Pronto -fs series

The beauty of Open Source is that you can change things you don't like the way they are. Therefore I decided to provide several Pronto tarballs with the changes I made. In order to be able to differ between those unofficial packages I decided to call them the -fs series.

Pronto v3 (Gtk2)

Introduction

It is finally there - our favourite email client using Gtk2!
Much work has been done to port Pronto to Gtk2 and the result is in my opinion quite presentable. It has nearly all the bells and whistles of the Gtk1 version. I'm using it on a daily basis perhaps since March 2004 and I think that there aren't any serious bugs left. There are two minor drawbacks however: You cannot display html mails anymore and cpronto, the Pronto console client, won't work with this Pronto version, too.

Screenshots

If you aren't convinced by now that you want to have a Gtk2 capable Pronto have a look at those beautiful screenshots:

1. The main window
2. The compose window
3. Verifying my own signature

Requirements

Here are the links to the Gtk2 stuff you'll additionally need:

• Gtk2
• gtk2-perl
• gtk2-spell (optional)

Download

Grab the source for Pronto 3.0.3-fs (signature). The complete changelog is available, too.

Pronto v2 (Gtk1)

Introduction

This is my continuation of the "old" Pronto version 2 series for which I have mostly made crypto additions.
As it is quite complicated to manage a lose collection of patches for a official Prono release, I provide Pronto tarballs with all my patches applied.

Changes

Changes since Pronto 2.4.0:

• Added keyserver lookup for unknown GPG keys.
• One can now verify PKCS7 signatures (openssl required).
• Detached signatures can be verified. (RFC 2015)
• Attachments without a name get their content-type as a name in the attachment view/save menu now.
• Reduced the GPG output amount to a sensible amount.
• Long emails can be signed now, too.
• Added the possibility to define filters for outgoing messages.
• Mail can now be signed with detached signatures, too. (RFC 2015)
• Added decryption for messages with encrypted MIME parts. (RFC 2015)

Pronto WebMail client

Introduction

The Pronto WebMail client is a interface to access your email database through a (hopefully) nice webinterface.
It features quite strong user authentication through the usage of one-time passwords.

Changes

• 2002-10-08: Fixed a bug in the view template that caused the header pane to be displayed at the end of a long message.
• 2002-10-07: Let the compose window be resizable at least. (I really need a better looking solution.)
• 2002-10-05: Made checkboxes for all folders the default to change several messages at once.
• 2002-09-05: Deleting messages from the db updates the folder list now.
• 2002-09-03: You can now keep your session valid as long as the client is displayed.
• 2002-09-01: The selected folder and message have a different background now.
• 2002-09-01: Major update: To make the client much faster it has been more or less completely rewritten, it uses SpeedyCGI now.
• 2002-08-24: First release
