1 2010-11-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * man/slocal.man: fix formatting error that meant a
4 subsection heading wasn't displayed as such.
6 2010-11-10 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * configure.in: add a level of expansion for mandir
9 when printing the end-of-configure install path
12 2010-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
14 * man/rmm.man: fix error in synopsis: the option is
15 [no]unlink, not [no]link.
17 2010-08-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
19 * uip/.cvsignore: added "new".
21 2010-02-03 Earl Hood <earl@earlhood.com>
23 * Bug #15213, #18635: The use of the insecure m_scratch() and
24 m_tmpfil() functions have been replaced by m_mktemp()
25 or m_mktemp2() functions (defined in sbr/m_mktemp.c).
26 The new functions use mkstemp() to securely create
27 temporary files to avoid the numerous race conditions
28 that exist with the old functions. This does assume
29 that mkstemp() is available. Unsure if we need to
30 create an alternative implementation if mkstemp() is
31 not available. More information about new temp file
32 functions in m_mktemp.c, including the support for
33 MHTMPDIR, TMPDIR, and TMP envvars.
35 2010-02-02 Earl Hood <earl@earlhood.com>
37 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: added SASL support if mts configuration
38 setting is set to "sendmail". This is useful if sendmail
39 conf option is to a custom script that creates a proxy
40 connection to an smtp server.
42 * sbr/mts.c: added support for MHMTSCONF and MHMTSUSERCONF
43 envvars. The former specifies an alternative system
44 mts.conf to use. The later specifies a user-specific
45 mts.conf to use. This one will be read after the system
46 conf, so the user's conf only needs to set options they
47 want to override. The MHMTSUSERCONF allows a user to set
48 personal alternative mail submission methods w/o affecting
49 other users on the system.
51 * uip/whom.c: added SASL-based options so address checking
52 can work against a server that requires SASL.
54 2009-12-29 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
56 * uip/mhlistsbr.c, uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/picksbr.c: cast
57 pointers to unsigned long before casting to unsigned int
58 to avoid warnings on 64-bit about casting from pointer
59 to int of different size.
61 * uip/new.c: cast folder_len to int to avoid warning on
62 64-bit about passing a size_t to an int conversion specifier.
64 2009-12-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
66 * uip/inc.c: gcc 4.4.1 noticed that maildir could have been
67 used before initialization. In fact, if that code was ever
68 reached, maildir would never have been initialized. It's in
69 an adios call, so replaced with NULL.
71 2009-12-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
73 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: In sm_auth_sasl (), removed zeroing of
74 sasl_inbuffer because it could be used in sm_fget (). Also,
75 removed allocation of sasl_inbuffer because that was done in
76 either smtp_init () or sendmail_init ().
78 2009-01-17 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
80 * etc/mhn.defaults.sh: Never try to make mhshow start xterm.
82 2009-01-16 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
84 * test/runtest, test/tests/inc/test-deb359167,
85 test/tests/inc/test-eom-align, test/tests/manpages/test-manpages:
86 Load common.sh via absolute path, otherwise some /bin/sh
87 (e.g. dash) can't load it.
89 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/new.c, test/tests/new/test-basic: Add new
90 program, and fn/fp/unseen symlinks.
92 * test/{runtest,setup-test}: Move MH profile under Mail directory
93 so each test script will have its own to muck with, if needed.
95 * h/Makefile.in, h/crawl_folders.h, sbr/Makefile.in,
96 sbr/crawl_folders.c, uip/folder.c: Extract the folder crawling
97 code from folder.c into new crawl_folders function, using a
98 callback to assemble the folder info in folder.c. Drop compare
99 function and use strcmp instead. Rename addfold and addir to
100 add_folder and add_children (add dir vs. add folder?
103 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
105 * sbr/m_getfld.c: fix two bugs which could cause us to walk off
106 the beginning of the stdio or prefix-string buffer when checking
107 for presence of the end-of-message delimiter in some situations.
108 This might cause inc to dump core if you were unlucky. (This was
110 * test/tests/inc/{md5sums,msgheader.txt,test-deb359167,
111 test-eom-align,fromline.txt,filler.txt,deb359167.mbox}: new tests
112 both for the specific problem and to try to check various alignments
113 of the eom string with the stdio buffer ending.
