Patches
I seem to be getting more and more patches that have tabs/spaces broken and line wrap damage. I've dumped a pile in my queue including some pcmcia support for sh3 and the like
If your patches are getting ignored please mail yourself a copy and check your mailer works. If you have problems use mime (Linus doesnt like mime I dont care)

Note that pine 4.30 (shipped with Red Hat 7) has taken to stripping trailing whitespace from each line of a mail just before it sends it.
See http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23679 for a patch, if you can get at it - I seem to be firewalled from it at the moment.
This corruption still occurs in pine 4.32.

I should qualify that, just in case I'm actually lying.

I will take a look at the patch and apply it to my next PINE build for testing.

Fun thing to do as root, in the root directory:
chmod -R 666 *
Just as bad as rm -rf *, but more fun.
"The files are all there, but I can't do anything with them!" And you can't change permissions, since chmod isn't executable either. :-)

Netscape is bad news for patches, both sending and receiving. On send it wraps lines and doesn't let you see the wrapped version until after it's sent - on receive it likes to convert tabs to spaces. Avoid.
I haven't tried mozilla yet. I should, because if Mozilla is similarly broken at least we can fix it.
Kmail works fine.

I use Netscape Mail all the time to send patches, and it works beautifully 95% of the time.
If you attach the patch, Netscape detects it is text/plain and does not encode it. People who dislike MIME complain a bit, but at least you can see the patch and comment on it. And attaching the patch ensures that no editor mangling occurs.
That said, every now and then, Netscape's text/plain autodetect will puke and eat an attached patch. But that happens so infrequently that the utility outweighs the pain.

Hmmm. Would be great, but could you get working beyond some proxy? I couldn't, and so I have to use Netscape, since pine doesn't really support proxies, too. Same with MS Outlook, which is - o horror - also avariable for Linux (in one package with MS Internet Exploder)! If there is a way, please tell me!

Um, mail proxy? Is there such a beast? I always thought that that was called 'mail server'. Where do you find configuration tabs for that in netscape?

Whenever it works, it seems to use the socks proxy. We unfortunately have a NT 4 Workstation as proxy for administration, so I have to proxy my mail data.
