Mailing List Archive: mess822x package

Hello,

everyone still listening here ;-)

I've updated DJB's mess822 package to

- comply with /shashpackage installation,
- based on my fehQlibs [https://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/qlibs.html], and
- including some fixes/improvements to parse the mail header due to changes which happened since Dan published version 0.58 of his package (in 1998).

=> https://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/mess822x.html

Further, the current leap seconds are considered [https://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/mess822x/leapsecs.txt]

It seems, that unlike the previous years it might be necessary to include a negative leap second ;-)

NTP might fail to consider this, while TAI is able to care about it.

Regards.

I loved the idea of prepending a Header value with plus sign ('+') to
fetch all headers which match the field. e.g. +Arc fetches headers
ARC-Seal, ARC-Message-Signature, ARC-Authentication-Results. Thank you
for this improvement and other changes to mess822.

When you display multiple headers like the above, we should have the
Header name also included in the display, else it is difficult to know
which value corresponds to which header. It's a trivial change to
mess822_line.c and I will send the modifications, if you think it can
be taken care of in the next version.
