prayer for Debian
2
-----------------
3
 
4
The Debian version of Prayer is built with SSL support with session
5
cache using libdb4.3, gzip Content-Transfer-Encoding, LDAP, and System
6
V mutex support. Some bigger and some smaller changes have been made:
7
 
8
 * As the upstream web page explains, "Prayer was designed to work
9
   with the Washington IMAP server, which has the most problems
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.
15
 
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
19
   currently in experimental.
20
 
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
26
   ends every base64-encoded sequence in UTF-7.
27
 
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
34
   text, as are overlong encoded words.
35
 
36
 
37
Quirks:
38
 
39
 * If your IMAP server supports STARTTLS, then Prayer (actually the
40
   libc-client IMAP client library) will use it automatically and it
41
   can't be turned off. Make sure that the server name you specify for
42
   imapd_server in prayer.cf matches the Common Name in the SSL
43
   certificate; otherwise libc-client will refuse to accept it.
44
 
45
 * If your IMAP server is Dovecot, then you must change
46
   prefs_folder_name to something not containing a dot. Unfortunately
47
   this means that the preference folder will be fully visible.
