1 2008-05-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
3 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
4 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
5 This allows users to masquerade with the default
6 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
7 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
8 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
9 etc/mts.conf. (Ported from trunk.)
11 2008-05-20 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
13 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $<
14 in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only
15 defined in inference rules. (Ported from trunk.)
17 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
19 * Released nmh-1.3 RC2.
21 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
23 * Fixes ported from trunk:
25 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
26 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
27 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
28 ruserpass() has a void return type.
30 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
31 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
32 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
33 provide memmove() substitute implementation
35 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
36 source directory' feature
38 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
39 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
41 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
43 * Fixes ported from trunk:
45 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
46 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
47 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
50 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
51 is the wrong approach.
53 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
54 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
55 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
58 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
59 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
60 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
61 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
62 broken for continued lines from the server.
64 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
66 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
68 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
70 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
72 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
74 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
75 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
76 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
77 obsolete feature of autoconf
79 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
81 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
82 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
83 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
85 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
87 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
88 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
90 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
92 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
95 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
97 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
98 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
99 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
100 following done() (should never be reached).
102 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
104 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
105 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
107 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
109 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
110 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
112 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
114 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
115 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
116 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
117 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
118 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
119 acconfig.h if you must.
121 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
123 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
124 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
125 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
126 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
128 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
130 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
133 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
135 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
136 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
137 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
138 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
139 have Content-Disposition.
141 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
143 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
146 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
148 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
149 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
151 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
153 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
154 encoded block is empty
156 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
158 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
159 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
160 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
163 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
165 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
166 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
169 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
171 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
172 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
173 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
174 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
177 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
178 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
180 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
182 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
183 function num_digits into utils.c
185 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
187 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
188 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
189 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
191 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
193 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
194 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
195 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
196 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
197 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
198 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
199 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
200 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
202 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
204 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
205 Content-Disposition header.
207 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
209 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
210 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
211 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
212 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
213 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
214 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
215 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
216 users to easily accomodate that by adding
217 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
219 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
221 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
222 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
224 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
226 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
228 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
229 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
231 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
232 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
234 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
236 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
237 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
238 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
239 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
240 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
243 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
245 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
246 widths, restoring right justification feature
248 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
250 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
251 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
252 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
254 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
257 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
259 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
260 handling multi column characters.
262 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
264 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
266 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
268 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
269 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
272 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
274 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
276 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
278 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
281 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
283 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
286 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
288 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
289 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
290 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
291 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
293 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
295 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
296 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
297 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
298 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
299 where configure's autodetection fails.
301 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
303 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
304 configure script change.
306 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
308 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
309 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
310 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
313 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
315 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
316 the context is only read once.
318 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
320 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
321 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
323 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
325 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
326 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
328 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
329 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
332 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
333 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
336 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
338 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
339 vi isn't found during build.
341 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
343 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
344 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
346 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
347 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
348 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
350 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
352 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
353 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
355 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
356 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
357 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
358 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
361 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
362 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
363 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
365 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
366 entry in the context file.
368 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
370 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
371 problems on some systems
373 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
374 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
376 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
378 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
379 sendmail isn't found during build.
381 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
383 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
385 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
387 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
388 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
390 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
391 references to the web page and mailing list locations
393 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
394 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
396 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
399 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
401 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
402 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
403 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
405 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
406 was configured with --enable-apop.
408 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
409 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
410 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
412 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
413 new versions of flex.
415 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
416 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
417 doesn't guess wrongly.
419 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
421 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
422 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
424 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
425 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
427 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
428 files with numbers as names
430 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
432 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
434 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
436 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
438 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
439 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
441 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
443 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
446 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
447 test/report error writing to stdout
449 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
451 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
453 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
454 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
455 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
457 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
458 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
459 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
461 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
463 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
464 character set used by the current locale
466 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
467 message's filename overflows an int when converted
469 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
470 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
472 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
474 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
477 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
479 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
480 from Michael Richardson.
482 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
483 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
485 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
487 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
488 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
490 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
492 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
493 find sub-parts of the specified part
495 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
497 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
498 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
499 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
500 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
501 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
502 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
503 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
506 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
508 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
509 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
510 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
513 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
514 refiling with -src option.
516 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
518 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
520 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
522 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
523 mailpath being overwritten.
525 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
527 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
528 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
529 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
530 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
531 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
532 reinitializes the tmp file string.
