Cone lockup bug and other comments

Hi Sam,

1. I'm using cone 0.60.20040622. My MAIL environment variable is defined
as $HOME/Mail/inbox. However, the inbox is not a file, but a Maildir
(I use it with mutt). If I start cone in this environment, it says
"connecting to email", and freezes. When I attach an strace to it,
this is what I see:

...
...
5535  read(5, 0x4001c000, 4096)         = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
5535  read(5, 0x4001c000, 4096)         = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
5535  read(5, 0x4001c000, 4096)         = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
5535  read(5, 0x4001c000, 4096)         = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
5535  read(5, 0x4001c000, 4096)         = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
...
...

The only way to stop it is to kill the process id from another window.

Cone wants to open a file at the location pointed to by $MAIL, and
when it finds a directory instead, it falls over, so I consider this a
bug.

2. I'm having my email filtered through spamassassin, which inserts
reports like these into the mail header:

X-Spam-Report: Content analysis details:   (4.0 points, 4.0 required)
        pts rule name              description
        ---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
        1.1 RCVD_IN_DSBL           RBL: Received via a relay in list.dsbl.org
        [<http://dsbl.org/listing?ip=82.135.0.68>]
        2.8 RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB      RBL: SORBS: sender is a abuseable web server
        [82.135.0.68 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]
        0.1 RCVD_IN_SORBS          RBL: SORBS: sender is listed in SORBS
        [82.135.0.68 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]

So the report is neatly formartted, and easy to read. When I try to
view all the headers in cone, this is what I see:

X-Spam-Report: Content analysis details:   (4.0 points, 4.0 required) pts rule name
               description ---- ----------------------
               -------------------------------------------------- 1.1 RCVD_IN_DSBL
               RBL: Received via a relay in list.dsbl.org
               [<http://dsbl.org/listing?ip=82.135.0.68>] 2.8 RCVD_IN_SORBS_WEB      RBL: SORBS:
               sender is a abuseable web server [82.135.0.68 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net] 0.1
               RCVD_IN_SORBS          RBL: SORBS: sender is listed in SORBS [82.135.0.68 listed
               in dnsbl.sorbs.net]

Cone has joined all lines together, making it very hard to read the
report. Any chance you can get cone to just display the headers as
they are?

3. Is there any easy way to import an address book into cone?
Specifically, how can I import the mutt aliases file into cone? Mutt's
aliases file looks like this:

alias joe.bloggs Joe Bloggs <[email protected]>
alias my.friend My Friend <[email protected]>
