It then runs 10through the list, passing in those, then calls any registered process 11callbacks after the list is exhausted. Note that finishing the list * 12does not* cause the connection to be terminated and the add-ons to be 13destructed. Single pass add-ons (e.g. POP and Outbox) register a 14process callback that calls ChainRunner::Stop(). 15 16MailProtocol/MailFilter: 17 No longer sets the unique id, because it's passed in. Calls 18GetMessages(), and uses ReportProgress() and ShowError() methods of 19ChainRunner instead of using the functions in status.h. Also sets SIZE 20attribute in out_headers that contains the final downloaded size of the 21message. Also now passed a ChainRunner instead of a StatusView. 22 23That's about it, really. 24-Nathan 25
