3 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
4 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
5 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
6 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
7 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
9 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
11 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
12 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
13 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
14 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
16 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
17 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
18 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
19 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
21 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
22 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
23 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
24 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
26 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
27 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
28 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
30 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
32 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
33 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
34 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
35 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
36 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
37 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
40 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
41 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
43 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
44 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
46 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
48 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
50 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
52 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
53 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
54 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
55 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
57 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
59 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
60 be easily changed from "," to "#".
62 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
64 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
66 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
67 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
70 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
72 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
73 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
74 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
75 but not for the subsequent data stream.
77 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
79 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
80 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
81 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
82 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
83 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
85 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
87 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
88 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
90 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
91 cat, also define lorder as echo.
93 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
95 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
97 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
98 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
99 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
101 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
103 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
106 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
107 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
109 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
111 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
112 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
114 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
116 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
117 inc does not need to be setgid.
119 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
121 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
122 library, as found on Debian systems.
124 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
126 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
128 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
129 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
130 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
131 case-insensitivity flag.
133 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
135 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
136 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
138 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
140 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
141 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
142 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
143 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
144 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
145 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
146 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
147 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
148 getting moved aside).
150 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
151 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
153 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
155 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
156 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
157 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
158 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
159 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
160 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
161 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
162 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
163 the prototype, but never sets it.
165 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
166 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
167 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
168 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
169 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
170 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
172 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
173 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
174 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
175 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
176 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
178 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
180 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
181 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
184 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
185 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
186 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
187 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
188 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
189 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
190 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
192 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
194 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
196 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
197 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
198 this works on other systems.
200 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
202 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
203 checks for write failures.
205 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
207 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
209 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
212 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
214 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
216 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
218 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
219 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
222 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
224 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
225 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
226 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
227 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
229 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
231 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
232 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
235 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
236 as well as Makefiles.
238 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
240 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
241 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
242 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
243 should make maintainability easier.
245 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
246 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
247 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
248 whatever you know works.
250 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
252 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
253 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
254 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
256 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
257 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
258 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
259 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
261 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
262 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
263 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
265 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
266 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
267 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
268 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
269 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
271 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
272 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
273 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
274 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
275 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
276 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
277 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
278 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
279 from the BSD version.
281 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
282 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
283 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
285 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
288 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
291 This happens on solaris:
294 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
295 No manual entry for mts.conf.
299 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
301 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
302 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
304 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
306 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
307 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
308 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
309 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
310 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
311 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
312 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
313 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
314 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
315 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
316 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
318 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
319 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
320 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
321 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
322 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
323 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
326 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
327 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
328 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
329 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
330 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
332 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
333 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
335 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
337 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
338 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
339 to stdin, such as exmh.
341 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
342 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
343 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
346 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
348 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
349 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
350 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
351 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
352 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
353 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
354 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
356 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
358 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
359 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
361 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
363 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
364 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
366 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
368 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
371 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
372 along with any -host or -user option.
374 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
376 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
378 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
379 process was fresh in my mind.
381 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
383 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
384 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
386 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
388 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
390 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
393 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
394 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
395 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
396 part of the program's name.
398 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
399 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
402 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
404 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
405 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
406 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
407 single-character format would cause programs using this
408 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
409 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
410 when the format string was one character. This eventually
411 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
414 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
416 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
417 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
418 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
419 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
420 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
421 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
423 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
424 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
425 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
426 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
427 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
428 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
429 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
430 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
432 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
433 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
434 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
435 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
436 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
437 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
438 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
439 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
440 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
441 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
443 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
445 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
446 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
448 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
449 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
451 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
456 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
458 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
459 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
460 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
461 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
463 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
464 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
465 problem in the routine.
467 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
469 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
470 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
472 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
473 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
474 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
477 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
479 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
480 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
481 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
482 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
483 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
484 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
485 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
486 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
487 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
488 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
490 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
492 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
493 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
494 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
495 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
496 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
497 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
498 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
499 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
500 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
501 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
502 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
503 interesting than a duplication of the default.
505 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
506 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
507 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
508 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
509 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
511 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
514 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
516 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
517 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
518 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
519 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
522 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
524 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
526 * Applied, after some finessing,
527 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
529 Here's a patch that allows you to add
531 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
533 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
534 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
535 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
536 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
538 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
540 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
541 forgetting to do so!).
543 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
544 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
545 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
546 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
547 arguments to enable all three types.
549 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
550 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
552 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
553 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
554 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
555 updated copy of mts.conf.
557 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
559 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
560 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
561 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
563 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
565 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
567 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
568 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
569 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
571 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
572 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
573 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
575 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
576 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
577 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
579 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
581 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
583 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
585 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
587 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
588 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
590 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
591 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
592 certain suffix to run properly.
