Hi, Is there any activity on mailcrypt maintenance? I see patches, and I see CVS commits about a year ago, and about 4 weeks ago. But no emails on this list... :( In particular, I would be interested if anybody has tested the MIME patch that's available since March. And if somebody looks at the bug tickets; i.e., if it's sensible to open new ones. Cheers, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Joachim The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the Rödermark, Germany one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" <js...@ac...> (I found it!) but "That's funny..."

But no emails on this list... :( While not dead, it *is* pretty slow around here these days. I need to make a 3.5.9 release to get everything in CVS out the door, but in general there hasn't been a lot of pressure to add features, so consequently there hasn't been a lot of work on new releases. > In particular, I would be interested if anybody has tested > the MIME patch that's available since March. > And if somebody looks at the bug tickets; i.e., if it's sensible to > open new ones. I haven't heard any reports on that one. My hunch is that MIME requires a bit more infrastructure that isn't common across MUA modes, so Mailcrypt is not in the greatest of positions to do a very good job. But I'm happy to be proven wrong. Please do file bug reports, I think far more people read them and find them useful than is evidenced by the peaceful quiet that fills the mailing list :). Even if they don't get fixed very quickly, they form a locus around which discussion and potential workarounds can accumulate. cheers, -Brian (of course, I would also welcome anybody who would like to help out with maintenance.. I still use mailcrypt on occasion but perhaps there is someone out there who is using it more frequently than I am who could be doing a better job with the project than I've been. Let me know.) |
