Re: Mail reader & spam

You might try the python-based *XPN *news client at ....

Hi, I tried it out. I like the layout definitely, plus the feel
of it, colors, etc.

It doesn't do the things I named that I like though.

It's threading is buggy and watch flags don't propagate
consistently.
I've never had any problems at all with message threading
using xpn ....

Since I've always used Keep SubThread instead of Watch SubThread,
I have no personal experience with the watch flags ....

When using keep flags, new messages in a thread do have to be
toggled on, so perhaps the the watch flags behave the same ....

Such toggles are easily achieved by setting desired keystrokes
in the KeyBindings.py file found in the xpn_src dir ....

And there isn't any less spam.
Fortunately, the groups I read including this one
have a very tolerable spam/content ratio although
it does fluctuate from time to time in some groups ....

Perhaps some design concepts/components from spambayes which is
also open source and python-based could be integrated with xpn
to help diminish spam problems ....

One of the first rules of doing web development is to never trust user input. So, my question is how this may affect the usage of the mail() function within PHP. Obviously, one can (fairly easily) verify that what one is passing in the TO parameter is a valid e-mail address. What is recommended with respect to the subject & message parameters?

Hello all: I'd like some advice on the best way to validate and confirm an e-mail address entered during a registration process. What we are thinking of is something like the following: 1. User comes to our web site and validates themselves as a member of our database. 2. User creates a user name and password to be used to log in to our site. 3. User is required to enter a valid e-mail address to finalize

Hello all, I'm hesitating to change news readers because I like Google's interface. In the interests of discussion, I'd make better contributions without it, if only because it's a known spam source, but its reader format beats the alternatives I've seen. I checked out the 'nntplib' module to see if some hybrid with Thunderbird and GMane, for example, would be possible. I don't think it would be that hard, but before I put in the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
