Bugs
----
o  get_respcode() doesn't handle the 401 response code. as we have to
   evaluate the response text as well we have to fix every
   nntp_command(..., NULL, 0) call.
   [20100429 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  col_response is a misnomer as the counter doesn't count responses
   anymore (except on the very first article). The man-page is outdated too.
   [20080826 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  'T'ag all parts of multipart message doesn't work (it never did)
   with thread_arts 4 (multipart) or 5 (percentage)
   [20080606 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  cLINES < MIN_LINES_ON_TERMINAL || cCOLS < MIN_COLUMNS_ON_TERMINAL
   isn't checked on startup
   [20071210 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  a wrong username/password in ~/.newsauth can lead to an endless AUTH-loop
   when using -A and issuing a wrong username/password in the prompt
   [20080926 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  unexpected multiline responses confuse tin, e.g.:
   | 240 Article posted =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=3C=3D=3Fiso=2D8859=2D1=3Fq=3F=3F=3D87r7k8na?=
   |   =?ISO-8859-1?Q?vt=2Efsf=40urs=2Did=2Etest=2Eka=2Enu=3E?=
   (the servers response should be a single line (INN 2.2))
   [20050207 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  piping/printing articles grabbles screen
   [20030501 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  better integrate saving of MIME/non-MIME articles when not using libuu.
   MIME sections are saved by the 's'ave operations, uuencoded sections
   are saved as part of the postprocess backend
   [mostly done]
   [Jason Faultless <jason@altarstone.com>]

o  batch mode has several bugs
   - -Z and giving a cmd-line group the cmd-line group is not displayed in
     the statistics nor taken into account for the 'any unread news' status.
   - -vc could be more verbose (like -vcZ is)
   - -o currently is not a 'batch_mode' option
   - if server requires authentication (and no ~/.newsauth entry matches)
     tin prompts for username but not for password
   [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add version number to other config-files (e.g. tin.defaults)
   and do the same checks as for TINRC_VERSION/tinrc. for the
   filter and attributes file store the charset the file is written in
   (e.g. ISO-8859-x vs. unicode) and for the filter file the filter method
   used (wildmat or regexp)
   [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  overview file cacheing code is over-complex
   - cache the original overview info instead of rebuilding it from
     the processed (decoded etc.) data, no matter if it's broken (e.g.
     contains raw 8 bit data) as we have to deal with that anyway. if there
     are no original overviews, cache the original data from the postings
     headers (after unfolding and tab removal).
   - Add docs to explain how to create system-wide overviews

o  iso2asc conversion is missing for 'internal' strings (e.g. 'M'enu)
   [20020319 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  comments in attributes get lost (we need to do something like we do for
   the filter file)
   [20080425 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  if tin is falling back to HEAD/NEXT ([X]OVER not working) it doesn't honor
   tinrc.getart_limit
   [20090112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

Pager Problems
--------------

Posting Problems
----------------
o  8bit chars in some headers are RFC-2047-encoded where this is not allowed
   according to usefor (Newsgrous, Distribution, ...) - do_rfc15211522_encode()
   simply encodes all headers no matter if any of them must not be encoded
   (see parse_rfc822_headers()).
   [20090112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  remove Message-IDs with 8bit chars in them when they occur in
   Message-ID or References header
   [done for References in replies/followups, Urs]

o  repost ('x') ignores ~/.tin/attributes - bug or feature?!
   [IMHO a bug as settings like mailing_list are essential, Urs]

o  forged cancelling via Supersedes:/Also-Control:/Control:-header is possible
   if it is supplied by hand (inews_prog=--internal)

o  when last articles in a newsgroup were cancelled, it shows that there are
   new articles in that group (except when using -n cmd-line flag)

o  mailers other than sendmail (f.e. elm) and use_mailreader_i=OFF may lead
   to 'duplicated'-headers and multiple signatures

