1 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
6 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
8 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
10 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
11 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
14 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
15 'static' from the definitions here.
16 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
18 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
19 support get_ctinfo change).
20 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
21 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
22 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
23 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
24 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
25 suffixes, not prefixes.
26 (openMail): Explain showproc.
28 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
29 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
31 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
32 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
34 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
36 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
38 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
39 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
40 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
41 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
43 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
45 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
48 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
49 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
50 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
52 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
54 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
55 autotools in the right order
56 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
58 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
59 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
60 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
62 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
64 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
65 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
67 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
69 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
70 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
71 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
72 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
73 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
75 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
77 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
80 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
82 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
83 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
84 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
85 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
86 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
87 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
88 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
90 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
92 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
93 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
95 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
96 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
97 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
98 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
99 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
101 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
102 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
103 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
105 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
106 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
107 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
108 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
109 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
110 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
111 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
112 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
113 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
115 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
117 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
120 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
122 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
123 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
124 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
125 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
126 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
127 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
129 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
131 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
133 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
135 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
136 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
139 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
140 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
141 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
143 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
146 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
148 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
149 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
150 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
152 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
153 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
154 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
156 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
158 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
159 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
160 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
161 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
162 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
163 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
164 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
166 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
168 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
169 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
171 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
173 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
174 with multibyte support.
176 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
177 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
178 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
179 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
181 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
183 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
184 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
186 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
187 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
189 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
191 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
192 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
193 the address of a static array.
195 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
197 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
198 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
200 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
202 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
203 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
204 This allows users to masquerade with the default
205 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
206 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
207 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
210 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
212 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
213 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
214 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
215 ruserpass() has a void return type.
217 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
218 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
219 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
220 provide memmove() substitute implementation
222 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
223 source directory' feature
225 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
226 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
228 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
230 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
231 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
232 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
235 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
237 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
238 is the wrong approach.
240 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
241 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
242 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
245 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
246 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
247 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
248 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
249 broken for continued lines from the server.
251 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
253 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
254 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
256 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
258 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
260 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
263 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
265 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
267 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
269 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
270 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
271 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
272 obsolete feature of autoconf
274 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
276 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
277 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
278 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
280 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
282 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
283 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
285 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
287 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
290 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
292 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
293 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
294 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
295 following done() (should never be reached).
297 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
299 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
300 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
302 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
304 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
305 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
307 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
309 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
310 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
311 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
312 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
313 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
314 acconfig.h if you must.
316 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
318 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
319 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
320 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
321 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
323 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
325 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
328 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
330 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
331 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
332 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
333 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
334 have Content-Disposition.
336 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
338 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
341 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
343 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
344 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
346 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
348 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
349 encoded block is empty
351 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
353 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
354 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
355 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
358 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
360 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
361 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
364 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
366 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
367 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
368 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
369 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
372 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
373 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
375 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
377 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
378 function num_digits into utils.c
380 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
382 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
383 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
384 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
386 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
388 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
389 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
390 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
391 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
392 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
393 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
394 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
395 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
397 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
399 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
400 Content-Disposition header.
402 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
404 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
405 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
406 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
407 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
408 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
409 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
410 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
411 users to easily accomodate that by adding
412 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
414 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
416 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
417 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
419 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
421 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
423 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
424 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
426 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
427 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
429 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
431 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
432 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
433 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
434 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
435 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
438 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
440 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
441 widths, restoring right justification feature
443 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
445 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
446 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
447 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
449 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
452 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
454 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
455 handling multi column characters.
457 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
459 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
461 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
463 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
464 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
467 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
469 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
471 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
473 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
476 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
478 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
481 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
483 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
484 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
485 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
486 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
488 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
490 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
491 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
492 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
493 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
494 where configure's autodetection fails.
496 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
498 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
499 configure script change.
501 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
503 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
504 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
505 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
508 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
510 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
511 the context is only read once.
513 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
515 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
516 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
518 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
520 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
521 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
523 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
524 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
527 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
528 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
531 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
533 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
534 vi isn't found during build.
