- SPLITDIGEST 2.3
- ---------------
-
-
- What is it?
- -----------
-
- Splitdigest undigests a mail folder which may contain one or more digest
- files concatenated together. The result is that each of digest files are
- extracted into its own file and placed into a form suitable for reading with
- a mail user agent (such as with "mail -f" or "elm -f"). Each message in the
- extracted digests can then be read and replied to individually.
-
- Splitdigest can be easily extended to handle a variety of digest files
- simultaneously simply by modifying its configuration file. No recompilation
- is required. At present, splitdigest comes preconfigured to handle digests
- sent by vger.rutgers.edu, news-digests.mit.edu, the ANNOUNCE, GCC and KERNEL
- channel digest of linux-activists and the MSDOS-Ann and Garbo-Ann digests.
-
- This is a useful program to have if you are on mailing lists that distribute
- their mail in digest formats. Splitdigest allows you to read and reply to
- messages in those digests on an individual basis, thus making reading and
- replying to mail in such digests more pleasant.
-
-
- What's new in 2.3
- -----------------
- 1. Splitdigest now does not copy the "Content-Length: " header to the
- output file when undigesting. It has been reported that the header
- confuses some mail user agents when dealing with the undigested folder,
- since the length of the undigested folder has actually changed.
- 2. Updated the documentation.
-
-
- Where To Find It
- ----------------
-
- I have uploaded splitdigest-2.3.tar.gz to sunsite.unc.edu. It is (at the
- date of this notice) probably in the /pub/Linux/Incoming directory.
- I suppose that it will be moved to
- /pub/Linux/system/Mail/mailhandlers/
- to replace splitdigest-2.2.tar.gz
