1 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
4 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
5 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
6 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
8 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
10 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
11 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
13 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
14 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
16 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
18 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
19 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
20 the address of a static array.
22 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
24 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
25 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
27 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
29 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
30 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
31 This allows users to masquerade with the default
32 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
33 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
34 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
37 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
39 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
40 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
41 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
42 ruserpass() has a void return type.
44 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
45 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
46 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
47 provide memmove() substitute implementation
49 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
50 source directory' feature
52 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
53 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
55 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
57 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
58 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
59 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
62 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
64 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
65 is the wrong approach.
67 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
68 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
69 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
72 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
73 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
74 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
75 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
76 broken for continued lines from the server.
78 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
80 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
81 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
83 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
85 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
87 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
90 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
92 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
94 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
96 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
97 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
98 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
99 obsolete feature of autoconf
101 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
103 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
104 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
105 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
107 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
109 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
110 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
112 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
114 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
117 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
119 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
120 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
121 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
122 following done() (should never be reached).
124 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
126 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
127 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
129 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
131 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
132 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
134 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
136 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
137 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
138 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
139 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
140 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
141 acconfig.h if you must.
143 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
145 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
146 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
147 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
148 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
150 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
152 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
155 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
157 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
158 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
159 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
160 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
161 have Content-Disposition.
163 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
165 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
168 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
170 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
171 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
173 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
175 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
176 encoded block is empty
178 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
180 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
181 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
182 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
185 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
187 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
188 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
191 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
193 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
194 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
195 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
196 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
199 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
200 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
202 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
204 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
205 function num_digits into utils.c
207 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
209 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
210 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
211 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
213 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
215 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
216 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
217 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
218 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
219 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
220 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
221 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
222 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
224 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
226 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
227 Content-Disposition header.
229 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
231 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
232 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
233 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
234 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
235 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
236 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
237 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
238 users to easily accomodate that by adding
239 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
241 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
243 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
244 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
246 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
248 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
250 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
251 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
253 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
254 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
256 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
258 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
259 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
260 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
261 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
262 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
265 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
267 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
268 widths, restoring right justification feature
270 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
272 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
273 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
274 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
276 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
279 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
281 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
282 handling multi column characters.
284 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
286 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
288 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
290 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
291 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
294 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
296 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
298 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
300 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
303 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
305 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
308 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
310 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
311 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
312 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
313 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
315 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
317 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
318 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
319 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
320 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
321 where configure's autodetection fails.
323 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
325 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
326 configure script change.
328 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
330 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
331 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
332 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
335 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
337 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
338 the context is only read once.
340 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
342 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
343 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
345 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
347 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
348 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
350 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
351 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
354 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
355 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
358 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
360 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
361 vi isn't found during build.
363 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
365 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
366 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
368 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
369 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
370 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
372 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
374 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
375 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
377 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
378 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
379 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
380 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
383 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
384 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
385 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
387 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
388 entry in the context file.
390 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
392 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
393 problems on some systems
395 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
396 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
398 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
400 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
401 sendmail isn't found during build.
403 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
405 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
407 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
409 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
410 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
412 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
413 references to the web page and mailing list locations
415 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
416 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
418 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
421 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
423 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
424 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
425 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
427 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
428 was configured with --enable-apop.
430 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
431 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
432 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
434 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
435 new versions of flex.
437 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
438 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
439 doesn't guess wrongly.
441 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
443 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
444 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
446 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
447 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
449 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
450 files with numbers as names
452 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
454 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
456 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
458 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
460 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
461 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
463 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
465 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
468 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
469 test/report error writing to stdout
471 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
473 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
475 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
476 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
477 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
479 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
480 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
481 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
483 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
485 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
486 character set used by the current locale
488 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
489 message's filename overflows an int when converted
491 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
492 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
494 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
496 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
499 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
501 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
502 from Michael Richardson.
504 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
505 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
507 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
509 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
510 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
512 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
514 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
515 find sub-parts of the specified part
517 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
519 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
520 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
521 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
522 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
523 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
524 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
525 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
528 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
530 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
531 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
532 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
535 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
536 refiling with -src option.
538 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
540 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
542 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
544 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
545 mailpath being overwritten.
547 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
549 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
550 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
551 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
552 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
553 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
554 reinitializes the tmp file string.
556 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
557 if a format string was read from the profile.
559 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
560 path for the external hook.
562 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
564 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
565 another location for ndbm.
