spost problems (Dcc and intelligent sigs)

1998-02-11 11:13:20
Hi, Richard.  I've just encountered a couple of problems with using 
"postproc: /.../spost" in .mh_profile:

 [ SunOS client15.comlab 5.5.1 Generic sun4c sparc SUNW,Sun_4_40, nmh-0.17 ]

  - it appears that it causes "Dcc" not to be honoured; I've done some 
    fairly thorough tests, and without the postproc line Dcc works as 
    expected, but with the postproc line it seems to be ignored and copied 
    verbatim into the sent message.

  - it _completely_ changes the output format of "whom".  Without the 
    postproc line, whom gives output something like:

      -- Local Recipients --
      harry
      -- Network Recipients --
      fred at no.where.org

    whereas with the postproc line it gives:

      fred(_at_)no(_dot_)where(_dot_)org(_dot_)(_dot_)(_dot_) deliverable: 
mailer ether, host mail.comlab.ox.ac.uk, user fred(_at_)no(_dot_)where(_dot_)org

    This has been causing merry havoc with my signatures, because the exmh 
    intelligent sig code expects output of the first form.  Is this a new 
    nmh thing, or had I just not noticed it in my MH days?

I also suspect that it's having a strange effect on our sendmail header
rewriting here (causing my mail to go out from 
"cjk(_at_)comlab(_dot_)ox(_dot_)ac(_dot_)uk"
instead of being rewritten to 
"Chris(_dot_)Keane(_at_)comlab(_dot_)ox(_dot_)ac(_dot_)uk"), although I
don't have any further info on that.

Thanks,

Chris.
