version 1.76: Tue Apr 10 09:25:29 CEST 2007
- The tag (field label) casing is "normalized" which is not
required (as the comment in the code told), but a mis-
feature. The feature will not change, to avoid breaking
existing code. Original report by [Matt Swift]
- Do not ignore unknown argument to Mail::Internet::new(),
but complain about it [JPBS]
- Document that the \n is still after a header line, but folding
is removed. Suggested by [Roberto Jimenoca]
- Document that unfolding is too greading, taking all leading
blanks where only one should be taken. Suggested by
[Roberto Jimenoca]
version 1.75: Wed Jun 14 15:30:25 CEST 2006
- [Mike Lerley] reported that environment variables are not
thread-safe in mod_perl. Therefore, we must pass the
sender of the message explicitly on qmail's command-line.
His addapted patch included.
version 1.74: Tue Feb 28 08:39:14 CET 2006
- Finally fixed exec with SMTP, with help from [Jun Kuriyama]

- Added 'use Mail::Util' to Mail::Mailer::testfile to produce

that SMTP works again.
version 1.72: Tue Jan 17 09:04:37 CET 2006

version 1.68: Thu Jan 5 10:29:25 CET 2006
- Updated copyright year.
- Removed 'use locale' from Mail::Address, which tainted the
parsed address. E-mail addresses are ASCII, so this 'locale'
thing seems flawed.
- $adr->name will refuse charset-encoded names. Found by [kappa]
- Improve parse-regexes in Mail::Address. By [J Meyers] and me.
version 1.67: Thu Mar 31 12:05:31 CEST 2005
- Mail::Mailer unfolded the header before sending, which is
incorrect. Reported by [Byron Jones]
- Mail::Header refolded already folded lines destroying
blanks. Signaled by [Byron Jones]
- Mail::Utils::maildomain now understands DM$m. Patch by
[Nate Mueller]

parential files. Not anymore thanks to [Randall Lucas]

and some more were added.
- [Slavan Rezic] small typo.
version 1.64: Tue Aug 17 22:24:22 CEST 2004
- CPAN failed to index 1.63 correctly, so hopefully it will
work now.
version 1.63: Mon Aug 16 17:28:15 CEST 2004
- [Craig Davison] Fixed date format in Mail::Field::Date to
comply to the RFC
- [Alex Vandiver] patched the email address parser to be able
to understand a list of addresses separated by ';', as Outlook
does. The ';' is the group separator, which was not understood
by MailTools before, but valid according to the RFCs.
- [Torsten Luettgert] found that field labels like '-' where not
beautified correctly.
- [Slavan Rezic] Updated doc in Mail::Mailer: referred to $command
which doesn't mean anything, and "testfile" is working differently.
- [chris] Mail::Message::Field::wellformedName() will upper-case
*-ID as part in the fieldname.
version 1.62: Wed Mar 24 13:29:27 CET 2004
- [Reuven M. Lerner], removed warning by Mail::Address::host()
when no e-mail address is provided.
- [Ville Skytta] contributed another Mail::Mailer::testfile fix
version 1.61: Wed Mar 10 10:51:44 CET 2004
- [Erik Van Roode] Mail::Mailer::test.pm -> Mail::Mailer::testfile.pm
- [Jérôme Dion] corrected the folding of lines: folds start only
with one blank according to rfc2822.
- Added a big warning against automatic sender email address
detection as provided by Mail::Util::mailaddress(). Please
explicitly set MAILADDRESS. This after a discussion with
[Wolfgang Friebel].
- Mail::Address->format should quote phrases with weird character.
Patched based on patch by [Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt]
- [Ruslan U. Zakirov] reported confusing error message when no
MailerType was specified.
- [Steve Roberts] fixed folding to produce longer lines.
version 1.60: Wed Sep 24 09:20:30 CEST 2003
- [Henrique Martins] found that enclosing parenthesis where not
correctly stripped when processing a Mail::Address.
- [Tony Bowden] asked for a change in Mail::Address::name, where
existing (probably correct) capitization is left intact. The
_extract_name() can be called as method, is needed, such that
it can be extended.
version 1.59: Wed Aug 13 08:13:00 CEST 2003
- Patch by [Shafiek Rasdien] which adds Mail::Internet::smtpsend
option MailFrom.

test information.

as well.

regexps [Autrijus Tang and Philip Molter]
version 1.56: Mon Jan 6 17:13:17 CET 2003
- And again, the patches of Autrijus had to be adapted to run on
a perl 5.6.1 installation. Thanks to [Philip Molter]
version 1.55: Mon Jan 6 08:05:58 CET 2003
- One explicit utf8::downgrade for 5.8.0, this time for
Mail::Address by [Autrijus Tang].
version 1.54: Mon Jan 6 08:00:00 CET 2003
- Another try to avoid the utf8 problems, this time by
[Philip Molter]
- Two explicit utf8::downgrades for 5.8.0, this time for
Mail::Field by [Autrijus Tang].

s/// Patched in Mail::Header by [Autrijus Tang]