New features
------------
o  add nntp_default_server to tin.defaults to override compile time setting.
   if given strings starts with / or ~ the value is taken from the referenced
   file, if it starts with $ it is read from the referenced variable.
   [20101118 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  the old space_goto_next_article=ON && space_goto_next_unread=OFF is not
   possible with the new goto_next_unread rc-var, we need something like
   an additional goto_next_read rc-var
   [20101101 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  key to show all article headers but not switch into raw mode like ^H does
   [20100911 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add DEFAULT_SIGDASHES_REGEX and related 'M'enu-entry for signature
   detection in cook.c
   [20080925 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  give an error message if append_mail() fails (grep TODO post.c)
   [20080423 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  allow remapping of the 'z' abort-key (lynx style) in wait_for_input().

o  add user defined screen layout at different levels
   [20041025 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add TLS (RFC 4642), NNTPS support
   (<http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/>, <http://www.openssl.org/>
    might be useful (but unfortunately we use fputs()/fgets() instead of
    read()/write() - BIO_*() may be useful);
    "stunnel -c -d 1119 -r news.example.org:563; tin -g localhost -p 1119"
    can be used for NNTPS)
   [20031210 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add more AUTHINFO SASL (RFC 4643) support (DIGEST-MD5, EXTERNAL, ...)
   and a fallback if no libgsasl is found (e.g cyrus-sasl or a handrolled
   version for at least PLAIN)
   [20080316 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add XZVER (and XZHDR) support (zlib compressed yyencoded overview data)
   <http://helpdesk.astraweb.com/index.php?_m=news&_a=viewnews&newsid=9>

o  make 'GNKSA'-parser RFC5322/USEFOR compliant and fix bugs
   (e.g. "<~$!~( )@( )example.com>" causes "illegal character in RHS", but
   the address is valid)

o  add In-Reply-To threading for mailgroups
   [20030518 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  make auto'S'ave also work for inrange groups
   (unfortunately 'S' at select level is used for something else)
   [20030508 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  turn ask_for_metamail into $MM_NOASK support (see metamail(1))
   [20030314 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  fetch overview data in chunks (e.g. 100 arts/chunk) to allow
   faster read interruption.
   [20020326 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>]

o  add bold-italic, bold-underline, italic-underline, bold-italic-underline
   word highlightings.
   [20020721 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  allow bold, underline, italic, ... as colour substitution for
   monochrome terminals (map green=underline, italic=yellow)
   (see also
   <nntp://news.tin.org/20020416202232.A4575@bloatware.reston01.va.comcast.net>)
   [20030218 Serge Matveev <sm@cl.spb.ru>]

o  hierarchical 'M'enu, e.g. put all art_marked_*into a 'submenu',
   restructure/sort 'M'enu items, some disply-options (render BiDi) are
   currently under expert options, some options in display options are
   navigation options (catchup thread, use mouse, ...)
   [20020322 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add a postponed 'browser' (store postponed arts in MH or maildir
   format to make things easier?)
   [20020305 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>]

o  add postpone option for mail-actions;
   reusing p'o'stponed articles in mailing_list groups doesn't work
   (possible fix: store Newsgroups (and other info) via msg_add_header()
    (to overwrite any old values) in X-Tin-Postponed:-header and remove it
    before posting.)
   [20010623 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  should the postponed 'file' (and posted messages 'file') be in
   mailbox_format (even if that's a one file/message format, thus
   the 'file' actually needs to be a directory?).