567 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
569 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
571 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
573 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
576 136976 - Handle binary content messages
577 143427 - mh-format.man typo
578 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
579 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
580 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
581 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
582 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
583 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
584 181867 - typo for nmh.man
586 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
588 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
589 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
590 contitional code which will result in cached data to
591 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
592 and parse on the first use.
593 * Remove some unused flag bits.
595 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
597 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
598 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
600 #578 - repl leaks umask
601 #1393 - sortm core dumps
602 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
603 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
604 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
606 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
607 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
609 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
611 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
612 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
614 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
616 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
617 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
618 to docs/README.about.
620 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
622 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
624 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
625 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
626 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
627 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
630 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
632 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
633 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
634 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
635 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
636 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
637 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
640 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
641 summary configure prints out.
643 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
644 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
645 subjectively more readable) format.
647 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
649 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
652 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
654 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
655 19xx when it's not necessary.
657 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
659 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
660 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
663 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
664 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
665 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
666 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
667 the man pages correctly.
669 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
671 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
673 * Finished manpages ali-prev
675 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
676 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
677 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
680 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
681 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
682 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
683 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
685 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
687 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
688 the formatting rules I've been using.
692 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
695 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
696 used in the manpages.
698 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
699 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
700 read in the contents of the file as the variable
703 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
704 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
705 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
706 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
707 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
708 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
709 bold flags and italicized parameters.
711 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
713 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
714 --with-locking option.
716 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
717 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
718 information was not being communicated to the
719 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
720 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
721 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
722 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
723 undefined symbols problems.
725 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
726 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
727 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
728 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
729 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
730 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
731 for a genuine krb4 installation.
733 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
735 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
736 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
738 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
740 * Made a new ./configure option called
741 "--with-locking" that allows the file
742 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
743 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
745 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
746 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
747 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
748 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
749 the user that these are the valid options, and
750 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
753 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
755 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
756 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
757 committed to supporting flex only, since
758 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
759 string, as well as other problems documented
760 below and on nmh-workers.
762 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
763 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
764 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
767 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
768 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
770 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
772 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
773 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
774 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
776 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
778 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
779 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
781 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
783 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
784 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
785 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
786 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
787 couldn't correctly identify them.
789 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
791 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
792 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
793 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
794 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
795 not depending on an external archive.
797 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
798 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
799 mts/generic is no longer built.
801 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
803 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
804 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
805 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
806 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
807 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
808 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
809 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
810 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
812 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
814 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
815 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
818 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
820 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
821 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
822 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
825 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
826 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
827 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
828 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
830 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
831 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
832 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
833 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
834 merged into the smtp code).
836 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
837 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
838 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
841 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
842 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
843 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
844 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
845 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
846 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
847 in the appropriate Makefile.in
849 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
851 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
852 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
853 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
854 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
855 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
856 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
857 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
858 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
859 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
860 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
861 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
863 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
865 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
866 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
867 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
868 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
869 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
870 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
871 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
872 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
873 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
875 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
877 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
878 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
881 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
884 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
886 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
888 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
889 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
890 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
891 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
893 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
895 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
896 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
897 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
898 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
899 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
901 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
902 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
904 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
906 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
908 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
909 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
910 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
911 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
913 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
914 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
915 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
916 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
918 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
919 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
920 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
921 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
923 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
924 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
925 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
927 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
929 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
930 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
931 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
932 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
933 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
934 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
937 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
938 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
940 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
941 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
943 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
945 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
947 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
949 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
950 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
951 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
952 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
954 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
956 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
957 be easily changed from "," to "#".
959 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
961 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
963 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
964 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
967 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
969 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
970 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
971 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
972 but not for the subsequent data stream.
974 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
976 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
977 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
978 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
979 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
980 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
982 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
984 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
985 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
987 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
988 cat, also define lorder as echo.
990 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
992 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
994 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
995 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
996 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
998 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1000 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1003 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1004 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1006 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1008 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1009 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1011 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1013 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1014 inc does not need to be setgid.
1016 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1018 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1019 library, as found on Debian systems.
1021 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1023 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1025 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1026 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1027 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1028 case-insensitivity flag.
1030 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1032 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1033 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1035 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1037 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1038 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1039 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1040 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1041 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1042 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1043 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1044 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1045 getting moved aside).
1047 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1048 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1050 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1052 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1053 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1054 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1055 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1056 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1057 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1058 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1059 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1060 the prototype, but never sets it.