114 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
115 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
116 new file. Added some functions for doing progress indicators.
118 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
120 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
121 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
123 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
125 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
126 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
127 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
128 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
131 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
133 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
134 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
135 "is greater than or equal to".
137 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
139 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
140 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
143 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
145 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
146 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
147 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
148 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
150 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
152 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
153 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
156 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
159 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
160 and send output there rather than to stdout.
162 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
163 end up going to stdout.
165 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
167 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
168 waiting until the very end to print anything.
169 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
170 instead of searching the messages first.
172 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
174 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
175 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
177 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
179 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
182 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
184 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
186 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
187 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
190 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
191 'static' from the definitions here.
192 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
194 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
195 support get_ctinfo change).
196 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
197 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
198 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
199 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
200 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
201 suffixes, not prefixes.
202 (openMail): Explain showproc.
204 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
205 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
207 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
208 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
210 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
212 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
214 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
215 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
216 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
217 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
219 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
221 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
224 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
225 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
226 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
228 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
230 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
231 autotools in the right order
232 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
234 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
235 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
236 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
238 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
240 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
241 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
243 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
245 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
246 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
247 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
248 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
249 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
251 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
253 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
256 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
258 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
259 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
260 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
261 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
262 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
263 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
264 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
266 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
268 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
269 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
271 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
272 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
273 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
274 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
275 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
277 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
278 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
279 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
281 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
282 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
283 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
284 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
285 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
286 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
287 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
288 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
289 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
291 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
293 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
296 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
298 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
299 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
300 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
301 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
302 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
303 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
305 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
307 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
309 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
311 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
312 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
315 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
316 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
317 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
319 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
322 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
324 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
325 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
326 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
328 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
329 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
330 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
332 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
334 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
335 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
336 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
337 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
338 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
339 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
340 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
342 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
344 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
345 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
347 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
349 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
350 with multibyte support.
352 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
353 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
354 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
355 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
357 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
359 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
360 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
362 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
363 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
365 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
367 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
368 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
369 the address of a static array.
371 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
373 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
374 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
376 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
378 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
379 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
380 This allows users to masquerade with the default
381 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
382 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
383 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
386 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
388 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
389 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
390 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
391 ruserpass() has a void return type.
393 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
394 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
395 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
396 provide memmove() substitute implementation
398 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
399 source directory' feature
401 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
402 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
404 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
406 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
407 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
408 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
411 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
413 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
414 is the wrong approach.
416 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
417 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
418 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
421 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
422 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
423 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
424 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
425 broken for continued lines from the server.
427 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
429 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
430 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
432 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
434 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
436 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
439 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
441 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
443 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
445 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
446 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
447 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
448 obsolete feature of autoconf
450 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
452 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
453 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
454 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
456 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
458 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
459 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
461 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
463 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
466 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
468 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
469 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
470 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
471 following done() (should never be reached).
473 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
475 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
476 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
478 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
480 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
481 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
483 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
485 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
486 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
487 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
488 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
489 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
490 acconfig.h if you must.
492 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
494 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
495 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
496 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
497 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
499 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
501 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
504 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
506 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
507 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
508 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
509 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
510 have Content-Disposition.
512 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
514 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
517 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
519 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
520 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
522 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
524 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
525 encoded block is empty
527 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
529 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
530 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
531 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
534 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
536 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
537 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
540 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
542 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
543 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
544 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
545 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
548 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
549 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
551 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
553 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
554 function num_digits into utils.c
556 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
558 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
559 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
560 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
562 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
564 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
565 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
566 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
567 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
568 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
569 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
570 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
571 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
573 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
575 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
576 Content-Disposition header.
578 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
580 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
581 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
582 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
583 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
584 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
585 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
586 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
587 users to easily accomodate that by adding
588 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
590 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
592 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
593 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
595 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
597 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
599 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
600 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
602 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
603 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
605 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
607 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
608 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
609 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
610 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
611 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
614 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
616 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
617 widths, restoring right justification feature
619 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
621 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
622 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
623 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
625 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
628 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
630 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
631 handling multi column characters.
