MailTools

Changes for version 1.44 - 2002-03-23

[Andreas Marcel Riechert] add -I to mailx for netbsd and openbsd too.
[Nate Mueller] Do respect user's X-Mailer in Mail::Internet above own line.
[Alexey Egorov] Header-line without body lost line-separator in Mail::Header.pm
[Bo Adler] and [Iosif Fettich] Found that I removed a blank before 'sub smtpsend' which caused AutoSplit to misbehave.
version 1.43: Fri Feb 8 09:43:25 CET 2002
- [Jason Burnett] Added debug option for Net::SMTP for Mail::Mail::smtp.
- [Slavan Rezic] + [Jonathan Stowe] Added eval around getpwuid, to avoid croak on Windows.
- [Slavan Rezic] minor doc update. The documentation is still poor.
- A lot of people complaint (and that after so many years that the module is active) about folder lines within words or strings. The mistake in the original implementation was that it tried to fold too hard; folding is a service, but no requirement. So: that overly active folding is removed now.
version 1.42: Mon Dec 10 19:22:01 CET 2001
- Moved examples from bin/ to examples/, so people may be able to find them.
- Mail::Util now also tries sendmail option S for domainname. Patched by [Todd R. Eigenschink]
- Included Debian changes by [Steve Kowalik]:
- Added Mail::Mailer::qmail
version 1.41: Wed Nov 14 10:35:57 CET 2001
- Mail::Util::maildomain did not expand variables. Fixed the regular expression. Reported by [Jean-Damien Durand]
- [Henrik Gemal] wished better warnings in Mail::Address::parse, which are provided now.
- [Lucas Nussbaum] reported incorrect folding of unstructured header lines. The whole idea of folder unstructured fields is flawed, as far as I know, but anyway noone apparantly had sufficient long subject fields to find-out ;) Fixed in Mail::Mailer.
version 1.40: Fri Aug 24 20:15:30 CEST 2001
- mailaddress defaults to username, not gcos in Mail/Util.pm Patched by [Vivek Khera]
- Increased all version-numbers to show that maintainer-address did change. Suggested by [Tassilo v Parseval]
  - All packages in this bundle with have the same version!!! The highest number used was 1.33.

- From now on MailTools will be maintained by Mark Overmeer <mailtools@overmeer.net>
- Updated all manual-pages to include address of new maintainer.
- Prohibition to modify header should be respected in Mail::Header. Patch by [Tatsuhiko Miyagawa]
- Securely close socket in Mail::Mailer::smtp. Patch by [Heikki Korpela]
- Fixed "bad file-descriptor" errors in Mail::Mailer::smtp. Patch by [Aaron J Mackey]
- Some long header-lines caused the following line in the header to be indented too. This should be fixed. Reported by [Simon Cozens]
- Small modifications to Mail::Mailer should make the module work for os2. Patch by [Ilya Zakharevich]
- Fix to be able to specify an index at the first addition of a header-line to the Mail::Header structure. Patch by [Lucas Fisher]
