You are funny. You are using a common name for an alias and
posting through individual.net (a favorite of trolls because
it hides the identity of the poster) and are using an email
address at

$ whois 65.98.21.108

OrgName: Pegasus Web Technologies

Which has a website at http://lusars.net that has nothing
on it.

You must think that people are really stupid.

That's a throwaway domain about as useful for identifying
someone as a gmail address.

And you think that people are just going to install the
software you publish?

I'd guess that you are used to the mindless consumers
from the Windows world.

Just to be thorough: This fellow should have sent the patch
to mutt.org for them to check out. If it was worthy and safe,
they'd put it up on the website.

A used car salesman and a hacker?

The last time he posted here, he had a different email address:

From: Mike Hunter <mhunter+usenet@lusArs.net>
Newsgroups: comp.mail.mutt
Subject: Desperate to spell-check Subject line
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2006 23:44:56 -0600
Message-ID: <slrndugcuo.iqu.mhunter@thirtyseven.lusars.net>

Why? And why the empty website for at least 6 weeks? In a parent
domain devoted to web publishing?

To use their mailserver, would be my guess. (If they entire
parent domain isn't his) Bet ya that mail from it does not
any posting IP but lusars.net.

He may have good intentions in _this_ case, but I don't trust him
enough to install that patch.

He could vanish like he never existed. I was wrong in my first
post here. That domain (lusars.net) could vanish like it never
was in a blink. Gmail can't.

Nor will I believe any possible sockpuppets that show up
vouching for him or the software.

Just the subject line, which is all that he writes.

He said that he didn't want to spellcheck with the editor that
Mutt calls, which certainly suggests that he doesn't have that
capability.

Spammer.

Bet he spams the people that post on those auto groups, just
for starters. And probably the groups themselves, using
different aliases and newsservers.

I'd guess that he only connects to the Internet from a laptop
through various free wireless connections offered by businesses
all over the place. While he sits in a car or van.

You might be better off sending the patch to mutt-dev for the developers to
take a look at it - I don't know how actively any of them read this
newsgroup. You can find the link on the mutt.org website.

I post through my unix shell account; I don't know how the sys-admin has
news set up.

A google search for Mike Hunter will reveal to you my lusArs.net
homepage.

I was hoping that tech-savvy people would review it and send me their
comments. I think it's good to be careful about what software you run;
in the case of this modest patch, it's small enough for people to do a
reasonably thorough review of the code.

I'm planning to do that, I was hoping to get some feedback from some
people first.

freebsd.hackers is a technical mailing list about FreeBSD, and it uses
the term hacker in the classic sense.

Look up the term "plussed detail addressing"

I don't expect anybody to trust me, I expect you to read the code. If
you can't audit it and/or aren't interested in it, then don't install it.

I'm starting to think I'm being trolled. Why would I use Mutt to spam
with?

I have been trolled. Fuck.

I guess people on usenet are smart enough to use killfiles to weed out
they stuff that you post, but I must say that you're doing a disservice
to this Mutt group or any technical discussion group by spewing your
conspiracy-theory crapola all over the place. In all seriousness, if
you cared about Mutt, you'd go bother a more receptive newsgroup.

Individual.net would seem a poor choice for trolls since
they charge 10 EUR up front for a year's access and all
they need is the (public) Message-ID to disable the account
of a troll for AUP violation. In addition, they run a fairly
aggressive [Cleanfeed][1] system.

And surely all reputable Usenet service providers allow
customers to decide whether or not to reveal their true
identity when posting?

You have mush in your head. It's 30 lines of code. READ IT. Mike
Hunter may be a used car salesman hacker...but more likely a geek that
drives a toyota.

Oh...and count me a sock puppet, it just so happens that I've known him
since I was 12...and he's been a lusAr almost as long.

We seem to have acquired a resident weirdo, unfortunately. He does
occasionally contribute something useful, though often it unnecessarily
involves procmail for some reason.

But he's best ignored when he starts wibbling about from addresses
(particularly since his is invalid) and posting Google groups histories
(which are usually wrong).

Lets see : this guy posts a patch for his favorite email
client. Arguably to the wrong place : certainly other places would
benefit too. You, on the other hand, post about 5 posts calling him a
spammer and basically talking through your ass. Hmm. I wonder who
people believe?

Now I get it : you're a parody of a a disturbed advocate. Hehe. Very,
very well done.
