Compile error 21.0.67 on X11R6.4 and SunOS4.1.3_U1 25 years

Atsushi Kuroda

I had compilation errors on X11R6.4 and SunOS4.1.3_U1. Do I need any 'locale' package in my env.? Thank you very much for your information.

I agree with John, this wouldn't win us that much speed.

Probably not, the imap parser isn't the bottleneck so replacing that wouldn't improve much. The main bottleneck in nnimap/gnus right now is imho that it takes a long time to check for new mail. No other imap clients I've tested does this at all, so perhaps we can make that part optional. (It can also be made faster by using a different strategy). The major bottleneck would then be that it takes a long time to enter a folder, this is impossible to fix without heavy modifications of Gnus, and for me this isn't a major problem anyway (entering a folder with ~1200 articles takes ~25 seconds with 9s spent in nnimap for me. I can live with that). Do you agree with my observations of where the bottlenecks are? Which things in nnimap are slow for you?

pop3.el - treating "From " at the beginning of lines 25 years

Dmitry Yaitskov

Hi, With XEmacs 21.2 \"Demeter\" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32), pop3.el Version: 2.03 from the latest(?) mail-lib package, I had the following problem. In my setup, pgnus .80 reads mail from pop3, using pop3-movemail from mail-lib package's pop3.el. A message came in containing the following lines in its body: ---start qote--- |might want to try it and see how it fares. It's an 80KB download. | |From that webpage: |"Features: ---end qote--- The line starting with 'From' was interpreted by gnus as the start of a new message (which is AFAIK indeed that in mbox format) resulting in mail screwup (and loss). Below is my fix for pop3.el. I am *not* sure I put it in the right place, although it seems to work. People more knowledgeable about this code are welcome to fix the fix. The problem is real though. ----------------------------cut here------------------------------- --- e:\bin\XEmacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\mail-lib\pop3.el Mon Mar 08 22:36:12 1999 +++ pop3.el Mon Mar 29 12:39:59 1999 ＠＠ -310,9 +310,17 ＠＠ (defun pop3-clean-region (start end) "Convert MS-DOG style line endings to normal line endings. -Also remove '.' from the beginning of lines." +Also remove '.' from the beginning of lines. +Also escape 'From ' at the beginning of lines with '>'."

A first pass of this could be to try and use a c-client based stub program in a subprocess. The nice thing about having all the nnimap stuff done in lisp is that things like my socks.el library or ssl.el can be used as well to modify how the connection is made. -Bill P.

I'm very dubious as to the effectiveness of this. The only win would be on message parsing speed. I expect c-client would be able to do a bit better of a job than emacs at this, but in my experience, it's not that great. Where pine really wins is not in using c-client per se, but in using "virtual scrollbars". It only fetches the headers for the page you're looking at now rather than all of the pages of header info. Take a look at mutt for an example of a curses-based imap reader that doesn't do this. Take a look at various c-client based X clients to see how not to use c-client successfully for this purpose. Finally, it's been my experience that c-client is more than a bit on the ugly side. If this imap-parsing-speaking tool were to be written, it'd probably be better to write something from scratch that talks IMAP on one end and elisp on the other, rather than basing on c-client.

You have my blessing. I fought for the same thing. Not to mention that the image mode is broken in other ways (such as not allowing me to normally edit an XPM -- I had to use vi for that!)