594 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
595 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
596 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
598 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
599 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
600 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
601 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
602 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
603 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
604 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
606 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
608 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
609 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
610 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
611 until some year far in the future).
613 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
615 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
617 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
618 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
620 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
621 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
624 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
626 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
627 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
628 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
629 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
630 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
631 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
633 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
635 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
637 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
638 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
639 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
641 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
642 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
643 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
644 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
645 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
646 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
649 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
650 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
651 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
652 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
653 of masquerading individually.
655 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
656 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
657 GECOS field delimiters.
659 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
661 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
662 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
663 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
664 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
665 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
666 and explaining the feature.
668 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
670 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
671 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
674 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
675 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
676 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
678 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
679 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
680 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
681 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
683 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
684 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
685 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
688 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
690 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
693 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
695 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
697 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
698 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
699 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
700 quotes embedded in them.
702 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
704 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
705 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
706 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
707 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
708 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
709 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
710 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
713 The other theory is that because you can say something like
714 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
715 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
716 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
717 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
719 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
721 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
723 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
724 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
725 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
726 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
728 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
731 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
733 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
735 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
737 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
738 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
739 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
741 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
744 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
746 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
747 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
748 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
749 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
750 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
751 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
753 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
754 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
756 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
758 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
761 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
764 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
765 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
768 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
769 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
770 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
771 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
772 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
773 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
774 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
775 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
776 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
777 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
778 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
779 processing that post has).
781 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
783 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
784 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
785 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
786 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
787 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
788 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
791 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
793 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
795 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
797 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
799 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
800 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
802 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
805 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
807 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
808 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
809 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
812 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
814 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
815 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
816 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
817 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
818 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
819 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
821 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
823 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
825 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
827 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
828 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
829 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
830 caught again. This works for now.
832 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
834 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
836 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
837 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
839 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
841 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
842 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
844 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
846 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
848 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
850 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
851 changes. Both need more cleanup.
853 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
855 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
856 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
857 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
858 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
859 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
862 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
864 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
865 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
866 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
868 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
869 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
872 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
875 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
876 to a directory on another device with more free space.
878 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
880 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
881 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
883 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
885 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
888 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
889 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
891 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
892 macros, regardless of platform.
894 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
895 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
897 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
898 with x-conversions=gzip.
900 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
902 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
905 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
906 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
907 implicit definition of ioctl().
909 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
910 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
911 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
912 want to mess with them.
914 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
916 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
917 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
919 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
920 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
922 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
923 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
924 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
926 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
927 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
928 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
930 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
933 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
936 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
937 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
940 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
941 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
944 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
945 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
949 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
951 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
952 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
953 preventing compilation on at least linux.
955 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
956 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
958 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
960 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
962 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
963 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
964 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
965 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
967 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
968 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
970 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
972 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
974 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
977 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
979 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
981 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
982 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
984 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
985 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
986 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
987 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
989 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
990 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
992 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
994 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
995 substitute it for mktemp if available.
997 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
999 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1000 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1003 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1005 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1007 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1009 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1010 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1012 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1013 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1014 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1016 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1017 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1018 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1020 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1021 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1022 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1024 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1025 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1028 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1029 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1031 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1032 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1034 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1035 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1037 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1038 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1039 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1041 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1042 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1044 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1045 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1046 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1048 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1049 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1052 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1053 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1055 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1056 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1057 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1058 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1060 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1061 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1063 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1067 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1068 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1069 would not be changed.
1071 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1072 one from the Apache web server.
1074 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1075 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1077 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1078 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1079 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1081 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1083 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1085 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1086 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1089 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1090 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1091 removes a bad race condition.
1093 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1096 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1097 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1098 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1100 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1101 sequence information.
1103 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1104 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1106 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1109 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1112 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1114 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1115 interpret 034 as octal.
1117 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1119 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1120 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1122 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1123 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1125 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1126 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1128 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1129 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1131 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1132 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1134 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1135 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1136 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1138 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1139 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1140 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1142 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1144 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1146 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1147 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1150 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1152 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1153 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1155 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1156 header field information.
1158 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1159 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1161 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1162 values when parsing a content.
1164 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1165 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1167 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1168 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1170 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1171 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1173 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1174 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1176 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1178 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1180 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1182 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1184 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1185 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1188 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1189 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1191 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1192 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1193 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1194 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1195 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1196 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1199 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1201 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1202 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1203 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1205 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1206 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1208 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1210 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1211 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1212 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1213 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1215 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1216 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1219 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1220 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1221 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1222 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1225 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1227 * Released nmh-0.27.
1229 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1230 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1232 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1233 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1234 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1235 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1238 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1239 mhbuild returns an error.
1241 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1242 rename the draft file.