1062 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1063 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1064 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1065 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1066 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1067 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1069 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1070 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1071 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1072 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1073 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1075 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1077 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1078 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1081 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1082 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1083 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1084 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1085 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1086 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1087 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1089 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1091 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1093 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1094 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1095 this works on other systems.
1097 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1099 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1100 checks for write failures.
1102 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1104 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1106 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1109 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1111 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1113 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1115 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1116 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1119 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1121 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1122 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1123 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1124 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1126 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1128 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1129 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1132 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1133 as well as Makefiles.
1135 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1137 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1138 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1139 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1140 should make maintainability easier.
1142 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1143 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1144 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1145 whatever you know works.
1147 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1149 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1150 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1151 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1153 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1154 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1155 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1156 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1158 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1159 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1160 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1162 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1163 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1164 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1165 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1166 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1168 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1169 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1170 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1171 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1172 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1173 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1174 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1175 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1176 from the BSD version.
1178 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1179 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1180 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1182 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1183 in ruserpass.c also.
1185 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1188 This happens on solaris:
1191 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1192 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1196 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1198 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1199 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1201 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1203 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1204 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1205 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1206 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1207 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1208 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1209 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1210 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1211 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1212 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1213 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1215 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1216 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1217 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1218 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1219 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1220 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1223 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1224 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1225 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1226 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1227 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1229 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1230 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1232 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1234 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1235 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1236 to stdin, such as exmh.
1238 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1239 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1240 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1243 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1245 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1246 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1247 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1248 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1249 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1250 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1251 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1253 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1255 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1256 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1258 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1261 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1263 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1265 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1268 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1269 along with any -host or -user option.
1271 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1273 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1275 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1276 process was fresh in my mind.
1278 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1281 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1283 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1285 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1290 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1291 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1292 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1293 part of the program's name.
1295 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1296 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1299 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1301 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1302 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1303 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1304 single-character format would cause programs using this
1305 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1306 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1307 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1308 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1311 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1313 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1314 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1315 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1316 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1317 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1318 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1320 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1321 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1322 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1323 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1324 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1325 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1326 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1327 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1329 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1330 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1331 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1332 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1333 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1334 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1335 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1336 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1337 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1338 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1340 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1342 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1343 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1345 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1346 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1348 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1353 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1355 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1356 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1357 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1358 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1360 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1361 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1362 problem in the routine.
1364 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1366 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1367 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1369 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1370 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1371 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1374 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1376 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1377 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1378 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1379 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1380 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1381 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1382 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1383 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1384 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1385 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1387 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1389 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1390 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1391 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1392 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1393 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1394 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1395 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1396 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1397 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1398 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1399 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1400 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1402 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1403 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1404 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1405 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1406 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1408 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1411 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1413 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1414 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1415 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1416 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1419 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1421 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1423 * Applied, after some finessing,
1424 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1426 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1428 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1430 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1431 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1432 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1433 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1435 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1437 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1438 forgetting to do so!).
1440 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1441 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1442 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1443 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1444 arguments to enable all three types.
1446 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1447 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1449 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1450 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1451 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1452 updated copy of mts.conf.
1454 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1456 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1457 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1458 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1460 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1462 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1464 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1465 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1466 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1468 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1469 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1470 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1472 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1473 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1474 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1476 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1478 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1480 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1482 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1484 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1485 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1487 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1488 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1489 certain suffix to run properly.
1491 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1492 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1493 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1495 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1496 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1497 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1498 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1499 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1500 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1501 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1503 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1505 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1506 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1507 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1508 until some year far in the future).
1510 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1512 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1514 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1515 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1517 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1518 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1521 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1523 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1524 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1525 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1526 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1527 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1528 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1530 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1532 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1534 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1535 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1536 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1538 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1539 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1540 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1541 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1542 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1543 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1546 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1547 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1548 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1549 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1550 of masquerading individually.
1552 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1553 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1554 GECOS field delimiters.
1556 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1558 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1559 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1560 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1561 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1562 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1563 and explaining the feature.
1565 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1567 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1568 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1571 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1572 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1573 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1575 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1576 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1577 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1578 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1580 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1581 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1582 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1585 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1587 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1588 code to be executed.
1590 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1592 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1594 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1595 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1596 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1597 quotes embedded in them.
