WMMail.app-0.63 README
======================

$Id: README,v 1.12 1999/03/29 13:05:45 bryan.chan Exp $



SYNOPSIS

  WMMail.app is a "mail-checker" like xbiff. It is largely based on
  asmail, but has been modified to work with Window Maker instead of
  AfterStep.

  WMMail.app should be considered alpha software that contains a million
  bugs. It should not cause a lot of harm to your system, but if it
  does, fix it and send me a patch.

  See Help.txt for more information on how to use WMMail.app, how to
  edit its defaults domain (i.e. configuration file), etc.

  Be sure to read NEWS for more news.



KNOWN BUGS

  1. The man page (wmmail.man) is obsolete. Do not even bother reading
     it.

  2. Help.txt does not exist; there is no documentation on what the
     defaults domain should look like (other than WMMail.defaults and
     the source code itself).

  3. POP3 is not fully supported. Hopefully soon. (One can always
     hope.)

  4. ExecuteOnNewOnce (previously AlwaysNewMailExecute) is still broken.

  5. ExecuteOnUpdate is still broken.

  6. With some weird, old combination of OS and X Window, e.g. Solaris
     with X11R5, SunOS with OpenWindows, etc., the WMMail application
     icon may not show up when the program is run. If this is the case
     for you, add the following line to your 
     ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes:

       WMMail = { EmulateAppIcon = Yes; };
     


TODO

  1. Fix support for checking POP3 mailboxes.

  2. Implement GUI-based configuration, a la WPrefs of Window Maker.

  3. Write documentation!

  4. Rip menu code from Window Maker and make WMMail draw its own pop-up
     menus.

  5. Add XBuffy-like features.

  6. Minimize code bloat by moving more from the core into the optional
     mailbox format-specific modules