o  add maildir/maildir++ support (besides MBOX{O,RD} and MMDF},
   MH (not only reading but also writing), mailstore, BABYL, Kendra (MMDF
   like with 20*CTRL-A as sep.), MBX (indexed MBOX from UW-IMAP) and add
   man-pages for the various formats.
   (see <http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/notes/BABYL> for BABYL,
    <http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/maildir.html> for maildir,
    <http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html> for MBOXCL and MBOXCL2,
    <http://www.washington.edu/imap/listarch/2000/msg00363.html> for MBX)
   [20020215 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add $LOCKEXT support
   [20030611 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add xxencode (<http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/tools/xxcode/xxdecode.c>),
   base224 (<http://b-news.sf.net/>), xBin <http://www.xbin.org/> and
   yenc (hide/decode-)support (see <http://nerv.cx/liyang/software/yydecode/>
   for readable code, ignore the crap on <http://www.yenc.org/>). also
   check <http://www.exit109.com/~jeremy/news/binaries/> which might
   replace yenc etc.pp. some day.
   [20020216 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add "Face:" (incompatible "X-Face:"-replacement) support?
   [20040107 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  turn CA_ERROR_SPACE_IN_NEWSGROUPS, CA_ERROR_NEWLINE_IN_NEWSGROUPS,
   CA_ERROR_SPACE_IN_FOLLOWUP_TO, CA_ERROR_NEWLINE_IN_FOLLOWUP_TO into
   CA_WARNING_s (see draft-ietf-usefor-article-06.txt 5.5) and mark them
   for removal in the future.
   [define FOLLOW_USEFOR_DRAFT to turn the mentioned errors into
    warnings. 20011226 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  support "Suggested Minimal Digest Format"
   <ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/faqs/minimal-digest-format>

o  add new threading method: thread by reference, but split threads on
   subject change
   [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  rewrite thread-method selection that users can easily combine different
   threading methods (THREAD_SUBJ + THREAD_MULTI || THREAD_REFS +
   THREAD_MULTI || ...) - see also note in art.c
   [20011117 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add counter to post-processing commands (processing file x of y)
   (Is post-processing really that slow? [Jason Faultless
   <jason@altarstone.com>] no but if you post-process more than a
   handful of files it would be useful [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>])

o  add key to toggle article and thread sorting preferences on the fly
   (like 'u' for threading)

o  check if servers high mark is lower than the one in users newsrc, if so
   issue a warning and allow the luser to reset the highmark in the newsrc
   to the servers 'l'ow or the servers 'h'igh mark or 'i'gnore it.

o  check if the articles Subject/From in the pager matches (minus
   whitespaces) the one on the overview file (if available) - if not
   issue a warning that the servers overviews seem to be broken. trust
   the headers, not overviews. (see note in rfc2046.c)
   do the same with the article numbers in the (cached) overview
   data (we already do this, but currently this will lead to article "loss").
   if they are higher than the server's high-mark don't trust them (and
   discard the locally cached data).

o  attributes (still) needs some work; See doc/config-anomalies.
   [20030303 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>]

o  add IPv6 support
   (add protocol independent wrappers which use IPv6 (functions)
    whenever possible).
   there are two small problems with the minimalistic IPv6 support which is
   currently in tin: when getaddrinfo() is used to get the name/ip of the
   newsserver it always uses DNS (gethostbyname()/gethostbyaddr() checked
   /etc/hosts first) and getaddrinfo() seems to have a (huge) delay in some
   cases. use getipnodebyname()/getipnodebyaddr() (if available) instead.
   check for gethostbyaddr_r()/gethostbyname_r() and use them instead
   of gethostbyaddr()/gethostbyname() if available.

o  add cmd-line/tinrc-switch to fetch only headers of unread articles;
   in that case, make 'r' reading the rest of the articles
   [-G is a start]
   allow setting a per group limit via attributes

o  check if server supports 'LIST MODERATORS' and/or 'LIST DISTRIB.PATS' and
   if it does parse the output so it can be shown to the user. (e.g. when
   posting to a moderated group, show the moderators mail-address, but still
   leave the mailing to the server; if the group has limited distribution
   inform the user, ...)

o  if using "-n" commandline switch you can't subscribe to newsgroups not
   present in your newsrc - a simple check against the server
   (e.g. GROUP $newsgroup or if !NNTP try to stat the dir) would help.
   if the server understands "LIST ACTIVE grp" we could also get the group's
   attribute (moderated, etc.) and with "LIST NEWSGROUPS grp" it's
   description.