536 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
538 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
539 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
541 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
542 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
543 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
545 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
547 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
548 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
550 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
551 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
552 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
553 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
556 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
557 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
558 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
560 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
561 entry in the context file.
563 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
565 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
566 problems on some systems
568 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
569 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
571 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
573 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
574 sendmail isn't found during build.
576 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
578 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
580 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
582 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
583 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
585 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
586 references to the web page and mailing list locations
588 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
589 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
591 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
594 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
596 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
597 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
598 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
600 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
601 was configured with --enable-apop.
603 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
604 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
605 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
607 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
608 new versions of flex.
610 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
611 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
612 doesn't guess wrongly.
614 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
616 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
617 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
619 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
620 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
622 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
623 files with numbers as names
625 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
627 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
629 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
631 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
633 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
634 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
636 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
638 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
641 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
642 test/report error writing to stdout
644 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
646 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
648 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
649 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
650 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
652 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
653 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
654 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
656 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
658 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
659 character set used by the current locale
661 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
662 message's filename overflows an int when converted
664 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
665 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
667 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
669 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
672 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
674 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
675 from Michael Richardson.
677 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
678 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
680 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
682 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
683 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
685 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
687 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
688 find sub-parts of the specified part
690 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
692 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
693 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
694 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
695 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
696 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
697 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
698 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
701 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
703 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
704 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
705 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
708 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
709 refiling with -src option.
711 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
713 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
715 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
717 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
718 mailpath being overwritten.
720 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
722 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
723 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
724 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
725 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
726 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
727 reinitializes the tmp file string.
729 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
730 if a format string was read from the profile.
732 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
733 path for the external hook.
735 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
737 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
738 another location for ndbm.
740 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
742 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
744 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
746 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
749 136976 - Handle binary content messages
750 143427 - mh-format.man typo
751 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
752 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
753 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
754 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
755 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
756 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
757 181867 - typo for nmh.man
759 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
761 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
762 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
763 contitional code which will result in cached data to
764 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
765 and parse on the first use.
766 * Remove some unused flag bits.
768 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
770 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
771 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
773 #578 - repl leaks umask
774 #1393 - sortm core dumps
775 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
776 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
777 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
779 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
780 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
782 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
784 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
785 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
787 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
789 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
790 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
791 to docs/README.about.
793 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
795 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
797 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
798 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
799 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
800 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
803 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
805 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
806 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
807 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
808 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
809 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
810 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
813 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
814 summary configure prints out.
816 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
817 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
818 subjectively more readable) format.
820 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
822 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
825 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
827 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
828 19xx when it's not necessary.
830 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
832 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
833 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
836 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
837 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
838 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
839 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
840 the man pages correctly.
842 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
844 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
846 * Finished manpages ali-prev
848 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
849 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
850 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
853 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
854 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
855 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
856 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
858 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
860 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
861 the formatting rules I've been using.
865 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
867 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
868 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
869 used in the manpages.
871 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
872 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
873 read in the contents of the file as the variable
876 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
877 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
878 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
879 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
880 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
881 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
882 bold flags and italicized parameters.
884 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
886 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
887 --with-locking option.
889 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
890 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
891 information was not being communicated to the
892 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
893 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
894 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
895 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
896 undefined symbols problems.
898 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
899 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
900 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
901 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
902 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
903 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
904 for a genuine krb4 installation.
906 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
908 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
909 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
911 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
913 * Made a new ./configure option called
914 "--with-locking" that allows the file
915 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
916 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
918 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
919 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
920 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
921 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
922 the user that these are the valid options, and
923 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
926 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
928 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
929 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
930 committed to supporting flex only, since
931 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
932 string, as well as other problems documented
933 below and on nmh-workers.
935 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
936 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
937 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
940 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
941 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
943 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
945 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
946 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
947 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
949 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
951 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
952 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
954 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
956 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
957 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
958 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
959 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
960 couldn't correctly identify them.
962 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
964 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
965 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
966 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
967 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
968 not depending on an external archive.
