>Description:
mail/asmail is a xbiff like program tailored for AfterStep's
Wharf.

asmail-0.56, the current version, has a bug that prevent user
to specify port number for IMAP4 folder to check e-mails.
This is because asmail's parser of user configuration file
don't parse folder specification for IMAP4 correctly.

This problem prevent user from using ssh-port-forwarding for
IMAP4.

>How-To-Repeat:
Specify IMAP4 folder like,
>Fix:
I have made a patch and send the asmail's maintainer on May, 2001.  He said next version will fix the problem but the
development of asmail seems to be dead.

The patch is also placed at my website:
http://matsu-www.is.titech.ac.jp/~maruyama/patch-asmail-pop.c


>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 >>imap.foo.com joe.doe mypassword portnumber mymailbox
 
 asmail-0.56 handles this as:
 port = portnumber, mailbox = portnumber
 
 This should be treated as:
 port = portnumber, mailbox = mymailbox
