Re: Edit Mail Configuration plugin

[Chris W. <c.d...@re...>]

Did you get a chance to look at the plugin? I know you were very busy last 
weekend with the release of 0.5. Do you think it has too limited an audience 
(being for UNIX and needing ftp compiled into PHP etc.)?

I've since modified a copy of your filters plugin to produce an Exim config 
file for server-side filtering. However, I think that will be interesting 
for a vanishingly small group of people (Exim + UNIX + ftp compiled into PHP 
etc. ;-)).

I think I'm likely to lose the battle to make SquirrelMail the webmail 
client for this academic year. The roxen-based IMHO is likely to win in the 
short term as it is quite robust and uses persistent IMAP connections. 
However, it is not being actively developed, as far as I can tell.

In the longer term, the competition is WING, a perl-based client written by 
Oxford University and in use in several other UK universities (again, using 
persistent IMAP). It looks like a real pain to install, though.

What really impresses me with SquirrelMail is the plugin ability and its 
rapid development. I'm hoping my plugins might persuade the powers that be 
that SquirrelMail is the way to go ...

Best Wishes,
Chris

New Revisions

[Tyler A. <ty...@bo...>]

Time for my weekly set of changes

abook_take:
  * Cleaned up HTML

bug_report:
  * It now lets you pick which list to send the bug report to
  * Link in bar on top now has spaces after it and looks like the rest

gzip:
  * No longer requires temporary file if you have zlib (YEAY)

translate:
  * HTML cleanup

I also altered the filters plugin (and sent it to Luke) to have automatic spam filters.  They use MAPS (RBL, RSS, DUL) and ORBS.  You get to decide which ones to apply and where the spam messages go.  It could be sped up, and I'll take care of that later.  If it looks good to Luke, it'll be released soon.

I am also almost done with another plugin, mail_fetch, which will probably act a lot like IMP's Fetchmail function.

Hmmmmm....... This works fine for me in both 4.73 and 4.75 on linux. I don't
have a windows box to test with but I am not doing anything other than spitting
out html at this point so I can't see what difference a browser makes. One of
the big reasons blank pages come up in NS is broken HTML output like missing
cell, row, or table tags. But like I said it works for me.

> I can reproduce the bug by:

I am assumming before you did this you selected a file to import? Without doing
that it spits out tons of errors. I haven't gotten that worked out yet because
of the complicated multipass method I use to rearrange the fields.

Maybe this is your problem. I see that you have the original plugin that only
imports along with the new one that imports and exports. Reomve the old one and
see if that helps.

This is a limitation of PHP at this point. Pallo is considering writing a PHP4
persistent function to put into the PHP source.

Edit Mail Configuration plugin

[Chris W. <c.d...@re...>]

I've written a plugin that enables UNIX users to edit their configuration 
files for such things as mail forwarding and vacation messages. It uses FTP 
to transfer the files.

I haven't tested it in anger, but it seems to do the job for our Exim 
installation. It's also my first attempt at PHP programming, so it may be 
buggy.

Let me know what you think!
Chris

P.S. We're doing an evaluation of webmail clients here in Reading, and 
SquirrelMail is my personal favourite. The only downside is that it doesn't 
use persistent IMAP connections (yet?).

> We've established a test environment and set to check out the program.  I am just wondering whether we can do some modifications to these codes or we must get your approval. The reason to do so is that we found under current config, the exported addressbook could not be recognized by Outlook Express because all fields in abook are separated by symbol "|" instead of ",". Is there a patch can fix it?

No, you don't need anyones approval.
The export can be changed without to much work.
There is a line in the file addressbook_export.php that reads:

$content=fread($fp,filesize($filename));

After that put this:

$content_modified = str_replace("|", ",", $content");

This will output the file with commas instead of the SquirrelMail internal
format of the " | ".

Hmm, checked, and it the ENCYTPE was in compose.php, so I took it out,
and it still does the same thing.  I just think that my browser is
somehow messed up.  I'm not to worried about it, as long as it works
fine for everyone else, and if I reload, it works for me.  Oh well.

No, this doesn't apply. When SquirrelSpell first loads, it grabs the
contents of the Compose form with JavaScript and then submits its own
form, which has no ENCTYPE. I would think that a good Netscape reinstall
will solve the problem (I suspect that the onLoad() function doesn't get
called for whatever reason. Your guess is as good as mine).

Re: squirrelspell issues.

[Luke E. <leh...@cs...>]

I have had this many many many times with the compose form.  I found that
sometimes Netscape doesn't like ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data".  Try changing
the form tag to remove that (if it's in there) and see if that helps.  I
have never gotten around that problem in compose, because when I remove it,
I can't upload attachments, but with it in there, Netscape doesn't respond
-- exactly like you described.

Hmmm... Strange -- I wrote it on Linux' Netscape and it's working for
me. What you can do is check whether any javascript errors are
generated. Type in "javascript:" into your "location" field, which
should open the javascript console. Then try to spellcheck your
message. When it hangs like you say, check the console window -- if it
mentions any errors, please let me know what exactly it is and I will
take a look at it.

Right away I don't see the need for this. You already have the address in
one of your available addressbooks, why would you need it in two of them?
Do you have an example of when/how this would be useful?

New Plugin (ABook_Take)

[<ty...@bo...>]

With luck, this plugin will remove one of the items on the list of things to do...  Add "Add sender address to address book" while viewing message

This plugin will steal the email address from a message you're reading, allowing you to save time when adding someone new to your address book.  It searches the To, CC, From fields as well as the body of your message.  There are configuration controls on the Display options page.

I would love feedback on this.  I am curious if I should move the drop-down list to the "take.php" form instead of having it on the read_body.php page.

I would also like to point out a minor typo on the plugins.txt file.  The "options_display_sav" should have an e after it.  (In the big list of hooks.)

One of the things that would make this plugin and the translation plugin a bit nicer is the ability to take the body of the message verbatim, before the &nbsp; tags, before the line wrapping, before the "Download" link is added, before HTML tags (<tt>, for instance) are added.  Is this possible easily?
