1 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
4 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
6 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
8 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
9 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
10 This allows users to masquerade with the default
11 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
12 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
13 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
16 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
18 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
19 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
20 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
21 ruserpass() has a void return type.
23 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
24 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
25 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
26 provide memmove() substitute implementation
28 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
29 source directory' feature
31 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
32 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
34 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
36 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
37 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
38 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
41 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
43 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
44 is the wrong approach.
46 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
47 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
48 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
51 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
52 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
53 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
54 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
55 broken for continued lines from the server.
57 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
59 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
60 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
62 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
64 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
66 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
69 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
71 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
73 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
75 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
76 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
77 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
78 obsolete feature of autoconf
80 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
82 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
83 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
84 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
86 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
88 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
89 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
91 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
93 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
96 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
98 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
99 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
100 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
101 following done() (should never be reached).
103 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
105 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
106 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
108 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
110 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
111 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
113 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
115 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
116 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
117 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
118 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
119 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
120 acconfig.h if you must.
122 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
124 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
125 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
126 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
127 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
129 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
131 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
134 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
136 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
137 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
138 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
139 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
140 have Content-Disposition.
142 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
144 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
147 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
149 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
150 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
152 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
154 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
155 encoded block is empty
157 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
159 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
160 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
161 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
164 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
166 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
167 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
170 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
172 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
173 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
174 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
175 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
178 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
179 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
181 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
183 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
184 function num_digits into utils.c
186 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
188 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
189 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
190 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
192 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
194 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
195 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
196 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
197 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
198 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
199 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
200 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
201 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
203 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
205 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
206 Content-Disposition header.
208 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
210 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
211 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
212 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
213 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
214 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
215 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
216 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
217 users to easily accomodate that by adding
218 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
220 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
222 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
223 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
225 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
227 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
229 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
230 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
232 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
233 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
235 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
237 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
238 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
239 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
240 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
241 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
244 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
246 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
247 widths, restoring right justification feature
249 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
251 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
252 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
253 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
255 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
258 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
260 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
261 handling multi column characters.
263 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
265 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
267 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
269 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
270 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
273 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
275 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
277 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
279 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
282 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
284 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
287 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
289 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
290 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
291 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
292 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
294 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
296 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
297 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
298 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
299 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
300 where configure's autodetection fails.
302 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
304 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
305 configure script change.
307 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
309 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
310 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
311 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
314 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
316 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
317 the context is only read once.
319 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
321 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
322 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
324 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
326 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
327 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
329 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
330 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
333 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
334 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
337 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
339 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
340 vi isn't found during build.
342 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
344 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
345 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
347 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
348 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
349 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
351 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
353 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
354 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
356 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
357 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
358 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
359 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
362 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
363 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
364 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
366 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
367 entry in the context file.
369 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
371 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
372 problems on some systems
374 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
375 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
377 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
379 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
380 sendmail isn't found during build.
382 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
384 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
386 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
388 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
389 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
391 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
392 references to the web page and mailing list locations
394 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
395 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
397 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
400 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
402 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
403 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
404 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
406 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
407 was configured with --enable-apop.
409 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
410 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
411 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
413 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
414 new versions of flex.
416 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
417 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
418 doesn't guess wrongly.
420 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
422 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
423 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
425 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
426 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
428 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
429 files with numbers as names
431 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
433 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
435 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
437 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
439 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
440 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
442 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
444 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
447 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
448 test/report error writing to stdout
450 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
452 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
454 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
455 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
456 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
458 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
459 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
460 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
462 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
464 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
465 character set used by the current locale
467 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
468 message's filename overflows an int when converted
470 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
471 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
473 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
475 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
478 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
480 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
481 from Michael Richardson.
483 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
484 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
486 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
488 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
489 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
491 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
493 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
494 find sub-parts of the specified part
496 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
498 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
499 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
500 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
501 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
502 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
503 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
504 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
507 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
509 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
510 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
511 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
514 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
515 refiling with -src option.
517 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
519 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
521 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
523 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
524 mailpath being overwritten.
526 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
528 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
529 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
530 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
531 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
532 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
533 reinitializes the tmp file string.
535 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
536 if a format string was read from the profile.
538 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
539 path for the external hook.
541 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
543 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
544 another location for ndbm.
