1 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
4 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
5 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
6 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
7 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
8 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
9 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
11 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
13 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
14 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
16 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
18 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
19 with multibyte support.
21 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
22 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
23 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
24 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
26 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
28 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
29 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
31 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
32 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
34 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
36 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
37 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
38 the address of a static array.
40 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
42 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
43 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
45 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
47 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
48 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
49 This allows users to masquerade with the default
50 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
51 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
52 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
55 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
57 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
58 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
59 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
60 ruserpass() has a void return type.
62 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
63 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
64 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
65 provide memmove() substitute implementation
67 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
68 source directory' feature
70 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
71 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
73 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
75 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
76 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
77 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
80 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
82 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
83 is the wrong approach.
85 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
86 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
87 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
90 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
91 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
92 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
93 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
94 broken for continued lines from the server.
96 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
98 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
99 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
101 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
103 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
105 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
108 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
110 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
112 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
114 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
115 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
116 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
117 obsolete feature of autoconf
119 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
121 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
122 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
123 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
125 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
127 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
128 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
130 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
132 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
135 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
137 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
138 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
139 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
140 following done() (should never be reached).
142 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
144 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
145 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
147 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
149 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
150 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
152 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
154 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
155 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
156 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
157 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
158 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
159 acconfig.h if you must.
161 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
163 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
164 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
165 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
166 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
168 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
170 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
173 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
175 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
176 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
177 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
178 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
179 have Content-Disposition.
181 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
183 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
186 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
188 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
189 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
191 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
193 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
194 encoded block is empty
196 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
198 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
199 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
200 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
203 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
205 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
206 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
209 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
211 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
212 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
213 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
214 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
217 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
218 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
220 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
222 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
223 function num_digits into utils.c
225 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
227 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
228 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
229 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
231 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
233 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
234 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
235 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
236 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
237 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
238 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
239 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
240 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
242 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
244 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
245 Content-Disposition header.
247 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
249 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
250 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
251 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
252 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
253 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
254 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
255 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
256 users to easily accomodate that by adding
257 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
259 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
261 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
262 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
264 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
266 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
268 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
269 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
271 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
272 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
274 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
276 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
277 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
278 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
279 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
280 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
283 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
285 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
286 widths, restoring right justification feature
288 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
290 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
291 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
292 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
294 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
297 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
299 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
300 handling multi column characters.
302 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
304 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
306 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
308 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
309 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
312 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
314 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
316 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
318 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
321 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
323 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
326 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
328 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
329 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
330 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
331 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
333 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
335 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
336 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
337 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
338 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
339 where configure's autodetection fails.
341 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
343 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
344 configure script change.
346 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
348 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
349 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
350 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
353 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
355 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
356 the context is only read once.
358 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
360 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
361 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
363 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
365 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
366 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
368 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
369 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
372 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
373 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
376 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
378 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
379 vi isn't found during build.
381 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
383 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
384 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
386 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
387 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
388 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
390 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
392 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
393 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
395 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
396 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
397 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
398 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
401 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
402 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
403 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
405 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
406 entry in the context file.
408 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
410 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
411 problems on some systems
413 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
414 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
416 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
418 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
419 sendmail isn't found during build.
421 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
423 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
425 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
427 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
428 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
430 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
431 references to the web page and mailing list locations
433 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
434 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
436 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
439 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
441 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
442 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
443 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
445 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
446 was configured with --enable-apop.
448 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
449 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
450 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
452 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
453 new versions of flex.
455 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
456 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
457 doesn't guess wrongly.
459 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
461 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
462 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
464 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
465 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
467 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
468 files with numbers as names
470 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
472 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
474 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
476 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
478 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
479 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
481 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
483 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
486 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
487 test/report error writing to stdout
489 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
491 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
493 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
494 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
495 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
497 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
498 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
499 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
501 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
503 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
504 character set used by the current locale
506 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
507 message's filename overflows an int when converted
509 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
510 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
512 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
514 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
517 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
519 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
520 from Michael Richardson.
522 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
523 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
525 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
527 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
528 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
530 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
532 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
533 find sub-parts of the specified part
535 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
537 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
538 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
539 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
540 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
541 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
542 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
543 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
546 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
548 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
549 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
550 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
553 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
554 refiling with -src option.
556 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
558 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
560 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
562 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
563 mailpath being overwritten.