633 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
635 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
637 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
639 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
640 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
643 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
645 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
647 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
649 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
652 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
654 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
657 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
659 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
660 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
661 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
662 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
664 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
666 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
667 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
668 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
669 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
670 where configure's autodetection fails.
672 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
674 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
675 configure script change.
677 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
679 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
680 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
681 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
684 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
686 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
687 the context is only read once.
689 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
691 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
692 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
694 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
696 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
697 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
699 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
700 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
703 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
704 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
707 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
709 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
710 vi isn't found during build.
712 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
714 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
715 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
717 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
718 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
719 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
721 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
723 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
724 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
726 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
727 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
728 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
729 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
732 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
733 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
734 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
736 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
737 entry in the context file.
739 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
741 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
742 problems on some systems
744 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
745 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
747 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
749 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
750 sendmail isn't found during build.
752 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
754 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
756 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
758 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
759 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
761 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
762 references to the web page and mailing list locations
764 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
765 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
767 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
770 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
772 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
773 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
774 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
776 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
777 was configured with --enable-apop.
779 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
780 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
781 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
783 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
784 new versions of flex.
786 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
787 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
788 doesn't guess wrongly.
790 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
792 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
793 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
795 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
796 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
798 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
799 files with numbers as names
801 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
803 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
805 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
807 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
809 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
810 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
812 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
814 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
817 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
818 test/report error writing to stdout
820 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
822 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
824 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
825 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
826 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
828 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
829 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
830 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
832 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
834 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
835 character set used by the current locale
837 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
838 message's filename overflows an int when converted
840 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
841 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
843 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
845 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
848 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
850 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
851 from Michael Richardson.
853 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
854 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
856 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
858 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
859 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
861 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
863 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
864 find sub-parts of the specified part
866 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
868 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
869 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
870 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
871 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
872 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
873 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
874 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
877 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
879 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
880 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
881 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
884 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
885 refiling with -src option.
887 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
889 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
891 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
893 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
894 mailpath being overwritten.
896 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
898 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
899 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
900 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
901 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
902 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
903 reinitializes the tmp file string.
905 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
906 if a format string was read from the profile.
908 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
909 path for the external hook.
911 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
913 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
914 another location for ndbm.
916 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
918 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
920 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
922 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
925 136976 - Handle binary content messages
926 143427 - mh-format.man typo
927 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
928 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
929 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
930 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
931 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
932 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
933 181867 - typo for nmh.man
935 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
937 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
938 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
939 contitional code which will result in cached data to
940 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
941 and parse on the first use.
942 * Remove some unused flag bits.
944 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
946 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
947 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
949 #578 - repl leaks umask
950 #1393 - sortm core dumps
951 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
952 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
953 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
955 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
956 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
958 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
960 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
961 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
963 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
965 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
966 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
967 to docs/README.about.
969 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
971 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
973 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
974 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
975 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
976 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
979 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
981 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
982 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
983 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
984 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
985 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
986 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
989 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
990 summary configure prints out.
992 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
993 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
994 subjectively more readable) format.
996 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
998 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
1001 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1003 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
1004 19xx when it's not necessary.
1006 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1008 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
1009 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
1012 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
1013 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
1014 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
1015 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
1016 the man pages correctly.
1018 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
1020 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1022 * Finished manpages ali-prev
1024 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
1025 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
1026 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
1029 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
1030 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
1031 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
1032 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
1034 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1036 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
1037 the formatting rules I've been using.
1041 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1043 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
1044 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
1045 used in the manpages.
1047 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
1048 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
1049 read in the contents of the file as the variable
1052 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
1053 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
1054 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
1055 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
1056 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
1057 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
1058 bold flags and italicized parameters.
1060 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1062 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
1063 --with-locking option.
1065 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
1066 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
1067 information was not being communicated to the
1068 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
1069 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
1070 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
1071 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
1072 undefined symbols problems.
1074 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
1075 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
1076 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
1077 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
1078 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
1079 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
1080 for a genuine krb4 installation.
