Message-ID: <20040122150849.0B2DB25ADD5@bonanza.off.ekorp.com> How many people are going to PyCon and interested in a sprint focused on the email package? I'm trying to work out if there's enough people to make it worthwhile... followups to me or to the email-sig@python.org list. Thanks, Anthony -- Anthony Baxter It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Message-ID: <1074785011.30099.90.camel@anthem> Anthony suggested in private correspondence that we plan an email-sig sprint at the upcoming PyCon. I've registered this as a tentative sprint topic: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/SprintPlan2004 We could work out the design and much of the implementation for email 3.0. We could also work on a new parser design, or implementation of more RFCs. We could perhaps write a suite of email address validators that doesn't depend on rfc822.py and is more consistent with RFC 2822. Or whatever! Anybody else interested? -Barry From stuart at stuartbishop.net Fri Jan 23 23:50:10 2004 From: stuart at stuartbishop.net (Stuart Bishop) Date: Fri Jan 23 23:50:54 2004 Subject: [Email-SIG] Unicode email addresses Message-ID: Skipped content of type multipart/mixed-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <4016B926.3010303@fastmail.fm> Hi folks! Does the email package offer support for message payloads using "format=flowed"? It would be very handy to get the text of a message with the "flowed" line-breaks and extraneous quote marks automatically removed. I haven't found mention of format=flowed in the Python docs, but I may have overlooked something.

I don't think I've ever seen it in the wild myself, though I've not spent any effort looking for it specifically. If it's out there, it would be really nice to have in the library. -Fred -- Fred L.

I would also presume that Eudora uses it, since Qualcomm is responsible for the orginial f=f RFC: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt From ben at foxden.org Wed Jan 28 13:39:20 2004 From: ben at foxden.org (Ben Gertzfield) Date: Wed Jan 28 14:27:35 2004 Subject: [Email-SIG] Format=Flowed?

Mozilla and Apple's Mail.app both send mails with format=flowed (this message probably has it) and support displaying messages with format=flowed.

What I'm looking for is a parser that will automagically "unflow" text that has been sent in format=flowed, and "reflow" text sent to it into format=flowed. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that setting that parameter has either of those effects. I'm working on such an f=f parser myself, using RFC 2646 as a guide. I'm making pretty good progress, but I have no real idea when it'll be done. If the email SIG is interested in such a parser, I'd be happy to donate my efforts.

Its part of the Content-Type leader, so you can just do msg.set_param('format', 'flowed', 'Content-Type') - -- Stuart Bishop http://www.stuartbishop.net/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (Darwin) iD8DBQFAGMeXAfqZj7rGN0oRAlyaAJ9F0MBwZDs9eFeB0zBlhOcBQbyD0gCeI43D bWaOusox7/ymgFSdJSS20wI= =hokM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
