4 sendmail isn't found during build.
6 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
10 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
12 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
13 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
15 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
16 references to the web page and mailing list locations
18 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
19 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
21 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
24 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
27 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
28 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
30 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
31 was configured with --enable-apop.
33 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
34 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
35 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
37 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
40 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
41 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
42 doesn't guess wrongly.
44 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
46 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
47 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
49 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
50 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
52 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
53 files with numbers as names
55 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
57 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
59 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
61 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
63 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
64 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
66 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
68 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
71 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
72 test/report error writing to stdout
74 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
76 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
78 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
79 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
80 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
82 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
83 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
84 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
86 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
88 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
89 character set used by the current locale
91 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
92 message's filename overflows an int when converted
94 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
95 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
97 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
99 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
102 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
104 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
105 from Michael Richardson.
107 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
108 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
110 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
112 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
113 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
115 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
117 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
118 find sub-parts of the specified part
120 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
122 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
123 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
124 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
125 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
126 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
127 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
128 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
131 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
133 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
134 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
135 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
138 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
139 refiling with -src option.
141 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
143 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
145 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
147 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
148 mailpath being overwritten.
150 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
152 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
153 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
154 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
155 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
156 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
157 reinitializes the tmp file string.
159 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
160 if a format string was read from the profile.
162 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
163 path for the external hook.
165 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
167 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
168 another location for ndbm.
170 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
172 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
174 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
176 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
179 136976 - Handle binary content messages
180 143427 - mh-format.man typo
181 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
182 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
183 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
184 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
185 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
186 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
187 181867 - typo for nmh.man
189 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
191 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
192 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
193 contitional code which will result in cached data to
194 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
195 and parse on the first use.
196 * Remove some unused flag bits.
198 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
200 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
201 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
203 #578 - repl leaks umask
204 #1393 - sortm core dumps
205 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
206 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
207 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
209 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
210 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
212 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
214 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
215 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
217 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
219 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
220 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
221 to docs/README.about.
223 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
225 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
227 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
228 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
229 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
230 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
233 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
235 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
236 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
237 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
238 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
239 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
240 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
243 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
244 summary configure prints out.
246 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
247 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
248 subjectively more readable) format.
250 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
252 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
255 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
257 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
258 19xx when it's not necessary.
260 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
262 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
263 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
266 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
267 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
268 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
269 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
270 the man pages correctly.
272 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
274 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
276 * Finished manpages ali-prev
278 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
279 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
280 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
283 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
284 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
285 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
286 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
288 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
290 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
291 the formatting rules I've been using.
295 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
297 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
298 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
299 used in the manpages.
301 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
302 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
303 read in the contents of the file as the variable
306 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
307 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
308 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
309 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
310 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
311 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
312 bold flags and italicized parameters.
314 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
316 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
317 --with-locking option.
319 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
320 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
321 information was not being communicated to the
322 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
323 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
324 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
325 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
326 undefined symbols problems.
328 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
329 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
330 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
331 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
332 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
333 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
334 for a genuine krb4 installation.
336 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
338 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
339 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
341 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
343 * Made a new ./configure option called
344 "--with-locking" that allows the file
345 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
346 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
348 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
349 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
350 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
351 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
352 the user that these are the valid options, and
353 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
356 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
358 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
359 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
360 committed to supporting flex only, since
361 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
362 string, as well as other problems documented
363 below and on nmh-workers.
365 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
366 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
367 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
370 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
371 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
373 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
375 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
376 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
377 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
379 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
381 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
382 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
384 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
386 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
387 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
388 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
389 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
390 couldn't correctly identify them.
392 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
394 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
395 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
396 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
397 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
398 not depending on an external archive.
400 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
401 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
402 mts/generic is no longer built.
404 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
406 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
407 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
408 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
409 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
410 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
411 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
412 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
413 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
415 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
417 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
418 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
421 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
423 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
424 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
425 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
428 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
429 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
430 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
431 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
433 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
434 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
435 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
436 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
437 merged into the smtp code).
439 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
440 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
441 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
444 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
445 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
446 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
447 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
448 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
449 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
450 in the appropriate Makefile.in
452 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
454 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
455 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
456 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
457 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
458 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
459 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
460 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
461 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
462 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
463 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
464 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
466 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
468 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
469 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
470 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
471 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
472 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
473 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
474 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
475 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
476 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
478 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
480 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
481 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
484 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
486 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
487 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
489 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
491 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
492 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
493 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
494 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
496 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
498 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
499 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
500 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
501 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
502 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
504 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
505 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
507 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
509 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
511 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
512 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
513 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
514 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
516 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
517 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
518 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
519 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
521 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
522 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
523 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
524 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
526 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
527 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
528 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
530 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
532 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
533 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
534 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
535 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
536 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
537 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
540 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
541 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
543 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
544 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
546 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
548 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
550 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
552 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
553 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
554 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
555 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
557 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
559 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
560 be easily changed from "," to "#".