- Work-around for bug in perl 5.8.0 unicode \U within s///
Patched in Mail::Header by [Autrijus Tang]
version 1.51: Tue Oct 29 14:25:28 CET 2002
- Mail::Util::maildomain() if no information about domains
is found in sendmail.cf, no error should be reported.
[Vaughn Skinner]
- Removed the possibility to use 'mailx', which was the
default: removal from the detectionn routines and Mail/Mailer/mail.pm.
Strongly suggested by [Sebastian Krahmer]
version 1.50: Wed Sep 4 00:38:49 CEST 2002
- Mail::Util::domainname() Patch to remove use of S variable from
sendmail.cf, because its inclusion is contra-productive.
[Timur Bakeyev]
- Mail::Util::domainname() Clean domain from sendmail.cf from
trailing trash (if present) [Timur Bakeyev]
- Mail::Util::domainname() Added environment variable MAILDOMAIN
to overrule smart domain discovery. [Timur Bakeyev]
version 1.49: Wed Aug 28 08:36:58 CEST 2002
- t/internet.t defaults $ENV{LOGNAME} to avoid warnings in tests
when that variable is not defined. [Chromatic]
- Mail::Mailer::_clean_up left an extra space behind each header
line. Patched by [Robert Spier]
- Mail::Mailer::_clean_up now also trims folded headerlines on more
than two lines.
version 1.48: Wed Aug 7 22:54:56 CEST 2002
- Mail::Mailer::test only worked in UNIX, because it used the 'test',
'sh' and 'cat' command. [Matt Selsky] provided a patch to remove
these dependencies. It may not work on ancient perl versions, but
that is not really a problem for a testing facility.
- The fix for nested comments in Mail::Address's, which went in a long
time ago, broke the parser. As example
"Mark Overmeer <mailtools@overmeer.net> (mailtools maintainer)"
was parsed into two separate objects.... wrong.
[Nicholas Oxhøj] reversed the patch.
version 1.47: Fri Jul 5 12:02:55 CEST 2002
- Mail::Mailer::_cleanup_headers unfolds the header lines, but
forgot to remove the indentation blanks as was discovered by
[Meng Weng Wong]
- Mail::Cap::new has two new options:
filename => FILENAME, which is just long for FILENAME only
take => 'ALL', to include all mail-cap files, not only the
first one found. Contributed by [Oleg Muravskiy]
version 1.46: Wed May 29 15:08:44 CEST 2002
- [Philip Molter] discovered my typo in Mail/Mailer/rfc822.pm
which forced me to release a new version....
version 1.45: Thu May 23 10:15:59 CEST 2002
- [Mark D. Anderson] Add Content-Disposition to the list
of structured header fields in Mail::Header.
- [David Weeler] Added darwin to `mail' versions which require
'-I' in Mail::Mailer.
- [Leon Avery] updated Mail/Mailer/rfc822.pm to be more
careful with multi-lined, multi-occurrence headers.
- [Drieux] small fix in Mail/Mailer/smtp.pm which enables the
passing-on of args to Net::SMTP.
- {Mark Overmeer] Put a message about Mail::Box in Mail::Internet
version 1.44 Sat Mar 23 10:16:47 CET 2002
- [Andreas Marcel Riechert] add -I to mailx for netbsd and
openbsd too.
- [Nate Mueller] Do respect user's X-Mailer in Mail::Internet
above own line.
- [Alexey Egorov] Header-line without body lost line-separator
in Mail::Header.pm
- [Bo Adler] and [Iosif Fettich] Found that I removed a blank
before 'sub smtpsend' which caused AutoSplit to misbehave.
version 1.43: Fri Feb 8 09:43:25 CET 2002
- [Jason Burnett] Added debug option for Net::SMTP for
Mail::Mail::smtp.
- [Slavan Rezic] + [Jonathan Stowe] Added eval around getpwuid,
to avoid croak on Windows.
- [Slavan Rezic] minor doc update. The documentation is
still poor.
- A lot of people complaint (and that after so many years that the
module is active) about folder lines within words or strings.
The mistake in the original implementation was that it tried to
fold too hard; folding is a service, but no requirement.
So: that overly active folding is removed now.
version 1.42: Mon Dec 10 19:22:01 CET 2001
- Moved examples from bin/ to examples/, so people may be
able to find them.
- Mail::Util now also tries sendmail option S for domainname.
Patched by [Todd R. Eigenschink]
Included Debian changes by [Steve Kowalik]:
- Added Mail::Mailer::qmail
version 1.41: Wed Nov 14 10:35:57 CET 2001
- Mail::Util::maildomain did not expand variables. Fixed the
regular expression. Reported by [Jean-Damien Durand]
- [Henrik Gemal] wished better warnings in Mail::Address::parse,
which are provided now.
- [Lucas Nussbaum] reported incorrect folding of unstructured
header lines. The whole idea of folder unstructured fields
is flawed, as far as I know, but anyway noone apparently had
sufficient long subject fields to find-out ;)
Fixed in Mail::Mailer.
version 1.40: Fri Aug 24 20:15:30 CEST 2001
- mailaddress defaults to username, not gcos in Mail/Util.pm
Patched by [Vivek Khera]
- Increased all version-numbers to show that maintainer-address
did change. Suggested by [Tassilo v Parseval]
All packages in this bundle with have the same version!!!
The highest number used was 1.33.

Patch by [Aaron J Mackey]

to be indented too. This should be fixed.
Reported by [Simon Cozens]

work for os2. Patch by [Ilya Zakharevich]
- Fix to be able to specify an index at the first addition of
a header-line to the Mail::Header structure.