534 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
535 if a format string was read from the profile.
537 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
538 path for the external hook.
540 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
542 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
543 another location for ndbm.
545 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
547 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
549 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
551 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
554 136976 - Handle binary content messages
555 143427 - mh-format.man typo
556 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
557 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
558 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
559 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
560 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
561 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
562 181867 - typo for nmh.man
564 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
566 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
567 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
568 contitional code which will result in cached data to
569 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
570 and parse on the first use.
571 * Remove some unused flag bits.
573 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
575 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
576 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
578 #578 - repl leaks umask
579 #1393 - sortm core dumps
580 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
581 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
582 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
584 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
585 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
587 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
589 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
590 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
592 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
594 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
595 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
596 to docs/README.about.
598 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
600 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
602 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
603 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
604 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
605 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
608 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
610 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
611 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
612 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
613 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
614 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
615 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
618 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
619 summary configure prints out.
621 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
622 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
623 subjectively more readable) format.
625 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
627 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
630 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
632 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
633 19xx when it's not necessary.
635 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
637 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
638 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
641 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
642 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
643 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
644 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
645 the man pages correctly.
647 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
649 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
651 * Finished manpages ali-prev
653 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
654 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
655 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
658 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
659 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
660 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
661 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
663 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
665 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
666 the formatting rules I've been using.
670 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
672 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
673 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
674 used in the manpages.
676 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
677 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
678 read in the contents of the file as the variable
681 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
682 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
683 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
684 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
685 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
686 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
687 bold flags and italicized parameters.
689 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
691 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
692 --with-locking option.
694 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
695 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
696 information was not being communicated to the
697 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
698 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
699 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
700 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
701 undefined symbols problems.
703 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
704 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
705 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
706 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
707 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
708 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
709 for a genuine krb4 installation.
711 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
713 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
714 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
716 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
718 * Made a new ./configure option called
719 "--with-locking" that allows the file
720 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
721 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
723 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
724 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
725 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
726 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
727 the user that these are the valid options, and
728 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
731 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
733 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
734 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
735 committed to supporting flex only, since
736 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
737 string, as well as other problems documented
738 below and on nmh-workers.
740 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
741 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
742 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
745 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
746 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
748 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
750 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
751 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
752 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
754 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
756 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
757 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
759 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
761 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
762 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
763 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
764 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
765 couldn't correctly identify them.
767 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
769 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
770 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
771 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
772 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
773 not depending on an external archive.
775 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
776 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
777 mts/generic is no longer built.
779 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
781 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
782 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
783 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
784 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
785 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
786 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
787 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
788 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
790 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
792 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
793 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
796 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
798 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
799 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
800 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
803 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
804 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
805 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
806 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
808 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
809 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
810 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
811 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
812 merged into the smtp code).
814 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
815 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
816 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
819 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
820 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
821 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
822 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
823 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
824 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
825 in the appropriate Makefile.in
827 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
829 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
830 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
831 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
832 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
833 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
834 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
835 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
836 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
837 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
838 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
839 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
841 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
843 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
844 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
845 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
846 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
847 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
848 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
849 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
850 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
851 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
853 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
855 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
856 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
859 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
861 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
862 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
864 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
866 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
867 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
868 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
869 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
871 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
873 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
874 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
875 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
876 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
877 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
879 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
880 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
882 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
884 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
887 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
888 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
889 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
891 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
892 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
893 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
894 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
896 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
897 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
898 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
899 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
901 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
902 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
903 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
905 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
907 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
908 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
909 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
910 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
911 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
912 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
915 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
916 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
918 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
919 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
921 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
923 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
925 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
927 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
928 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
929 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
930 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
932 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
934 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
935 be easily changed from "," to "#".
937 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
939 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
941 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
942 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
945 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
947 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
948 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
949 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
950 but not for the subsequent data stream.
952 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
954 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
955 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
956 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
957 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
958 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
960 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
962 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
963 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
965 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
966 cat, also define lorder as echo.
968 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
970 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
972 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
973 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
974 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
976 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
978 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
981 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
982 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
984 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
986 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
987 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
989 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
991 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
992 inc does not need to be setgid.
994 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
996 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
997 library, as found on Debian systems.
999 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1001 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1003 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1004 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1005 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1006 case-insensitivity flag.