o  item_by_item_etiquette_warnings [compile-time?]
   (e.g. enable x-posts without f'up warning, disable long-sig warning)

o  unify Fcc and posted_articles_file
   [20031012 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>]

o  MIME-pgp support according to RFC 2015, RFC 3156 - (should be easy now)
   and/or in the format that used by signcontrol/pgpverify (see also
   tinews.pl)
   As MIME-pgp verification needs the undecoded mime-part with it's headers
   storing the raw-offset of each part in the article would be very helpful.

o  pgp-{6,7} support

o  add feature Cc:

o  add feature show_new_newsgroups_since

o  add new key which taggs articles based on a prompted regex, could be used
   for GROUP_MARK_THREAD_READ,PAGE_MARK_THREAD_READ,THREAD_MARK_ARTICLE_READ
   and/or something like GROUP_SELECT_THREAD/THREAD_SELECT_ARTICLE which
   works on tagged arts (the later might be useful in conjnction with
   GROUP_MARK_UNSELECTED_ARTICLES_READ)
   [20051110 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  Additions to the thread menu:
     ']'  (GLOBAL_QUICK_FILTER_KILL)
     '['  (GLOBAL_QUICK_FILTER_SELECT)
     'r'  (reply to) /* not 'R' cause it conflicts with mail_bugreport */
     ''   r should be toggle show all/show only unread
     'f'  (post a followup) (maybe also 'F', '^W', ...)
     'N'  (next unread article)
     'P'  (previous unread article)
     'T'  (tag all parts of current multipart-message in order)
     'V'  (View/pipe/save multimedia attachments)
     'X'  (mark all unread articles that have not been selected as read)
     ';'  (mark unread arts as hot if >= 1 art in thread is hot)
     '+'  (mark thread as hot)
     '='  (mark pattern as hot)
     '@'  (toggle selections)
     'Y'  (check for new articles in thread)
     '%'  (toggle rot13 encoding of screen content)
     'x'  (repost)
     'e'  (edit mailgroup article)
     keys to go to previous/next thread

o  Additions to the group menu:
     'V'  (View/pipe/save multimedia attachments)
     'Y'  (check for new articles in group)
     '%'  (toggle rot13 encoding of screen content)

o  Additions to the select menu:
     '%'  (toggle rot13 encoding of screen content)

o  Add to the 'M'enu:
     'R'  (GLOBAL_BUGREPORT)
     '&'  (GLOBAL_TOGGLE_COLOR)
     and maybe a way to change built in path like DEFAULT_MAILER, PATH_PGP, ...

     '?','/','\' search (partly done, currently only the displayed page is
                         searched which is not that useful)
     'h'  (GLOBAL_HELP)

o  Add to the attachment menu ('V'):
     'F'  post followup to current article, not including current attachment
     'R'  reply through mail to author, not including current attachment
          or
     'R'  (GLOBAL_BUGREPORT)
     'f'  post followup to current article, including current (or tagged)
          attachment(s)
     'm'  mail attachment
     'o'  print attachment
     'r'  reply through mail to author, including current attachment
     't'  tag attachments for '|', 'p', 's', 'm' (done for 's')
     '#'  tag range of attachments (n-m)
     'x'  repost current attachment to another group
     '%'  (toggle rot13 encoding of screen content)
     '&'  (GLOBAL_TOGGLE_COLOR)

o  Add a commandline switch (-V) that prints out all values of cpp-symbols
   etc. [partly done, but should be cleaned up]

o  Reorganize tinrc into related sections for easier editing
   e.g., Display, Posting etc.