970 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
971 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
972 mts/generic is no longer built.
974 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
977 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
978 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
979 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
980 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
981 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
982 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
983 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
985 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
987 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
988 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
991 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
993 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
994 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
995 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
998 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
999 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1000 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1001 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1003 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1004 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1005 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1006 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1007 merged into the smtp code).
1009 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1010 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1011 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1014 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1015 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1016 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1017 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1018 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1019 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1020 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1022 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1024 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1025 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1026 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1027 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1028 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1029 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1030 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1031 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1032 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1033 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1034 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1036 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1038 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1039 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1040 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1041 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1042 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1043 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1044 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1045 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1046 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1048 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1050 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1051 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1052 able to access them.
1054 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1056 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1057 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1059 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1061 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1062 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1063 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1064 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1066 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1068 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1069 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1070 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1071 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1072 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1074 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1075 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1077 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.

1081 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1082 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1083 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1084 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1086 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1087 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1088 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1089 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1091 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1092 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1093 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1094 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1096 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1097 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1098 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1100 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1102 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1103 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1104 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1105 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1106 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1107 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1110 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1111 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1113 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1114 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1116 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1118 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1120 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1122 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1123 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1124 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1125 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1127 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1129 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1130 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1132 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1134 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1136 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1137 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1140 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1142 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1143 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1144 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1145 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1147 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1149 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1150 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1151 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1152 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1153 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1155 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1157 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1158 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1160 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1161 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1163 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1165 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1168 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1169 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1171 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1173 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1176 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1177 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1179 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1181 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1182 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1184 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1186 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1187 inc does not need to be setgid.
1189 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1191 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1192 library, as found on Debian systems.
1194 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1196 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1198 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1199 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1200 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1201 case-insensitivity flag.
1203 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1205 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1206 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1208 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1211 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1212 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1213 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1214 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1215 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1216 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1217 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1218 getting moved aside).
1220 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1221 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1223 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1225 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1226 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1227 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1228 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1229 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1230 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1231 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1232 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1233 the prototype, but never sets it.
1235 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1236 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1237 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1238 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1239 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1240 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1242 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1243 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1244 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1245 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1246 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1248 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1250 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1251 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1254 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1255 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1256 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1257 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1258 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1259 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1260 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1262 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1264 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1266 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1267 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1268 this works on other systems.
1270 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1272 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1273 checks for write failures.
1275 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1277 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1279 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1282 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1284 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1286 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1288 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1289 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1292 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1294 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1295 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1296 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1297 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1299 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1301 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1302 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1305 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1306 as well as Makefiles.
1308 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1310 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1311 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1312 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1313 should make maintainability easier.
1315 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1316 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1317 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1318 whatever you know works.
1320 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1322 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1323 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1324 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1326 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1327 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1328 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1329 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1331 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1332 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1333 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1335 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1336 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1337 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1338 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1339 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1341 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1342 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1343 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1344 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1345 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1346 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1347 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1348 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1349 from the BSD version.
1351 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1352 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1353 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1355 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1356 in ruserpass.c also.
1358 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1361 This happens on solaris:
1364 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1365 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1369 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1371 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1372 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1374 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1376 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1377 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1378 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1379 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1380 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1381 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1382 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1383 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1384 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1385 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1386 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1388 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1389 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1390 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1391 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1392 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1393 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1396 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1397 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1398 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1399 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1400 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1402 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1403 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1405 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1407 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1408 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1409 to stdin, such as exmh.
1411 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1412 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1413 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1416 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1418 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1419 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1420 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1421 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1422 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1423 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1424 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1426 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1428 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1429 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1431 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1433 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1434 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1436 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1438 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1441 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1442 along with any -host or -user option.
1444 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1446 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1448 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1449 process was fresh in my mind.
1451 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1453 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1454 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1456 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1458 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1460 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1463 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1464 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1465 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1466 part of the program's name.