562 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
564 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
566 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
567 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
570 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
572 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
573 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
574 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
575 but not for the subsequent data stream.
577 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
579 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
580 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
581 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
582 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
583 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
585 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
587 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
588 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
590 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
591 cat, also define lorder as echo.
593 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
595 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
597 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
598 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
599 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
601 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
603 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
606 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
607 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
609 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
611 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
612 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
614 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
616 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
617 inc does not need to be setgid.
619 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
621 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
622 library, as found on Debian systems.
624 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
626 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
628 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
629 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
630 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
631 case-insensitivity flag.
633 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
635 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
636 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
638 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
640 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
641 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
642 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
643 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
644 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
645 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
646 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
647 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
648 getting moved aside).
650 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
651 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
653 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
655 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
656 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
657 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
658 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
659 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
660 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
661 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
662 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
663 the prototype, but never sets it.
665 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
666 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
667 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
668 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
669 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
670 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
672 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
673 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
674 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
675 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
676 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
678 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
680 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
681 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
684 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
685 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
686 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
687 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
688 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
689 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
690 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
692 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
694 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
696 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
697 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
698 this works on other systems.
700 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
702 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
703 checks for write failures.
705 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
707 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
709 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
712 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
714 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
716 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
718 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
719 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
722 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
724 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
725 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
726 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
727 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
729 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
731 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
732 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
735 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
736 as well as Makefiles.
738 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
740 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
741 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
742 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
743 should make maintainability easier.
745 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
746 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
747 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
748 whatever you know works.
750 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
752 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
753 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
754 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
756 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
757 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
758 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
759 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
761 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
762 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
763 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
765 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
766 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
767 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
768 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
769 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
771 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
772 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
773 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
774 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
775 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
776 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
777 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
778 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
779 from the BSD version.
781 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
782 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
783 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
785 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
788 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
791 This happens on solaris:
794 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
795 No manual entry for mts.conf.
799 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
801 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
802 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
804 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
806 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
807 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
808 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
809 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
810 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
811 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
812 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
813 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
814 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
815 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
816 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
818 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
819 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
820 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
821 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
822 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
823 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
826 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
827 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
828 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
829 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
830 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
832 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
833 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
835 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
837 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
838 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
839 to stdin, such as exmh.
841 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
842 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
843 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
846 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
848 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
849 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
850 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
851 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
852 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
853 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
854 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
856 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
858 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
859 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
861 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
863 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
864 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
866 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
868 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
871 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
872 along with any -host or -user option.
874 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
876 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
878 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
879 process was fresh in my mind.
881 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
884 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
886 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
888 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
890 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
893 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
894 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
895 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
896 part of the program's name.
898 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
899 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
902 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
904 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
905 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
906 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
907 single-character format would cause programs using this
908 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
909 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
910 when the format string was one character. This eventually
911 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
914 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
916 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
917 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
918 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
919 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
920 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
921 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
923 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
924 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
925 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
926 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
927 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
928 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
929 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
930 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
932 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
933 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
934 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
935 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
936 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
937 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
938 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
939 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
940 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
941 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
943 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
945 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
946 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
948 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
949 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
951 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
956 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
958 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
959 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
960 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
961 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
963 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
964 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
965 problem in the routine.
967 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
969 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
970 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
972 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
973 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
974 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
977 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
979 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
980 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
981 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
982 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
983 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
984 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
985 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
986 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
987 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
988 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
990 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
992 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
993 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
994 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
995 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
996 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
997 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
998 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
999 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1000 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1001 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1002 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1003 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1005 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1006 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1007 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1008 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1009 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1011 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1014 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1016 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1017 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1018 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1019 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1022 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1024 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1026 * Applied, after some finessing,
1027 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1029 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1031 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1033 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1034 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1035 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1036 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1038 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1040 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1041 forgetting to do so!).
1043 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1044 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1045 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1046 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1047 arguments to enable all three types.
1049 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1050 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1052 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1053 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1054 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1055 updated copy of mts.conf.
1057 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1059 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1060 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1061 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1063 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1065 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1067 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1068 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1069 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1071 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1072 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1073 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1075 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1076 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1077 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1079 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1081 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1083 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1085 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1087 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1088 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1090 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1091 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1092 certain suffix to run properly.
1094 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1095 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1096 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1098 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1099 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1100 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1101 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1102 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1103 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1104 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1106 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1108 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1109 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1110 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1111 until some year far in the future).
1113 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1115 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1117 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1118 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1120 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1121 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1124 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1126 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1127 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1128 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1129 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1130 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1131 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1133 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1135 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1137 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1138 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1139 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1141 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1142 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1143 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1144 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1145 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1146 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1149 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1150 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1151 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1152 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1153 of masquerading individually.
1155 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1156 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1157 GECOS field delimiters.
1159 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1162 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1163 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1164 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1165 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1166 and explaining the feature.
1168 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1170 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1171 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1174 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1175 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1176 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1178 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1179 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1180 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1181 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1183 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1184 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1185 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1188 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1190 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1191 code to be executed.