1008 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1010 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1011 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1013 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1015 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1016 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1017 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1018 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1019 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1020 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1021 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1022 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1023 getting moved aside).
1025 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1026 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1028 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1030 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1031 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1032 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1033 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1034 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1035 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1036 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1037 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1038 the prototype, but never sets it.
1040 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1041 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1042 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1043 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1044 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1045 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1047 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1048 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1049 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1050 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1051 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1053 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1055 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1056 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1059 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1060 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1061 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1062 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1063 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1064 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1065 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1067 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1069 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1071 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1072 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1073 this works on other systems.
1075 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1077 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1078 checks for write failures.
1080 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1082 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1084 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1087 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1089 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1091 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1093 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1094 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1097 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1099 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1100 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1101 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1102 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1104 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1106 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1107 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1110 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1111 as well as Makefiles.
1113 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1115 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1116 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1117 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1118 should make maintainability easier.
1120 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1121 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1122 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1123 whatever you know works.
1125 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1127 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1128 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1129 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1131 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1132 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1133 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1134 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1136 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1137 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1138 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1140 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1141 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1142 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1143 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1144 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1146 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1147 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1148 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1149 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1150 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1151 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1152 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1153 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1154 from the BSD version.
1156 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1157 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1158 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1160 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1161 in ruserpass.c also.
1163 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1166 This happens on solaris:
1169 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1170 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1174 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1176 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1177 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1179 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1181 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1182 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1183 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1184 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1185 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1186 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1187 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1188 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1189 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1190 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1191 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1193 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1194 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1195 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1196 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1197 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1198 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1201 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1202 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1203 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1204 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1205 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1207 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1208 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1210 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1212 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1213 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1214 to stdin, such as exmh.
1216 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1217 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1218 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1221 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1223 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1224 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1225 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1226 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1227 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1228 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1229 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1231 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1233 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1234 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1236 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1238 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1239 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1241 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1243 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1246 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1247 along with any -host or -user option.
1249 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1251 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1253 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1254 process was fresh in my mind.
1256 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1258 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1259 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1261 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1263 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1268 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1269 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1270 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1271 part of the program's name.
1273 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1274 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1277 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1279 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1280 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1281 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1282 single-character format would cause programs using this
1283 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1284 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1285 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1286 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1289 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1291 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1292 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1293 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1294 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1295 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1296 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1298 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1299 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1300 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1301 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1302 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1303 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1304 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1305 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1307 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1308 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1309 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1310 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1311 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1312 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1313 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1314 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1315 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1316 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1318 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1320 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1321 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1323 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1324 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1326 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1331 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1333 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1334 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1335 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1336 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1338 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1339 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1340 problem in the routine.
1342 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1344 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1345 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1347 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1348 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1349 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1352 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1354 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1355 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1356 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1357 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1358 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1359 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1360 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1361 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1362 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1363 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1365 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1367 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1368 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1369 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1370 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1371 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1372 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1373 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1374 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1375 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1376 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1377 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1378 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1380 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1381 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1382 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1383 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1384 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1386 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1389 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1391 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1392 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1393 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1394 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1397 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1399 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1401 * Applied, after some finessing,
1402 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1404 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1406 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1408 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1409 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1410 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1411 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1413 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1415 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1416 forgetting to do so!).
1418 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1419 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1420 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1421 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1422 arguments to enable all three types.
1424 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1425 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1427 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1428 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1429 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1430 updated copy of mts.conf.
1432 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1434 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1435 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1436 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1438 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1440 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1442 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1443 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1444 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1446 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1447 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1448 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1450 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1451 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1452 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1454 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1456 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1458 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1460 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1462 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1463 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1465 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1466 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1467 certain suffix to run properly.
1469 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1470 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1471 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1473 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1474 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1475 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1476 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1477 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1478 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1479 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1481 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1483 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1484 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1485 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1486 until some year far in the future).
1488 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1490 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1492 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1493 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1495 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1496 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1499 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1501 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1502 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1503 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1504 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1505 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1506 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1508 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1510 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1512 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1513 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1514 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1516 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1517 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1518 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1519 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1520 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1521 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1524 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1525 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1526 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1527 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1528 of masquerading individually.
1530 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1531 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1532 GECOS field delimiters.
1534 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1536 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1537 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1538 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1539 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1540 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1541 and explaining the feature.