1468 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1469 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1472 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1474 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1475 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1476 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1477 single-character format would cause programs using this
1478 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1479 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1480 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1481 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1484 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1486 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1487 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1488 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1489 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1490 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1491 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1493 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1494 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1495 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1496 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1497 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1498 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1499 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1500 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1502 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1503 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1504 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1505 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1506 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1507 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1508 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1509 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1510 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1511 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1513 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1515 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1516 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1518 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1519 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1521 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1526 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1528 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1529 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1530 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1531 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1533 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1534 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1535 problem in the routine.
1537 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1539 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1540 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1542 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1543 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1544 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1547 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1549 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1550 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1551 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1552 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1553 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1554 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1555 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1556 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1557 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1558 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1560 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1562 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1563 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1564 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1565 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1566 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1567 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1568 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1569 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1570 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1571 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1572 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1573 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1575 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1576 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1577 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1578 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1579 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1581 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1584 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1586 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1587 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1588 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1589 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1592 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1594 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1596 * Applied, after some finessing,
1597 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1599 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1601 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1603 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1604 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1605 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1606 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1608 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1610 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1611 forgetting to do so!).
1613 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1614 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1615 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1616 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1617 arguments to enable all three types.
1619 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1620 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1622 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1623 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1624 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1625 updated copy of mts.conf.
1627 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1629 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1630 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1631 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1633 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1635 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1637 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1638 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1639 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1641 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1642 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1643 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1645 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1646 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1647 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1649 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1651 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1653 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1655 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1657 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1658 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1660 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1661 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1662 certain suffix to run properly.
1664 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1665 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1666 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1668 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1669 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1670 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1671 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1672 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1673 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1674 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1676 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1678 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1679 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1680 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1681 until some year far in the future).
1683 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1685 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1687 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1688 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1690 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1691 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1694 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1696 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1697 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1698 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1699 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1700 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1701 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1703 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1705 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1707 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1708 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1709 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1711 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1712 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1713 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1714 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1715 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1716 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1719 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1720 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1721 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1722 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1723 of masquerading individually.
1725 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1726 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1727 GECOS field delimiters.
1729 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1731 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1732 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1733 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1734 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1735 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1736 and explaining the feature.
1738 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1740 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1741 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1744 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1745 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1746 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1748 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1749 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1750 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1751 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1753 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1754 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1755 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1758 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1760 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1761 code to be executed.
1763 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1765 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1767 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1768 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1769 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1770 quotes embedded in them.
1772 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1774 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1775 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1776 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1777 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1778 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1779 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1780 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1783 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1784 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1785 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1786 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1787 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1789 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1791 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1793 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1794 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1795 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1796 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1798 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1801 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1803 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1805 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1807 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1808 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1809 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1811 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1814 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1816 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1817 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1818 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1819 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1820 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1821 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1823 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1824 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1826 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1828 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1831 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1833 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1834 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1835 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1838 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1839 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1840 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1841 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1842 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1843 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1844 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1845 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1846 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1847 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1848 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1849 processing that post has).
1851 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1853 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1854 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1855 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1856 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1857 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1858 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1861 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1863 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1865 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1867 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1869 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1870 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1872 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1875 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1877 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1878 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1879 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1882 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1884 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1885 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1886 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1887 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1888 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1889 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1891 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1893 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1895 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1897 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1898 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1899 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1900 caught again. This works for now.
1902 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1904 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1906 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1907 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1909 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1911 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1912 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1914 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1916 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1918 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1920 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1921 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1923 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1925 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1926 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1927 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1928 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1929 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1932 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1934 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1935 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1936 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1938 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1939 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1942 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1944 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1945 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1946 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1948 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1950 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1951 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1953 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1955 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1958 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1959 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1961 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1962 macros, regardless of platform.
1964 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1965 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1967 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1968 with x-conversions=gzip.
1970 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1972 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1975 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1976 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1977 implicit definition of ioctl().
1979 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1980 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1981 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1982 want to mess with them.
1984 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1986 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1987 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1989 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1990 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1992 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1993 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1994 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1996 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1997 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1998 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2000 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2001 function initgroups.
