This is not a prioritized list. Patches that accomplish
|
|
these todo items are welcome.
|
|
|
|
* Config file rewrite
|
|
The current configuration file has the following problems
|
|
** # comments make #'s unsuitable for passwords.
|
|
** : and @ delimiters make such characters unsuitable for
|
|
passwords.
|
|
** the hierarchical configuration is not exported cleanly,
|
|
setting a default and then propagating or overriding it
|
|
requires an odd syntax.
|
|
** elements with spaces are problematic
|
|
** annotations / customizations (such as the authentication
|
|
methods) are cumbersome.
|
|
** continuation lines would allow richer shell actions without
|
|
external shell scripts.
|
|
* GNUTLS 0.5.9
|
|
** adds gnutls_set_default_priority, which could clean up
|
|
a lot of the code to set priorities for ciphers that
|
|
don't really matter to wmbiff.
|
|
* Font support
|
|
** Erase counts > 1000 successfully (redraw the whole line)
|
|
** Discover height of the font, scale appropriately.
|
|
** Draw relative to symbolic width, height.
|
|
* Finish checking .wmbiffrc permissions.
|
|
With shell command execution support, it is even more
|
|
important to protect against other/group writability.
|
|
With passwords in the .wmbiffrc, .wmbiffrc shouldn't be
|
|
readable. It might be best to complain all the time, but
|
|
only abort when a password is used from a readable file,
|
|
or a shell command is executed from a writable file.
|
|
* Better timeout handling
|
|
Sometimes my IMAP server is slow... well, it's my fault
|
|
that I keep a few thousand messages on it. The current
|
|
timeout code will cause it to fail prematurely.
|
|
* Generic constructors for mboxes.
|
|
There's some common code across different Clients;
|
|
this is one piece that could use refactoring.
|
|
* Add more shell "recipes" besides gicu.
|
|
Just added 'finger'. I'm hoping to add something to
|
|
integrate 'remind' just as soon as I can figure it out.
|
|
* Support on/off status LED's, for, for example,
|
|
grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | wc -l
|
|
The colored LED's are already in WMBiff's pixmap.
|
|
* Support buttons 4 and 5
|
|
The mousewheel could be useful for some behaviors, like
|
|
controlling volume, or selecting different mailboxes.
|
|
* Use a helper program to blink keyboard led's.
|
|
Requires killing the 'notify' program when new mail no
|
|
longer exists. Keyboard blinking is done via a helper
|
|
program because it requires root. ledcontrol seems ok,
|
|
but extra complicated, and has a useless default install
|
|
that requires root. xbuffy's led program seems quite
|
|
good, but depending on another biff program seems odd.
|
|
* Add a failure-expect case in tlsComm.
|
|
For example, an IMAP status query has a good response (*
|
|
STATUS) and a bad response (a003 NO STATUS). As soon as
|
|
one of them is received, we're done.
|
|
* Reload .wmbiffrc when it changes
|
|
This is straightforward, except for IMAP mailboxes that
|
|
keep a connection to the server open. A close function
|
|
will have to be implemented to shut those down gracefully.
|
|
Do not involve sighup or any other signals. Use or
|
|
improve fileHasChanged().
|
|
* Runtime back-tick expansion for non-mbox
|
|
Because interesting mailboxes can be defined by date,
|
|
though its not clear any other clients can take advantage.
|
|
* Support GSSAPI or SASL authentication
|
|
Authentication using krb5 would be sweet.
|
|
|
|
* Unlikely to get done, unless someone volunteers:
|
|
* KDE/Gnome users: Test with KDE or gnome-panel
|
|
Does Debian bug #108529 apply to wmbiff? Can wmbiff
|
|
be swallowed by gnome-panel? It seems possible. It
|
|
appears to be swallowed by FVWM correctly.
|
|
* Autoconf / Automake Wizards: fix FromCVS.sh
|
|
How best to deal with libgnutls's macros? All
|
|
I can do is hack.
|
|
* Paranoid Pop People: Support POP over TLS.
|
|
tlsComm.c should make it easy to provide TLS support
|
|
for POP. Unfortunately, this would only be useful for
|
|
someone who has such a server that doesn't support IMAPS.
|
|
* MH support
|
|
Try "path.n=shell:::ls -1 directoryname | wc -l".
|
|
If it works, tell us. Optionally the patch at sourceforge
|
|
could be integrated.
|
|
* Recursive maildir support
|
|
Aggregation in general is an oft-desired feature.
|
|
* G-Mail support
|
|
Though the business model of free mail forces screen scrubbing,
|
|
having someone else write and maintain the interface seems
|
|
like it would significantly improve the utility of gmail.
