List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Xref: main.gmane.org gmane.emacs.devel:4731 X-Report-Spam: http://spam.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel:4731 I've written a Perl script, b2m.pl, to provide the same functionality as b2m.c and M-x unrmail while addressing all of the problems listed above. It is attached to this message. I'd be happy to have you distribute it as part of GNU Emacs instead of, or in addition to, the b2m C program. I will maintain it if you do so. Thanks. We are planning to make Rmail use inbox format, and when that happens, lots of Rmail users will want to do this conversion. Having a better program to do it is therefore very desirable. I don't know Perl and I could not maintain this, but since you are willing to maintain it, we can use it, provided you sign legal papers for it. Please email the following information to fsf-records@gnu.org, and we will send you the assignment form that covers your program. Please use your full legal name (in ASCII characters) as the subject line of the message. [What is the name of the program or package you're contributing?] b2m.pl (for Emacs) [Did you copy any files or text written by someone else into the program? Even if that material is free software, we need to know about it.] [Do you have an employer who might have a basis to claim to own your changes? Do you attend a school which might make such a claim?] [What country are you a citizen of?] [What year were you born?] [Please write your email address here.] [Please write your postal address here.]
