Moritz Poldrack fad90c2956 open-link: make URL parsing more lenient
URLs are extremely loosely defined and can take many shapes which may
not be parsed at all if unusual characters like the exclamation mark are
present. To ensure lists and odd use of spaces are not parsed as links
some sanity-checks are in place:
	- the URL's schema must be at least two characters long
	- the URL's authority, path, and fragment must have a combined
	  length of 8 characters or longer
	- the URL must not contain a whitespace character, >, ), or "
	- the URL may only contain a ] when followed by a different allowed
	  character or at the end of the line (necessary for IPv6
	  authorities)

The tests for this function now include links with an exclamation point
and IPv6 addresses. The tests are given names to be easier identifiable.

aerc

builds.sr.ht status GitHub macOS CI status

aerc is an email client for your terminal.

This is a fork of the original aerc by Drew DeVault.

A short demonstration can be found on https://aerc-mail.org/

Join the IRC channel: #aerc on irc.libera.chat for end-user support, and development.

Usage

On its first run, aerc will copy the default config files to ~/.config/aerc on Linux or ~/Library/Preferences/aerc on MacOS (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aerc if set) and show the account configuration wizard.

If you redirect stdout to a file, logging output will be written to that file:

$ aerc > log

Note that the example HTML filter (off by default), additionally needs w3m and dante to be installed.

Documentation

Also available as man pages:

User contributions and integration with external tools:

Installation

Binary Packages

Recent versions of aerc are available on:

And likely other platforms.

From Source

Install the dependencies:

  • go (>=1.16) (Go versions are supported until their end-of-life; support for older versions may be dropped at any time due to incompatibilities or newer required language features.)
  • scdoc

Then compile aerc:

$ make

aerc optionally supports notmuch. To enable it, you need to have a recent version of notmuch, including the header files (notmuch.h). Then compile aerc with the necessary build tags:

$ GOFLAGS=-tags=notmuch make

To install aerc locally:

# make install

By default, aerc will install config files to directories under /usr/local/aerc, and will search for templates and stylesets in these locations in order:

  • ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/aerc
  • ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/aerc
  • /usr/local/share/aerc
  • /usr/share/aerc

At build time it is possible to add an extra location to this list and to use that location as the default install location for config files by setting the PREFIX option like so:

# make PREFIX=/custom/location
# make install PREFIX=/custom/location

This will install templates and other config files to /custom/location/share/aerc, and man pages to /custom/location/share/man. This extra location will have lower priority than the XDG locations but higher than the fixed paths.

Anyone can contribute to aerc. Please refer to the contribution guidelines
