Yes sirs and maddams
I still can't communicate with the CVS but instead I am willing to submit
fixes as patches based on the b29 archive.
I am currently working on a new option for hypermail that does that evil
thing we didn't see any reason for in the past: 'spamprotect'. It translates
all @-letters in all email addresses into _at_. I know this may or may not be
a good way to stop spam, but my mailing list archives have turned out to be
notoriously good places for spammers to extract email addresses. Experiments
have been made to use unique email addresses there only, and they have later
received spam. I just have to attempt to do something about it. (this version
is test driving right now)
I also just corrected two bugs, both pretty serious. One of them was a core
dump and one was a really confused multipart/alternative parser thing.
I noticed a new bug that appears when there's a @-letter in a URL, since then
the mail-converter will translate the line *after* it was converted to a
href... :-/
