Feedback on 2b13

Hello, all,

Here's my current feedback on 2b13, compiled on Solaris 2.5 with gcc
version 2.7.2.3:

Archive: http://www.wildheart.org/archives/beta-horse/
mbox: http://www.wildheart.org/archives/beta-horse/model-horse (126K)
.hmrc: http://www.wildheart.org/archives/beta-horse/.hmrc

Configured/compiled as is.

Archived existing mbox archived with:

        #!/bin/sh
        #/bin/rm -f /home/minerva/public_html/archives/beta-horse/*.html
 
        /home/minerva/bin/hypermail-2b13 -x -p \
          -m "/home/minerva/mail/model-horse" \
          -l "TEST Haynet Archives" \
          -c "/home/minerva/public_html/archives/beta-horse/.hmrc" \
          -d "/home/minerva/public_html/archives/beta-horse"

Archive then updated "realtime" via procmail with:

        |/home/minerva/bin/hypermail-2b13 -i -u \
          -l "TEST Archives: Model Horse" \
          -c "/home/minerva/public_html/archives/beta-horse/.hmrc" \
          -d "/home/minerva/public_html/archives/beta-horse/" \
          -b "http://www.wildheart.org/haynet/" \
          -a "http://www.wildheart.org/archives/"

The bad news:

    -x does NOT delete .html's in the archive directory so then the second
        time I archive the whole mbox, I get two of everything, the third
        time I get three of everything, etc.

    (hence the rm -f from above used hereafter)

    see: http://www.wildheart.org/archives/beta-horse/0000.html:
        email address not correct: <janisw@6> (top and bottom of page)
        email address not converted into an URL <janisw@6> (top/bottom of page)
        email addresses in "footer" not correct
        email addresses in "footer" not converted into URLs

Minor annoyance(s):

    Once the archive was generated from an existing mbox, updates to the
    same archive via procmail caused the message total to be wrong (doubled
    plus one, I think)

Good news:

    URLs with "&" are converted correctly
    This is almost a workable version (for me)

Current feature requests:

    file locking

Cheers,
~d
