tioga (part 3)

💡 the RSS feed has issues. It is doing a quick "remove the HTML" pass. What is needed, instead, is a separate "xml_generator.py" file.

also: the earlyversion mail server is finally working. now I just have to configure the mailboxes. and maybe have a mailbox that earlyversion reads via IMAP. 🤖 ( A mail server requires SMTP-in, SMTP-out, and IMAP to handle email communication efficiently. SMTP-in is responsible for receiving emails from external senders, listening on port 25 and storing incoming messages in the recipient’s mailbox. SMTP-out, on the other hand, is used to send emails from local users to external recipients, typically operating on port 587 (or 465 for SSL).
IMAP allows users to access and manage their stored emails from multiple devices while keeping everything synchronized. Unlike POP3, IMAP ensures that messages remain on the server, providing features like folder management and search functionality. It operates on port 143 (or 993 for secure connections) ) ⚙️ ( one problem with an email API is that it is difficult to verify the sender of an email is who it says it is. not impossible, but hard.)

as far as CSS classes: Claude (after some poking) suggests using "msg", "ui", and "layout" prefixes to cut through the naming complexity. and, possibly, "atacama" for the colortext blocks. 💡 ( it is a good idea ... if i ever do the renaming)