1082 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1084 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
1085 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1087 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1089 * Made a new ./configure option called
1090 "--with-locking" that allows the file
1091 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
1092 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
1094 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
1095 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
1096 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
1097 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
1098 the user that these are the valid options, and
1099 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
1102 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1104 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
1105 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
1106 committed to supporting flex only, since
1107 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
1108 string, as well as other problems documented
1109 below and on nmh-workers.
1111 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1112 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1113 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1116 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1117 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1119 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1121 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1122 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1123 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1125 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1127 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1128 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1130 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1132 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1133 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1134 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1135 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1136 couldn't correctly identify them.
1138 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1140 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1141 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1142 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1143 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1144 not depending on an external archive.
1146 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1147 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1148 mts/generic is no longer built.
1150 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1152 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1153 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1154 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1155 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1156 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1157 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1158 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1159 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1161 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1163 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1164 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1167 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1169 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1170 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1171 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1174 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1175 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1176 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1177 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1179 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1180 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1181 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1182 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1183 merged into the smtp code).
1185 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1186 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1187 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1190 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1191 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1192 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1193 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1194 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1195 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1196 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1198 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1200 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1201 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1202 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1203 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1204 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1205 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1206 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1207 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1208 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1209 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1210 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1212 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1214 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1215 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1216 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1217 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1218 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1219 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1220 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1221 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1222 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1224 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1226 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1227 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1228 able to access them.
1230 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1232 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1233 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1235 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1237 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1238 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1239 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1240 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1242 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1245 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1246 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1247 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1248 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1250 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1251 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1253 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1255 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1257 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1258 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1259 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1260 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1262 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1263 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1264 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1265 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1267 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1268 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1269 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1270 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1272 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1273 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1274 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1276 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1278 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1279 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1280 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1281 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1282 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1283 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1286 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1287 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1289 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1290 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1292 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1294 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1296 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1298 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1299 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1300 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1301 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1303 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1305 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1306 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1308 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1310 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1312 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1313 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1316 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1318 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1319 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1320 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1321 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1323 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1325 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1326 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1327 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1328 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1329 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1331 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1333 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1334 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1336 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1337 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1339 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1341 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1343 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1344 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1345 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1347 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1349 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1352 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1353 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1355 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1357 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1358 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1360 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1362 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1363 inc does not need to be setgid.
1365 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1367 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1368 library, as found on Debian systems.
1370 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1372 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1374 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1375 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1376 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1377 case-insensitivity flag.
1379 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1381 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1382 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1384 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1386 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1387 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1388 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1389 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1390 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1391 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1392 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1393 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1394 getting moved aside).
1396 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1397 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1399 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1401 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1402 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1403 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1404 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1405 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1406 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1407 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1408 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1409 the prototype, but never sets it.
1411 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1412 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1413 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1414 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1415 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1416 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1418 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1419 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1420 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1421 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1422 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1424 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1426 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1427 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1430 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1431 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1432 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1433 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1434 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1435 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1436 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1438 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1440 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1442 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1443 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1444 this works on other systems.
1446 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1448 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1449 checks for write failures.
1451 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1453 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1455 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1458 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1460 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1462 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1464 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1465 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1468 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1470 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1471 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1472 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1473 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1475 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1477 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1478 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1481 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1482 as well as Makefiles.
1484 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1486 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1487 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1488 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1489 should make maintainability easier.
1491 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1492 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1493 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1494 whatever you know works.
1496 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1498 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1499 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1500 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1502 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1503 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1504 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1505 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1507 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1508 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1509 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1511 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1512 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1513 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1514 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1515 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1517 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1518 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1519 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1520 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1521 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1522 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1523 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1524 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1525 from the BSD version.
1527 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1528 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1529 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1531 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1532 in ruserpass.c also.
1534 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1537 This happens on solaris:
1540 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1541 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1545 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1547 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1548 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1550 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1553 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1554 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1555 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1556 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1557 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1558 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1559 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1560 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1561 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1562 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1564 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1565 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1566 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1567 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1568 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1569 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1572 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1573 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1574 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1575 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1576 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1578 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1579 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1581 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1583 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1584 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1585 to stdin, such as exmh.
