1 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
4 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
7 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
8 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults. (Ported from
11 2008-05-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
13 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
14 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
15 This allows users to masquerade with the default
16 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
17 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
18 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
19 etc/mts.conf. (Ported from trunk.)
21 2008-05-20 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
23 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $<
24 in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only
25 defined in inference rules. (Ported from trunk.)
27 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
29 * Released nmh-1.3 RC2.
31 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
33 * Fixes ported from trunk:
35 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
36 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
37 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
38 ruserpass() has a void return type.
40 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
41 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
42 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
43 provide memmove() substitute implementation
45 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
46 source directory' feature
48 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
49 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
51 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
53 * Fixes ported from trunk:
55 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
56 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
57 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
60 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
61 is the wrong approach.
63 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
64 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
65 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
68 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
69 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
70 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
71 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
72 broken for continued lines from the server.
74 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
76 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
78 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
80 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
82 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
84 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
85 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
86 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
87 obsolete feature of autoconf
89 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
91 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
92 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
93 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
95 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
97 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
98 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
100 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
102 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
105 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
107 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
108 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
109 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
110 following done() (should never be reached).
112 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
114 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
115 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
117 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
119 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
120 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
122 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
124 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
125 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
126 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
127 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
128 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
129 acconfig.h if you must.
131 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
133 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
134 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
135 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
136 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
138 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
140 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
143 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
145 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
146 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
147 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
148 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
149 have Content-Disposition.
151 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
153 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
156 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
158 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
159 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
161 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
163 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
164 encoded block is empty
166 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
168 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
169 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
170 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
173 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
175 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
176 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
179 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
181 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
182 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
183 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
184 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
187 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
188 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
190 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
192 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
193 function num_digits into utils.c
195 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
197 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
198 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
199 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
201 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
203 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
204 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
205 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
206 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
207 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
208 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
209 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
210 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
212 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
214 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
215 Content-Disposition header.
217 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
219 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
220 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
221 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
222 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
223 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
224 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
225 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
226 users to easily accomodate that by adding
227 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
229 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
231 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
232 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
234 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
236 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
238 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
239 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
241 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
242 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
244 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
246 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
247 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
248 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
249 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
250 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
253 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
255 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
256 widths, restoring right justification feature
258 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
260 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
261 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
262 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
264 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
267 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
269 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
270 handling multi column characters.
272 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
274 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
276 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
278 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
279 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
282 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
284 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
286 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
288 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
291 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
293 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
296 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
298 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
299 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
300 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
301 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
303 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
305 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
306 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
307 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
308 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
309 where configure's autodetection fails.
311 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
313 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
314 configure script change.
316 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
318 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
319 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
320 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
323 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
325 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
326 the context is only read once.
328 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
330 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
331 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
333 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
335 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
336 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
338 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
339 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
342 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
343 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
346 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
348 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
349 vi isn't found during build.
351 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
353 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
354 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
356 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
357 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
358 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
360 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
362 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
363 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
365 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
366 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
367 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
368 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
371 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
372 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
373 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
375 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
376 entry in the context file.
378 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
380 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
381 problems on some systems
383 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
384 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
386 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
388 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
389 sendmail isn't found during build.
391 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
393 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
395 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
397 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
398 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
400 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
401 references to the web page and mailing list locations
403 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
404 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
406 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
409 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
411 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
412 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
413 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
415 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
416 was configured with --enable-apop.
418 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
419 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
420 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
422 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
423 new versions of flex.
425 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
426 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
427 doesn't guess wrongly.
429 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
431 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
432 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
434 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
435 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
437 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
438 files with numbers as names
440 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
442 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
444 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
446 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
448 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
449 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
451 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
453 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
456 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
457 test/report error writing to stdout
459 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
461 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
463 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
464 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
465 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
467 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
468 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
469 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
471 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
473 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
474 character set used by the current locale
476 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
477 message's filename overflows an int when converted
479 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
480 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
482 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
484 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
487 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
489 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
490 from Michael Richardson.
492 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
493 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
495 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
497 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
498 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
500 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
502 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
503 find sub-parts of the specified part
505 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
507 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
508 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
509 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
510 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
511 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
512 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
513 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
516 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
518 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
519 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
520 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
523 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
524 refiling with -src option.
526 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
528 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
530 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
532 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
533 mailpath being overwritten.
535 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
537 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
538 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
539 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
540 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
541 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
542 reinitializes the tmp file string.