1244 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1245 use a global variable.
1247 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1248 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1250 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1251 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1253 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1254 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1255 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1257 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1258 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1260 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1261 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1264 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1265 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1268 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1269 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1271 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1272 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1273 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1275 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1276 to new function output_content_folder.
1278 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1279 new function output_content_file.
1281 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1282 to new function parse_format_string.
1284 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1285 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1286 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1287 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1289 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1290 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1291 message/external file from ftp.
1293 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1294 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1295 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1297 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1298 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1301 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1304 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1305 new file mhstoresbr.c
1307 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1310 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1311 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1313 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1314 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1316 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1317 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1318 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1320 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1322 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1324 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1325 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1328 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1329 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1331 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1334 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1336 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1338 * Released nmh-0.26.
1340 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1341 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1342 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1343 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1345 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1346 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1347 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1348 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1349 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1351 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1352 But it is not on by default.
1354 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1355 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1357 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1359 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1361 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1363 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1365 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1366 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1368 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1370 * Released nmh-0.25.
1372 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1373 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1374 uses the original name of the library.
1376 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1377 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1380 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1381 list_content and list_debug.
1383 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1385 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1386 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1388 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1390 * Released nmh-0.24.
1392 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1394 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1395 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1397 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1398 large sequence line.
1400 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1402 * Released nmh-0.23.
1404 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1406 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1407 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1408 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1409 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1411 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1412 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1415 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1417 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1419 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1421 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1422 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1424 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1425 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1427 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1428 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1430 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1431 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1433 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1435 * Released nmh-0.22.
1437 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1438 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1440 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1442 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1443 mh-profile(5) man page.
1445 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1446 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1448 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1450 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1452 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1453 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1455 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1457 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1458 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1459 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1461 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1462 source message on the standard input.
1464 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1466 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1467 rather than -rfc934mode.
1469 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1470 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1473 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1474 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1476 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1479 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1481 * Released nmh-0.21.
1483 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1484 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1486 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1489 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1490 to use for text contents.
1492 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1494 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1496 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1498 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1500 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1501 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1503 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1504 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1505 spaces between encoded word are.
1507 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1509 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1510 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1512 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1513 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1514 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1516 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1518 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1519 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1521 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1523 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1525 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1526 ISO-8859-X character set.
1528 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1531 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1532 permissions, not write permissions.
1534 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1535 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1537 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1540 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1542 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1544 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1545 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1547 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1548 message contains valid character set.
1550 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1551 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1553 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1554 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1556 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1557 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1558 between an encoded word and normal text.
1560 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1561 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1563 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1564 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1566 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1569 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1570 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1573 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1574 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1576 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1577 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1579 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1581 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1583 * Released nmh-0.20.
1585 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1587 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1589 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1590 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1591 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1593 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1594 and the To: line was missing.
1596 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1598 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1600 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1602 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1603 watch the POP transaction.
1605 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1606 first, and use it if available.
1608 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1609 first, and use it if available.
1611 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1613 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1615 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1616 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1617 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1620 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1621 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1622 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1624 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1625 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1628 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1630 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1631 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1633 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1635 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1636 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1638 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1639 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1640 message to which you are replying.
1642 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1643 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1644 making group replies.
1646 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1648 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1650 * Released nmh-0.19.
1652 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1653 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1655 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1656 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1657 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1658 to the end of the man page.
1660 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1661 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1662 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1663 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1664 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1665 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1667 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1670 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1671 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1672 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1674 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1675 the next available number above the message number you wish
1678 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1679 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1681 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1682 file sbr/seq_print.c
1684 * flist will now update the current folder.
1686 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1687 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1688 but now undocumented.
1690 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1693 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1694 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1696 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1698 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1699 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1701 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1703 * Released nmh-0.18.
1705 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1706 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1707 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1709 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1710 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1712 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1713 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1714 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1715 previous public/private status.
1717 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1720 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1723 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1724 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1725 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1727 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1728 take option to determine whether it should get current
1729 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1730 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1732 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1734 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1735 wait for stopped processes.
1737 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1738 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1740 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1742 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1744 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1745 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1747 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1748 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1750 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1751 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1752 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1753 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1755 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1758 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1761 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1763 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1764 the debugging output.
1766 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1767 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1769 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1771 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1773 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1774 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1776 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1778 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1779 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1780 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1781 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1782 in the given sequence.
1784 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1785 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1786 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1787 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1788 subdirectories of a given directory.
1790 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1791 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1792 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1794 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1795 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1797 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1799 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1802 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1803 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1804 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1806 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1807 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1808 are calculated at runtime.
1810 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1818 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1819 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1820 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1821 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1822 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1824 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1825 adding message to folder itself.
