MFMail
MFMail is a simple Python-program to mail one or more files
from the command-line as a MIME-multipart message.
I wrote it because I wanted to mail binary files from a shell and
have them displayed in a nice way in mail-clients. (JPEG as inline
images, for example)
Please mail me what you think about it. Until now, I only received
a few bug-reports. I don't believe my code is almost bug-free,
so please mail me. Of course I'd also like to
know it if you do like my proggie ;-)
You can mail me at remi@abcweb.nl

Just a quick note that I'm still alive.
mfmail 0.6 is coming RSN(tm) (within a few months,
if everything goes well ;-)
Among others, it'll be split into two modules
and a main program, use Python's distutils and be available
in both a .tar.gz and an RPM version.

Released version 0.5.1. A one-line showstopper bugfix.
|
| 11-17-2000 |
Released version 0.5.0. If it breaks, use the source, mail me
or wait for 0.6.0 (Which should be following soon)
|
| 8-4-2000 |
Released version 0.4.1
|
| 7-19-2000 |
Going on holiday. I probably won't have internet access
for two weeks.
|
| 7-18-2000 |
Released version 0.4.0
This version is a complete rewrite and not well tested.
I wouldn't trust my mission-critical data to it.
It probably won't eat your data and start World War III,
but it may suddenly start sending obscene mails to your lover
and threatening letters to the NSA ;-)

Changelog
|
|
| 0.5.1 |
| Fixed a bug which made it crash when one of
the config-files didn't exist. |
|
| 0.5.0 |
|
Removed comment about security issues with
mktemp(3) creating files with mode 666.
tempfile.mktemp() doesn't even create
files ;-) |
|
Changed encoding support. `plain' doesn't
exist anymore. You can now choose between `7bit', `8bit',
`binary', `base64' and `quoted-printable'. |
|
Changed global config variables and the MailOptions into
global static GeneralOptions and MailOptions
classes. |
|
Added --debug option (which isn't ready for
primetime yet) |
|
Added `addressbook'-section in ~/.mfmailrc |
|
Switched read_config_file() from just calling fail()
to exceptions. |
|
Added code to detect duplicate sections/variables in
the configuration file. |
|
| 0.4.1 |
| Changed a lot of out of date comments. |
| Added a FAQ. (Probably not very useful yet) |
| Previously, after creating the whole message, a pipe
was setup to a sendmail process and the message was written to it.
Now, sendmail is called with it's stdin connected to the file,
which makes it more efficient.
(We don't copy the entire file through the pipe)
|
|
| 0.4.0 |
| Complete rewrite |
| Lots of things not mentioned below. |
| Added options for encoding |
| Removed a few statements with made it fail with
older Python versions. |
| Extended the options you can use in the
config-file |
| Made a lot of backward incompatible changes. |
| Removed special-case for no-files-specified.
(IOW: If you don't specify any files on the commandline,
you'll get an error) |
| Multiple -f/--from flags now override each other.
A -f/--from option overrides the default from the config-file too.
(-c/--cc has the semantics of -f/--from, multiple -b/--bcc options
are still concatenated. |