544 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
545 if a format string was read from the profile.
547 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
548 path for the external hook.
550 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
552 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
553 another location for ndbm.
555 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
557 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
559 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
561 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
564 136976 - Handle binary content messages
565 143427 - mh-format.man typo
566 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
567 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
568 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
569 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
570 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
571 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
572 181867 - typo for nmh.man
574 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
576 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
577 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
578 contitional code which will result in cached data to
579 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
580 and parse on the first use.
581 * Remove some unused flag bits.
583 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
585 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
586 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
588 #578 - repl leaks umask
589 #1393 - sortm core dumps
590 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
591 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
592 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
594 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
595 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
597 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
599 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
600 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
602 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
604 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
605 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
606 to docs/README.about.
608 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
610 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
612 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
613 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
614 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
615 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
618 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
620 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
621 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
622 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
623 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
624 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
625 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
628 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
629 summary configure prints out.
631 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
632 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
633 subjectively more readable) format.
635 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
637 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
640 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
642 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
643 19xx when it's not necessary.
645 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
647 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
648 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
651 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
652 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
653 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
654 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
655 the man pages correctly.
657 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
659 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
661 * Finished manpages ali-prev
663 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
664 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
665 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
668 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
669 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
670 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
671 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
673 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
675 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
676 the formatting rules I've been using.
680 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
682 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
683 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
684 used in the manpages.
686 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
687 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
688 read in the contents of the file as the variable
691 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
692 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
693 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
694 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
695 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
696 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
697 bold flags and italicized parameters.
699 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
701 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
702 --with-locking option.
704 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
705 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
706 information was not being communicated to the
707 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
708 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
709 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
710 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
711 undefined symbols problems.
713 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
714 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
715 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
716 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
717 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
718 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
719 for a genuine krb4 installation.
721 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
723 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
724 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
726 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
728 * Made a new ./configure option called
729 "--with-locking" that allows the file
730 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
731 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
733 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
734 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
735 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
736 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
737 the user that these are the valid options, and
738 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
741 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
743 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
744 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
745 committed to supporting flex only, since
746 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
747 string, as well as other problems documented
748 below and on nmh-workers.
750 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
751 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
752 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
755 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
756 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
758 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
760 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
761 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
762 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
764 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
766 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
767 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
769 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
771 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
772 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
773 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
774 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
775 couldn't correctly identify them.
777 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
779 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
780 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
781 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
782 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
783 not depending on an external archive.
785 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
786 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
787 mts/generic is no longer built.
789 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
791 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
792 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
793 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
794 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
795 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
796 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
797 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
798 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
800 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
802 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
803 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
806 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
808 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
809 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
810 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
813 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
814 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
815 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
816 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
818 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
819 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
820 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
821 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
822 merged into the smtp code).
824 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
825 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
826 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
829 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
830 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
831 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
832 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
833 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
834 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
835 in the appropriate Makefile.in
837 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
839 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
840 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
841 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
842 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
843 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
844 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
845 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
846 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
847 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
848 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
849 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
851 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
854 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
855 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
856 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
857 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
858 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
859 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
860 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
861 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
863 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
865 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
866 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
869 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
872 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
874 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
876 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
877 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
878 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
879 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
881 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
884 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
885 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
886 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
887 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
889 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
890 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
892 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
894 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
896 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
897 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
898 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
899 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
901 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
902 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
903 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
904 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
906 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
907 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
908 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
909 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
911 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
912 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
913 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
915 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
917 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
918 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
919 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
920 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
921 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
922 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
925 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
926 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
928 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
929 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
931 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
933 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
935 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
937 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
938 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
939 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
940 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
942 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
944 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
945 be easily changed from "," to "#".
947 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
949 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
951 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
952 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
955 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
957 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
958 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
959 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
960 but not for the subsequent data stream.
962 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
964 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
965 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
966 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
967 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
968 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
970 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
972 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
973 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
975 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
976 cat, also define lorder as echo.
978 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
980 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
982 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
983 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
984 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
986 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
988 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
991 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
992 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
994 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
996 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
997 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
999 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1001 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1002 inc does not need to be setgid.
1004 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1006 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1007 library, as found on Debian systems.
1009 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1011 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1013 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1014 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1015 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1016 case-insensitivity flag.
1018 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1020 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1021 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1023 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1025 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1026 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1027 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1028 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1029 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1030 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1031 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1032 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1033 getting moved aside).
