Prompted by a message from yesterday, I've tidied up my feature patches
for majordomo and ensured they are all made against 1.94.3.

They are all freely available from:
    ftp://ftp.amulation.com/pub/majordomo_patches/

Descriptions follow. Listed in order of usefulness!


rm_digest.patch            3076 bytes
   adds the functionality promised by digest_rm_fronter and
   digest_rm_footer, but never implemented.
  
   Fronters and footers are removed from each message in the digest
   only at the time the digest is compiled, so if the message_fronter
   and message_footer from the non-digest list have been changed since
   the last digest was made, only those messages with the current fronters
   and footers will have them successfully removed.


mime_digest.patch          6037 bytes
   Modifies digest to implement MIME digest of the type
   multipart/mime. The boundary is the same as the old RFC-1153
   type message separator, co compatibility is assured. However,
   MIME headers are also retained for each message, which may, in
   some bizarre circumstances, cause problems.
  
   MIME-ification it controlled via the new list config setting
   digest_mime (boolean), or via additional command line option -M.
   digest_mime must be set if you want mkdigest to produce MIME
   digests.
  
   message_fronter will appear at the foot of the first (index)
   part if MIME features are invoked.


quote_lines.patch          4106 bytes
   Features to either 'warn' or 'bounce' messages to a list
   based on quantity of quoted material.
  
   Quoting is defined/detected using a simple regexp:
    /^[>|  :}]/
  
   Per list configurable. max_quoted_pc defines the threshold
   (as a percentage) at which the feature is invoked.
   exceed_quoted_warn defines the action: "bounce" signifies the
   message should be bounced (unless approved) to list-admin;
   anything else in this field is printed verbatim at the foot of
   offending messages. The usual tokens are expanded.


archive_chmod.patch         480 bytes
   Modifies archive2.pl to ensure archives are
   world readable. Useful for ftp archives.
  
   Use only with lists whose get_access is open


subject_prefix.patch       1089 bytes
   More advanced prepending of subject_prefix
  
   Correct far-too-clever mailers that do this
    [PREFIX] Re: Subject
   to
    Re: [PREFIX] Subject
  
   Zaps any occurrence of [PREFIX] in the subject before commencing to ensure
   subjects like:
    New Subjects (was Re: [PREFIX] Subject)
   get written as:
    [PREFIX] New Subject (was Re: Subject)


list_name_help.patch        616 bytes
   Modifies majordomo to give a hint if someone uses an incorrect
   listname ending -1 or -i or -I. A common mistake for sites that
   use the convention of listnames ending in -l (lower case 'L')


bounce_all.patch           7966 bytes
   Modifies bounce to accept 'all' as the list argument. In which case 
   bounce will attempt to unsubscribe from ALL lists anyone whose
   address matches the pattern passed.
  
   The pattern is evaluated using a user-configurable grep command.
   Crude, but effective!


skip_headers.patch          496 bytes
   Simply adds more headers known to cause probs to the
   skip headers string.


mailstrip                  3685 bytes
   NOT A PATCH - a perl standalone

   Input a properly formatted SMTP message
   Output is same SMTP message sans certain headers or body items
   Useful for stripping nasty attachments from mails.
  
   with this installed, I have approve aliased as:
   alias approve '/path/to/mailstrip -a | /path/to/approve'


owner-password.patch       3392 bytes
   Owner Password Hack
  
   AVOID - INCOMPLETE