1543 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1545 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1546 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1549 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1550 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1551 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1553 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1554 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1555 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1556 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1558 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1559 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1560 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1563 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1565 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1566 code to be executed.
1568 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1570 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1572 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1573 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1574 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1575 quotes embedded in them.
1577 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1579 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1580 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1581 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1582 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1583 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1584 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1585 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1588 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1589 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1590 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1591 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1592 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1594 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1596 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1598 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1599 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1600 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1601 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1603 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1606 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1608 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1610 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1612 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1613 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1614 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1616 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1619 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1621 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1622 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1623 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1624 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1625 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1626 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1628 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1629 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1631 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1633 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1636 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1638 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1639 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1640 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1643 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1644 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1645 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1646 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1647 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1648 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1649 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1650 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1651 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1652 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1653 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1654 processing that post has).
1656 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1658 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1659 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1660 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1661 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1662 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1663 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1666 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1668 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1670 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1672 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1674 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1675 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1677 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1680 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1682 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1683 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1684 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1687 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1689 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1690 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1691 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1692 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1693 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1694 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1696 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1698 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1700 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1702 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1703 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1704 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1705 caught again. This works for now.
1707 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1709 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1711 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1712 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1714 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1716 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1717 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1719 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1721 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1723 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1725 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1726 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1728 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1730 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1731 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1732 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1733 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1734 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1737 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1739 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1740 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1741 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1743 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1744 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1747 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1749 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1750 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1751 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1753 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1755 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1756 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1758 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1760 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1763 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1764 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1766 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1767 macros, regardless of platform.
1769 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1770 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1772 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1773 with x-conversions=gzip.
1775 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1777 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1780 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1781 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1782 implicit definition of ioctl().
1784 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1785 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1786 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1787 want to mess with them.
1789 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1791 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1792 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1794 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1795 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1797 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1798 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1799 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1801 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1802 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1803 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1805 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1806 function initgroups.
1808 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1811 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1812 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1815 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1816 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1819 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1820 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1824 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1826 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1827 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1828 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1830 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1831 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1833 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1835 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1837 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1838 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1839 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1840 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1842 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1843 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1845 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1847 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1849 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1851 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1852 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1854 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1856 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1857 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1859 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1860 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1861 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1862 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1864 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1865 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1867 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1869 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1870 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1872 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1874 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1875 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1878 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1880 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1882 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1884 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1885 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1887 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1888 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1889 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1891 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1892 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1893 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1895 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1896 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1897 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1899 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1900 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1903 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1904 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1906 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1907 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1909 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1910 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1912 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1913 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1914 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1916 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1917 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1919 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1920 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1921 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1923 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1924 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1927 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1928 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1930 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1931 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1932 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1933 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1935 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1936 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1938 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1942 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1943 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1944 would not be changed.
1946 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1947 one from the Apache web server.
1949 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1950 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1952 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1953 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1954 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1956 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1958 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1960 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1961 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1964 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1965 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1966 removes a bad race condition.
1968 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1971 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1972 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1973 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1975 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1976 sequence information.
1978 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1979 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1981 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1984 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1987 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1989 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1990 interpret 034 as octal.
1992 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1994 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1995 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1997 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1998 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2000 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2001 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2003 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2004 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2006 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2007 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2009 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2010 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2011 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2013 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2014 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2015 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2017 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2019 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2021 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2022 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2025 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2027 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2028 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2030 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2031 header field information.
2033 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2034 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2036 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2037 values when parsing a content.
2039 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2040 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2042 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2043 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2045 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2046 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2048 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2049 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2051 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2053 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2055 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2057 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2059 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2060 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2063 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2064 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2066 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2067 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2068 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2069 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2070 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2071 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2074 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2076 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2077 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2078 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2080 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2081 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2083 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2085 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2086 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2087 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2088 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2090 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2091 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2094 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2095 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2096 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2097 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2100 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2102 * Released nmh-0.27.
2104 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2105 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2107 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2108 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2109 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2110 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2113 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2114 mhbuild returns an error.
2116 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2117 rename the draft file.
2119 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2120 use a global variable.
2122 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2123 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2125 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2126 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2128 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2129 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2130 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2132 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2133 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2135 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2136 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2139 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2140 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2143 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2144 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2146 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2147 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2148 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2150 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2151 to new function output_content_folder.
2153 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2154 new function output_content_file.
2156 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2157 to new function parse_format_string.
2159 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2160 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2161 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2162 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2164 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2165 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2166 message/external file from ftp.
2168 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2169 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2170 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2172 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2173 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2176 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2179 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2180 new file mhstoresbr.c
2182 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2185 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2186 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2188 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2189 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2191 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2192 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2193 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2195 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2197 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2199 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2200 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2203 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2204 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2206 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2209 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2211 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2213 * Released nmh-0.26.
2215 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2216 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2217 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2218 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2220 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2221 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2222 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2223 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2224 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2226 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2227 But it is not on by default.
2229 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2230 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2232 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2234 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2236 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2238 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2240 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2241 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2243 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Released nmh-0.25.
2247 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2248 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2249 uses the original name of the library.
2251 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2252 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2255 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2256 list_content and list_debug.
2258 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2260 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2261 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2263 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.24.
2267 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2269 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2270 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2272 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2273 large sequence line.
2275 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2277 * Released nmh-0.23.
2279 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2281 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2282 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2283 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2284 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2286 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2287 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2290 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2292 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2294 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2296 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2297 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2299 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2300 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2302 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2303 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2305 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2306 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2308 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2310 * Released nmh-0.22.
2312 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2313 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2315 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2317 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2318 mh-profile(5) man page.
2320 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2321 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2323 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2325 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2327 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2328 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2330 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2332 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2333 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2334 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2336 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2337 source message on the standard input.
2339 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2341 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2342 rather than -rfc934mode.
2344 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2345 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2348 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2349 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2351 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2354 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2356 * Released nmh-0.21.
2358 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2359 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2361 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2364 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2365 to use for text contents.
2367 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2369 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2371 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2373 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2375 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2376 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2378 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2379 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2380 spaces between encoded word are.
2382 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2384 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2385 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2387 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2388 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2389 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2391 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2393 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2394 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2396 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2398 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2400 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2401 ISO-8859-X character set.
2403 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2406 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2407 permissions, not write permissions.
2409 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2410 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2412 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2415 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2417 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2419 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2420 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2422 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2423 message contains valid character set.
2425 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2426 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2428 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2429 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2431 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2432 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2433 between an encoded word and normal text.
2435 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2436 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2438 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2439 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2441 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2444 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2445 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2448 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2449 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2451 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2452 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2454 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2456 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2458 * Released nmh-0.20.
2460 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2462 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2464 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2465 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2466 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2468 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2469 and the To: line was missing.
2471 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2473 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2475 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2477 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2478 watch the POP transaction.
2480 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2481 first, and use it if available.
2483 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2484 first, and use it if available.
2486 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2488 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2490 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2491 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2492 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2495 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2496 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2497 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2499 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2500 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2503 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2505 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2506 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2508 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2510 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2511 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2513 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2514 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2515 message to which you are replying.
2517 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2518 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2519 making group replies.
2521 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2523 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Released nmh-0.19.
2527 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2528 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2530 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2531 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2532 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2533 to the end of the man page.
2535 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2536 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2537 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2538 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2539 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2540 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2542 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2545 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2546 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2547 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2549 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2550 the next available number above the message number you wish
2553 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2554 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2556 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2557 file sbr/seq_print.c
2559 * flist will now update the current folder.
2561 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2562 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2563 but now undocumented.
2565 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2568 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2569 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2571 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2573 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2574 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2576 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2578 * Released nmh-0.18.
2580 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2581 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2582 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2584 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2585 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2587 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2588 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2589 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2590 previous public/private status.
2592 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2595 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2598 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2599 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2600 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2602 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2603 take option to determine whether it should get current
2604 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2605 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2607 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2609 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2610 wait for stopped processes.
2612 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2613 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2615 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2617 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2619 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2620 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2622 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2623 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2625 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2626 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2627 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2628 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2630 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2633 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2636 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2638 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2639 the debugging output.
2641 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2642 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2644 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2646 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2648 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2649 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2651 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2653 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2654 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2655 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2656 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2657 in the given sequence.
2659 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2660 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2661 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2662 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2663 subdirectories of a given directory.
2665 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2666 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2667 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2669 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2670 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2672 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2674 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2677 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2678 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2679 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2681 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2682 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2683 are calculated at runtime.
2685 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2687 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2689 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2690 about checking for global mh.profile.
2692 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2693 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2694 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2695 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2696 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2697 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2699 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2700 adding message to folder itself.
