Hello Everyone,

Sorry about the test emails - I was testing out the new email header
encoding features of Dada Mail

As been brought to my attention by a lot of people, Dada Mail does not
support mime encoded words Here's a background of the what the heck
that is:

http://en
wikipedia
org/wiki/MIME#Encoded-Word

So, I've been working hard on getting that in It took a long while
for me to wrap my head around the problem The big difficulty is with
Dada Mail's complexity:

not only do we have to send out messages that have this encoded-word
stuff (which is easy), the email message also has to be in some sort
of format the templating system will work with for mail merging, the
archive engine can work with for displaying, and everything else works
with messages coming from various sources - like Dada Bridge and still
Do The Right Thing - etc, etc, etc - and I also didn't want this new
functionality to bloat the entire program and make things harder than
they already are

But now, I think we're pretty close in getting that to happen correctly

I've made a snapshot of Dada Mail with Mime Encoded-Word support, you
can grab it here:

Install/Upgrade directions are the same as previous versions

To enable to feature, log into your list and go to:

Manage List -> Sending Options -> Advanced

And check the option,

[ ] Encode Message Headers

I also usually set the character set to be, 'utf-8' in the popup menu
entitled:

Default Character Set of Mailings

and things should work out, for the most part

Along with this feature, I added some more tests to make sure things
are working correctly A lot of the tests are using calls to the Dada
Bridge plugin directly, which is interesting in of itself To make
these tests work correctly, I had to figure out a way to directly
inject a message into Dada Bridge's mail system without sending a
message, having Dada Bridge check a POP server, etc

Now, that's all in place and we're pretty close in getting Dada Bridge
to successfully and safely accept messages directly piped to it,
which should help performance of the plugin - especially for
discussion lists, since you don't have to wait for the cron job to
fire for the message to start being processed

This snapshot also has some misc bug fixes for some of the POP3 login
bugs and POP-before-SMTP authentication I don't really suggest using
POP-before-SMTP authentication, as it seems to really slow down
sending I just popped up a new, "hack" on getting Dada Mail to send a
Whole Lot Faster:

Worth a look, if you haven't seen it

Please give the new snapshot a try and let me know how it fares Below
