Log Message:
Update of mail/nail to 11.5.
Full list of changes:
* A new message addressing mode '(criteria)' is now available. It uses the
IMAP SEARCH command if possible, and otherwise performs the equivalent
actions locally. This addressing mode is of interest even for those people
who do not use IMAP with nail because it adds powerful generic search
methods, such as a way to search within message bodies.
* The 'folders' command now really works with IMAP accounts. It also accepts
an argument to list the subfolders of a specific folder.
* The new 'headline' variable allows to customize the columns in the header
summary.
* The new 'attrlist' variable allows to customize the attributes column in
the header summary.
* The message flags 'Flagged' (F), 'Answered' (A), and 'Draft' (T) are now
available, for IMAP mailboxes as well as for local folders. See the 'flag',
'unflag', 'answered', 'unanswered', 'draft', and 'undraft' commands and the
'markanswered' variable.
* The 'kill'/'unkill'/'score' commands were added to make messages invisible
on the user's wish.
* It is now possible to define sequences of commands as macros, see the
'define', 'call', and 'undef' commands. Macros can also be automatically
invoked when a folder is opened using the 'folder-hook' and
'folder-hook-fullname' variables.
* The new 'move' and 'Move' commands mark messages for deletion when they
have been successfully transferred to the target folder.
* The new addressing mode '`' selects all messages that were included in the
message list to the previous command.
* The combination of the previous additions allows a score/filter file to be
set up; this is described in the EXAMPLES section of the manual page.
* New 'noop' command to send NOOP to POP3 or IMAP servers.
* The IMAP UIDPLUS extension (RFC 2359) is now used if available on the
server. It speeds up the IMAP cache when copying messages to IMAP folders;
the message is copied directly to the cached target folder then and does
not need to be downloaded again when it is accessed there.
* When an IMAP SELECT command fails and a connection to a folder that is
not located on the same server is made afterwards, the connection to
the old server is properly terminated now.
* Command lines like 'nail -A imap -f @mailbox' now work.
* IMAP or POP3 user names that contain an '@' character, such as 'foo@bar'
in 'imap://foo@bar@hostname', are now handled (Bugreport by Lars
Kellogg-Stedman).
* If the 'autoinc'/'newmail' variables are set and new mail arrives in
threaded/sorted mode, no summary of old headers is printed anymore.
* If new mail arrives and messages are expunged on an IMAP server at the same
time, all of the new messages are now announced correctly.
* The 'inc'/'newmail' commands now set the current message to the first new
message again. This undoes the change made for version 11.1.
* When the 'autoinc'/'newmail' variables are set and new mail arrives, the
'next' command or enter key prints the next message as usual if the current
one has been printed; it printed the current message again in this situation.
* IMAP performance improvement: When new mail arrives, or when messages have
been expunged, metadata is fetched only for the new messages, instead of
fetching it for all messages in the folder again as it was done before.
* IMAP performance improvement: If the header of a message was already
fetched from an IMAP server, nail now uses 'BODY.PEEK[TEXT]' when
fetching the whole message and does not download it again.
* IMAP performance improvement: The CLOSE command is now used instead of
EXPUNGE when a mailbox is quit.
* Cached IMAP performance improvement: When a mailbox is opened and messages
are cached, their sizes and internal dates are taken from the cache.
* The wcwidth() library function is now used to determine the width of
multibyte characters if it is available.
* If $MAIL does not exist and 'emptystart' is set, a proper error message
is printed now, and a following 'account' command succeeds.
* The SSL code compiles with older versions of OpenSSL (e.g. 0.9.6b) again
(Bugreport by Lutz Horn).
