This program was originally written in December 2000. Then a total
redesign was made, which was released in December 2001.
The file TODO.v2 lists holes in the current implementation. In this file,
more long-term plans are listed.
Plans for the (near?) future:
* Thread lint
Currently, threads are only detected based on some fields in the
message header which are dedicated for this (the In-Reply-To and
the References field), however, there are many more ways to
try to correct things if these are not present.
If a message does not contain the two mentioned fields, then look
for a message which is at most a few days younger, whose sender is
in the recipient-list of the current message, and where parts of
the message are quoted (preceded by some symbols).
* Persistent external files
Extracting large message-parts into persistent external files.
Mime::Entity puts attachments in external files during parsing. When
the message is put in a folder again, the content is glued back into
the folder. It should be nice to keep them external, such that the
folder-file is much smaller, and parsing done quickly.
* Many more folder-types
I have a long wishlist of older-types. However, my knowledge on how
they work is limited. Furthermore, I do not have test-data on them.
- Emaul (? for compatibly with Mail::Folder)
- News NNTP
- Outlook writting... (reading is already available in ::Dbx)
- Exchange
- Netscape
- Zip Compressed folders
- Encrypt
- DBI Database
Any more?
One of the main reasons that these are not implemented, is that my
knowledge on how they work is insufficient.
* Maildir quota
* Cooperation with OpenPGP
* MD5 checksums and more