546 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
548 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
550 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
552 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
555 136976 - Handle binary content messages
556 143427 - mh-format.man typo
557 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'

567 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
568 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
569 contitional code which will result in cached data to
570 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
571 and parse on the first use.
572 * Remove some unused flag bits.
574 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
576 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
577 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
579 #578 - repl leaks umask
580 #1393 - sortm core dumps
581 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
582 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
583 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
585 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
586 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
588 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
590 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
591 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
593 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
595 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
596 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
597 to docs/README.about.
599 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
601 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
603 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
604 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
605 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
606 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
609 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
611 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
612 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
613 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
614 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
615 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
616 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
619 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
620 summary configure prints out.
622 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
623 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
624 subjectively more readable) format.
626 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
628 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
631 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
633 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
634 19xx when it's not necessary.
636 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
638 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
639 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
642 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
643 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
644 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
645 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
646 the man pages correctly.
648 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
650 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
652 * Finished manpages ali-prev
654 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
655 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
656 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
659 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
660 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
661 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
662 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
664 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
666 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
667 the formatting rules I've been using.
671 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
673 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
674 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
675 used in the manpages.
677 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
678 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
679 read in the contents of the file as the variable
682 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
683 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
684 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
685 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
686 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
687 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
688 bold flags and italicized parameters.
690 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
692 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
693 --with-locking option.
695 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
696 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
697 information was not being communicated to the
698 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
699 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
700 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
701 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
702 undefined symbols problems.
704 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
705 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
706 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
707 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
708 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
709 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
710 for a genuine krb4 installation.
712 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
714 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
715 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
717 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
719 * Made a new ./configure option called
720 "--with-locking" that allows the file
721 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
722 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
724 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
725 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
726 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
727 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
728 the user that these are the valid options, and
729 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
732 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
734 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
735 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
736 committed to supporting flex only, since
737 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
738 string, as well as other problems documented
739 below and on nmh-workers.
741 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
742 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
743 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
746 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
747 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
749 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
751 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
752 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
753 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
755 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
757 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
758 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
760 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
762 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
763 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
764 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
765 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
766 couldn't correctly identify them.
768 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
770 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
771 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
772 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
773 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
774 not depending on an external archive.
776 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
777 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
778 mts/generic is no longer built.
780 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
782 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
783 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
784 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
785 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
786 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
787 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
788 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
789 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
791 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
793 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
794 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
797 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
799 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
800 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
801 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
804 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
805 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
806 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
807 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
809 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
810 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
811 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
812 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
813 merged into the smtp code).
815 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
816 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
817 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
820 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
821 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
822 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
823 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
824 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
825 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
826 in the appropriate Makefile.in
828 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
830 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
831 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
832 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
833 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
834 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
835 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
836 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
837 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
838 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
839 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
840 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
842 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
844 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
845 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
846 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
847 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
848 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
849 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
850 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
851 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
852 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
854 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
856 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
857 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
860 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
862 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
863 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
865 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
867 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
868 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
869 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
870 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
872 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
875 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
876 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
877 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
878 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
880 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
881 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
883 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
885 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
887 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
888 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
889 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
890 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
892 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
893 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
894 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
895 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
897 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
898 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
899 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
900 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
902 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
903 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
904 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
906 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
908 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
909 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
910 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
911 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
912 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
913 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
916 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
917 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
919 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
920 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
922 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
924 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
926 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
928 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
929 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
930 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
931 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
933 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
935 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
936 be easily changed from "," to "#".
938 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
940 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
942 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
943 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
946 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
949 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
950 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
951 but not for the subsequent data stream.
953 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
955 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
956 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
957 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
958 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
959 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
961 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
963 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
964 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
966 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
967 cat, also define lorder as echo.
969 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
971 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
974 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
975 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
977 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
979 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
982 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
983 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
985 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
987 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
988 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
990 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
992 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
993 inc does not need to be setgid.
995 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
997 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
998 library, as found on Debian systems.
1000 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1002 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1004 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1005 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1006 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1007 case-insensitivity flag.
1009 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1011 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1012 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1014 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1016 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1017 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1018 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1019 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1020 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1021 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1022 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1023 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1024 getting moved aside).
1026 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1027 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1029 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1031 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1032 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1033 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1034 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1035 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1036 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1037 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1038 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1039 the prototype, but never sets it.