o  A system-wide tinrc configuration file (to hold some defaults).
   [done: /etc/tin/tinrc] A key code to reset to the system defaults.
   Maybe a second file which could be used to force settings (eg
   inews & mailer) (tin.defaults [--with-defaults-dir] is a start)

o  when From: only contains "First-name Last-name" tin strips the
   Last-name in group/thread/page-level
   [20020319 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  Bounce duplicate Message-ID's when the headers are read. This will
   make the threading code happier too.
   Make read_overview() more forgiving of errors. If the article # is okay,
   then there is no reason to completely hide the article
   [Jason Faultless <jason@altarstone.com>]

o  Merge the selection code with the range code. Having two similar methods
   of picking articles with similar goals is wasteful.
   [Jason Faultless <jason@altarstone.com>]

o  add check for liblzma/libbzip2/zlib (>=1.1.4)/[mini]lzo
   (<http://tukaani.org/xz/>, <http://sources.redhat.com/bzip2/>,
    <http://www.gzip.org/zlib/>, <http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/>)
   and add an option to write/read {g,b,l}zipped local overviews.
   liblzma, zlib, libbzip2 and lzo might also be used for post-processing.

o  add check for GPGME (<http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/gpgme/>) and if
   found use it for pgp actions.

o  rewrite/cleanup all the debugging code, the output in /tmp is messy; the
   on screen output either slows down things dramatically or is unreadable;
   add timestamps to at least the NNTP-log; split DEBUG_MISC?

Posting enhancements
--------------------
o  sort Followup-To:/Newsgroups: after stripping doubled newsgroups and
   before checking if they are identical, if so, strip Followup-To: and
   use unsorted but stripped Newsgroups:-line only
   ulBuildArgv() would be good for this

o  if Newsgroups:-line has groups in it which are not present in the users
   active file ask the user if he wants to strip these groups from the
   newsgroups-line (N/y)
   do the same for Followup-To:

o  check if any valid groups are in the Followup-To:-line and if not inform
   the user and use Newsgroups: instead (at the start of post_response())

o  bring up a warning on a long Newsgroups: (>=5) line and
   force the user to confirm every single group he wants to post (or
   redirect followups to) in. (N/y)

o  bring up a warning when trying to f'up into a binary group
   (use a regexp to detect binary groups e.g.:
    (?:\.binae?r|de\.alt\.dateien\.))
   (Warning, sending a followup to a binary group is undesired, post it
    anyway? N/y)
   [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  posting to a binary group should warn if no followup is set to another
   group/poster (you have not set a target for a possible discussion on your
   post, would you like to go on anyway? N/y)
   [Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  when posting to a group containing uppercase-letters: bring up a
   warning: "Newsgroup-names should be all lowercase, correct it? (Y/n)"

o  Enhance -n to take newsgroup name as argument and use group_get_art_info()
   to allow posting to groups other than those in newsrc.

o  add config option for (external) viewer to show postings stored in
   keep_posted_articles_file
   [20021003 Michael Gerhards <HM-Gerhards@uni.de>]

Filtering enhancements
----------------------
o  add spamassassin interface when ever adding body filters

o  add used filter-type to filter file or filter rule or use different
   filter files for wildmat/regexp

o  add command: mark all articles older/newer than <date> (or <days>) as
   read (useful when subscribing to a new group with high-traffic...)

o  fix kill/hot mechanism so that it is possible to match articles on
   arbitrary headers

o  don't strip "Re: " out of the subject before applying the filter on it

o  allow any given amount of days in default_filter_days not only
   {1, 2, 4} * 28 days

o  allow expiring filter entrys n-days after the last time they matched

o  add command to generate filter rules for all currently tagged articles

Pager enhancements
------------------
o  add 'autoview' (spawn external viewer) 'autohide' (don't even show info
   about that part) for different content-types

o  integrate multi-part tagging with regular tagging, eg.
   "This article appears to have multi-parts, try and find them (y/n)?"

o  add Content-Language (RFC 3282) analysis

o  suppress hide_uue=2 checking unless first line in an article or following
   a blank line

