Bad form to follow up to myself, but I still get a trickle of requests
for the "show attachment name" patch, so I put it up on my ISP's server:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~driehuis/pine/README
http://www.xs4all.nl/~driehuis/pine/patch-mailpart-showname.diff
This is the latest version (identical to the final patch as posted to
this list). I don't foresee the need for updates, but the README will
point to the current version (or document its obsoleteness if it makes
its way into a Pine release).
The feedback I got, both public and private, was heartwarming. For some
other work I did, the only sign I saw that folks actually installed it
is when a virus grabs my e-mail address from the README that came with
the code and starts spamming me :-)
For those tuning in late:
I often get mail from Outlook Express users with a bazillion
attachments, and when I want to save one particular attachment, I have
to hunt for it (edited for brevity; the actual messages can have a
dozen attachments in chronobetical order):
PINE 4.64 ATTACHMENT INDEX Folder: classes Message 1 of 1
1.1 ~6 lines Text/PLAIN (charset: ISO-8859-1 "Latin 1 (...)")
1.2 ~20 lines Text/HTML (charset: ISO-8859-1 "Latin 1 (...)")
2 76 KB Application/MSWORD
3 22 KB Application/MSWORD
I did a bit of Googling and hunted the mailing list archives, but found
neither complaints about this nor proposed solutions.
When the part description is missing, it would make sense to use the
part "name=" parameter. This patch makes it look something like this:
PINE 4.64 ATTACHMENT INDEX Folder: classes Message 1 of 1
1.1 ~6 lines Text/PLAIN (charset: ISO-8859-1 "Latin 1 (...)")
1.2 ~20 lines Text/HTML (charset: ISO-8859-1 "Latin 1 (...)")
2 76 KB Application/MSWORD, "new codes.doc"
3 22 KB Application/MSWORD, "Questions.doc"
