[Pan-users] 0.115 compile notes and feature request

[Peter B. Steiger]

I was having a heck of a time building with gcc 3.4.6 in 512MB; it kept
hanging on scorefile-test until I looked through the archives and found
a suggestion to remove -O2 from my CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, and that was the
trick.  Y'all might want to put that in the FAQ or INSTALL or something.

Anyhow, as others have remarked this one looks like a winner.  No memory
leaks, and I follow a binaries group that dumps entire 30- and 60-
minute old-time radio shows every day.

One feature request I'd like to throw in the pot is probably trivial to
someone who knows string parsing better than I do.  Some folks use an
email address as their "real" name, with the result that the name in
quotes on the FROM line is pretty long, like this:

From: "address@hidden" <address@hidden>

For the past several versions, pan has wisely truncated that to the left
side of the address, but it keeps the leftmost quote.  The result is
when you reply, it writes:

On 10/01/06, "john-jakob said:

Can you drop that left quotation mark when including the user name as
part of the quote header?

Sorry I couldn't come up with something more significant to complain
about... really, 0.115 is the Best.  Release.  Ever.