Internal Changes
----------------
o  rewrite mini-help, remove the long strings and generate them dynamicly
   one help text for each key makes translations more easy and uniq and can
   use the available space on the screen much better if not running on 80
   columns.
   [20100326 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  rewrite auth.c
   - turn t_bool authinfo_user, authinfo_sasl, authinfo_state into
     enum authinfo { NONE = 0, USER = 1, SASL = 2 }

o  make article numbers (u)int_least64_t/PRI[iu]LEAST64 (on OSs where possible),
   provide useful fallbacks if system doesn't have <inttypes.h>/<stdint.h>
   (check for long long and if present use "%lld";
   #ifdef int_least64_t typedef artnum_t int_least64_t #else ...).
   use atoll/strtoll for parsing article numbers. (#ifdef HAVE ATOLL
   #define atoartnum atoll #else ...)
   [20050728 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  fix aclocal.m4:CF_FUNC_SYSTEM and/or misc.c:invoke_cmd() that
   --enable-broken-system-fix/IGNORE_SYSTEM_STATUS isn't needed anymore.
   [20090520 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  tinrc.confirm_choice should be written/read as int, not string as users
   who edit the tinrc manually can't know the exact strings required.
   unfortunately rc_update() can't handle type changes (rc_update should
   also get the split version number as arg so we can do specific
   changes).
   [20081112 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  use read()/write() instead of fputs()/fgets()

o  move several (server related) files into the per-server dir
   e.g.:
      ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR-"${TIN_HOMEDIR-"$HOME"}/.tin"}/.news${NNTPSERVER+"-$NNTPSERVER"}/
   should be
      ${TIN_INDEX_NEWSDIR-"${TIN_HOMEDIR-"$HOME"}/.tin"}${NNTPSERVER+"/$NNTPSERVER"}/.news/
   [20050807 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  upgrade configure-script to >= autoconf-2.61
   [20050728 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  remove untranslatable constructs like txt_prefix_*
   [20050413 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  keys which could be renamed/merged:
   - 'm' GroupMail, PageMail, PostMail, ThreadMail
   - 'N' GroupNextUnreadArt, PageNextUnreadArt, (SelectNextUnreadGrp)
   - 'S' GroupAutoSave, PageAutoSave, ThreadAutoSave
   - 'P' GroupPrevUnreadArt, PagePrevUnreadArt
   - '@' GroupReverseSel, ThreadReverseSel
   - '~' GroupUndoSel, ThreadUndoSel
   [20050408 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  read_overview() calls eat_re() which strips the "Re: " out of the
   subject. the modified subject is used for batch_mode opperatios (-N/-M)
   which might not be what ppl. expect and eat_re() is the only function

o  use new_nntp_command() instead of nntp_command() in the rest of the
   code (where useful; if we do a global change, rename it to
   nntp_command()). see check_extensions() for a sample usage.

o  clean up $AUTOSUBSCRIBE code (the NNTP code path is a mess)

o  close potential security holes:
   - change all system()/popen() calls to fork() and exec() calls
   - check where we should use snprintf() instead of sprintf()
   - check where we should use strncat() instead of strcat()
   - check where we should use strncpy() instead of strcpy()

Unicode
-------
o  add UTF-8 (unicode) support (RFC 2279)
   (see <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html>)
   if we ever want to add UTF-7 (RFC 2152) (posting) support (I don't
   think this is needed) we have to encode it ourself (as iconv()
   might encode <, @, > which leads to illegal headers) or split
   headers into "encoding part" and "rest" ...
   [local_charset <-> UTF-8 which needs iconv() is added;
    20010830 urs@tin.org]

o  make select/group/thread/page-level multibyte "safe". they all use
   strlen(), strncpy(), strncat(), snprintf() to build the screen - but
   in a multibyte environment (e.g. mm_local_charset=UTF-8) this is a
   fault. [mostly done for ncursesw]

o  make mm_network_charset an "option_list" to avoid junk input or
   undesired (UTF-1, UTF-7, UTF-16*, UTF-32*, UCS-2, UCS-4, ...) encodings.
   add configure check for the hardcoded charsets (try iconv_open(x,
   us-ascii) on each...) and disable those not available.
   (think about more network charsets (GB2312, GB18030, Shift_JIS,
    ISO-8859-6[-{I,E}], ISO-8859-8[-{I,E}], ISO-8859-11, VISCII, VIQR;
    check wether KOI8-RU is still used/valid))
   [done except configure check 20010907 urs@tin.org]

