- | |
| 9 | with the Washington IMAP server, which has the most problems |
7 | experimental distribution, was heavily patched to add UTF-8 and IPv6 |
| 10 | associated with transient IMAP connections. Consequently, the user |
- | |
| 11 | interface distinguishes between mailboxes and directories: this will |
- | |
| 12 | not work well with servers which provide dual use mail folders." |
- | |
| 13 | A simple patch from Jonathan McDowell at least makes leaf folders |
- | |
| 14 | be treated as folders. |

| 16 | * This packaging adds IPv6 support. However, prayer-session uses |
- | |
| 17 | libc-client to connect to the IMAP server, and IPv6 support can only |
- | |
| 18 | be achieved there by building with the version of libc-client |
8 | support among other things. All that has been incorporated and |
| 19 | currently in experimental. |

| 21 | * This packaging adds international character support, including |
- | |
| 22 | encoding and decoding of modified-UTF-7-encoded folder |
- | |
| 23 | names. However, the folder filter still works on the UTF-7 level, |
- | |
| 24 | meaning, for example, that a "-" will match any folder with an |
- | |
| 25 | encoded character in it, since "-" is the shift-out character that |

| 28 | Where it was hardwired to ISO-8859-1 it has been re-wired to UTF-8, |

| 29 | but I may have missed some spots and ISO-8859-1 is still the hardcoded |
- | |
| 30 | fallback character set. |
- | |
| 31 | - | ||
| 32 | * The decoding of RFC2047 encoded words has been relaxed, accommodating |
- | |
| 33 | to some common encoding errors: spaces are accepted in the encoded |
10 | to default configuration regarding directory structure, and minor |
| 34 | text, as are overlong encoded words. |
