I've added an extra comment about quoting arguments to
IMAP4 commands. Also changed the command descriptions
to show optional extra commands where appropriate.

Fred Drake:
Added example usage for the search() method based on comments from
<Lucas.DeJonge@awtpl.com.au>; elaborated error handling information
when arguments are missing from search() and uid().

f1dc5fa2c8 Updated docs to list all the new methods and functions. The docs are 
now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

c9a5f343bc The addition of rint() (by Peter Schneider-Kamp; I forgot to mention 
that before) in the previous patch has one problem; rint() is not in
the C math library on all platforms (e.g. not for VC++).  Make it
conditional on HAVE_RINT.
 2000-05-11 18:42:27 +00:00

35784dff6a Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com>: 
The intent is that this diff adds a link to the rfc822 module doc and
an index reference to this module under the rfc822 heading.

Fred, based on a suggestion from Grant Griffin <grant.griffin@honeywell.com>:
Added link to the MIME FAQ, so people can more easily get more
information about the subject of the module.

 2000-05-02 17:29:35 +00:00

d67ddbbec1 Eric Raymond: 
(1) Added and documented the capability for shlex to handle
lexical-level inclusion and a stack of input sources.  Also, the input
stream member is now documented, and the constructor takes an optional
source-filename.  The class provides facilities to generate error
messages that track file and line number.

(2) Add a convenience function to generate C-compiler style error
leaders.
 2000-05-01 20:14:47 +00:00
