* New version 2.19.999
* Introduce the option "Validate Using Certificate Store Only", and
make it the default. This will make Alpine check for the validity of
signatures in certificates that a user has installed in their
system, and not in the certificates that come with the message. A
user can override this, although is not recommended, by disabling
this feature.
* When viewing a signed message, the ^E command would present an
empty screen or Alpine would crash because when Alpine would get the
PKCS7 body of the message from body->sparep, it would not decode it
properly due to the new way in which the sparep pointer is encoded
that was introduced in version 2.19.991.
* When a signed message is forwarded, the message might not be filtered
correctly, and mime information might make it into the body of the
forwarded message. In order to produce this, the message must be
forwarded from the index screen and not be opened. The reason why
this makes a difference is because opening a signed message changes
its body structure. The reason why a person could forward a message
before reading it is because the person could already be aware of
the content of the message (e.g. the message is in the sent-mail
folder).
* When a message fails to validate and the body is saved from the server
for validation, be careful in the way that body part pointers are
set, in order to do this we split the mail_body function into two
parts, one that gets the body, the other that gets the section of
the body. The new function that gets the section of the body
(mail_body_section), is used to assign pointers of the reconstructed
new body.
* When a container has not been defined, transferring messages to a
container will succeed, and the name of the container will be
written on screen.
* When Alpine is receiving the envelopes from an imap server, it
attempts to generate the index line immediately; while doing so it
might need to compute a score, and for this, it might need to go
back and do some operation in the same imap server. In this case,
Alpine will crash with a "lock when already locked" message. In
order to avoid this crash, a new check in match_pattern was added to
Alpine to avoid the second trip to a server that is busy sending us
envelopes. Reported by Peter Koellner.
* Update copyright notice in mswin.rc and pmapi.rc, as well as first
time user notice and special request notice.
* Alpine cannot handle correctly some characters in the Windows-1256
character set, which might lead to a crash or a corruption in the
screen. Work was done to contain the bug. A more complete fix will be
done in a future release. Reported by Professor Robert Funnell.
* Decode the name of attachment names, so they can be written as part
of the description of the part.
* When transferring certificates to a local container, create container
with default names PublicContainer, PrivateContainer and CAContainer,
as appropriate for these files, unless the user has provided some
other names.