1587 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1588 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1589 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1592 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1594 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1595 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1596 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1597 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1598 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1599 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1600 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1602 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1604 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1605 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1607 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1609 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1610 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1612 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1614 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1617 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1618 along with any -host or -user option.
1620 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1622 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1624 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1625 process was fresh in my mind.
1627 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1629 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1630 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1632 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1634 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1636 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1639 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1640 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1641 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1642 part of the program's name.
1644 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1645 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1648 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1650 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1651 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1652 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1653 single-character format would cause programs using this
1654 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1655 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1656 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1657 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1660 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1662 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1663 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1664 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1665 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1666 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1667 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1669 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1670 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1671 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1672 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1673 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1674 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1675 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1676 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1678 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1679 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1680 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1681 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1682 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1683 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1684 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1685 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1686 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1687 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1689 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1691 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1692 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1694 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1695 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1697 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1702 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1704 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1705 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1706 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1707 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1709 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1710 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1711 problem in the routine.
1713 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1715 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1716 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1718 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1719 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1720 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1723 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1725 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1726 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1727 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1728 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1729 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1730 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1731 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1732 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1733 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1734 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1736 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1738 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1739 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1740 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1741 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1742 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1743 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1744 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1745 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1746 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1747 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1748 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1749 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1751 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1752 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1753 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1754 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1755 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1757 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1760 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1762 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1763 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1764 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1765 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1768 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1770 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1772 * Applied, after some finessing,
1773 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1775 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1777 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1779 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1780 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1781 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1782 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1784 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1786 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1787 forgetting to do so!).
1789 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1790 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1791 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1792 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1793 arguments to enable all three types.
1795 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1796 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1798 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1799 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1800 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1801 updated copy of mts.conf.
1803 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1805 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1806 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1807 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1809 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1811 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1813 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1814 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1815 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1817 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1818 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1819 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1821 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1822 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1823 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1825 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1827 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1829 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1831 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1833 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1834 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1836 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1837 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1838 certain suffix to run properly.
1840 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1841 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1842 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1844 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1845 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1846 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1847 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1848 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1849 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1850 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1852 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1854 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1855 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1856 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1857 until some year far in the future).
1859 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1861 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1863 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1864 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1866 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1867 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1870 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1872 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1873 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1874 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1875 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1876 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1877 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1879 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1881 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1883 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1884 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1885 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1887 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1888 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1889 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1890 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1891 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1892 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1895 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1896 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1897 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1898 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1899 of masquerading individually.
1901 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1902 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1903 GECOS field delimiters.
1905 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1907 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1908 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1909 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1910 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1911 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1912 and explaining the feature.
1914 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1916 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1917 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1920 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1921 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1922 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1924 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1925 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1926 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1927 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1929 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1930 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1931 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1934 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1936 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1937 code to be executed.
1939 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1941 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1943 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1944 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1945 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1946 quotes embedded in them.
1948 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1950 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1951 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1952 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1953 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1954 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1955 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1956 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1959 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1960 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1961 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1962 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1963 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1965 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1967 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1969 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1970 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1971 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1972 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1974 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1977 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1979 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1981 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1983 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1984 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1985 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1987 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1990 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1992 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1993 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1994 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1995 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1996 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1997 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1999 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
2000 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
2002 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2004 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
2007 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2009 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
2010 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
2011 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
2014 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
2015 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
2016 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
2017 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
2018 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
2019 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
2020 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
2021 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
2022 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
2023 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
2024 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
2025 processing that post has).
2027 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2029 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
2030 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
2031 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
2032 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
2033 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
2034 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
2037 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2039 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
2041 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
2043 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
2045 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
2046 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
2048 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
2051 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2053 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
2054 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
2055 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
2058 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2060 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
2061 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
2062 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
2063 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
2064 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
2065 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
2067 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2069 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
2071 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2073 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
2074 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
2075 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
2076 caught again. This works for now.
2078 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
2080 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2082 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
2083 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
2085 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2087 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
2088 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
2090 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
2092 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
2094 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2096 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
2097 changes. Both need more cleanup.
2099 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2101 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
2102 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
2103 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
2104 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
2105 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
2108 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2110 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2111 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2112 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2114 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2115 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2118 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2120 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2121 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2122 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2124 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2126 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2127 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2129 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2131 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2134 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2135 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2137 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2138 macros, regardless of platform.
2140 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2141 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2143 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2144 with x-conversions=gzip.
2146 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2148 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2151 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2152 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2153 implicit definition of ioctl().
2155 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2156 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2157 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2158 want to mess with them.
2160 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2162 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2163 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2165 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2166 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2168 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2169 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2170 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2172 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2173 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2174 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2176 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2177 function initgroups.
2179 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2182 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2183 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2186 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2187 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2190 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2191 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2195 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2197 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2198 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2199 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2201 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2202 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2204 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2206 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2208 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2209 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2210 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2211 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2213 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2214 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2216 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2218 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2220 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2222 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2223 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2225 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2227 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2228 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2230 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2231 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2232 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2233 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2235 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2236 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2238 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2240 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2241 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2243 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2245 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2246 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2249 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2251 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2253 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2255 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2256 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2258 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2259 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2260 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2262 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2263 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2264 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2266 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2267 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2268 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2270 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2271 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2274 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2275 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2277 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2278 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2280 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2281 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2283 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2284 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2285 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2287 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2288 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2290 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2291 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2292 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2294 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2295 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2298 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2299 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2301 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2302 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2303 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2304 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2306 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2307 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2309 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2313 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2314 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2315 would not be changed.
2317 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2318 one from the Apache web server.
2320 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2321 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2323 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2324 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2325 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2327 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2329 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2331 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2332 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2335 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2336 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2337 removes a bad race condition.
2339 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2342 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2343 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2344 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2346 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2347 sequence information.
2349 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2350 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2352 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2355 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2358 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2360 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2361 interpret 034 as octal.
2363 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2365 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2366 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2368 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2369 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2371 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2372 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2374 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2375 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2377 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2378 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2380 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2381 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2382 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2384 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2385 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2386 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2388 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2390 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2392 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2393 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2396 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2398 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2399 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2401 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2402 header field information.
2404 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2405 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2407 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2408 values when parsing a content.
2410 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2411 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2413 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2414 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2416 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2417 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2419 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2420 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2422 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2424 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2426 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2428 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2430 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2431 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2434 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2435 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2437 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2438 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2439 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2440 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2441 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2442 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2445 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2447 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2448 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2449 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2451 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2452 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2454 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2456 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2457 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2458 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2459 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2461 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2462 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2465 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2466 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2467 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2468 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2471 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473 * Released nmh-0.27.
2475 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2476 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2478 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2479 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2480 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2481 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2484 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2485 mhbuild returns an error.
2487 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2488 rename the draft file.
2490 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2491 use a global variable.
2493 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2494 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2496 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2497 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2499 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2500 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2501 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2503 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2504 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2506 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2507 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2510 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2511 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2514 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2515 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2517 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2518 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2519 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2521 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2522 to new function output_content_folder.
2524 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2525 new function output_content_file.
2527 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2528 to new function parse_format_string.
2530 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2531 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2532 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2533 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2535 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2536 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2537 message/external file from ftp.
2539 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2540 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2541 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2543 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2544 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2547 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2550 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2551 new file mhstoresbr.c
2553 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2556 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2557 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2559 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2560 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2562 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2563 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2564 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2566 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2568 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2570 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2571 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2574 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2575 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2577 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2580 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2582 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2584 * Released nmh-0.26.
2586 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2587 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2588 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2589 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2591 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2592 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2593 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2594 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2595 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2597 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2598 But it is not on by default.
2600 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2601 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2603 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2605 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2607 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2609 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2611 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2612 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2614 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2616 * Released nmh-0.25.
2618 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2619 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2620 uses the original name of the library.
2622 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2623 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2626 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2627 list_content and list_debug.
2629 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2631 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2632 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2634 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636 * Released nmh-0.24.
2638 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2640 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2641 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2643 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2644 large sequence line.
2646 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648 * Released nmh-0.23.
2650 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2652 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2653 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2654 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2655 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2657 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2658 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2661 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2663 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2665 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2667 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2668 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2670 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2671 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2673 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2674 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2676 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2677 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2679 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * Released nmh-0.22.
2683 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2684 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2686 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2688 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2689 mh-profile(5) man page.
2691 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2692 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2694 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2698 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2699 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2701 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2703 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2704 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2705 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2707 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2708 source message on the standard input.
2710 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2712 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2713 rather than -rfc934mode.
2715 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2716 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2719 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2720 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2722 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2725 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Released nmh-0.21.
2729 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2730 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2732 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2735 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2736 to use for text contents.
2738 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2740 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2744 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2746 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2747 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2749 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2750 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2751 spaces between encoded word are.
2753 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2755 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2756 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2758 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2759 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2760 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2762 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2764 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2765 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2767 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2769 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.

2772 ISO-8859-X character set.
2774 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2777 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2778 permissions, not write permissions.
2780 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2781 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2783 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2786 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2790 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2791 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2793 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2794 message contains valid character set.
2796 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2797 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2799 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2800 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2802 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2803 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2804 between an encoded word and normal text.
2806 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2807 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2809 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2810 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2812 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2815 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2816 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2819 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2820 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2822 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2823 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2825 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2827 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2829 * Released nmh-0.20.
2831 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2833 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2835 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2836 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2837 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2839 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2840 and the To: line was missing.
2842 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2844 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2846 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2848 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2849 watch the POP transaction.
2851 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2852 first, and use it if available.
2854 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2855 first, and use it if available.
2857 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2861 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2862 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2863 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2866 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2867 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2868 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2870 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2871 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2874 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2876 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2877 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2879 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2881 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2882 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2884 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2885 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2886 message to which you are replying.
2888 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2889 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2890 making group replies.
2892 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2894 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2896 * Released nmh-0.19.
2898 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2899 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2901 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2902 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2903 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2904 to the end of the man page.
2906 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2907 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2908 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2909 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2910 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2911 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2913 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2916 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2917 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2918 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2920 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2921 the next available number above the message number you wish
2924 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2925 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2927 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2928 file sbr/seq_print.c
2930 * flist will now update the current folder.
2932 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2933 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2934 but now undocumented.
2936 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2939 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2940 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2942 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2944 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2945 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2947 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * Released nmh-0.18.
2951 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2952 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2953 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2955 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2956 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2958 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2959 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2960 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2961 previous public/private status.
2963 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2966 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2969 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2970 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2971 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2973 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2974 take option to determine whether it should get current
2975 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2976 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2978 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2980 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2981 wait for stopped processes.
2983 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2984 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2986 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2990 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2991 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2993 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2994 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2996 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2997 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2998 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2999 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
3001 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
3004 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
3007 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
3009 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
3010 the debugging output.
3012 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
3013 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
3015 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3017 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
3019 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
3020 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
3022 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
3024 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
3025 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
3026 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
3027 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
3028 in the given sequence.
3030 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
3031 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
3032 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
3033 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
3034 subdirectories of a given directory.
3036 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
3037 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
3038 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
3040 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
3041 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
3043 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
3045 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
3048 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
3049 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
3050 fields are now calculated at runtime.
3052 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
3053 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
3054 are calculated at runtime.
3056 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
3060 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
3061 about checking for global mh.profile.
3063 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
3064 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
3065 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
3066 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
3067 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
3068 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
3070 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
3071 adding message to folder itself.
3073 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
3074 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
3075 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
3078 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
3079 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
3082 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
3083 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
3084 is the same as the direct smtp code).
3086 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
3087 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
3089 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
3090 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
3091 code to use it yet).
3093 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3095 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
3097 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
3098 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
3100 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
3101 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
3103 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
3105 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
3108 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3110 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3112 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3114 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3116 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3117 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3119 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3121 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3123 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3125 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3127 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3129 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3130 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3132 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3133 configuration files.
3135 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
3137 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3139 * Released nmh-0.17.
3141 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3143 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3144 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3146 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3149 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3150 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3152 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3153 number of refiled message.
3155 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3157 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3158 for return value of wait().
3160 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3162 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3164 * Released nmh-0.16.
3166 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3170 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3171 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3172 deal with binary messages, yet).