565 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
567 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
568 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
569 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
570 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
571 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
572 reinitializes the tmp file string.
574 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
575 if a format string was read from the profile.
577 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
578 path for the external hook.
580 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
582 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
583 another location for ndbm.
585 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
587 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
589 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
591 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
594 136976 - Handle binary content messages
595 143427 - mh-format.man typo
596 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
597 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
598 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
599 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
600 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
601 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
602 181867 - typo for nmh.man
604 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
606 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
607 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
608 contitional code which will result in cached data to
609 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
610 and parse on the first use.
611 * Remove some unused flag bits.
613 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
615 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
616 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
618 #578 - repl leaks umask
619 #1393 - sortm core dumps
620 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
621 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
622 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
624 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
625 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
627 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
629 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
630 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
632 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
634 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
635 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
636 to docs/README.about.
638 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
640 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
642 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
643 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
644 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
645 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
648 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
650 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
651 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
652 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
653 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
654 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
655 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
658 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
659 summary configure prints out.
661 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
662 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
663 subjectively more readable) format.
665 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
667 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
670 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
672 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
673 19xx when it's not necessary.
675 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
677 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
678 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
681 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
682 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
683 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
684 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
685 the man pages correctly.
687 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
689 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
691 * Finished manpages ali-prev
693 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
694 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
695 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
698 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
699 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
700 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
701 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
703 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
705 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
706 the formatting rules I've been using.
710 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
712 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
713 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
714 used in the manpages.
716 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
717 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
718 read in the contents of the file as the variable
721 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
722 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
723 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
724 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
725 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
726 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
727 bold flags and italicized parameters.
729 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
731 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
732 --with-locking option.
734 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
735 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
736 information was not being communicated to the
737 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
738 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
739 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
740 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
741 undefined symbols problems.
743 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
744 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
745 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
746 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
747 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
748 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
749 for a genuine krb4 installation.
751 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
753 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
754 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
756 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
758 * Made a new ./configure option called
759 "--with-locking" that allows the file
760 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
761 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
763 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
764 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
765 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
766 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
767 the user that these are the valid options, and
768 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
771 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
773 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
774 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
775 committed to supporting flex only, since
776 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
777 string, as well as other problems documented
778 below and on nmh-workers.
780 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
781 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
782 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
785 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
786 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
788 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
790 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
791 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
792 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
794 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
796 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
797 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
799 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
801 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
802 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
803 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
804 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
805 couldn't correctly identify them.
807 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
809 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
810 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
811 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
812 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
813 not depending on an external archive.
815 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
816 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
817 mts/generic is no longer built.
819 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
821 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
822 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
823 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
824 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
825 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
826 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
827 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
828 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
830 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
832 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
833 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
836 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
838 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
839 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
840 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
843 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
844 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
845 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
846 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
848 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
849 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
850 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
851 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
852 merged into the smtp code).
854 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
855 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
856 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
859 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
860 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
861 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
862 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
863 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
864 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
865 in the appropriate Makefile.in
867 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
869 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
870 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
871 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
872 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
873 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
874 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
875 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
876 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
877 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
878 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
879 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
881 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
884 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
885 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
886 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
887 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
888 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
889 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
890 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
891 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
893 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
895 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
896 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
899 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
901 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
902 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
904 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
906 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
907 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
908 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
909 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
911 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
913 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
914 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
915 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
916 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
917 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
919 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
920 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
922 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
924 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
926 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
927 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
928 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
929 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
931 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
932 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
933 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
934 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
936 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
937 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
938 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
939 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
941 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
942 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
943 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
945 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
947 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
948 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
949 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
950 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
951 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
952 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
955 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
956 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
958 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
959 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
961 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
963 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
965 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
967 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
968 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
969 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
970 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
972 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
974 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
975 be easily changed from "," to "#".
977 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
979 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
981 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
982 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
985 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
987 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
988 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
989 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
990 but not for the subsequent data stream.
992 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
994 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
995 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
996 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
997 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
998 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1000 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1002 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1003 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1005 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1006 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1008 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1010 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1012 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1013 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1014 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1016 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1018 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1021 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1022 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1024 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1026 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1027 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1029 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1031 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1032 inc does not need to be setgid.
1034 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1036 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1037 library, as found on Debian systems.
1039 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1041 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1043 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1044 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1045 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1046 case-insensitivity flag.