1035 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1036 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1038 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1040 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1041 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1042 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1043 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1044 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1045 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1046 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1047 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1048 the prototype, but never sets it.
1050 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1051 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1052 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1053 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1054 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1055 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1057 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1058 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1059 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1060 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1061 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1063 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1065 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1066 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1069 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1070 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1071 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1072 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1073 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1074 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1075 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1077 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1079 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1081 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1082 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1083 this works on other systems.
1085 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1087 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1088 checks for write failures.
1090 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1092 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1094 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1097 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1099 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1101 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1103 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1104 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1107 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1109 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1110 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1111 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1112 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1114 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1116 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1117 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1120 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1121 as well as Makefiles.
1123 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1125 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1126 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1127 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1128 should make maintainability easier.
1130 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1131 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1132 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1133 whatever you know works.
1135 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1137 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1138 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1139 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1141 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1142 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1143 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1144 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1146 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1147 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1148 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1150 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1151 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1152 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1153 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1154 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1156 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1157 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1158 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1159 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1160 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1161 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1162 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1163 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1164 from the BSD version.
1166 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1167 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1168 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1170 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1171 in ruserpass.c also.
1173 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1176 This happens on solaris:
1179 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1180 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1184 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1186 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1187 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1189 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1192 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1193 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1194 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1195 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1196 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1197 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1198 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1199 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1200 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1201 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1203 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1204 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1205 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1206 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1207 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1208 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1211 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1212 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1213 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1214 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1215 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1217 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1218 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1220 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1222 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1223 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1224 to stdin, such as exmh.
1226 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1227 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1228 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1231 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1234 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1235 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1236 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1237 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1238 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1239 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1241 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1243 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1244 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1246 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1248 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1249 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1251 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1253 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1256 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1257 along with any -host or -user option.
1259 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1261 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1263 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1264 process was fresh in my mind.
1266 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1268 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1269 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1271 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1273 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1275 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1278 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1279 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1280 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1281 part of the program's name.
1283 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1284 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1287 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1289 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1290 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1291 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1292 single-character format would cause programs using this
1293 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1294 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1295 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1296 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1299 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1301 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1302 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1303 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1304 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1305 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1306 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1308 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1309 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1310 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1311 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1312 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1313 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1314 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1315 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1317 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1318 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1319 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1320 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1321 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1322 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1323 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1324 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1325 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1326 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1328 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1330 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1331 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1333 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1334 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1336 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1341 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1343 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1344 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1345 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1346 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1348 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1349 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1350 problem in the routine.
1352 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1354 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1355 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1357 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1358 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1359 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1362 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1364 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1365 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1366 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1367 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1368 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1369 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1370 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1371 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1372 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1373 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1375 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1377 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1378 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1379 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1380 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1381 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1382 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1383 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1384 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1385 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1386 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1387 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1388 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1390 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1391 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1392 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1393 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1394 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1396 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1399 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1401 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1402 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1403 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1404 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1407 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1409 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1411 * Applied, after some finessing,
1412 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1414 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1416 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1418 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1419 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1420 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1421 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1423 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1425 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1426 forgetting to do so!).
1428 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1429 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1430 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1431 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1432 arguments to enable all three types.
1434 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1435 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1437 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1438 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1439 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1440 updated copy of mts.conf.
1442 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1444 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1445 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1446 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1448 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1450 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1452 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1453 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1454 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1456 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1457 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1458 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1460 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1461 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1462 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1464 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1466 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1468 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1470 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1472 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1473 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1475 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1476 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1477 certain suffix to run properly.
1479 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1480 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1481 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1483 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1484 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1485 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1486 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1487 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1488 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1489 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1491 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1493 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1494 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1495 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1496 until some year far in the future).
1498 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1500 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1502 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1503 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1505 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1506 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1509 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1511 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1512 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1513 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1514 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1515 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1516 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1518 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1520 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1522 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1523 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1524 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1526 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1527 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1528 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1529 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1530 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1531 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1534 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1535 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1536 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1537 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1538 of masquerading individually.
1540 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1541 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1542 GECOS field delimiters.
1544 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1546 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1547 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1548 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1549 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1550 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1551 and explaining the feature.
1553 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1555 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1556 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1559 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1560 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1561 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1563 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1564 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1565 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1566 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1568 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1569 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1570 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1573 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1575 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1576 code to be executed.
