Precaution: This is STILL beta

Installation Instructions

# ls

jp-tcltk-7.6p2_4.2p2-2b.ppc.rpm

# rpm -Uvh jp-tcltk-7.6p2_4.2p2-2b.ppc.rpm

# ls

jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2i.ppc.rpm

# rpm -qpl jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2i.ppc.rpm

If you are satisfied with the contents of the package: proceed to

$ su

# rpm -Uvh jp-tkmail-4.0beta9-2i.ppc.rpm

Caution: If you have already the previous version of tkmail-4.0, you have to edit your .tkmail4rc in your home directory:

$ vi ~/.tkmail4rc

.....

set mf(headlist-format) {%-20.20F %3m %2d %-5.5h %4l %-1000.1000s}

.....

$ cp /usr/local/lib/tkmail4/example.tkmail4rc ~/.tkmail4rc

Now you are ready to try it by typing:

$ tkmail4

Note Added
If you get an error message telling that tkmail couldn't find "blt_bell", replace "blt_bell 80" by "bell" in ~/.tkmail4rc.

Japanization Notes

• Compiler Flags

  Compile tkmail using japanized tcl/tk with -DKANJI and -DKINPUT2 flags activated:

  $ vi Config.mk

  CFLAGS = -O -DKANJI -DKINPUT2

  TK_INC = -I/usr/local/include

  TCL_INC =

  TK_LIB = -L/usr/local/lib -ltk4.2jp -ljpeg

  TCL_LIB = -ltcl7.6jp -lm

• Modified Scripts

  $ vi scripts/tkmail

  kanji internalCode JIS

  $ vi scripts/viewer.tcl

  set mf(headlist-format) {%-20.20F %3m %2d %-5.5h %4l %-1000.1000s}

  source $mfp(bindlib)/kinput2.tcl

  $ vi scripts/compose.tk

  A lot of changing related to iso2022jp encoding or decoding for subject and from field such as:

  set cursubj [mfv_util jpdecode "$cursubj"]

  set subject [mfv_util jpencode "$subject"]

  set fromline [mfv_util jpencode $fromline]

  $ vi tkbind/kinput2.tcl

  # For Japanese Input

  bind Text {kinput_start %W over}

  bind Text {kinput_start %W over}

  bind Text {kinput_start %W over}

  bind Entry {kinput_start %W}

  bind Entry {kinput_start %W}

  bind Entry {kinput_start %W}

• Modified C Source Code (mfv.c)

  Modified to allow iso-2022-jp handling:

  Mfv_GetSumLine

  Mfv_MakeFmtLine

  Mfv_SetCmd

  Mfv_FilterHeaders

  Mfv_FolderCmd

  Mfv_UtilCmd

  Added newly to allow iso-2022-jp handling:

  Mfv_Iso2022jpEncode

  Mfv_Iso2022jpDecode

  Mfv_Base64Encode

  Mfv_FieldWidth

• Known Problems

  When "fullname" or "subject" or both are truncated in making header summary (Mfv_GetSumLine), escape sequence is discarded. This confuses "wish" that it is still getting wide characters. At this moment, I fixed the name field width to "nameWidth" characters, which can be changed between 10 to 92 as follows:

  set mf(headlist-format) {%-20.20F %3m %2d %-5.5h %4l %-1000.1000s}

  Notice that the width of the format field is fixed to 5.

  Notice that the field width has to depend on whether the name field contains Japanese or not, since in sprintf, escape sequences are also counted as characters.

  JP-Width = En-Width + 7

  The width given in set mf(headlist-format) is En-Width.

  As for the problem with "subject", I employed a brute-force solution that is to set the field long enough in viewer.tcl:

  set mf(headlist-format) {%-20.20F %3m %2d %-5.5h %4l %-1000.1000s}

  This should also be improved in future.

• Jp-Patch

  If you are really interested in or suspicious about what I have done, take a look at the patch itself:
