1 2009-01-16 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * test/runtest, test/tests/inc/test-deb359167,
4 test/tests/inc/test-eom-align, test/tests/manpages/test-manpages:
5 Load common.sh via absolute path, otherwise some /bin/sh
6 (e.g. dash) can't load it.
8 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/new.c, test/tests/new/test-basic: Add new
9 program, and fn/fp/unseen symlinks.
11 * test/{runtest,setup-test}: Move MH profile under Mail directory
12 so each test script will have its own to muck with, if needed.
14 * h/Makefile.in, h/crawl_folders.h, sbr/Makefile.in,
15 sbr/crawl_folders.c, uip/folder.c: Extract the folder crawling
16 code from folder.c into new crawl_folders function, using a
17 callback to assemble the folder info in folder.c. Drop compare
18 function and use strcmp instead. Rename addfold and addir to
19 add_folder and add_children (add dir vs. add folder?
22 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
24 * sbr/m_getfld.c: fix two bugs which could cause us to walk off
25 the beginning of the stdio or prefix-string buffer when checking
26 for presence of the end-of-message delimiter in some situations.
27 This might cause inc to dump core if you were unlucky. (This was
29 * test/tests/inc/{md5sums,msgheader.txt,test-deb359167,
30 test-eom-align,fromline.txt,filler.txt,deb359167.mbox}: new tests
31 both for the specific problem and to try to check various alignments
32 of the eom string with the stdio buffer ending.
33 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
34 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
35 new file. Added some functions for doing progress indicators.
37 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
39 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
40 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
42 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
44 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
45 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
46 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
47 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
50 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
52 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
53 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
54 "is greater than or equal to".
56 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
58 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
59 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
62 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
64 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
65 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
66 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
67 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
69 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
71 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
72 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
75 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
78 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
79 and send output there rather than to stdout.
81 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
82 end up going to stdout.
84 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
86 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
87 waiting until the very end to print anything.
88 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
89 instead of searching the messages first.
91 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
93 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
94 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
96 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
98 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
101 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
103 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
105 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
106 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
109 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
110 'static' from the definitions here.
111 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
113 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
114 support get_ctinfo change).
115 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
116 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
117 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
118 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
119 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
120 suffixes, not prefixes.
121 (openMail): Explain showproc.
123 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
124 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
126 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
127 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
129 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
131 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
133 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
134 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
135 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
136 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
138 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
140 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
143 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
144 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
145 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
147 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
149 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
150 autotools in the right order
151 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
153 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
154 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
155 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
157 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
159 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
160 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
162 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
164 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
165 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
166 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
167 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
168 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
170 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
172 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
175 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
177 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
178 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
179 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
180 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
181 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
182 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
183 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
185 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
187 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
188 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
190 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
191 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
192 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
193 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
194 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
196 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
197 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
198 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
200 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
201 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
202 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
203 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
204 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
205 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
206 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
207 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
208 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
210 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
212 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
215 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
217 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
218 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
219 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
220 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
221 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
222 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
224 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
226 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
228 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
230 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
231 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
234 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
235 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
236 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
238 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
241 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
243 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
244 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
245 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
247 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
248 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
249 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
251 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
253 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
254 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
255 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
256 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
257 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
258 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
259 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
261 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
263 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
264 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
266 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
268 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
269 with multibyte support.
271 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
272 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
273 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
274 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
276 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
278 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
279 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
281 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
282 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
284 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
286 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
287 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
288 the address of a static array.
290 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
292 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
293 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
295 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
297 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
298 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
299 This allows users to masquerade with the default
300 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
301 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
302 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
305 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
307 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
308 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
309 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
310 ruserpass() has a void return type.
312 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
313 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
314 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
315 provide memmove() substitute implementation
317 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
318 source directory' feature
320 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
321 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
323 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
325 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
326 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
327 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
330 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
332 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
333 is the wrong approach.
335 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
336 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
337 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
340 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
341 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
342 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
343 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
344 broken for continued lines from the server.
346 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
348 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
349 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
351 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
353 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
355 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
358 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
360 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
362 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
364 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
365 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
366 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
367 obsolete feature of autoconf
369 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
371 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
372 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
373 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
375 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
377 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
378 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
380 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
382 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
385 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
387 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
388 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
389 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
390 following done() (should never be reached).
392 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
394 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
395 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
397 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
399 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
400 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
402 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
404 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
405 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
406 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
407 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
408 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
409 acconfig.h if you must.
411 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
413 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
414 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
415 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
416 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
418 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
420 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
423 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
425 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
426 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
427 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
428 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
429 have Content-Disposition.
431 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
433 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
436 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
438 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
439 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
441 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
443 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
444 encoded block is empty
446 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
448 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
449 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
450 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
453 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
455 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
456 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
459 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
461 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
462 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
463 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
464 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
467 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
468 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
470 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
472 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
473 function num_digits into utils.c
475 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
477 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
478 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
479 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
481 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
483 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
484 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
485 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
486 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
487 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
488 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
489 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
490 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
492 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
494 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
495 Content-Disposition header.
497 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
499 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
500 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
501 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
502 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
503 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
504 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
505 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
506 users to easily accomodate that by adding
507 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
509 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
511 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
512 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
514 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
516 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
518 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
519 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
521 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
522 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
524 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
526 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
527 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
528 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
529 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
530 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
533 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
535 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
536 widths, restoring right justification feature
538 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
540 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
541 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
542 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
544 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
547 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
549 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
550 handling multi column characters.
552 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
554 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
556 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
558 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
559 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
562 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
564 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
566 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
568 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
571 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
573 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
576 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
578 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
579 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
580 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
581 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
583 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
585 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
586 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
587 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
588 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
589 where configure's autodetection fails.
591 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
593 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
594 configure script change.
596 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
598 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
599 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
600 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
603 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
605 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
606 the context is only read once.
608 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
610 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
611 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
613 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
615 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
616 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
618 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
619 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
622 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
623 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
626 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
628 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
629 vi isn't found during build.
631 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
633 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
634 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
636 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
637 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
638 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
640 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
642 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
643 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
645 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
646 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
647 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
648 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
651 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
652 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
653 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
655 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
656 entry in the context file.
658 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
660 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
661 problems on some systems
663 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
664 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
666 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
668 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
669 sendmail isn't found during build.
671 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
673 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
675 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
677 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
678 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
680 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
681 references to the web page and mailing list locations
683 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
684 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
686 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
689 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
691 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
692 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
693 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
695 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
696 was configured with --enable-apop.
698 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
699 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
700 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
702 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
703 new versions of flex.
705 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
706 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
707 doesn't guess wrongly.
709 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
711 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
712 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
714 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
715 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
717 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
718 files with numbers as names
720 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
722 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
724 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
726 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
728 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
729 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
731 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
733 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
736 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
737 test/report error writing to stdout
739 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
741 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
743 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
744 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
745 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
747 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
748 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
749 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
751 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
753 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
754 character set used by the current locale
756 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
757 message's filename overflows an int when converted
759 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
760 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
762 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
764 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
767 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
769 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
770 from Michael Richardson.
772 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
773 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
775 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
777 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
778 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
780 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
782 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
783 find sub-parts of the specified part
785 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
787 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
788 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
789 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
790 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
791 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
792 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
793 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
796 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
798 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
799 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
800 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
803 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
804 refiling with -src option.
806 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
808 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
810 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
812 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
813 mailpath being overwritten.
815 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
817 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
818 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
819 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
820 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
821 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
822 reinitializes the tmp file string.
824 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
825 if a format string was read from the profile.
827 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
828 path for the external hook.
830 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
832 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
833 another location for ndbm.
835 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
837 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
839 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
841 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
844 136976 - Handle binary content messages
845 143427 - mh-format.man typo
846 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
847 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
848 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
849 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
850 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
851 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
852 181867 - typo for nmh.man
854 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
856 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
857 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
858 contitional code which will result in cached data to
859 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
860 and parse on the first use.
861 * Remove some unused flag bits.
863 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
865 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
866 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
868 #578 - repl leaks umask
869 #1393 - sortm core dumps
870 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
871 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
872 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
874 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
875 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
877 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
880 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
882 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
884 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
885 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
886 to docs/README.about.
888 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
890 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
892 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
893 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
894 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
895 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
898 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
900 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
901 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
902 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
903 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
904 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
905 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
908 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
909 summary configure prints out.
911 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
912 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
913 subjectively more readable) format.
915 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
917 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
920 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
922 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
923 19xx when it's not necessary.
925 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
927 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
928 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
931 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
932 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
933 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
934 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
935 the man pages correctly.
937 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
939 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
941 * Finished manpages ali-prev
943 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
944 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
945 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
948 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
949 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
950 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
951 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
953 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
955 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
956 the formatting rules I've been using.
960 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
962 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
963 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
964 used in the manpages.
966 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
967 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
968 read in the contents of the file as the variable
971 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
972 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
973 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
974 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
975 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
976 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
977 bold flags and italicized parameters.
979 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
981 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
982 --with-locking option.
984 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
985 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
986 information was not being communicated to the
987 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
988 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
989 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
990 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
991 undefined symbols problems.
993 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
994 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
995 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
996 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
997 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
998 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
999 for a genuine krb4 installation.
1001 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1003 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
1004 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1006 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1008 * Made a new ./configure option called
1009 "--with-locking" that allows the file
1010 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
1011 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
1013 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
1014 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
1015 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
1016 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
1017 the user that these are the valid options, and
1018 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
1021 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1023 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
1024 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
1025 committed to supporting flex only, since
1026 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
1027 string, as well as other problems documented
1028 below and on nmh-workers.
1030 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1031 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1032 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1035 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1036 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1038 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1040 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1041 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1042 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1044 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1046 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1047 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1049 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1051 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1052 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1053 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1054 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1055 couldn't correctly identify them.
1057 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1059 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1060 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1061 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1062 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1063 not depending on an external archive.
1065 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1066 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1067 mts/generic is no longer built.
1069 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1071 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1072 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1073 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1074 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1075 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1076 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1077 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1078 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1080 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1082 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1083 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1086 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1088 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1089 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1090 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1093 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1094 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1095 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1096 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1098 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1099 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1100 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1101 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1102 merged into the smtp code).
1104 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1105 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1106 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1109 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1110 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1111 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1112 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1113 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1114 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1115 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1117 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1119 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1120 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1121 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1122 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1123 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1124 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1125 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1126 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1127 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1128 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1129 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1131 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1133 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1134 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1135 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1136 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1137 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1138 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1139 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1140 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1141 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1143 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1145 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1146 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1147 able to access them.
1149 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1151 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1152 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1154 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1156 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1157 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1158 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1159 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1161 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1163 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1164 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1165 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1166 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1167 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1169 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1170 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1172 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1174 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1176 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1177 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1178 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1179 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1181 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1182 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1183 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1184 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1186 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1187 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1188 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1189 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1191 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1192 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1193 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1195 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1197 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1198 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1199 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1200 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1201 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1202 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1205 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1206 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1208 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1209 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1211 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1213 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1215 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1217 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1218 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1219 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1220 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1222 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1224 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1225 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1227 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1229 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1231 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1232 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1235 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1238 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1239 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1240 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1242 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1244 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1245 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1246 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1247 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1248 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1250 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1252 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1253 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1255 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1256 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1258 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1260 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1262 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1263 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1264 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1266 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1268 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1271 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1272 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1274 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1276 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1277 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1279 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1281 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1282 inc does not need to be setgid.
1284 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1286 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1287 library, as found on Debian systems.
1289 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1291 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1293 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1294 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1295 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1296 case-insensitivity flag.
1298 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1300 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1301 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1303 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1305 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1306 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1307 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1308 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1309 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1310 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1311 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1312 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1313 getting moved aside).
1315 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1316 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1318 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1320 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1321 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1322 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1323 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1324 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1325 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1326 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1327 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1328 the prototype, but never sets it.
1330 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1331 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1332 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1333 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1334 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1335 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1337 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1338 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1339 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1340 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1341 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1343 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1345 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1346 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1349 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1350 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1351 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1352 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1353 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1354 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1355 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1357 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1359 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1361 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1362 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1363 this works on other systems.
1365 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1367 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1368 checks for write failures.
1370 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1372 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1374 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1377 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1379 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1381 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1383 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1384 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1387 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1389 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1390 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1391 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1392 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1394 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1396 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1397 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1400 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1401 as well as Makefiles.
1403 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1405 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1406 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1407 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1408 should make maintainability easier.
1410 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1411 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1412 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1413 whatever you know works.
1415 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1417 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1418 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1419 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1421 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1422 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1423 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1424 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1426 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1427 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1428 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1430 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1431 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1432 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1433 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1434 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1436 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1437 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1438 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1439 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1440 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1441 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1442 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1443 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1444 from the BSD version.
1446 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1447 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1448 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1450 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1451 in ruserpass.c also.
1453 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1456 This happens on solaris:
1459 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1460 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1464 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1466 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1467 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1469 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1471 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1472 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1473 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1474 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1475 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1476 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1477 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1478 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1479 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1480 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1481 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1483 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1484 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1485 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1486 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1487 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1488 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1491 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1492 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1493 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1494 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1495 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1497 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1498 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1500 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1502 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1503 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1504 to stdin, such as exmh.
1506 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1507 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1508 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1511 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1513 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1514 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1515 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1516 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1517 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1518 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1519 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1521 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1523 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1524 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1526 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1528 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1529 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1531 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1533 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1536 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1537 along with any -host or -user option.
1539 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1541 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1543 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1544 process was fresh in my mind.
1546 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1548 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1549 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1551 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1553 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1555 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1558 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1559 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1560 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1561 part of the program's name.
1563 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1564 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1567 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1569 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1570 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1571 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1572 single-character format would cause programs using this
1573 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1574 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1575 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1576 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1579 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1581 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1582 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1583 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1584 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1585 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1586 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1588 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1589 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1590 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1591 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1592 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1593 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1594 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1595 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1597 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1598 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1599 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1600 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1601 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1602 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1603 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1604 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1605 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1606 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1608 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1610 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1611 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1613 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1614 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1616 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1621 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1623 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1624 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1625 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1626 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1628 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1629 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1630 problem in the routine.
1632 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1634 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1635 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1637 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1638 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1639 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1642 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1644 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1645 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1646 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1647 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1648 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1649 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1650 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1651 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1652 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1653 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1655 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1657 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1658 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1659 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1660 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1661 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1662 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1663 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1664 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1665 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1666 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1667 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1668 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1670 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1671 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1672 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1673 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1674 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1676 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1679 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1681 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1682 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1683 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1684 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1687 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1689 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1691 * Applied, after some finessing,
1692 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1694 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1696 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1698 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1699 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1700 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1701 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1703 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1705 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1706 forgetting to do so!).
1708 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1709 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1710 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1711 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1712 arguments to enable all three types.
1714 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1715 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1717 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1718 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1719 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1720 updated copy of mts.conf.
1722 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1724 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1725 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1726 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1728 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1730 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1732 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1733 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1734 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1736 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1737 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1738 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1740 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1741 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1742 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1744 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1746 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1748 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1750 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1752 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1753 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1755 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1756 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1757 certain suffix to run properly.
1759 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1760 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1761 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1763 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1764 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1765 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1766 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1767 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1768 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1769 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1771 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1773 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1774 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1775 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1776 until some year far in the future).
1778 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1780 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1782 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1783 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1785 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1786 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1789 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1791 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1792 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1793 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1794 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1795 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1796 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1798 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1800 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1802 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1803 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1804 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1806 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1807 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1808 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1809 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1810 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1811 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1814 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1815 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1816 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1817 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1818 of masquerading individually.
1820 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1821 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1822 GECOS field delimiters.
1824 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1826 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1827 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1828 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1829 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1830 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1831 and explaining the feature.
1833 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1835 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1836 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1839 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1840 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1841 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1843 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1844 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1845 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1846 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1848 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1849 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1850 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1853 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1855 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1856 code to be executed.
1858 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1860 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1862 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1863 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1864 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1865 quotes embedded in them.
1867 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1869 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1870 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1871 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1872 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1873 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1874 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1875 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1878 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1879 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1880 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1881 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1882 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1884 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1886 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1888 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1889 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1890 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1891 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1893 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1896 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1898 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1900 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1902 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1903 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1904 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1906 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1909 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1911 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1912 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1913 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1914 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1915 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1916 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1918 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1919 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1921 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1923 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1926 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1928 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1929 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1930 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1933 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1934 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1935 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1936 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1937 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1938 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1939 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1940 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1941 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1942 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1943 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1944 processing that post has).
1946 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1948 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1949 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1950 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1951 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1952 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1953 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1956 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1958 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1960 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1962 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1964 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1965 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1967 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1970 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1972 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1973 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1974 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1977 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1979 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1980 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1981 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1982 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1983 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1984 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1986 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1988 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1990 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1992 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1993 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1994 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1995 caught again. This works for now.
1997 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1999 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2001 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
2002 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
2004 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2006 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
2007 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
2009 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
2011 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
2013 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2015 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
2016 changes. Both need more cleanup.
2018 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2020 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
2021 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
2022 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
2023 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
2024 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
2027 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2029 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2030 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2031 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2033 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2034 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2037 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2039 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2040 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2041 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2043 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2045 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2046 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2048 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2050 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2053 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2054 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2056 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2057 macros, regardless of platform.
2059 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2060 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2062 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2063 with x-conversions=gzip.
2065 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2067 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2070 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2071 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2072 implicit definition of ioctl().
2074 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2075 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2076 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2077 want to mess with them.
2079 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2081 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2082 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2084 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2085 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2087 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2088 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2089 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2091 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2092 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2093 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2095 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2096 function initgroups.
2098 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2101 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2102 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2105 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2106 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2109 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2110 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2114 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2116 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2117 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2118 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2120 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2121 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2123 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2125 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2127 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2128 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2129 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2130 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2132 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2133 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2135 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2137 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2139 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2141 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2142 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2144 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2146 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2147 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2149 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2150 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2151 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2152 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2154 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2155 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2157 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2159 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2160 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2162 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2164 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2165 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2168 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2170 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2172 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2174 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2175 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2177 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2178 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2179 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2181 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2182 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2183 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2185 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2186 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2187 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2189 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2190 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2193 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2194 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2196 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2197 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2199 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2200 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2202 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2203 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2204 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2206 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2207 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2209 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2210 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2211 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2213 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2214 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2217 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2218 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2220 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2221 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2222 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2223 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2225 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2226 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2228 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2232 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2233 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2234 would not be changed.
2236 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2237 one from the Apache web server.
2239 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2240 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2242 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2243 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2244 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2246 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2248 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2250 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2251 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2254 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2255 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2256 removes a bad race condition.
2258 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2261 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2262 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2263 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2265 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2266 sequence information.
2268 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2269 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2271 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2274 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2277 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2279 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2280 interpret 034 as octal.
2282 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2284 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2285 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2287 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2288 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2290 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2291 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2293 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2294 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2296 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2297 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2299 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2300 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2301 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2303 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2304 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2305 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2307 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2309 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2311 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2312 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2315 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2317 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2318 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2320 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2321 header field information.
2323 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2324 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2326 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2327 values when parsing a content.
2329 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2330 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2332 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2333 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2335 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2336 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2338 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2339 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2341 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2343 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2345 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2347 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2349 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2350 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2353 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2354 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2356 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2357 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2358 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2359 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2360 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2361 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2364 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2366 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2367 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2368 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2370 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2371 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2373 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2375 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2376 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2377 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2378 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2380 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2381 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2384 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2385 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2386 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2387 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2390 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2392 * Released nmh-0.27.
2394 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2395 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2397 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2398 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2399 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2400 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2403 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2404 mhbuild returns an error.
2406 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2407 rename the draft file.
2409 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2410 use a global variable.
2412 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2413 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2415 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2416 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2418 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2419 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2420 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2422 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2423 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2425 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2426 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2429 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2430 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2433 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2434 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2436 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2437 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2438 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2440 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2441 to new function output_content_folder.
2443 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2444 new function output_content_file.
2446 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2447 to new function parse_format_string.
2449 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2450 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2451 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2452 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2454 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2455 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2456 message/external file from ftp.
2458 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2459 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2460 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2462 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2463 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2466 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2469 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2470 new file mhstoresbr.c
2472 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2475 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2476 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2478 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2479 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2481 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2482 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2483 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2485 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2487 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2489 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2490 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2493 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2494 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2496 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2499 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2501 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2503 * Released nmh-0.26.
2505 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2506 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2507 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2508 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2510 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2511 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2512 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2513 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2514 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2516 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2517 But it is not on by default.
2519 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2520 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2522 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2524 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2526 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2528 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2530 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2531 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2533 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2535 * Released nmh-0.25.
2537 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2538 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2539 uses the original name of the library.
2541 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2542 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2545 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2546 list_content and list_debug.
2548 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2550 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2551 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2553 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2555 * Released nmh-0.24.
2557 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2559 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2560 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2562 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2563 large sequence line.
2565 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2567 * Released nmh-0.23.
2569 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2571 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2572 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2573 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2574 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2576 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2577 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2580 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2582 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2584 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2586 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2587 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2589 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2590 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2592 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2593 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2595 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2596 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2598 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2600 * Released nmh-0.22.
2602 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2603 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2605 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2607 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2608 mh-profile(5) man page.
2610 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2611 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2613 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2615 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2617 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2618 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2620 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2622 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2623 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2624 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2626 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2627 source message on the standard input.
2629 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2631 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2632 rather than -rfc934mode.
2634 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2635 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2638 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2639 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2641 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2644 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2646 * Released nmh-0.21.
2648 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2649 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2651 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2654 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2655 to use for text contents.
2657 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2659 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2661 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2663 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2665 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2666 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2668 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2669 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2670 spaces between encoded word are.
2672 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2674 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2675 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2677 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2678 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2679 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2681 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2683 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2684 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2686 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2688 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2690 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2691 ISO-8859-X character set.
2693 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2696 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2697 permissions, not write permissions.
2699 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2700 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2702 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2705 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2707 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2709 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2710 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2712 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2713 message contains valid character set.
2715 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2716 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2718 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2719 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2721 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2722 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2723 between an encoded word and normal text.
2725 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2726 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2728 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2729 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2731 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2734 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2735 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2738 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2739 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2741 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2742 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2744 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2746 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Released nmh-0.20.
2750 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2752 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2754 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2755 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2756 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2758 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2759 and the To: line was missing.
2761 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2763 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2765 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2767 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2768 watch the POP transaction.
2770 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2771 first, and use it if available.
2773 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2774 first, and use it if available.
2776 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2780 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2781 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2782 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2785 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2786 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2787 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2789 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2790 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2793 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2795 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2796 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2798 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2800 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2801 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2803 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2804 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2805 message to which you are replying.
2807 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2808 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2809 making group replies.
2811 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2813 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2815 * Released nmh-0.19.
2817 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2818 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2820 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2821 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2822 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2823 to the end of the man page.
2825 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2826 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2827 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2828 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2829 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2830 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2832 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2835 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2836 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2837 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2839 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2840 the next available number above the message number you wish
2843 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2844 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2846 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2847 file sbr/seq_print.c
2849 * flist will now update the current folder.
2851 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2852 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2853 but now undocumented.
2855 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2858 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2859 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2861 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2863 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2864 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2866 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * Released nmh-0.18.
2870 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2871 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2872 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2874 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2875 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2877 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2878 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2879 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2880 previous public/private status.
2882 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2885 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2888 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2889 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2890 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2892 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2893 take option to determine whether it should get current
2894 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2895 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2897 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2899 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2900 wait for stopped processes.
2902 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2903 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2905 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2907 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2909 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2910 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2912 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2913 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2915 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2916 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2917 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2918 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2920 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2923 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2926 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2928 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2929 the debugging output.
2931 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2932 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2934 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2936 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2938 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2939 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2941 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2943 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2944 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2945 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2946 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2947 in the given sequence.
2949 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2950 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2951 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2952 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2953 subdirectories of a given directory.
2955 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2956 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2957 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2959 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2960 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2962 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2964 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2967 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2968 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2969 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2971 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2972 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2973 are calculated at runtime.
2975 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2979 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2980 about checking for global mh.profile.
2982 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2983 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2984 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2985 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2986 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2987 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2989 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2990 adding message to folder itself.
2992 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2993 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2994 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2997 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2998 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
3001 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
3002 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
3003 is the same as the direct smtp code).
3005 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
3006 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
3008 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
3009 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
3010 code to use it yet).
3012 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3014 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
3016 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
3017 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
3019 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
3020 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
3022 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
3024 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
3027 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3029 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3031 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3033 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3035 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3036 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3038 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3040 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3042 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3044 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3046 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3048 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3049 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3051 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3052 configuration files.
3054 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
3056 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Released nmh-0.17.
3060 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3062 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3063 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3065 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3068 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3069 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3071 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3072 number of refiled message.
3074 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3076 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3077 for return value of wait().
3079 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3081 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3083 * Released nmh-0.16.
3085 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3087 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3089 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3090 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3091 deal with binary messages, yet).
3093 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3095 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3097 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3098 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3099 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3100 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3101 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3102 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3104 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3105 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3107 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3108 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3110 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3111 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3114 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3116 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3118 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3119 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3122 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3125 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3127 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3128 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3129 which used unsigned chars by default.
3131 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3133 * Released nmh-0.15.
3135 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
3136 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
3138 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
3140 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3142 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3145 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3146 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3147 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3149 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3150 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3152 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3154 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3155 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3157 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3158 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3159 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3160 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3162 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3163 and put in own subroutine.