2003 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2006 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2007 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2010 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2011 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2014 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2015 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2019 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2021 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2022 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2023 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2025 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2026 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2028 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2030 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2032 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2033 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2034 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2035 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2037 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2038 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2040 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2042 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2044 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2046 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2047 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2049 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2051 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2052 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2054 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2055 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2056 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2057 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2059 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2060 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2062 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2064 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2065 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2067 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2069 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2070 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2073 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2075 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2077 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2079 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2080 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2082 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2083 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2084 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2086 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2087 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2088 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2090 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2091 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2092 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2094 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2095 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2098 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2099 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2101 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2102 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2104 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2105 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2107 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2108 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2109 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2111 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2112 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2114 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2115 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2116 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2118 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2119 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2122 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2123 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2125 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2126 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2127 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2128 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2130 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2131 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2133 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2137 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2138 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2139 would not be changed.
2141 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2142 one from the Apache web server.
2144 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2145 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2147 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2148 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2149 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2151 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2153 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2155 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2156 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2159 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2160 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2161 removes a bad race condition.
2163 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2166 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2167 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2168 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2170 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2171 sequence information.
2173 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2174 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2176 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2179 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2182 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2184 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2185 interpret 034 as octal.
2187 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2189 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2190 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2192 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2193 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2195 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2196 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2198 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2199 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2201 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2202 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2204 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2205 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2206 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2208 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2209 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2210 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2212 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2214 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2216 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2217 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2220 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2222 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2223 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2225 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2226 header field information.
2228 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2229 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2231 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2232 values when parsing a content.
2234 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2235 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2237 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2238 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2240 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2241 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2243 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2244 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2246 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2248 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2250 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2252 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2254 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2255 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2258 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2259 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2261 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2262 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2263 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2264 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2265 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2266 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2269 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2271 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2272 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2273 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2275 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2276 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2278 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2280 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2281 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2282 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2283 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2285 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2286 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2289 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2290 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2291 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2292 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2295 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2297 * Released nmh-0.27.
2299 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2300 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2302 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2303 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2304 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2305 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2308 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2309 mhbuild returns an error.
2311 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2312 rename the draft file.
2314 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2315 use a global variable.
2317 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2318 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2320 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2321 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2323 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2324 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2325 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2327 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2328 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2330 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2331 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2334 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2335 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2338 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2339 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2341 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2342 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2343 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2345 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2346 to new function output_content_folder.
2348 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2349 new function output_content_file.
2351 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2352 to new function parse_format_string.
2354 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2355 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2356 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2357 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2359 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2360 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2361 message/external file from ftp.
2363 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2364 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2365 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2367 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2368 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2371 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2374 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2375 new file mhstoresbr.c
2377 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2380 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2381 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2383 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2384 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2386 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2387 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2388 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2390 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2392 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2394 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2395 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2398 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2399 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2401 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2404 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2406 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2408 * Released nmh-0.26.
2410 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2411 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2412 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2413 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2415 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2416 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2417 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2418 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2419 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2421 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2422 But it is not on by default.
2424 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2425 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2427 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2429 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2431 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2433 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2435 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2436 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2438 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2440 * Released nmh-0.25.
2442 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2443 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2444 uses the original name of the library.
2446 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2447 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2450 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2451 list_content and list_debug.
2453 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2455 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2456 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2458 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2460 * Released nmh-0.24.
2462 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2464 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2465 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2467 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2468 large sequence line.
2470 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2472 * Released nmh-0.23.
2474 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2476 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2477 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2478 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2479 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2481 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2482 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2485 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2487 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2489 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2491 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2492 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2494 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2495 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2497 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2498 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2500 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2501 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2503 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Released nmh-0.22.
2507 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2508 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2510 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2512 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2513 mh-profile(5) man page.
2515 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2516 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2518 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2520 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2522 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2523 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2525 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2527 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2528 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2529 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2531 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2532 source message on the standard input.
2534 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2536 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2537 rather than -rfc934mode.
2539 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2540 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2543 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2544 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2546 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2549 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2551 * Released nmh-0.21.
