Greg Ward 02669a35bc Tweak description of PortableUnixMailbox: "From " lines are actually
quoted (or mangled) *at* delivery-time, not "well before" it.  (At least
that's how Exim and qmail work.)

Fred Drake c37b65ee10 Clean up some markup cruft. A number of the macros that take no
parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

markup inconsistencies.

Fred Drake 1400baa5d6 Add a "See also" section with useful links. More should be added giving
pointers to information about the other mailbox formats; if anyone can
provide the information needed, please let me know!

Fred Drake 287c4cb43a State that Mailbox objects are iterator objects. 2001-05-02 20:22:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c3cbbaf513 Added some additional documentation describing how BabylMailbox
actually works (it returns a message containing the visible headers,
not the original headers).  Doc change approved by Fred; closes SF bug
#412230.

Fred Drake 6270031f4e Adjustments to the text of the UnixMailbox description. Added
PortableUnixMailbox as a separate class as well (this also generates
the right index entry).

Barry Warsaw 30dbd1429a Document the two changes to the mailbox.py module:
- All constructors grow an optional argument `factory' which is a
  callable used when new message instances are created by the next()
  methods.  Defaults to the rfc822.Message class.

- A new subclass of UnixMailbox is added, called PortableUnixMailbox.
  It's identical to UnixMailbox, but uses a more portable test for
  From_ delimiter lines.  With PortableUnixMailbox, any line that
  starts with "From " is considered a delimiter (this should really
  check for two newlines before the F, but it doesn't.

Fred Drake 6e99adb1c9 Don't capitalize identifiers at the beginning of the sentence; re-write to
place them elsewhere so they get the right capitalization.
1998-02-13 22:17:21 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