1041 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1042 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1043 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1044 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1045 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1046 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1048 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1049 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1050 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1051 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1052 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1054 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1056 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1057 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1060 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1061 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1062 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1063 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1064 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1065 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1066 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1068 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1070 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1072 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1073 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1074 this works on other systems.
1076 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1078 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1079 checks for write failures.
1081 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1083 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1085 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1088 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1090 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1092 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1094 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1095 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1098 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1100 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1101 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1102 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1103 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1105 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1107 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1108 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1111 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1112 as well as Makefiles.
1114 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1116 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1117 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1118 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1119 should make maintainability easier.
1121 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1122 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1123 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1124 whatever you know works.
1126 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1128 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1129 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1130 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1132 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1133 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1134 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1135 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1137 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1138 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1139 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1141 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1142 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1143 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1144 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1145 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1147 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1148 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1149 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1150 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1151 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1152 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1153 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1154 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1155 from the BSD version.
1157 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1158 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1159 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1161 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1162 in ruserpass.c also.
1164 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1167 This happens on solaris:
1170 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1171 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1175 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1177 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1178 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1180 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1182 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1183 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1184 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1185 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1186 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1187 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1188 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1189 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1190 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1191 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1192 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1194 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1195 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1196 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1197 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1198 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1199 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1202 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1203 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1204 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1205 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1206 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1208 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1209 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1211 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1213 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1214 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1215 to stdin, such as exmh.
1217 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1218 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1219 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1222 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1224 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1225 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1226 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1227 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1228 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1229 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1230 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1232 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1234 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1235 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1237 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1239 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1240 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1242 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1244 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1247 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1248 along with any -host or -user option.
1250 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1252 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1254 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1255 process was fresh in my mind.
1257 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1259 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1260 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1262 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1264 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1266 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1269 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1270 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1271 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1272 part of the program's name.
1274 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1275 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1278 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1280 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1281 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1282 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1283 single-character format would cause programs using this
1284 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1285 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1286 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1287 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1290 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1292 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1293 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1294 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1295 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1296 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1297 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1299 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1300 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1301 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1302 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1303 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1304 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1305 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1306 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1308 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1309 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1310 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1311 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1312 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1313 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1314 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1315 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1316 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1317 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1319 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1322 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1324 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1325 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1327 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1332 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1334 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1335 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1336 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1337 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1339 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1340 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1341 problem in the routine.
1343 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1345 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1346 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1348 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1349 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1350 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1353 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1355 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1356 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1357 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1358 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1359 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1360 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1361 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1362 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1363 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1364 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1366 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1368 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1369 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1370 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1371 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1372 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1373 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1374 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1375 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1376 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1377 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1378 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1379 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1381 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1382 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1383 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1384 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1385 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1387 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1390 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1392 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1393 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1394 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1395 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1398 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1400 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1402 * Applied, after some finessing,
1403 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1405 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1407 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1409 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1410 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1411 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1412 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1414 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1416 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1417 forgetting to do so!).
1419 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1420 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1421 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1422 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1423 arguments to enable all three types.
1425 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1426 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1428 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1429 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1430 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1431 updated copy of mts.conf.
1433 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1435 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1436 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1437 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1439 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1441 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1443 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1444 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1445 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1447 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1448 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1449 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1451 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1452 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1453 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1455 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1457 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1459 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1461 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1463 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1464 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1466 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1467 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1468 certain suffix to run properly.
1470 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1471 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1472 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1474 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1475 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1476 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1477 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1478 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1479 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1480 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1482 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1484 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1485 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1486 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1487 until some year far in the future).
1489 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1491 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1493 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1494 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1496 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1497 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1500 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1502 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1503 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1504 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1505 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1506 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1507 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1509 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1511 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1513 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1514 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1515 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1517 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1518 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1519 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1520 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1521 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1522 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1525 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1526 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1527 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1528 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1529 of masquerading individually.
1531 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1532 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1533 GECOS field delimiters.
1535 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1537 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1538 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1539 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1540 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1541 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1542 and explaining the feature.
1544 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1546 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1547 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1550 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1551 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1552 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1554 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1555 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1556 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1557 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1559 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1560 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1561 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1564 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1566 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1567 code to be executed.
1569 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1571 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1573 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1574 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1575 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1576 quotes embedded in them.