1048 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1050 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1051 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1053 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1055 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1056 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1057 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1058 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1059 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1060 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1061 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1062 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1063 getting moved aside).
1065 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1066 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1068 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1070 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1071 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1072 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1073 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1074 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1075 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1076 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1077 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1078 the prototype, but never sets it.
1080 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1081 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1082 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1083 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1084 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1085 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1087 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1088 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1089 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1090 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1091 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1093 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1095 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1096 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1099 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1100 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1101 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1102 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1103 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1104 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1105 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1107 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1109 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1111 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1112 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1113 this works on other systems.
1115 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1117 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1118 checks for write failures.
1120 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1122 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1124 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1127 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1129 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1131 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1133 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1134 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1137 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1139 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1140 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1141 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1142 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1144 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1146 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1147 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1150 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1151 as well as Makefiles.
1153 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1155 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1156 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1157 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1158 should make maintainability easier.
1160 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1161 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1162 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1163 whatever you know works.
1165 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1168 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1169 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1171 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1172 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1173 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1174 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1176 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1177 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1178 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1180 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1181 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1182 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1183 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1184 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1186 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1187 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1188 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1189 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1190 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1191 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1192 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1193 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1194 from the BSD version.
1196 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1197 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1198 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1200 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1201 in ruserpass.c also.
1203 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1206 This happens on solaris:
1209 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1210 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1214 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1216 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1217 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1219 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1221 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1222 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1223 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1224 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1225 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1226 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1227 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1228 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1229 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1230 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1231 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1233 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1234 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1235 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1236 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1237 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1238 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1241 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1242 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1243 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1244 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1245 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1247 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1248 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1250 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1252 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1253 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1254 to stdin, such as exmh.
1256 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1257 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1258 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1261 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1263 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1264 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1265 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1266 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1267 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1268 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1269 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1271 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1273 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1274 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1276 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1278 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1279 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1281 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1283 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1286 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1287 along with any -host or -user option.
1289 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1291 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1293 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1294 process was fresh in my mind.
1296 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1298 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1299 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1301 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1303 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1305 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1308 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1309 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1310 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1311 part of the program's name.
1313 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1314 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1317 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1319 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1320 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1321 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1322 single-character format would cause programs using this
1323 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1324 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1325 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1326 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1329 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1331 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1332 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1333 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1334 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1335 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1336 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1338 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1339 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1340 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1341 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1342 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1343 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1344 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1345 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1347 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1348 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1349 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1350 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1351 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1352 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1353 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1354 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1355 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1356 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1358 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1360 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1361 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1363 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1364 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1366 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1371 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1373 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1374 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1375 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1376 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1378 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1379 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1380 problem in the routine.
1382 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1384 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1385 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1387 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1388 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1389 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1392 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1394 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1395 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1396 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1397 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1398 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1399 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1400 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1401 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1402 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1403 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1405 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1407 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1408 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1409 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1410 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1411 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1412 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1413 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1414 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1415 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1416 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1417 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1418 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1420 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1421 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1422 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1423 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1424 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1426 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1429 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1431 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1432 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1433 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1434 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1437 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1439 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1441 * Applied, after some finessing,
1442 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1444 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1446 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1448 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1449 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1450 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1451 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1453 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1455 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1456 forgetting to do so!).
1458 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1459 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1460 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1461 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1462 arguments to enable all three types.
1464 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1465 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1467 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1468 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1469 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1470 updated copy of mts.conf.
1472 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1474 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1475 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1476 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1478 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1480 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1482 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1483 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1484 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1486 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1487 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1488 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1490 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1491 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1492 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1494 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1496 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1498 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1500 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1502 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1503 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1505 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1506 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1507 certain suffix to run properly.
1509 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1510 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1511 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1513 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1514 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1515 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1516 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1517 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1518 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1519 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1521 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1523 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1524 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1525 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1526 until some year far in the future).
1528 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1530 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1532 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1533 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1535 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1536 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1539 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1541 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1542 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1543 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1544 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1545 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1546 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1548 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1550 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1552 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1553 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1554 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1556 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1557 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1558 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1559 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1560 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1561 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1564 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1565 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1566 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1567 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1568 of masquerading individually.
1570 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1571 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1572 GECOS field delimiters.
1574 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1577 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1578 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1579 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1580 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1581 and explaining the feature.