2553 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2554 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2556 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2559 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2560 to use for text contents.
2562 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2564 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2566 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2568 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2570 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2571 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2573 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2574 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2575 spaces between encoded word are.
2577 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2579 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2580 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2582 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2583 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2584 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2586 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2588 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2589 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2591 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2593 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2595 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2596 ISO-8859-X character set.
2598 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2601 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2602 permissions, not write permissions.
2604 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2605 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2607 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2610 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2612 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2614 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2615 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2617 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2618 message contains valid character set.
2620 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2621 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2623 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2624 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2626 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2627 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2628 between an encoded word and normal text.
2630 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2631 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2633 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2634 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2636 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2639 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2640 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2643 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2644 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2646 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2647 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2649 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2651 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Released nmh-0.20.
2655 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2657 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2659 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2660 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2661 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2663 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2664 and the To: line was missing.
2666 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2668 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2670 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2672 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2673 watch the POP transaction.
2675 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2676 first, and use it if available.
2678 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2679 first, and use it if available.
2681 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2683 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2685 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2686 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2687 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2690 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2691 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2692 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2694 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2695 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2698 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2700 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2701 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2703 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2705 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2706 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2708 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2709 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2710 message to which you are replying.
2712 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2713 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2714 making group replies.
2716 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2718 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2720 * Released nmh-0.19.
2722 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2723 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2725 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2726 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2727 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2728 to the end of the man page.
2730 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2731 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2732 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2733 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2734 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2735 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2737 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2740 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2741 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2742 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2744 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2745 the next available number above the message number you wish
2748 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2749 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2751 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2752 file sbr/seq_print.c
2754 * flist will now update the current folder.
2756 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2757 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2758 but now undocumented.
2760 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2763 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2764 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2766 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2768 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2769 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2771 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * Released nmh-0.18.
2775 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2776 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2777 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2779 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2780 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2782 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2783 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2784 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2785 previous public/private status.
2787 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2790 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2793 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2794 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2795 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2797 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2798 take option to determine whether it should get current
2799 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2800 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2802 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2804 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2805 wait for stopped processes.
2807 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2808 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2810 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2814 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2815 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2817 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2818 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2820 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2821 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2822 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2823 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2825 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2828 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2831 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2833 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2834 the debugging output.
2836 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2837 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2839 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2841 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2843 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2844 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2846 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2848 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2849 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2850 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2851 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2852 in the given sequence.
2854 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2855 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2856 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2857 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2858 subdirectories of a given directory.
2860 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2861 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2862 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2864 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2865 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2867 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2869 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2872 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2873 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2874 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2876 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2877 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2878 are calculated at runtime.
2880 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2882 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2884 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2885 about checking for global mh.profile.
2887 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2888 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2889 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2890 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2891 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2892 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2894 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2895 adding message to folder itself.
2897 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2898 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2899 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2902 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2903 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2906 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2907 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2908 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2910 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2911 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2913 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2914 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2915 code to use it yet).
2917 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2919 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2921 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2922 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2924 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2925 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2927 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2929 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2932 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2936 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2938 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2940 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2941 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2945 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2947 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2949 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2951 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2953 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2954 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2956 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2957 configuration files.
2959 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2961 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2965 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2967 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2968 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2970 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2973 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2974 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2976 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2977 number of refiled message.
2979 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2981 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2982 for return value of wait().
2984 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2986 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Released nmh-0.16.
2990 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2992 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2994 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2995 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2996 deal with binary messages, yet).
2998 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3000 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3002 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3003 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3004 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3005 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3006 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3007 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3009 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3010 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3012 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3013 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3015 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3016 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3019 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3021 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3023 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3024 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3027 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3030 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3032 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3033 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3034 which used unsigned chars by default.
3036 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Released nmh-0.15.
3040 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

3045 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3047 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3050 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3051 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3052 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3054 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3055 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3057 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3059 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3060 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3062 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3063 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3064 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3065 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3067 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3068 and put in own subroutine.
