OK, so I'll have a look at replacing all email handling with *Email::Send*.
[[!tag patch]]
-*<http://www.thomas.schwinge.homeip.net/tmp/ikiwiki-sendmail.patch>*
+*<http://nic-nac-project.de/~schwinge/ikiwiki/0001-Use-Email-Send-instead-of-Mail-Sendmail.patch>*
Remaining TODOs:
* Resolve TODOs as denoted inside the patch.
+ * Update for the last years of ikiwiki development, such as adapting the
+ [[plugins/notifyemail]] plugin.
+ * Is this
+ [[UTF-8-safe|bugs/password_reset_fails_with___34__Wide_character_in_subroutine_entry__34__]]?
* Is it worthwhile to use and depend on [[!cpan Return::Value]]
just for this bit of functionality?
* Debian news file.