1578 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1580 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1581 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1582 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1583 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1584 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1585 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1586 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1589 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1590 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1591 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1592 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1593 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1595 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1597 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1599 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1600 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1601 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1602 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1604 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1607 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1609 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1611 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1613 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1614 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1615 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1617 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1620 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1622 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1623 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1624 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1625 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1626 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1627 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1629 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1630 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1632 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1634 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1637 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1639 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1640 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1641 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1644 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1645 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1646 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1647 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1648 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1649 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1650 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1651 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1652 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1653 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1654 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1655 processing that post has).
1657 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1659 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1660 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1661 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1662 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1663 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1664 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1667 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1669 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1671 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1673 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1675 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1676 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1678 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1681 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1683 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1684 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1685 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1688 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1690 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1691 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1692 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1693 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1694 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1695 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1697 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1699 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1701 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1703 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1704 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1705 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1706 caught again. This works for now.
1708 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1710 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1712 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1713 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1715 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1717 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1718 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1720 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1722 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1724 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1726 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1727 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1729 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1731 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1732 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1733 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1734 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1735 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1738 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1740 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1741 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1742 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1744 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1745 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1748 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1750 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1751 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1752 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1754 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1756 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1757 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1759 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1761 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1764 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1765 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1767 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1768 macros, regardless of platform.
1770 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1771 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1773 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1774 with x-conversions=gzip.
1776 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1778 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1781 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1782 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1783 implicit definition of ioctl().
1785 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1786 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1787 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1788 want to mess with them.
1790 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1792 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1793 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1795 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1796 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1798 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1799 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1800 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1802 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1803 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1804 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1806 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1807 function initgroups.
1809 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1812 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1813 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1816 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1817 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1820 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1821 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1825 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1827 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1828 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1829 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1831 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1832 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1834 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1836 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1838 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1839 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1840 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1841 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1843 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1844 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1846 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1848 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1850 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1852 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1853 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1855 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1857 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1858 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1860 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1861 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1862 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1863 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1865 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1866 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1868 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1870 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1871 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1873 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1875 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1876 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1879 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1881 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1883 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1885 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1886 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1888 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1889 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1890 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1892 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1893 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1894 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1896 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1897 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1898 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1900 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1901 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1904 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1905 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1907 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1908 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1910 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1911 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1913 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1914 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1915 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1917 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1918 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1920 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1921 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1922 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1924 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1925 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1928 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1929 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1931 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1932 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1933 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1934 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1936 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1937 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1939 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1943 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1944 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1945 would not be changed.
1947 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1948 one from the Apache web server.
1950 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1951 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1953 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1954 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1955 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1957 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1959 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1961 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1962 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1965 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1966 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1967 removes a bad race condition.
1969 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1972 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1973 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1974 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1976 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1977 sequence information.
1979 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1980 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1982 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1985 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1988 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1990 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1991 interpret 034 as octal.
1993 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1995 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1996 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1998 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1999 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2001 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2002 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2004 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2005 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2007 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2008 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2010 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2011 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2012 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2014 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2015 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2016 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2018 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2020 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2022 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2023 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2026 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2028 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2029 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2031 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2032 header field information.
2034 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2035 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2037 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2038 values when parsing a content.
2040 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2041 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2043 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2044 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2046 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2047 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2049 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2050 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2052 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2054 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2056 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2058 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2060 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2061 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2064 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2065 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2067 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2068 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2069 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2070 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2071 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2072 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2075 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2077 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2078 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2079 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2081 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2082 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2084 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2086 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2087 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2088 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2089 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2091 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2092 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2095 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2096 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2097 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2098 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2101 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2103 * Released nmh-0.27.
2105 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2106 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2108 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2109 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2110 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2111 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2114 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2115 mhbuild returns an error.
2117 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2118 rename the draft file.
2120 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2121 use a global variable.
2123 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2124 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2126 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2127 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2129 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2130 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2131 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2133 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2134 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2136 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2137 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2140 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2141 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2144 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2145 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2147 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2148 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2149 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2151 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2152 to new function output_content_folder.
2154 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2155 new function output_content_file.
2157 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2158 to new function parse_format_string.
2160 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2161 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2162 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2163 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2165 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2166 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2167 message/external file from ftp.
2169 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2170 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2171 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2173 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2174 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2177 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2180 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2181 new file mhstoresbr.c
2183 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2186 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2187 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2189 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2190 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2192 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2193 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2194 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2196 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2198 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2200 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2201 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2204 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2205 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2207 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2210 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2212 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2214 * Released nmh-0.26.