1599 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1601 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1602 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1603 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1604 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1605 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1606 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1607 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1610 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1611 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1612 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1613 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1614 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1616 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1618 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1620 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1621 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1622 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1623 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1625 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1628 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1630 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1632 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1634 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1635 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1636 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1638 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1641 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1643 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1644 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1645 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1646 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1647 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1648 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1650 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1651 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1653 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1655 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1658 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1660 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1661 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1662 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1665 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1666 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1667 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1668 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1669 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1670 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1671 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1672 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1673 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1674 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1675 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1676 processing that post has).
1678 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1680 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1681 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1682 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1683 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1684 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1685 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1688 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1690 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1692 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1694 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1696 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1697 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1699 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1702 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1704 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1705 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1706 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1709 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1711 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1712 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1713 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1714 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1715 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1716 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1718 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1720 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1722 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1724 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1725 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1726 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1727 caught again. This works for now.
1729 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1731 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1733 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1734 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1736 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1738 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1739 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1741 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1743 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1745 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1747 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1748 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1750 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1752 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1753 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1754 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1755 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1756 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1759 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1761 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1762 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1763 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1765 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1766 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1769 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1771 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1772 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1773 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1775 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1777 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1778 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1780 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1782 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1785 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1786 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1788 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1789 macros, regardless of platform.
1791 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1792 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1794 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1795 with x-conversions=gzip.
1797 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1799 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1802 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1803 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1804 implicit definition of ioctl().
1806 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1807 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1808 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1809 want to mess with them.
1811 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1813 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1814 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1816 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1817 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1819 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1820 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1821 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1823 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1824 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1825 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1827 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1828 function initgroups.
1830 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1833 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1834 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1837 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1838 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1841 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1842 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1846 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1848 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1849 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1850 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1852 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1853 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1855 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1857 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1859 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1860 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1861 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1862 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1864 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1865 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1867 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1869 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1871 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1873 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1874 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1876 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1878 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1879 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1881 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1882 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1883 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1884 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1886 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1887 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1889 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1891 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1892 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1894 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1896 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1897 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1900 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1902 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1904 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1906 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1907 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1909 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1910 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1911 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1913 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1914 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1915 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1917 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1918 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1919 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1921 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1922 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1925 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1926 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1928 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1929 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1931 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1932 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1934 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1935 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1936 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1938 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1939 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1941 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1942 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1943 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1945 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1946 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1949 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1950 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1952 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1953 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1954 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1955 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1957 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1958 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1960 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1964 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1965 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1966 would not be changed.
1968 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1969 one from the Apache web server.
1971 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1972 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1974 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1975 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1976 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1978 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1980 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1982 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1983 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1986 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1987 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1988 removes a bad race condition.
1990 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1993 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1994 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1995 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1997 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1998 sequence information.
2000 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2001 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2003 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2006 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2009 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2011 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2012 interpret 034 as octal.
2014 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2016 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2017 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2019 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2020 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2022 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2023 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2025 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2026 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2028 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2029 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2031 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2032 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2033 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2035 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2036 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2037 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2039 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2041 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2043 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2044 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2047 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2049 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2050 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2052 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2053 header field information.
2055 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2056 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2058 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2059 values when parsing a content.
2061 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2062 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2064 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2065 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2067 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2068 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2070 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2071 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2073 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2075 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2077 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2079 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2081 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2082 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2085 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2086 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2088 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2089 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2090 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2091 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2092 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2093 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2096 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2098 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2099 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2100 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2102 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2103 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2105 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2107 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2108 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2109 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2110 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2112 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2113 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2116 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2117 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2118 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2119 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2122 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2124 * Released nmh-0.27.
2126 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2127 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2129 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2130 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2131 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2132 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2135 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2136 mhbuild returns an error.
2138 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2139 rename the draft file.
2141 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2142 use a global variable.
2144 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2145 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2147 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2148 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2150 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2151 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2152 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2154 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2155 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2157 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2158 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2161 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2162 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2165 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2166 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2168 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2169 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2170 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2172 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2173 to new function output_content_folder.
2175 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2176 new function output_content_file.
2178 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2179 to new function parse_format_string.
2181 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2182 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2183 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2184 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2186 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2187 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2188 message/external file from ftp.
2190 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2191 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2192 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2194 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2195 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2198 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2201 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2202 new file mhstoresbr.c
2204 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2207 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2208 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2210 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2211 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2213 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2214 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2215 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2217 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2219 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2221 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2222 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2225 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2226 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2228 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2231 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2233 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2235 * Released nmh-0.26.
