: After the 'how do we read/store mail on Plan 9' a couple of months ago,

I have done something.
In the Plan B distrib I copied to sources, there's a program that
should work also for Plan 9. It should be at
/n/sources/contrib/nemo/sys/src/cmd/mail2fs/ IIRC
The idea is that mail2fs converts from mbox format to a file tree.
For example, my current inbox (listed from its root), is:

....
Then, to read mail, I use mails (which merely pretty-prints */[0-9]*/text)
or one for the wrappers. Indeed, cat */[0-9]*/text works well enough.
Would this suffice?
I remember complaints about the speed of using grep to search within this,
but in practice, I manage. If that's a problem, maybe what we need is a
generic file search a-la google for our files.

I've got a system up and a reluctant user.
"I don't like that acme mail" she says. So, I have set up (almost) imap4d
over ssl. Both thunderbird and mac mailer get part way in:
: imap4d debugging enabled
* OK roo.hsd1.nm.comcast.net. IMAP4rev1 server ready
and then hang. They are waiting for something, and imap4d seems to be
waiting. If I disconnect them, I see this:
* bad empty command line: bad syntax
* bye end of input
any idea what could be going wrong here?
Second question: drawterm in from a windows box. i can see C: (c-coli) but
not d-coli, e-coli, etc. in /mnt/term. How do I get to these other
things?
last question. "You're kidding", she says, "you guys just edit raw html?"
Well, er, I stammer, pretty much. So, how do you folks out there edit your
web pages? I never even thought about it until now. I just do the html
dance.
thanks

try telneting to the imap4d server. then type this:
(you need the integer prefix -- that's imap's command
tag. you can use any string, unique to that session.)
1 login $USER $PASSWORD
2 select inbox
3 fetch 1 all
4 fetch 1 body[]
5 logout
if you hang on 4, you have some sort of network problem.

you could try replacing imap4d.c:307 with ';'.

You guys have web pages?
After the 'how do we read/store mail on Plan 9' a couple of months ago,
has anyone done anything to improve the situation, e.g. memory footprint?

Well, what's so bad about editing raw HTML? It is considerably more
embarrassing to publish the type of unreadable trash (only its mother
could love that HTML!) produced by the average HTML editor. Take a
look, sometimes.

It's not me. It's a user. This is a very common problem. I just edit
html myself. But I was wondering if there was something more acceptable
under plan 9 than raw html.

Hello,
I am converting my own style which I call tt format to html format.
The tt format is like below:
H1: main title here
H2: subtitle hera
unordered list is
- something here
- something here
- something here
Program code is
P:!
some program code
...
...
!
H2: Where is the example
All of my web pages are written using tt format.
You can look the examples at
- http://ar.aichi-u.ac.jp
- http://plan9.aichi-u.ac.jp
A special page for tt format is
http://ar.aichi-u.ac.jp/tt/
The converter is written in python. You can download from
http://ar.aichi-u.ac.jp/tt/ptt.py

You could always introduce her to troff and use htmlroff.
Then raw HTML will look like a civilized alternative.

You can't. There used to be a -r option so you
could set which one (but just one) /mnt/term
corresponded to, but even that is gone now.
If you want to add it back, feel free.

When I have to do this stuff, I sometimes use a little macro
preprocessor I put together for it. I haven't written a man page, but
if you're interested, I'll send it to you. It goes something like
this:
cat >foo.hi <<EOF
<def name="page">
<html>
blah blah blah
</def>
<def name="/page">
blah blah
</html>
</def>
EOF
cat >foo.hm <<EOF
<include file="foo.hi">
<page>
whatever
</page>
EOF
hm foo.hm >foo.html
My wife uses this with sam and mk to manage a small web site.