2216 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2217 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2218 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2219 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2221 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2222 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2223 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2224 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2225 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2227 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2228 But it is not on by default.
2230 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2231 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2233 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2235 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2237 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2239 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2241 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2242 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2244 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2246 * Released nmh-0.25.
2248 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2249 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2250 uses the original name of the library.
2252 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2253 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2256 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2257 list_content and list_debug.
2259 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2261 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2262 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2264 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2266 * Released nmh-0.24.
2268 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2270 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2271 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2273 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2274 large sequence line.
2276 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2278 * Released nmh-0.23.
2280 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2282 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2283 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2284 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2285 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2287 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2288 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2291 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2293 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2295 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2297 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2298 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2300 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2301 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2303 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2304 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2306 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2307 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2309 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.22.
2313 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2314 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2316 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2318 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2319 mh-profile(5) man page.
2321 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2322 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2324 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2326 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2328 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2329 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2331 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2333 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2334 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2335 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2337 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2338 source message on the standard input.
2340 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2342 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2343 rather than -rfc934mode.
2345 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2346 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2349 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2350 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2352 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2355 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * Released nmh-0.21.
2359 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2360 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2362 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2365 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2366 to use for text contents.
2368 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2370 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2372 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2374 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2376 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2377 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2379 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2380 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2381 spaces between encoded word are.
2383 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2385 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2386 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2388 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2389 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2390 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2392 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2394 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2395 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2397 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2399 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2401 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2402 ISO-8859-X character set.
2404 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2407 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2408 permissions, not write permissions.
2410 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2411 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2413 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2416 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2418 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2420 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2421 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2423 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2424 message contains valid character set.
2426 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2427 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2429 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2430 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2432 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2433 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2434 between an encoded word and normal text.
2436 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2437 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2439 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2440 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2442 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2445 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2446 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2449 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2450 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2452 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2453 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2455 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2457 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459 * Released nmh-0.20.
2461 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2463 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2465 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2466 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2467 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2469 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2470 and the To: line was missing.
2472 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2474 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2476 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2478 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2479 watch the POP transaction.
2481 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2482 first, and use it if available.
2484 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2485 first, and use it if available.
2487 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2489 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2491 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2492 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2493 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2496 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2497 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2498 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2500 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2501 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2504 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2506 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2507 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2509 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2511 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2512 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2514 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2515 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2516 message to which you are replying.
2518 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2519 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2520 making group replies.
2522 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2524 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2526 * Released nmh-0.19.
2528 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2529 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2531 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2532 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2533 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2534 to the end of the man page.
2536 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2537 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2538 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2539 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2540 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2541 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2543 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2546 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2547 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2548 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2550 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2551 the next available number above the message number you wish
2554 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2555 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2557 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2558 file sbr/seq_print.c
2560 * flist will now update the current folder.
2562 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2563 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2564 but now undocumented.
2566 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2569 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2570 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2572 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2574 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2575 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2577 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * Released nmh-0.18.
2581 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2582 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2583 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2585 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2586 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2588 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2589 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2590 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2591 previous public/private status.
2593 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2596 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2599 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2600 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2601 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2603 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2604 take option to determine whether it should get current
2605 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2606 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2608 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2610 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2611 wait for stopped processes.
2613 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2614 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2616 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2620 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2621 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2623 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2624 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2626 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2627 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2628 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2629 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2631 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2634 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2637 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2639 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2640 the debugging output.
2642 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2643 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2645 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2647 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2649 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2650 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2652 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2654 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2655 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2656 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2657 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2658 in the given sequence.
2660 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2661 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2662 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2663 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2664 subdirectories of a given directory.
2666 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2667 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2668 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2670 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2671 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2673 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2675 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2678 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2679 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2680 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2682 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2683 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2684 are calculated at runtime.
2686 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2690 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2691 about checking for global mh.profile.
2693 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2694 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2695 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2696 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2697 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2698 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2700 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2701 adding message to folder itself.
2703 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2704 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2705 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2708 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2709 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2712 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2713 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2714 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2716 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2717 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2719 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2720 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2721 code to use it yet).