2237 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2238 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2239 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2240 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2242 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2243 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2244 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2245 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2246 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2248 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2249 But it is not on by default.
2251 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2252 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2254 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2256 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2258 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2260 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2262 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2263 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2265 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2267 * Released nmh-0.25.
2269 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2270 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2271 uses the original name of the library.
2273 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2274 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2277 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2278 list_content and list_debug.
2280 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2282 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2283 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2285 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2287 * Released nmh-0.24.
2289 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2291 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2292 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2294 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2295 large sequence line.
2297 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2299 * Released nmh-0.23.
2301 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2303 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2304 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2305 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2306 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2308 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2309 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2312 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2314 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2316 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2318 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2319 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2321 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2322 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2324 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2325 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2327 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2328 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2330 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Released nmh-0.22.
2334 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2335 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2337 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2339 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2340 mh-profile(5) man page.
2342 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2343 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2345 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2347 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2349 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2350 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2352 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2354 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2355 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2356 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2358 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2359 source message on the standard input.
2361 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2363 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2364 rather than -rfc934mode.
2366 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2367 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2370 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2371 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2373 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2376 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * Released nmh-0.21.
2380 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2381 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2383 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2386 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2387 to use for text contents.
2389 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2391 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2393 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2395 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2397 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2398 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2400 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2401 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2402 spaces between encoded word are.
2404 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2406 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2407 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2409 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2410 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2411 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2413 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2415 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2416 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2418 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2420 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2422 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2423 ISO-8859-X character set.
2425 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2428 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2429 permissions, not write permissions.
2431 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2432 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2434 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2437 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2439 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2441 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2442 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2444 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2445 message contains valid character set.
2447 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2448 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2450 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2451 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2453 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2454 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2455 between an encoded word and normal text.
2457 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2458 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2460 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2461 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2463 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2466 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2467 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2470 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2471 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2473 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2474 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2476 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2478 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2480 * Released nmh-0.20.
2482 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2484 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2486 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2487 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2488 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2490 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2491 and the To: line was missing.
2493 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2495 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2497 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2499 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2500 watch the POP transaction.
2502 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2503 first, and use it if available.
2505 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2506 first, and use it if available.
2508 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2510 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2512 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2513 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2514 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2517 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2518 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2519 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2521 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2522 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2525 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2527 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2528 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2530 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2532 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2533 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2535 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2536 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2537 message to which you are replying.
2539 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2540 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2541 making group replies.
2543 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2545 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2547 * Released nmh-0.19.
2549 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2550 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2552 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2553 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2554 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2555 to the end of the man page.
2557 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2558 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2559 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2560 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2561 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2562 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2564 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2567 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2568 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2569 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2571 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2572 the next available number above the message number you wish
2575 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2576 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2578 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2579 file sbr/seq_print.c
2581 * flist will now update the current folder.
2583 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2584 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2585 but now undocumented.
2587 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2590 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2591 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2593 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2595 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2596 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2598 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2600 * Released nmh-0.18.
2602 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2603 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2604 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2606 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2607 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2609 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2610 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2611 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2612 previous public/private status.
2614 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2617 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2620 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2621 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2622 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2624 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2625 take option to determine whether it should get current
2626 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2627 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2629 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2631 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2632 wait for stopped processes.
2634 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2635 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2637 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2639 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2641 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2642 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2644 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2645 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2647 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2648 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2649 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2650 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2652 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2655 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2658 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2660 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2661 the debugging output.
2663 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2664 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2666 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2668 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2670 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2671 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2673 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2675 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2676 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2677 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2678 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2679 in the given sequence.
2681 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2682 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2683 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2684 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2685 subdirectories of a given directory.
2687 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2688 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2689 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2691 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2692 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2694 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2696 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2699 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2700 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2701 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2703 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2704 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2705 are calculated at runtime.
2707 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2709 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2711 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2712 about checking for global mh.profile.
2714 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2715 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2716 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2717 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2718 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2719 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2721 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2722 adding message to folder itself.
2724 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2725 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2726 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2729 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2730 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2733 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2734 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2735 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2737 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2738 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2740 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2741 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2742 code to use it yet).
2744 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2748 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2749 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2751 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2752 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2754 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2756 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2759 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2761 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2763 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2765 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2767 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2768 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2770 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2772 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2774 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2776 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2778 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2780 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2781 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2783 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2784 configuration files.