1583 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1585 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1586 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1589 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1590 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1591 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1593 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1594 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1595 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1596 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1598 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1599 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1600 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1603 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1605 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1606 code to be executed.
1608 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1610 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1612 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1613 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1614 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1615 quotes embedded in them.
1617 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1619 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1620 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1621 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1622 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1623 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1624 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1625 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1628 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1629 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1630 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1631 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1632 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1634 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1636 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1638 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1639 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1640 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1641 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1643 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1646 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1648 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1650 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1652 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1653 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1654 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1656 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1659 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1661 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1662 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1663 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1664 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1665 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1666 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1668 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1669 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1671 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1673 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1676 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1678 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1679 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1680 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1683 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1684 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1685 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1686 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1687 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1688 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1689 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1690 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1691 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1692 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1693 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1694 processing that post has).
1696 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1698 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1699 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1700 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1701 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1702 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1703 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1706 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1708 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1710 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1712 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1714 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1715 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1717 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1720 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1722 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1723 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1724 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1727 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1729 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1730 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1731 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1732 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1733 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1734 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1736 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1738 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1740 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1742 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1743 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1744 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1745 caught again. This works for now.
1747 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1749 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1751 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1752 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1754 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1756 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1757 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1759 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1761 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1763 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1765 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1766 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1768 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1770 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1771 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1772 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1773 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1774 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1777 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1779 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1780 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1781 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1783 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1784 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1787 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1789 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1790 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1791 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1793 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1795 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1796 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1798 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1800 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1803 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1804 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1806 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1807 macros, regardless of platform.
1809 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1810 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1812 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1813 with x-conversions=gzip.
1815 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1817 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1820 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1821 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1822 implicit definition of ioctl().
1824 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1825 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1826 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1827 want to mess with them.
1829 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1831 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1832 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1834 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1835 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1837 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1838 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1839 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1841 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1842 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1843 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1845 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1846 function initgroups.
1848 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1851 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1852 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1855 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1856 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1859 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1860 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1864 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1866 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1867 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1868 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1870 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1871 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1873 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1875 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1877 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1878 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1879 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1880 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1882 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1883 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1885 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1887 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1889 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1891 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1892 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1894 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1896 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1897 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1899 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1900 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1901 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1902 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1904 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1905 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1907 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1909 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1910 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1912 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1914 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1915 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1918 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1920 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1922 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1924 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1925 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1927 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1928 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1929 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1931 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1932 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1933 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1935 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1936 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1937 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1939 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1940 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1943 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1944 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1946 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1947 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1949 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1950 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1952 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1953 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1954 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1956 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1957 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1959 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1960 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1961 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1963 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1964 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1967 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1968 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1970 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1971 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1972 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1973 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1975 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1976 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1978 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1982 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1983 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1984 would not be changed.
1986 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1987 one from the Apache web server.
1989 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1990 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1992 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1993 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1994 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1996 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1998 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2000 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2001 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2004 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2005 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2006 removes a bad race condition.
2008 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2011 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2012 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2013 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2015 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2016 sequence information.
2018 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2019 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2021 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2024 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2027 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2029 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2030 interpret 034 as octal.
2032 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2034 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2035 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2037 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2038 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2040 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2041 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2043 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2044 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2046 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2047 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2049 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2050 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2051 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2053 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2054 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2055 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2057 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2059 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2061 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2062 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2065 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2067 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2068 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2070 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2071 header field information.
2073 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2074 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2076 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2077 values when parsing a content.
2079 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2080 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2082 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2083 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2085 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2086 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2088 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2089 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2091 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2093 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2095 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2097 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2099 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2100 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2103 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2104 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2106 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2107 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2108 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2109 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2110 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2111 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2114 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2116 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2117 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2118 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2120 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2121 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2123 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2125 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2126 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2127 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2128 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2130 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2131 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2134 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2135 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2136 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2137 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2140 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2142 * Released nmh-0.27.
2144 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2145 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2147 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2148 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2149 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2150 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2153 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2154 mhbuild returns an error.
2156 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2157 rename the draft file.
2159 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2160 use a global variable.
2162 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2163 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2165 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2166 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2168 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2169 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2170 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2172 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2173 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2175 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2176 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2179 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2180 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2183 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2184 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2186 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2187 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2188 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2190 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2191 to new function output_content_folder.
2193 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2194 new function output_content_file.
2196 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2197 to new function parse_format_string.
