114 * when storing to a folder, should we save the folder context
 115   first, so that storage string of "+" stores to the new
 116   folder?
 117
 118 MSH
 119 ---
 120 * change conditional includes in msh.c to use termios.h
 121 * Add -version to mshcmd.c for each command.
 122 * Change msh to use mbox style files, instead of mmdf.  Add options -mbox,
 123   -mmdf to choose.
 124 *) There are couple calls to copyip() which should be changed to
 125    getarguments().  One problem is freeing the string getcopy'ed by
 126    getarguments().
 127
 128 PICK
 129 ----
 130 * split regex code out into library.
 131 * replace regex code with Henry Spencer's regex library.
 132
 133 POST
 134 ----
 135 * make -msgid the default
 136 * factor msgid code into own function
 137
 138 PROMPTER
 139 --------
 140 * maybe add ability to use prompter just for headers, and
 141   then use primary editor for editing message.
 142
 143 RCVSTORE
 144 --------
 145 * Change rcvstore so that it can store into multiple folders.
 146 * Add folder locking.
 147
 148 REPL
 149 ----
 150 * Decode RFC-2047 headers in messages included when replying
 151   or forwarding.
 152 * Merge code for forw and repl.
 153
 154 SEND/SENDSBR
 155 ------------
 156 * Maybe add `-server' and `-client' to documentation.
 157 * Add ability for returned messages from "send -push" to be
 158   in MIME format (this is actually a change in mhmail).
 159 * make -msgid the default.
 160 * Add RFC-2047 encoding support for out-going messages.  This
 161   will probably require hooking mhparse into sendsbr.c, and doing
 162   a complete MIME parsing.  Then all handling of Content encoding
 163   can be on the backend.
 164
 165 SLOCAL
 166 -----
 167 * Change slocal to use .slocalrc file, instead of .maildelivery?
 168 * Add ability to use regular expressions in header matching.
 169 * Add support for Berkeley db.
 170 * Clean up output from -debug option.
 171 * Add -debuglevel to control the amount of debug info that is output.
 172 * Add -debuglog to specify file to save debugging output.
 173 * Add -logfile (or -audit) to specify where to record info about successful
 174   deliveries.
 175
 176 VMH
 177 ---
 178 * Fix vmh (or remove it).  vmh seems to be using internal
 179   knowledge of curses.
 180
 181 MTA INTERFACE
 182 -------------
 183 * Fix locking code.  Add lockfile command.
 184 * Think about support for DSN (Delivery Status Notification)
 185 * Test nmh with qmail.  Add qmail's maildir format.
 186 * Relax restrictions on what can be done with headers in send/post.
 187 * figure out why smail.c and client.c need their own copies of
 188   getcpy, copyip, etc... (funny linking problem)
 189
 190 GENERAL
 191 -------
 192 * see if the various versions of copyfile and copyf can be
 193   merged.
 194 * change time functions to use POSIX functions by default.
 195 * Add MH-6.8.4 features into nmh (mostly done).
 196 * Maybe should move etcpath to sbr and add to libmh.
 197 * collect winsize, struct termio, etc... together into a ttyinfo
 198   structure.
 199 * change adios to take exit code argument.
 200 * use wait3 if not waitpid (maybe)
 201 * some of the calls to setjmp/longjmp should be replaced with
 202   sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
 203 * When do we need to add -lresolv for SunOS 4.1.x?
 204 * replace use of getcpy with strdup.
 205 * replace use of ftell with fgetpos.