1578 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1580 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1582 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1583 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1584 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1585 quotes embedded in them.
1587 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1589 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1590 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1591 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1592 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1593 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1594 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1595 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1598 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1599 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1600 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1601 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1602 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1604 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1606 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1608 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1609 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1610 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1611 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1613 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1616 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1618 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1620 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1622 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1623 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1624 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1626 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1629 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1631 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1632 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1633 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1634 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1635 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1636 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1638 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1639 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1641 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1643 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1646 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1648 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1649 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1650 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1653 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1654 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1655 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1656 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1657 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1658 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1659 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1660 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1661 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1662 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1663 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1664 processing that post has).
1666 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1668 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1669 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1670 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1671 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1672 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1673 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1676 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1678 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1680 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1682 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1684 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1685 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1687 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1690 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1692 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1693 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1694 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1697 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1699 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1700 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1701 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1702 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1703 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1704 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1706 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1708 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1710 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1712 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1713 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1714 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1715 caught again. This works for now.
1717 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1719 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1721 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1722 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1724 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1726 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1727 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1729 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1731 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1733 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1735 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1736 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1738 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1740 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1741 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1742 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1743 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1744 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1747 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1749 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1750 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1751 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1753 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1754 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1757 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1759 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1760 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1761 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1763 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1765 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1766 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1768 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1770 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1773 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1774 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1776 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1777 macros, regardless of platform.
1779 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1780 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1782 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1783 with x-conversions=gzip.
1785 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1787 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1790 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1791 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1792 implicit definition of ioctl().
1794 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1795 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1796 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1797 want to mess with them.
1799 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1801 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1802 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1804 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1805 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1807 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1808 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1809 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1811 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1812 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1813 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1815 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1816 function initgroups.
1818 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1821 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1822 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1825 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1826 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1829 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1830 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1834 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1836 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1837 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1838 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1840 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1841 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1843 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1845 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1847 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1848 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1849 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1850 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1852 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1853 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1855 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1857 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1859 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1861 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1862 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1864 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1866 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1867 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1869 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1870 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1871 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1872 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1874 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1875 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1877 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1879 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1880 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1882 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1884 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1885 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1888 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1890 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1892 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1894 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1895 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1897 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1898 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1899 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1901 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1902 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1903 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1905 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1906 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1907 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1909 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1910 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1913 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1914 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1916 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1917 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1919 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1920 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1922 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1923 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1924 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1926 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1927 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1929 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1930 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1931 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1933 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1934 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1937 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1938 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1940 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1941 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1942 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1943 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1945 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1946 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1948 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1952 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1953 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1954 would not be changed.
1956 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1957 one from the Apache web server.
1959 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1960 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1962 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1963 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1964 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1966 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1968 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1970 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1971 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1974 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1975 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1976 removes a bad race condition.
1978 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1981 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1982 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1983 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1985 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1986 sequence information.
1988 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1989 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1991 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1994 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1997 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1999 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2000 interpret 034 as octal.
2002 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2004 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2005 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2007 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2008 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2010 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2011 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2013 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2014 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2016 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2017 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2019 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2020 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2021 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2023 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2024 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2025 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2027 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2029 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2031 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2032 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2035 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2037 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2038 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2040 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2041 header field information.
2043 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2044 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2046 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2047 values when parsing a content.
2049 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2050 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2052 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2053 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2055 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2056 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2058 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2059 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2061 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2063 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2065 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2067 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2069 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2070 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2073 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2074 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2076 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2077 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2078 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2079 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2080 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2081 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2084 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2086 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2087 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2088 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2090 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2091 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2093 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2095 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2096 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2097 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2098 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2100 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2101 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2104 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2105 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2106 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2107 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2110 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2112 * Released nmh-0.27.
2114 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2115 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2117 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2118 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2119 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2120 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2123 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2124 mhbuild returns an error.
2126 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2127 rename the draft file.
2129 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2130 use a global variable.
2132 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2133 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2135 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2136 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2138 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2139 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2140 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2142 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2143 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2145 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2146 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2149 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2150 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2153 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2154 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2156 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2157 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2158 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2160 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2161 to new function output_content_folder.
2163 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2164 new function output_content_file.
2166 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2167 to new function parse_format_string.
2169 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2170 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2171 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2172 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2174 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2175 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2176 message/external file from ftp.