3165 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3166 and put in own subroutine.
3168 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3169 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3170 refile.c to use new routine.
3172 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3174 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3176 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3179 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3180 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3181 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3183 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3186 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3187 adding message to sequence.
3189 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3190 corresponding file in sbr.
3192 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3195 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3197 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3198 all selected messages from a sequence.
3200 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3201 selected messages to a sequence.
3203 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3206 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3208 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3209 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3211 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3213 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
3214 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.

3223 * Released nmh-0.14.
3225 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3226 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3228 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3230 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3231 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3232 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3233 environment variable.
3235 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3236 draft folder facility in nmh.
3238 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3241 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3245 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
3248 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * Released nmh-0.13.
3252 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3253 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3254 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3255 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3258 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3259 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3261 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3263 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3264 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3266 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3268 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3269 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
3271 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3273 * Released nmh-0.12.
3275 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
3277 * Released nmh-0.11.
3279 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3281 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
3282 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3284 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3285 mp->attrstats with macros.
3287 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3290 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3293 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3294 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3296 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3297 will suppress the display of the message header.
3299 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3301 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3302 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3304 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3306 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3308 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3310 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3311 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3313 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3314 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3316 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3318 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3320 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3321 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3323 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3324 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3326 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3328 * Released nmh-0.10.
3330 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3335 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3337 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3338 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3340 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3341 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3343 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3344 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3346 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3348 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3349 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3351 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3354 of missing tabs in regex.
3356 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3358 * Released nmh-0.09.
3360 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
3362 * Add configure check for killpg.
3364 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
3367 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
3369 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3371 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
3374 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3376 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3378 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3379 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3381 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3383 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3384 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3386 * Released nmh-0.08.
3388 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3389 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3390 locking database itself.
3392 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3394 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3396 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3397 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3400 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3401 rather than mmdf format.
3403 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3404 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3405 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3406 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3408 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3410 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3412 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3415 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3416 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3417 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3419 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3420 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3421 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3423 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3425 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3426 can still easily change this in config.h).
3428 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3429 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3430 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3432 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3434 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3435 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3437 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3439 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
3441 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
3444 * Released nmh-0.07.
3446 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3448 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3449 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3451 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3452 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3455 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3456 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3458 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3459 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3461 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3463 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3465 * Added configure check for tzset.
3467 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3469 * Released nmh-0.06.
3471 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3472 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3474 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3475 many such machines around anymore.
3477 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3478 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3480 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3481 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3483 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3485 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3486 pre-generated version if necessary.
3488 * Released nmh-0.05.
3490 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3491 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3492 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3493 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3495 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3496 be linked in one pass.
3498 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3500 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3501 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3503 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3505 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3507 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3509 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3510 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3511 become the current folder.
3513 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3515 * Released nmh-0.04.
3517 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3520 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3522 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3523 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3524 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3526 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3528 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3529 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3531 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3533 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3534 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3537 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3538 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3540 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3542 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3543 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3544 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3545 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3546 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3547 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3549 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3551 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3552 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3554 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3555 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3557 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3559 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3560 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3562 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3564 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3565 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3566 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3568 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3570 * Released nmh-0.03.
3572 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3573 .mh_sequence file existed.
3575 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3576 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3578 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3579 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3582 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3584 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3587 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3589 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3590 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3591 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3593 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3595 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3596 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3597 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3599 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3601 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3602 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3604 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3606 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3608 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3609 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3610 directory from where the source code is located.
3612 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3614 * Released nmh-0.02.
3616 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3618 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3621 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3623 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3624 and sys_nerr directly.
3626 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3628 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3630 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3632 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3634 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3635 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3636 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3637 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3638 rather than in script.
3640 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3642 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3644 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3645 macro defined on Solaris.
3647 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3649 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3650 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3652 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3653 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3654 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3655 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3658 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3660 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3661 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3663 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3666 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3668 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3670 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3671 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3673 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3675 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3676 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3678 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3680 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3681 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3682 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3683 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3684 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3685 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3687 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3689 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3691 * Released nmh-0.01.
3693 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3694 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3695 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3698 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3700 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3703 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3705 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3706 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3708 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3710 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3711 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3712 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3713 script to find_program.
3715 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3717 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3718 speed up -recurse option.
3720 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3721 yet, but it compiles :-)
3723 * Changed default location for install to
3724 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3725 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3726 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3729 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3730 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3731 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