2199 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2200 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2201 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2202 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2204 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2205 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2206 message/external file from ftp.
2208 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2209 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2210 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2212 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2213 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2216 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2219 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2220 new file mhstoresbr.c
2222 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2225 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2226 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2228 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2229 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2231 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2232 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2233 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2235 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2237 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2239 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2240 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2243 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2244 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2246 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2249 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2251 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2253 * Released nmh-0.26.
2255 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2256 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2257 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2258 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2260 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2261 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2262 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2263 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2264 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2266 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2267 But it is not on by default.
2269 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2270 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2272 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2274 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2276 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2278 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2280 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2281 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2283 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2285 * Released nmh-0.25.
2287 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2288 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2289 uses the original name of the library.
2291 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2292 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2295 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2296 list_content and list_debug.
2298 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2300 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2301 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2303 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2305 * Released nmh-0.24.
2307 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2309 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2310 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2312 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2313 large sequence line.
2315 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2317 * Released nmh-0.23.
2319 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2321 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2322 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2323 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2324 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2326 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2327 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2330 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2332 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2334 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2336 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2337 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2339 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2340 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2342 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2343 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2345 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2346 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2348 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2350 * Released nmh-0.22.
2352 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2353 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2355 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2357 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2358 mh-profile(5) man page.
2360 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2361 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2363 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2365 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2367 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2368 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2370 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2372 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2373 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2374 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2376 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2377 source message on the standard input.
2379 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2381 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2382 rather than -rfc934mode.
2384 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2385 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2388 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2389 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2391 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2394 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396 * Released nmh-0.21.
2398 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2399 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2401 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2404 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2405 to use for text contents.
2407 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2409 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2411 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2413 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2415 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2416 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2418 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2419 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2420 spaces between encoded word are.
2422 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2424 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2425 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2427 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2428 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2429 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2431 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2433 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2434 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2436 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2438 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2440 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2441 ISO-8859-X character set.
2443 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2446 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2447 permissions, not write permissions.
2449 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2450 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2452 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2455 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2457 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2459 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2460 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2462 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2463 message contains valid character set.
2465 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2466 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2468 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2469 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2471 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2472 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2473 between an encoded word and normal text.
2475 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2476 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2478 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2479 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2481 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2484 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2485 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2488 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2489 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2491 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2492 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2494 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2496 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2498 * Released nmh-0.20.
2500 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2502 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2504 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2505 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2506 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2508 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2509 and the To: line was missing.
2511 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2513 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2515 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2517 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2518 watch the POP transaction.
2520 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2521 first, and use it if available.
2523 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2524 first, and use it if available.
2526 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2530 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2531 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2532 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2535 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2536 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2537 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2539 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2540 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2543 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2545 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2546 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2548 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2550 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2551 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2553 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2554 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2555 message to which you are replying.
2557 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2558 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2559 making group replies.
2561 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2563 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2565 * Released nmh-0.19.
2567 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2568 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2570 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2571 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2572 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2573 to the end of the man page.
2575 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2576 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2577 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2578 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2579 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2580 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2582 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2585 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2586 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2587 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2589 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2590 the next available number above the message number you wish
2593 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2594 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2596 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2597 file sbr/seq_print.c
2599 * flist will now update the current folder.
2601 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2602 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2603 but now undocumented.
2605 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2608 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2609 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2611 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2613 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2614 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2616 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Released nmh-0.18.
2620 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2621 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2622 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2624 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2625 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2627 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2628 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2629 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2630 previous public/private status.
2632 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2635 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2638 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2639 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2640 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2642 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2643 take option to determine whether it should get current
2644 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2645 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2647 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2649 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2650 wait for stopped processes.
2652 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2653 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2655 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2657 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2659 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2660 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2662 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2663 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2665 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2666 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2667 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2668 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2670 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2673 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2676 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2678 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2679 the debugging output.
2681 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2682 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2684 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2686 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2688 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2689 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2691 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2693 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2694 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2695 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2696 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2697 in the given sequence.
2699 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2700 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2701 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2702 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2703 subdirectories of a given directory.
2705 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2706 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2707 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2709 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2710 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2712 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2714 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2717 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2718 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2719 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2721 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2722 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2723 are calculated at runtime.
2725 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2729 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2730 about checking for global mh.profile.
2732 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2733 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2734 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2735 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2736 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2737 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2739 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2740 adding message to folder itself.