2178 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2179 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2180 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2182 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2183 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2186 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2189 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2190 new file mhstoresbr.c
2192 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2195 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2196 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2198 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2199 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2201 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2202 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2203 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2205 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2207 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2209 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2210 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2213 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2214 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2216 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2219 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2221 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2223 * Released nmh-0.26.
2225 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2226 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2227 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2228 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2230 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2231 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2232 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2233 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2234 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2236 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2237 But it is not on by default.
2239 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2240 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2242 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2244 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2246 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2248 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2250 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2251 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2253 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2255 * Released nmh-0.25.
2257 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2258 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2259 uses the original name of the library.
2261 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2262 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2265 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2266 list_content and list_debug.
2268 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2270 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2271 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2273 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2275 * Released nmh-0.24.
2277 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2279 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2280 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2282 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2283 large sequence line.
2285 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2287 * Released nmh-0.23.
2289 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2291 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2292 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2293 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2294 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2296 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2297 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2300 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2302 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2304 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2306 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2307 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2309 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2310 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2312 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2313 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2315 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2316 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2318 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2320 * Released nmh-0.22.
2322 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2323 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2325 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2327 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2328 mh-profile(5) man page.
2330 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2331 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2333 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2335 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2337 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2338 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2340 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2342 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2343 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2344 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2346 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2347 source message on the standard input.
2349 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2351 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2352 rather than -rfc934mode.
2354 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2355 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2358 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2359 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2361 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2364 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2366 * Released nmh-0.21.
2368 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2369 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2371 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2374 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2375 to use for text contents.
2377 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2379 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2381 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2383 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2385 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2386 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2388 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2389 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2390 spaces between encoded word are.
2392 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2394 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2395 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2397 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2398 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2399 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2401 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2403 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2404 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2406 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2408 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2410 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2411 ISO-8859-X character set.
2413 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2416 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2417 permissions, not write permissions.
2419 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2420 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2422 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2425 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2427 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2429 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2430 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2432 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2433 message contains valid character set.
2435 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2436 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2438 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2439 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2441 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2442 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2443 between an encoded word and normal text.
2445 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2446 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2448 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2449 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2451 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2454 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2455 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2458 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2459 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2461 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2462 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2464 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2466 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Released nmh-0.20.
2470 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2472 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2474 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2475 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2476 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2478 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2479 and the To: line was missing.
2481 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2483 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2485 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2487 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2488 watch the POP transaction.
2490 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2491 first, and use it if available.
2493 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2494 first, and use it if available.
2496 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2498 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2500 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2501 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2502 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2505 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2506 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2507 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2509 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2510 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2513 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2515 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2516 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2518 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2520 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2521 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2523 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2524 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2525 message to which you are replying.
2527 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2528 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2529 making group replies.
2531 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2533 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2535 * Released nmh-0.19.
2537 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2538 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2540 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2541 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2542 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2543 to the end of the man page.
2545 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2546 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2547 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2548 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2549 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2550 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2552 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2555 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2556 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2557 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2559 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2560 the next available number above the message number you wish
2563 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2564 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2566 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2567 file sbr/seq_print.c
2569 * flist will now update the current folder.
2571 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2572 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2573 but now undocumented.
2575 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2578 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2579 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2581 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2583 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2584 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2586 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2588 * Released nmh-0.18.
2590 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2591 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2592 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2594 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2595 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2597 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2598 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2599 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2600 previous public/private status.
2602 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2605 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2608 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2609 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2610 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2612 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2613 take option to determine whether it should get current
2614 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2615 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2617 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2619 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2620 wait for stopped processes.
2622 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2623 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2625 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2627 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2629 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2630 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2632 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2633 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2635 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2636 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2637 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2638 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2640 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2643 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2646 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2648 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2649 the debugging output.
2651 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2652 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2654 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2656 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2658 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2659 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2661 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2663 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2664 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2665 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2666 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2667 in the given sequence.
2669 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2670 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2671 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2672 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2673 subdirectories of a given directory.
2675 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2676 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2677 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2679 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2680 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2682 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2684 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2687 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2688 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2689 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2691 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2692 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2693 are calculated at runtime.
2695 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2697 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2699 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2700 about checking for global mh.profile.
2702 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2703 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2704 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2705 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2706 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2707 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2709 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2710 adding message to folder itself.
2712 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2713 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2714 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2717 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2718 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2721 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2722 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2723 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2725 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2726 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2728 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2729 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2730 code to use it yet).