2702 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2703 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2704 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2707 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2708 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2711 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2712 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2713 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2715 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2716 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2718 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2719 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2720 code to use it yet).
2722 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2724 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2726 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2727 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2729 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2730 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2732 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2734 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2737 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2741 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2743 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2745 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2746 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2748 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2750 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2752 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2754 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2756 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2758 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2759 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2761 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2762 configuration files.
2764 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2766 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2768 * Released nmh-0.17.
2770 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2772 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2773 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2775 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2778 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2779 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2781 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2782 number of refiled message.
2784 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2786 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2787 for return value of wait().
2789 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2791 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2793 * Released nmh-0.16.
2795 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2799 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2800 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2801 deal with binary messages, yet).
2803 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2805 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2807 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2808 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2809 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2810 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2811 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2812 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2814 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2815 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2817 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2818 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2820 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2821 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2824 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2826 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2828 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2829 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2832 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2835 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2837 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2838 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2839 which used unsigned chars by default.
2841 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Released nmh-0.15.
2845 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2846 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.

2850 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2852 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2855 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2856 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2857 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2859 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2860 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2862 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2864 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2865 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2867 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2868 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2869 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2870 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2872 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2873 and put in own subroutine.
2875 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2876 and put in own subroutine.
2878 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2879 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2880 refile.c to use new routine.

2884 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2886 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2889 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2890 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2891 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2893 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2896 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2897 adding message to sequence.

2900 corresponding file in sbr.
2902 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2905 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2907 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2908 all selected messages from a sequence.
2910 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2911 selected messages to a sequence.
2913 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2916 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2918 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2919 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2921 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2923 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2960 * Released nmh-0.13.
2962 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2963 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2964 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2965 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2968 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2969 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2971 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2973 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2974 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2976 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2978 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3003 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3004 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3006 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3007 will suppress the display of the message header.
3009 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3011 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3012 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3014 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3016 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3018 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3020 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3021 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3023 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3024 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3026 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3028 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3030 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3031 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3033 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3034 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3036 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Released nmh-0.10.

3045 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3047 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3048 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3050 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3051 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3053 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3054 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3056 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3059 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3061 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3064 of missing tabs in regex.

3091 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3093 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3094 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3096 * Released nmh-0.08.
3098 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3099 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3100 locking database itself.
3102 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3104 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3106 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3107 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3110 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3111 rather than mmdf format.
3113 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3114 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3115 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3116 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3118 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3120 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3122 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3125 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3126 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3127 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3129 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3130 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3131 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3133 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3136 can still easily change this in config.h).
3138 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3139 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3140 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3142 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3144 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3156 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3158 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3159 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3161 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3162 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3165 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3166 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3179 * Released nmh-0.06.
3181 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3182 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3184 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3185 many such machines around anymore.
3187 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3188 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3190 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3191 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3193 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3195 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3196 pre-generated version if necessary.
3198 * Released nmh-0.05.
3200 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3201 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3202 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3203 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3205 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3206 be linked in one pass.
3208 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3210 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3211 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3213 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3215 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3217 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3219 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3220 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3221 become the current folder.
3223 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3225 * Released nmh-0.04.
3227 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3230 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3232 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3233 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3234 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3236 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3238 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3239 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3241 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3243 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3244 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3247 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3248 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3250 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3252 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3253 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3254 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3255 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3256 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3257 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3259 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3261 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3262 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3264 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3265 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3267 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3269 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3270 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3272 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3274 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3275 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3276 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3278 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3280 * Released nmh-0.03.
3282 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3283 .mh_sequence file existed.
3285 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3286 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3288 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3289 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3292 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3294 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3297 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3300 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3301 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3303 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3306 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3307 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3309 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3311 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3312 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3314 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3316 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3318 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3319 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3320 directory from where the source code is located.
3322 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * Released nmh-0.02.

3334 and sys_nerr directly.
3336 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3338 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3340 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3342 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3344 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3345 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3346 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3347 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3348 rather than in script.
3350 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3352 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3354 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3355 macro defined on Solaris.

3359 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3360 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3362 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3363 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3364 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3365 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3368 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3370 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3371 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3373 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3376 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3378 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3380 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3381 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3383 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3385 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3386 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3388 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3390 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3391 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3392 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3393 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3394 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3395 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3397 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
