But I've never grown up Bill. Wider at times but never up. My 3rd wife of
31 years if she makes it to Dec 2nd would be the first to confirm that.
She is in a rest home and has a bone infection from a broken hip
(replaced 3 years ago) thats gone septic and is very painful. But she
has said several times in the last 2 days that she has hurt long enough,
get it over with so they are not going to operate to try and clean it
up. So I may be alone before that 31st anniversary rolls around. That
will make 3 women I've outlived. The first gave me two girls and a boy,
in the decade before she had a stroke and died, all are gone now. I
still miss her. The 2nd gave me 3 more boys who've done well, And Dee
and I were both neutered long ago. So I've been alone for about 4 months
now. A man isn't supposed to outlive his kids but I seem to have the
nack.
Right now its day by day. I try to keep busy, but...

Hi, Gene!
I want to be just like you when I grow up.
Not horribly important, but whenever KMail checks
mail is
‘freezes’ for a bit and interrupts typing/mouse clicks (just for
KMail, rest of system runs fine).
Would it be hard to make KMail multi-threaded? I’m assuming
that’d ‘fix’ the freezes…
Again, not at all critical, but if it’s easy, I’ll get off my butt
and put in a feature request.
I was given to understand a decade back by Ingo Kloker that it was
going to be a major rewrite.
So I did the next best thing. using fetchmail I took that job away
from kmail by running as a daemon set to go get any email there
might be at my ISP's mail server, and configured it to use procmail
as the MTA. Then I learned to write recipes for procmail to get rid
of the worst of the spammers, the wrote more recipes to filter
incoming thru clamav, and ditto spamd so at least 75% of that crap
goes to /dev/null.
What survives that gauntlet gets dumped into /var/mail/name, and
another scrip has launched inotifywait to watch that buffer
location. Inotifywait exits with the name of the file and my script
then uses dbus to send kmail a get the mail command. And relaunches
inotifywait again. So the freeze is reduced to a few milliseconds
while it gets that incoming mail and sorts it to the correct folder.
Sounds a bit complex but it all Just Works. 2 mouse clicks to answer
a message as I am doing now. Whats not to like?
Cheers, Gene Heskett Bill