2732 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2734 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2736 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2737 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2739 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2740 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2742 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2744 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2747 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2749 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2751 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2753 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2755 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2756 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2758 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2760 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2762 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2764 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2766 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2768 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2769 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2771 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2772 configuration files.
2774 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2776 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Released nmh-0.17.
2780 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2782 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2783 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2785 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2788 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2789 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2791 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2792 number of refiled message.
2794 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2796 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2797 for return value of wait().
2799 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2801 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * Released nmh-0.16.
2805 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2809 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2810 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2811 deal with binary messages, yet).
2813 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2815 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2817 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2818 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2819 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2820 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2821 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2822 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2824 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2825 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2827 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2828 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2830 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2831 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2834 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2836 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2838 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2839 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2842 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2845 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2847 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2848 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2849 which used unsigned chars by default.
2851 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2853 * Released nmh-0.15.
2855 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2860 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2862 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2865 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2866 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2867 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2869 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2870 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2872 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2874 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2875 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2877 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2878 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2879 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2880 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2882 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2883 and put in own subroutine.
2885 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2886 and put in own subroutine.
2888 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2889 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2890 refile.c to use new routine.

2894 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2896 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2899 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2900 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2901 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2903 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2906 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2907 adding message to sequence.

2910 corresponding file in sbr.
2912 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2915 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2917 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2918 all selected messages from a sequence.
2920 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2921 selected messages to a sequence.
2923 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2926 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2928 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2929 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2931 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2933 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2952 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2953 environment variable.
2955 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2956 draft folder facility in nmh.
2958 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2970 * Released nmh-0.13.
2972 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2973 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2974 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2975 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2978 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2979 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2981 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2983 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2984 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2986 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3013 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3014 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3016 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3017 will suppress the display of the message header.
3019 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3021 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3022 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3024 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3026 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3028 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3030 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3031 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3033 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3034 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3036 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3038 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3040 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3041 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3043 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3044 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3046 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3048 * Released nmh-0.10.

3058 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3060 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3061 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3063 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3064 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3066 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3069 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3071 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3101 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3104 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3106 * Released nmh-0.08.
3108 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3109 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3110 locking database itself.
3112 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3114 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3116 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3117 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3120 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3121 rather than mmdf format.
3123 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3124 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3125 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3126 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3128 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3130 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3132 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3135 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3136 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3137 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3139 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3140 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3141 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3143 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3145 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3146 can still easily change this in config.h).
3148 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3149 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3150 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3152 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3154 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3166 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3169 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3171 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3172 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3175 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3176 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3178 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3179 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.

3189 * Released nmh-0.06.
3191 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3192 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3194 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3195 many such machines around anymore.
3197 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3198 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3200 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3201 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3203 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3205 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3206 pre-generated version if necessary.
3208 * Released nmh-0.05.
3210 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3211 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3212 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3213 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3215 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3216 be linked in one pass.
3218 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3221 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3223 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3225 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3227 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3230 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3231 become the current folder.
3233 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3235 * Released nmh-0.04.

3240 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3242 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3243 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3244 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3246 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3248 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3249 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3251 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3253 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3254 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3257 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3258 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3260 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3262 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3263 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3264 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3265 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3266 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3267 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3269 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3271 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3272 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3274 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3275 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3277 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3280 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3282 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3285 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3286 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3288 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3290 * Released nmh-0.03.
3292 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3293 .mh_sequence file existed.
3295 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3296 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3298 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3299 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3302 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3307 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3310 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3311 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3313 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3315 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3316 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3317 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3319 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3321 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3322 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3324 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3326 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3328 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3329 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3330 directory from where the source code is located.
3332 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3334 * Released nmh-0.02.

3348 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3350 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3352 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3354 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3355 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3356 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3357 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3358 rather than in script.
3360 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3362 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3364 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3369 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3370 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3372 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3373 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3374 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3375 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3378 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3380 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3381 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3383 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3386 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3388 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3390 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3391 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3393 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3395 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3396 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3398 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3400 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3401 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3402 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3403 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3404 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3405 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

3409 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3411 * Released nmh-0.01.
3413 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3414 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3415 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't

3430 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3431 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).

3437 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3438 speed up -recurse option.
3440 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3441 yet, but it compiles :-)
3443 * Changed default location for install to
3444 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3445 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3446 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3449 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3450 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3451 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