3070 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3071 and put in own subroutine.
3073 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3074 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3075 refile.c to use new routine.
3077 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3079 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3081 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3084 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3085 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3086 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3088 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3091 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3092 adding message to sequence.
3094 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3095 corresponding file in sbr.
3097 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3100 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3102 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3103 all selected messages from a sequence.
3105 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3106 selected messages to a sequence.
3108 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3111 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3113 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3114 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3116 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3118 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
3119 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.

3135 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3136 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3137 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3138 environment variable.
3140 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3141 draft folder facility in nmh.
3143 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3146 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3155 * Released nmh-0.13.
3157 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3158 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3159 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3160 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3163 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3164 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3166 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3169 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3171 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3173 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3187 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3189 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3190 mp->attrstats with macros.
3192 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3195 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3198 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3199 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3201 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3202 will suppress the display of the message header.
3204 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3206 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3207 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3209 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3211 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3213 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3215 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3216 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3218 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3219 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3221 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3223 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3225 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3226 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3228 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3229 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3231 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3233 * Released nmh-0.10.

3240 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3242 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3243 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3245 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3246 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3248 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3253 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3254 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3256 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3258 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3263 * Released nmh-0.09.
3265 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
3267 * Add configure check for killpg.

3281 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3283 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3284 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3286 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3288 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3289 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3291 * Released nmh-0.08.
3293 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3294 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3295 locking database itself.
3297 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3301 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3302 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3305 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3306 rather than mmdf format.
3308 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3309 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3310 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3311 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3313 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3315 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3317 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3320 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3321 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3322 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3324 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3325 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3326 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3328 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3331 can still easily change this in config.h).
3333 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3334 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3335 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3337 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3340 than tzset and external timezone variable.

3349 * Released nmh-0.07.
3351 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3354 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3356 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3357 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3360 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3361 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3363 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3364 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3366 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3368 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3370 * Added configure check for tzset.
3372 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3374 * Released nmh-0.06.
3376 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3377 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3379 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3380 many such machines around anymore.
3382 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3383 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3385 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3386 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3388 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3390 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3391 pre-generated version if necessary.
3393 * Released nmh-0.05.
3395 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3396 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3397 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3398 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3400 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3401 be linked in one pass.
3403 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3405 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3406 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3408 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3410 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3412 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3414 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3415 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3416 become the current folder.
3418 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3420 * Released nmh-0.04.
3422 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3425 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3427 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3428 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3429 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3431 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3433 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3434 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3436 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3438 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3439 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3442 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3443 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3445 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3447 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3448 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3449 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3450 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3451 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3452 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3454 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3456 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3457 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3459 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3460 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3462 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3464 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3465 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3467 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3469 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3470 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3471 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3473 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3475 * Released nmh-0.03.
3477 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3478 .mh_sequence file existed.
3480 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3481 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3483 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3484 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3487 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3489 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3492 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3494 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3495 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3496 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3498 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3500 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3501 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3502 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3504 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3506 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3507 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3509 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3511 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3513 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3514 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3515 directory from where the source code is located.
3517 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3519 * Released nmh-0.02.
3521 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3523 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3526 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3528 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3529 and sys_nerr directly.
3531 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3533 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3535 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3537 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3539 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3540 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3541 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3542 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3543 rather than in script.
3545 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3547 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3549 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3550 macro defined on Solaris.
3552 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3554 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3555 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3557 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3558 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3559 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3560 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3563 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3565 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3566 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3568 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3571 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3573 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3575 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3576 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3578 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3580 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3581 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3583 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3585 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3586 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3587 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3588 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3589 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3590 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3592 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3594 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3596 * Released nmh-0.01.
3598 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3599 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3600 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3603 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3605 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3608 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3610 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3611 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3613 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3615 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3616 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3617 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3618 script to find_program.
3620 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3622 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3623 speed up -recurse option.
3625 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3626 yet, but it compiles :-)
3628 * Changed default location for install to
3629 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3630 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3631 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3634 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3635 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3636 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