2723 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2725 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2727 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2728 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2730 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2731 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2733 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2735 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2738 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2740 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2742 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2744 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2746 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2747 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2749 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2751 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2753 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2755 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2757 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2759 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2760 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2762 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2763 configuration files.
2765 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2767 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2769 * Released nmh-0.17.
2771 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2773 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2774 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2776 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2779 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2780 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2782 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2783 number of refiled message.
2785 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2787 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2788 for return value of wait().
2790 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2792 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2794 * Released nmh-0.16.
2796 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2800 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2801 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2802 deal with binary messages, yet).
2804 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2806 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2808 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2809 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2810 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2811 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2812 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2813 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2815 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2816 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2818 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2819 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2821 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2822 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2825 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2827 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2829 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2830 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2833 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2836 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2838 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2839 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2840 which used unsigned chars by default.
2842 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2844 * Released nmh-0.15.
2846 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2847 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.

2851 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2853 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2856 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2857 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2858 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2860 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2861 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2863 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2865 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2866 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2868 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2869 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2870 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2871 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2873 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2874 and put in own subroutine.
2876 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2877 and put in own subroutine.
2879 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2880 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2881 refile.c to use new routine.

2885 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2887 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2890 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2891 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2892 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2894 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2897 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2898 adding message to sequence.
2900 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2901 corresponding file in sbr.
2903 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2906 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2908 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2909 all selected messages from a sequence.
2911 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2912 selected messages to a sequence.
2914 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2917 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2919 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2920 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2922 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2924 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2943 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2944 environment variable.
2946 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2947 draft folder facility in nmh.
2949 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2959 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2961 * Released nmh-0.13.
2963 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2964 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2965 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2966 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2969 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2970 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2972 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2974 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2975 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2977 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2979 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2980 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

3004 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3005 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3007 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3008 will suppress the display of the message header.
3010 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3012 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3013 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3015 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3017 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3019 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3021 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3022 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3024 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3025 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3027 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3029 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3031 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3032 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3034 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3035 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3037 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3039 * Released nmh-0.10.

3046 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3048 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3049 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3051 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3052 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3054 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3055 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3057 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3060 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3062 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3064 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3065 of missing tabs in regex.

3092 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3094 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3095 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3097 * Released nmh-0.08.
3099 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3100 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3101 locking database itself.
3103 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3107 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3108 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3111 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3112 rather than mmdf format.
3114 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3115 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3116 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3117 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3119 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3121 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3123 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3126 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3127 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3128 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3130 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3131 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3132 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3134 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3136 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3137 can still easily change this in config.h).
3139 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3140 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3141 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3143 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3145 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3157 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3160 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3162 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3163 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3166 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3167 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3169 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3170 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3172 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3174 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3176 * Added configure check for tzset.

3180 * Released nmh-0.06.
3182 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3183 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3185 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3186 many such machines around anymore.
3188 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3189 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3191 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3192 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3194 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3196 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3197 pre-generated version if necessary.
3199 * Released nmh-0.05.
3201 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3202 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3203 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3204 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3206 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3207 be linked in one pass.
3209 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3211 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3212 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3214 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3216 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3218 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3221 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3222 become the current folder.
3224 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3226 * Released nmh-0.04.
3228 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3231 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3233 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3234 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3235 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3237 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3239 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3240 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3242 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3244 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3245 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3248 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3249 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3251 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3253 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3254 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3255 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3256 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3257 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3258 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3260 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3262 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3263 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3265 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3266 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3268 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3270 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3271 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3273 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3275 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3276 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3277 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3279 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3281 * Released nmh-0.03.
3283 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3284 .mh_sequence file existed.
3286 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3287 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3289 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3290 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3293 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3295 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3298 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3300 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3301 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3302 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3304 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3306 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3307 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3308 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3310 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3312 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3313 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3315 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3317 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3319 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3320 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3321 directory from where the source code is located.
3323 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3325 * Released nmh-0.02.

3332 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3334 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3335 and sys_nerr directly.
3337 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3341 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3343 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3345 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3346 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3347 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3348 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3349 rather than in script.
3351 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3355 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3356 macro defined on Solaris.
3358 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3360 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3361 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3363 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3364 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3365 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3366 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3369 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3371 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3372 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3374 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3377 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3379 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3381 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3382 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3384 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3386 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3387 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3389 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3391 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3392 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3393 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3394 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3395 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3396 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

3428 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to

3436 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
