Dear Mr. Bell, please use the real list address so that people can use a simple address check. Please. (I know it is just that i am much too lazy and overloaded with daily work too in order to look into postfix to get rewriting done.)

In the end, who am i? A gravestone which hopefully can be revived in a few centuries if the right heart and soul passes by. No "sehr geehrter Herr" at that time no more. |asctime() and asctime() is defined by the standard and does perform |space padding.' | I just read asctime's man page and looked at time.h. When |they describe day-of-month they use them unpadded and mention nothing |about padding. What is the standard to which you refer? When I run |'date', it returns unpadded day-of-month. Well, ISO C was revealed already, and POSIX inherits it thus. The code which checks this is pretty old, actually. It has been prettied up a bit, but in effect it is in use in BSD Mail for many many years. This is in header.c, you see the "cmatch_data" templates, it understands BSD/ISO C90 ctime, BSD tmz, SysV ctime, RFC 822-alike From_ as they come or came from the UW-imap server, as well as several RFC 822 with zone spec variants. This goes back far into the eighties i think, and i wonder which software produces messages which do not conform to any of those? This surely is a bug. And so it is. Unless i am totally mistaken you, Mr. Bell, have found a bug that is present in all BSD Mail codebases i can look at, Apple, NetBSD, OpenBSD, .. and unfortunately my poor one, too! It is in BSD Mail 8.1[.1] from June 1996 even. Thank you very much, Mr. Bell!! The fix is on the [master] branch as well as all the [stable/] branch series. I hope i make it and be able to release a stabilizing bugfix release around the Christian Christmas. |russell bell --End of <[email protected]> --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