o  make mm_network_charset an user configurable item list
   ("US-ASCII:ISO-8859-1:ISO-8859-9:ISO-8859-15:UTF-8",
    "US-ASCII:ISO 8859-5:KOI8-R:UTF-8",
    "EUC-CN:ISO-2022-CN:ISO-2022-CN-EXT:Big5:UTF-8", whatever)
   and try all given charsets in order till the one is found which matches
   best (i.e. can display most (all) of the chars in the article).
   [20050805 <urs@tin.org>]

o  add IDNA support (RFC 3490ff.)
   (<http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/> might be useful)
   (added minimalistic IDNA decoding support if a recent libidn is found, urs)
   [20030917 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

Docs/online help
----------------
o  the documentation of PageFollowupQuoteHeaders (^W) and
   PageReplyQuoteHeaders (^E) is wrong as not all headers but just those
   visible via news_headers_to_display (or all if raw mode is on
   (PageToggleHeaders (^H)) are included.
   [20100911 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  the online help of GroupMarkUnselArtRead 'X' is unclear as it doesn't
   say that the article are marked read
   [20090814 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  document the different singnals/actions (i.e. SIGUSR2 writes newsrc)
   [20080209 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  exit staus documentation in the manpage isn't correct, we have more
   exit codes than just 0/1 (and 2 in the -Z case).
   [20080320 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  review the danish, swedish, turkish, russian and kinyarwanda translations
   (da.po, sv.po, tr.po, ru.po, rw.po); add/finish man-page translation(s).

o  add installation guide (in html)

o  add cross-compilation hints
   	CC="crosscc" LD="crossld" AR="crossar" RANLIB=":" MAKE="crossmake" \
   	./configure --with-build-cc=gcc --with-build-cpp=cpp \
   	--target=cross-traget-tripple --without-x # usual configure flags

o  better document keymap feature

o  man page always needs work and proof reading
   e.g. 'U', 'V' in pager need better documentation, random organization
   feature isn't documented at all.

o  tin.defaults could use more documentation in manpage (tin.5)

o  replace "\\" by "\e" in manpages (portable?)

o  integrate doc/auth.txt into tin.1-manpage

Not yet classified
------------------
o  what about !us-ascii chars in username/password when using
   AUTHINFO USER/PASS? Currently they are sent as is, RFC 3977 says
   "The character set for all NNTP commands is UTF-8", RFC 4643 doesn't
   mention any special handling.

o  fix memleaks on early exits (i.e. host unreachable, auth failed, ...)
   [20100517 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  charset conversion fails when converting articles from multibyte charsets
   with 0 bytes (UCS2, UCS4, UTF-16[[LB]E], UTF-32[[LB]E], ...), currently
   we just skip over such parts instead of handling them properly
   [20100905 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  add "COMPRESS DEFLATE" support once it's official? this would require a
   rewrite of the code which reads data from the network (which should be
   done anyway for TLS) as we must handle null-bytes in the stream.
   <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-murchison-nntp-compress-01.txt>
   [20100122 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  the documentation suggests that novrootdir/$TIN_NOVROOTDIR defaults to
   spooldir/$TIN_SPOOLDIR if unset, which is not exactly what happens as
   this default is set at configure/compile time, not at runtime, so
   setting $TIN_SPOOLDIR to something different than the default will not
   automatically adjust $TIN_NOVROOTDIR at runtime. we should either
   fix the documentation or the behaviour.

o  add //IGNORE iconv-option like //TRANSLIT?
   [20080824 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  what about REDIRECT_OUTPUT? shouldn't we better add this to DEFAULT_PRINTER
   so ppl. can override it via the 'M'enu? and shouldn't DEFAULT_PRINTER be
   detected via configure?
   [20080625 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  create debug output in
   ${TIN_HOMEDIR-"$HOME"}/.tin"}${NNTPSERVER+"/$NNTPSERVER"}
   instead of in $TMPDIR (as it may contain username and password,
   access restrictions in $TMPDIR are a bad idea as other users
   need to be able to overwrite the file)
   [20080211 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  -M/-N report is malied to userid, should we use tinrc.mail_address
   instead?

