Subject: DSN support?

Dear All,
 
Do you know if PINE supports the requesting of and (meaningful) display of
Internet "Delivery Status Notification"s, a.k.a. NOTARY, a.k.a Delivery
Reports, a.k.a. RFC1891->RFC1894?
 
Early tests suggest it displays as text (which is OK, but not ideal) a
message/delivery-status and I can't see any hooks to allow it to set the
request flag. [This is with pine 3.96]. 
 
I couldn't see a mention of this planned for pine 4.00 - anyone else have
any info?

If not, where is the best place/list to go to get involved in Pine
development?  :-) 

regards,
 
jb

Pine 4.00 will be able to make DSN requests, but it won't do much in
the way of handling the reports (unless someone's done alot of coding
in the last couple months ;-)  It's so rare to find a complete
delivery path that supports DSN now that it's a bit hard to test too.

This is the place to start.  There is a pre-release list of people who
will get a copy of Pine shortly before the public release to iron out
port-specific bugs they can't test directly.  The Pine Team usually
likes to see some demonstrated familiarity with building and patching
Pine before they put you on that list though.  Requests to get on the
list should go to [email-masked].  (Tip:  make sure the
subject: of your message make it clear what you want;  the Pine Team
often doesn't read messages that don't stand out...) 

Good luck!