1827 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1828 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1829 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1832 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1833 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1836 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1837 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1838 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1840 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1841 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1843 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1844 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1845 code to use it yet).
1847 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1849 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1851 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1852 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1854 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1855 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1857 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1859 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1862 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1877 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1879 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1881 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

1884 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1886 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1887 configuration files.
1889 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

1895 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1897 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1898 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1900 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1903 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1904 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1906 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1907 number of refiled message.
1909 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1911 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1912 for return value of wait().
1914 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1916 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1918 * Released nmh-0.16.

1922 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1924 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1925 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1926 deal with binary messages, yet).
1928 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1930 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1932 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1933 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1934 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1935 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1936 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1937 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1939 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1940 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1942 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1943 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1945 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1946 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1949 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1951 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1953 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1954 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1957 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1960 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1962 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1963 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1964 which used unsigned chars by default.
1966 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1968 * Released nmh-0.15.
1970 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1975 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1977 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1980 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1981 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1982 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1984 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1985 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1987 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1989 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1990 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1992 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1993 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1994 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1995 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1997 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1998 and put in own subroutine.
2000 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2001 and put in own subroutine.
2003 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2004 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2005 refile.c to use new routine.
2007 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2009 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2011 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2014 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2015 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2016 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2018 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2021 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2022 adding message to sequence.
2024 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2025 corresponding file in sbr.
2027 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2030 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2032 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2033 all selected messages from a sequence.
2035 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2036 selected messages to a sequence.
2038 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2041 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2043 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2044 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2046 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2048 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2085 * Released nmh-0.13.
2087 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2088 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2089 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2090 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2093 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2094 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2096 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2098 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2099 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2101 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2103 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2120 mp->attrstats with macros.
2122 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2125 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2128 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2129 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2131 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2132 will suppress the display of the message header.
2134 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2136 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2137 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2139 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2141 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2143 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2145 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2146 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2148 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2149 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.

2153 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2155 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2156 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2158 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2159 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2161 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2163 * Released nmh-0.10.

2170 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2172 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2173 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2175 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2176 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2178 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2211 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2213 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2214 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2216 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2218 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2219 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2221 * Released nmh-0.08.
2223 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2224 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2225 locking database itself.

2229 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2231 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2232 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2235 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2236 rather than mmdf format.
2238 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2239 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2240 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2241 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2243 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2245 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2247 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2250 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2251 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2252 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2254 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2255 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2256 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2258 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2260 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2261 can still easily change this in config.h).
2263 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2264 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2265 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2267 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2269 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2270 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2279 * Released nmh-0.07.
2281 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2283 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2284 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2286 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2287 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2290 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2291 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2293 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2294 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2296 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2298 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2300 * Added configure check for tzset.
2302 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2304 * Released nmh-0.06.
2306 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2307 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2309 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2310 many such machines around anymore.
2312 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2313 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2315 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2316 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2318 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2320 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2321 pre-generated version if necessary.
2323 * Released nmh-0.05.
2325 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2326 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2327 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2328 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2330 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2331 be linked in one pass.
2333 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2335 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2336 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2338 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2340 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2342 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2344 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2345 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2346 become the current folder.
2348 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2350 * Released nmh-0.04.
2352 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2355 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2357 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2358 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2359 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2361 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2363 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2364 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2366 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2368 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2369 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2372 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2373 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2375 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2377 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2378 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2379 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2380 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2381 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2382 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2384 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2386 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2387 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2389 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2390 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2392 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2394 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2395 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2397 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2399 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2400 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2401 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2403 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2405 * Released nmh-0.03.
2407 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2408 .mh_sequence file existed.
2410 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2411 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2413 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2414 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2417 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2422 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2424 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2425 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2426 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2428 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2430 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2431 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2432 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2434 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2436 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2437 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2439 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2441 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2443 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2444 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2445 directory from where the source code is located.
2447 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2449 * Released nmh-0.02.
2451 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2456 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2458 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2459 and sys_nerr directly.
2461 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2465 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2467 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2469 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2470 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2471 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2472 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2473 rather than in script.
2475 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2477 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2479 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2480 macro defined on Solaris.
2482 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2484 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2485 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2487 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2488 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2489 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2490 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2493 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2495 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2496 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2498 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2501 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2503 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2505 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2506 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2508 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2510 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2511 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2513 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2515 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2516 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2517 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2518 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2519 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2520 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2522 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2524 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2526 * Released nmh-0.01.
2528 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2529 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2530 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2533 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2535 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2538 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2540 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2541 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2543 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2545 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2546 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2547 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2548 script to find_program.
2550 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2552 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2553 speed up -recurse option.
2555 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2556 yet, but it compiles :-)
2558 * Changed default location for install to
2559 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2560 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2561 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2564 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2565 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2566 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