3174 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3176 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3178 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3179 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3180 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3181 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3182 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3183 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3185 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3186 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3188 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3189 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3191 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3192 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3195 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3197 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3199 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3200 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3203 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3206 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3208 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3209 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3210 which used unsigned chars by default.
3212 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3214 * Released nmh-0.15.
3216 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

3221 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3223 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3226 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3227 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3228 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3230 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3231 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3233 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3235 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3236 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3238 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3239 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3240 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3241 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3243 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3244 and put in own subroutine.
3246 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3247 and put in own subroutine.
3249 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3250 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3251 refile.c to use new routine.
3253 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3255 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3257 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3260 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3261 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3262 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3264 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3267 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3268 adding message to sequence.
3270 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3271 corresponding file in sbr.
3273 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3276 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3278 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3279 all selected messages from a sequence.
3281 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3282 selected messages to a sequence.
3284 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3287 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3289 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3290 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3292 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3294 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
3295 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
3297 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
3300 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

3304 * Released nmh-0.14.
3306 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3307 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3309 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3311 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3312 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3313 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3314 environment variable.
3316 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3317 draft folder facility in nmh.
3319 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3322 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3326 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
3329 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3331 * Released nmh-0.13.
3333 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3334 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3335 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3336 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3339 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3340 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3342 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3344 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3345 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3347 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3349 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3378 will suppress the display of the message header.
3380 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3382 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

3387 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3389 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

3394 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3395 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3397 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3399 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3401 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3402 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3404 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3405 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3407 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3409 * Released nmh-0.10.

3419 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3421 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3422 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3424 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3429 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3430 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3432 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3434 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3435 of missing tabs in regex.

3464 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3465 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3467 * Released nmh-0.08.
3469 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3470 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3471 locking database itself.
3473 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3475 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3477 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3478 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3481 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3482 rather than mmdf format.
3484 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3485 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3486 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3487 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3489 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3491 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3493 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3496 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3497 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3498 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3500 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3501 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3502 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3504 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3506 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3507 can still easily change this in config.h).
3509 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3510 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3511 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3513 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3515 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3529 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3530 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3532 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3533 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3536 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3537 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3550 * Released nmh-0.06.
3552 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3553 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3555 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3556 many such machines around anymore.
3558 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3559 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3561 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3562 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3564 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3566 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3567 pre-generated version if necessary.
3569 * Released nmh-0.05.
3571 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3572 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3573 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3574 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3576 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3577 be linked in one pass.
3579 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3581 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3582 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3584 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3586 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3588 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3590 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3591 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3592 become the current folder.
3594 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3596 * Released nmh-0.04.
3598 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3601 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3603 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3604 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3605 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3607 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3609 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3610 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3612 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3614 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3615 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3618 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3619 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3621 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3623 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3624 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3625 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3626 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3627 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3628 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3630 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3632 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3633 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3635 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3636 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3638 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3640 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3641 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3643 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3645 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3646 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3647 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3649 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3651 * Released nmh-0.03.
3653 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3654 .mh_sequence file existed.
3656 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3657 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3659 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3660 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3663 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3665 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3668 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3670 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3671 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3672 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3674 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3676 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3677 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3678 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3680 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3682 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3683 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3685 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3687 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3689 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3690 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3691 directory from where the source code is located.
3693 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3695 * Released nmh-0.02.
3697 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3702 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3704 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3705 and sys_nerr directly.

3709 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3711 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3713 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3715 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3716 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3717 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3718 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3719 rather than in script.
3721 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3723 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3725 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3726 macro defined on Solaris.
3728 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3730 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3731 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3733 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3734 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3735 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3736 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3739 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3741 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3742 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3744 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3747 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3749 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3751 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3752 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3754 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3756 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3757 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3759 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3761 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3762 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3763 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3764 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3765 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3766 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3768 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3770 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3772 * Released nmh-0.01.
3774 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3775 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3776 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3779 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3781 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3784 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3786 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3787 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3789 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3791 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3792 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3793 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3794 script to find_program.
3796 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3798 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3799 speed up -recurse option.
3801 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3802 yet, but it compiles :-)
3804 * Changed default location for install to
3805 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3806 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3807 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3810 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3811 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3812 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