2786 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2788 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2790 * Released nmh-0.17.
2792 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2794 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2795 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2797 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2800 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2801 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2803 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2804 number of refiled message.
2806 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2808 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2809 for return value of wait().

2813 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2815 * Released nmh-0.16.
2817 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2819 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2821 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2822 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2823 deal with binary messages, yet).
2825 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2827 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2829 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2830 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2831 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2832 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2833 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2834 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2836 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2837 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2839 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2840 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2842 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2843 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2846 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2848 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2850 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2851 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2854 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2857 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2859 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2860 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2861 which used unsigned chars by default.
2863 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2865 * Released nmh-0.15.
2867 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2872 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2874 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2877 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2878 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2879 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2881 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2882 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2884 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2886 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2887 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2889 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2890 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2891 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2892 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2894 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2895 and put in own subroutine.
2897 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2898 and put in own subroutine.
2900 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2901 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2902 refile.c to use new routine.
2904 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2906 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2908 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2911 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2912 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2913 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2915 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2918 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2919 adding message to sequence.

2922 corresponding file in sbr.
2924 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2927 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2929 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2930 all selected messages from a sequence.
2932 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2933 selected messages to a sequence.
2935 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2938 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2941 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2943 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2945 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2964 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2965 environment variable.
2967 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2968 draft folder facility in nmh.
2970 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2982 * Released nmh-0.13.
2984 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2985 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2986 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2987 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2990 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2991 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2993 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2995 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2996 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2998 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3000 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3025 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3026 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3028 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3029 will suppress the display of the message header.
3031 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3033 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3034 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3036 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3038 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3040 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3042 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3043 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3045 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3046 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3048 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3050 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3052 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3053 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3055 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3056 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3058 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3060 * Released nmh-0.10.

3070 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3072 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3073 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3075 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3080 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3081 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3083 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3085 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3113 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3116 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3118 * Released nmh-0.08.
3120 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3121 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3122 locking database itself.
3124 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3126 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3128 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3129 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3132 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3133 rather than mmdf format.
3135 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3136 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3137 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3138 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3140 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3142 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3144 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3147 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3148 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3149 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3151 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3152 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3153 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3155 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3157 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3158 can still easily change this in config.h).
3160 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3161 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3162 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3164 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3166 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3181 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3183 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3184 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3187 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3188 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3190 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3191 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3193 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3195 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3197 * Added configure check for tzset.

3201 * Released nmh-0.06.
3203 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3204 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3206 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3207 many such machines around anymore.
3209 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3210 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3212 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3213 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3215 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3217 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3218 pre-generated version if necessary.
3220 * Released nmh-0.05.
3222 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3223 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3224 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3225 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3227 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3228 be linked in one pass.
3230 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3232 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3233 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3235 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3237 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3239 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3242 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3243 become the current folder.
3245 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3247 * Released nmh-0.04.

3252 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3255 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3256 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3258 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3260 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3261 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3263 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3265 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3266 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3269 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3270 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3272 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3274 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3275 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3276 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3277 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3278 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3279 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3281 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3283 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3284 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3286 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3287 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3289 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3291 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3292 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3294 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3296 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3297 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3298 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3300 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3302 * Released nmh-0.03.
3304 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3305 .mh_sequence file existed.
3307 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3308 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3310 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3311 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3314 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3316 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3319 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3321 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3322 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3323 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3325 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3327 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3328 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3329 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3331 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3333 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3334 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3336 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3338 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3340 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3341 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3342 directory from where the source code is located.
3344 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3346 * Released nmh-0.02.

3360 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3362 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3364 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3366 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3367 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3368 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3369 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3370 rather than in script.
3372 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3374 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3376 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3381 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3382 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3384 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3385 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3386 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3387 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3390 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3392 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3393 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3395 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3398 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3400 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3402 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3403 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3405 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3407 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3408 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3410 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3412 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3413 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3414 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3415 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3416 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3417 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3419 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3421 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3423 * Released nmh-0.01.
3425 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3426 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3427 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3430 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3432 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3435 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3437 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3438 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3440 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3442 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3443 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3444 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3445 script to find_program.
3447 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3449 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3450 speed up -recurse option.
3452 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3453 yet, but it compiles :-)
3455 * Changed default location for install to
3456 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3457 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3458 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3461 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3462 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3463 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