o  tin uses the first sig-isolator as recent one, USEFOR says it should
   use the last. There is no consensus that tin should follow this USEFOR
   requirement.

o  'K' is still a bit inconsistent:
   - in the group and thread menu it marks current item read & jumps to the
     next unread item.
   - in the article pager (page.c) it marks the rest of the current thread
     read and jumps to the next unread article. should we let 'K' behave
     like <TAB> in the pager?

o  rename prompt_followupto (to prompt_extra_headres) and make it an option
   list like {"Followup-To"; "Summary"; "Keywords";
   "Followup-To & Summary"; "Followup-To & Keywords";
   "Summary & Keywords"; "Followup-To, Summary & Keywords"} or make it a
   user-definable text field like news_headers_to_display? or leave this
   entirely to the user - he could tweak attributes accrodingly.
   [20060503 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  in several places only the latest keybinding is shown in prompts
    (e.g. "q=quit, e=edit, i=ispell, g=pgp, M=menu, w=post, o=postpone: w"
     with "PostPost	p	y	w" in keymaps)
   should we try to show them all?

   [20040325 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  trn and perls Net::NNTP::Auth use ~/.nntpauth (format is

   find a matching entry in ~/.newsauth?
   [20040128 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  what todo if in a CTE: x-uue the CD: filename differs from the one given
   in the begin line? IMHO we should use the one from the begin line for
   saving and in the overview in the pager.
   [urs@tin.org]

o  inverse_okay's Menu description isn't accurate (invers is also used for
   URL highlighting). mono_mark* do allow "Reverse video" even if
   inverse_okay=FALSE.

o  --disable-inverse-video seems to be ignored - do we still need it?

o  move tinrc.defaults for certain comands to a pre-filled .inputhistory?
   (if so, also move last_search there)
   [Jason Faultless]

o  what about -a cmd-line flag? is this really needed? IMHO this can be
   dropped, '&' can be used for runtime color toggling.

o  commas in real-name might cause problems in mail-replys
   From: Last, First <user@accou.nt> (which is illegal) leads to
   To: Last, First<user@accou.nt> which is last@localhost,user@accou.nt
   should we try to fix things and quote the realname part?
   [20021007 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  setting TIN_HOMEDIR to a non-existent dir gives a "Filesystem full"

   [20010629 Urs Janssen <urs@tin.org>]

o  update gettext stuff to > gettext-0.12.1

o  clean up included pcre stuff and update to >= pcre-8.10

o  what is with conflicting tinrc settings? should we disallow those, or leave
   it to the user to realise that e.g. strip_blanks=ON && inverse_okay=ON
   looks ugly?

o  shows up cross-postings multiple times even if read once before getting
   a resync/reread active/newsrc-file

o  think about group numbering in "only unread" display mode
   (using different numbers in show all/show only unread leads to some
    problems, f.e. group moving)

o  remove tinrc.strip_blanks? IMHO it's not needed anymore

o  missing newsrc file and connecting to a server without groups leads to the
   question "Try and save newsrc file again? (Y/n)" but a newsrc file doesn't
   get written. Same may occur on quitting if newsrc file had been removed
   while tin was running. Useful? Should write_newsrc() try to create a newsrc
   file if it is missing instead of just leaving?
   [20061102 Dirk Nimmich <nimmich@muenster.de>]

o  cleanup main.c/init_selfinfo()
   ('strace -e trace=file tin' and/or 'ltrace -e getenv tin' and you know
    what I mean)
   [fixed some of the double/tripple reads, urs]

o  re add innlib support? (the old one was dropped as the lib has retired
   all (which were not that many) features we used and our code didn't
   use the innlibs code where ever it was possible (and useful).
