Subject: elm-me+: fmt would be useful as a standalone utility
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.9
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: elm-me+
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist
I like the frm(1) program which comes with Elm, but I don't wish to
install the whole Elm package for a single small utility.
Would you consider moving the non-Elm-specific utilities into their
own separate package? Most of the following I think could benefit from
being made available to a broader audience.
usr/bin/answer mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/checkalias mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/fastmail mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/frm mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/listalias mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/messages mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/newalias mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/newmail mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/nfrm mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/printmail mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/readmsg mail/elm-me+
usr/bin/wnewmail mail/elm-me+
(Not intimately familiar with many of these -- no doubt some of them
will only work with Elm aliases or something.)
Meanwhile, I'm sure I can cook up a simple shell function with
formail(1) for my own needs, so this is definitely a wishlist-level
report.

Agreed. The thing is, elm-me+ utilities use a common library which is
more than twice the size of mailutils.
Thanks,
