t-prot-*-debug.diff =================== With this patch applied t-prot dumps a lot of debugging output to "/tmp/t-prot-d_$PID_*". You might want to use the command line parameter "--debugpath" to change the storage location for this data, so the data (which contains the entire message you process) will not be stored where other users have read/write permissions (which would otherwise compromise confidential messages you might process). Please be careful not to apply this patch for daily use. It is solely intended for easier providing debug data when reporting bugs to the t-prot team (if you encounter any bugs, please drop a message to -- thanks!). t-prot-*-ftr.diff ================= With this patch applied t-prot makes footer detection really greedy: We assume that commercial email providers aren't even frightened to append changing texts *under* their ads which are appended to the message body. Because these texts even have changing *lengths* we simply detect the lines of the footer *anywhere* in the body of the message and assume that everything below belongs to the footer. (Man, if life where always that easy! ;) With this patch even GMX ads should be easy to hide -- you buy this with a slight performance hit (which is the reason the patch hasn't made it into the vanilla tree yet), and with the possibility that sometimes the algorithm is just a little *too* greedy.