2742 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2743 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2744 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2747 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2748 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2751 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2752 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2753 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2755 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2756 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2758 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2759 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2760 code to use it yet).
2762 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2766 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2767 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2769 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2770 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2772 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2774 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2777 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2779 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2781 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2783 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2785 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2786 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2788 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2790 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2792 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.

2810 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2812 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2813 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2815 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2818 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2819 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2821 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2822 number of refiled message.
2824 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2826 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2827 for return value of wait().

2837 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2839 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2840 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2841 deal with binary messages, yet).
2843 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2845 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2847 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2848 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2849 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2850 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2851 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2852 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2854 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2855 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2857 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2858 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2869 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2872 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2875 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2877 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2878 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2879 which used unsigned chars by default.

2883 * Released nmh-0.15.
2885 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2890 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2892 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2895 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2896 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2897 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2899 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2900 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2902 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2904 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2905 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2907 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2908 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2909 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2910 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2912 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2913 and put in own subroutine.
2915 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2916 and put in own subroutine.
2918 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2919 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2920 refile.c to use new routine.

2924 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2926 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2929 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2930 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2931 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2933 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2936 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2951 selected messages to a sequence.
2953 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2956 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2959 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2961 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2963 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3000 * Released nmh-0.13.
3002 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3003 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3004 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3005 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3008 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3009 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3011 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3014 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3016 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3043 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3044 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3046 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3047 will suppress the display of the message header.
3049 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3051 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3052 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3054 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3056 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3058 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3060 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3061 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3063 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3064 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3066 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3068 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3070 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3071 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3073 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3074 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3076 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3078 * Released nmh-0.10.

3088 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3090 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3091 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3093 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3094 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3096 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3099 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3101 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3131 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3133 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3134 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3136 * Released nmh-0.08.
3138 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3139 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3140 locking database itself.

3144 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3146 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3147 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3150 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3151 rather than mmdf format.
3153 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3154 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3155 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3156 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3158 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3160 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3162 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3165 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3166 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3167 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3169 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3170 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3171 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3173 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3175 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3176 can still easily change this in config.h).
3178 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3179 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3180 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3182 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3184 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3198 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3199 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3201 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3202 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3205 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3206 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3208 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3209 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3211 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3213 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3215 * Added configure check for tzset.

3219 * Released nmh-0.06.
3221 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3222 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3224 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3225 many such machines around anymore.
3227 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3228 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3230 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3231 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3233 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3235 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3236 pre-generated version if necessary.
3238 * Released nmh-0.05.
3240 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3241 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3242 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3243 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3245 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3246 be linked in one pass.
3248 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3251 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3253 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3255 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3257 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3259 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3260 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3261 become the current folder.
3263 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3265 * Released nmh-0.04.
3267 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3270 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3272 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3273 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3274 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3276 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3278 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3279 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3281 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3283 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3284 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3287 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3288 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3290 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3292 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3293 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3294 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3295 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3296 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3297 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3299 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3301 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3302 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3304 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3305 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3307 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3310 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3312 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3314 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3315 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3316 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3318 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3320 * Released nmh-0.03.
3322 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3323 .mh_sequence file existed.
3325 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3326 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3328 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3329 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3332 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3334 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3337 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3340 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3341 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3343 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3345 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3346 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3347 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3349 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3351 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3352 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3354 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3356 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3358 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3359 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3360 directory from where the source code is located.
3362 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3364 * Released nmh-0.02.

3374 and sys_nerr directly.
3376 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3378 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3380 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3382 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3384 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3385 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3386 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3387 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3388 rather than in script.
3390 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3392 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3394 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3395 macro defined on Solaris.
3397 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3399 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3400 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3402 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3403 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3404 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3405 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3408 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3410 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3411 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3413 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3416 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3418 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3420 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3421 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3423 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3425 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3426 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3428 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3430 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3431 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3432 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3433 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3434 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3435 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3437 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3439 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3441 * Released nmh-0.01.
3443 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3444 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3445 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3448 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3450 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3453 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3455 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3456 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3458 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3460 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3461 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3462 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3463 script to find_program.
3465 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3467 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3468 speed up -recurse option.
3470 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3471 yet, but it compiles :-)
3473 * Changed default location for install to
3474 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3475 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3476 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3479 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3480 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3481 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