1193 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1195 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1197 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1198 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1199 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1200 quotes embedded in them.
1202 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1204 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1205 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1206 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1207 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1208 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1209 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1210 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1213 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1214 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1215 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1216 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1217 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1219 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1221 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1223 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1224 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1225 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1226 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1228 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1231 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1233 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1235 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1238 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1239 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1241 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1244 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1246 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1247 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1248 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1249 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1250 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1251 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1253 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1254 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1256 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1258 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1261 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1263 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1264 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1265 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1268 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1269 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1270 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1271 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1272 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1273 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1274 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1275 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1276 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1277 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1278 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1279 processing that post has).
1281 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1283 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1284 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1285 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1286 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1287 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1288 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1291 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1293 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1295 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1297 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1299 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1300 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1302 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1305 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1308 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1309 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1312 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1314 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1315 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1316 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1317 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1318 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1319 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1321 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1323 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1325 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1327 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1328 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1329 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1330 caught again. This works for now.
1332 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1334 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1336 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1337 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1339 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1341 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1342 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1344 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1346 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1348 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1350 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1351 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1353 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1355 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1356 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1357 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1358 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1359 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1362 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1364 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1365 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1366 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1368 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1369 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1372 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1374 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1375 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1376 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1378 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1380 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1381 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1383 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1385 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1388 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1389 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1391 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1392 macros, regardless of platform.
1394 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1395 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1397 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1398 with x-conversions=gzip.
1400 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1402 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1405 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1406 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1407 implicit definition of ioctl().
1409 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1410 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1411 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1412 want to mess with them.
1414 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1416 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1417 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1419 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1420 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1422 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1423 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1424 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1426 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1427 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1428 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1430 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1431 function initgroups.
1433 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1436 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1437 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1440 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1441 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1444 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1445 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1449 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1451 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1452 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1453 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1455 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1456 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1458 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1460 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1462 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1463 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1464 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1465 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1467 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1468 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1470 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1472 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1474 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1476 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1477 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1479 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1481 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1482 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1484 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1485 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1486 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1487 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1489 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1490 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1492 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1494 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1495 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1497 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1499 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1500 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1503 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1505 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1507 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1509 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1510 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1512 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1513 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1514 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1516 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1517 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1518 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1520 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1521 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1522 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1524 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1525 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1528 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1529 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1531 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1532 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1534 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1535 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1537 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1538 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1539 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1541 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1542 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1544 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1545 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1546 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1548 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1549 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1552 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1553 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1555 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1556 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1557 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1558 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1560 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1561 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1563 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1567 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1568 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1569 would not be changed.
1571 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1572 one from the Apache web server.
1574 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1575 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1577 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1578 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1579 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1581 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1583 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1585 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1586 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1589 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1590 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1591 removes a bad race condition.
1593 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1596 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1597 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1598 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1600 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1601 sequence information.
1603 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1604 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1606 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1609 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1612 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1614 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1615 interpret 034 as octal.
1617 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1619 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1620 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1622 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1623 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1625 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1626 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1628 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1629 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1631 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1632 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1634 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1635 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1636 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1638 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1639 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1640 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1642 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1644 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1646 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1647 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1650 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1652 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1653 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1655 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1656 header field information.
1658 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1659 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1661 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1662 values when parsing a content.
1664 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1665 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1667 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1668 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1670 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1671 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1673 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1674 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1676 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1678 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1680 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1682 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1684 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1685 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1688 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1689 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1691 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1692 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1693 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1694 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1695 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1696 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1699 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1701 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1702 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1703 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1705 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1706 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1708 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1710 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1711 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1712 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1713 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1715 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1716 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1719 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1720 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1721 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1722 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1725 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1727 * Released nmh-0.27.
1729 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1730 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1732 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1733 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1734 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1735 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1738 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1739 mhbuild returns an error.
1741 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1742 rename the draft file.
1744 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1745 use a global variable.
1747 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1748 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1750 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1751 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1753 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1754 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1755 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1757 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1758 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1760 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1761 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1764 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1765 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1768 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1769 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1771 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1772 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1773 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1775 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1776 to new function output_content_folder.
1778 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1779 new function output_content_file.
1781 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1782 to new function parse_format_string.
1784 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1785 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1786 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1787 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1789 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1790 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1791 message/external file from ftp.
1793 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1794 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1795 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1797 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1798 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1801 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1804 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1805 new file mhstoresbr.c
1807 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1810 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1811 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1813 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1814 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1816 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1817 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1818 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1820 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1822 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1824 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1825 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1828 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1829 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1831 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1834 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1836 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1838 * Released nmh-0.26.
1840 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1841 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1842 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1843 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1845 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1846 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1847 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1848 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1849 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1851 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1852 But it is not on by default.
1854 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1855 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1857 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1859 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1861 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1863 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1865 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1866 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1868 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1870 * Released nmh-0.25.
1872 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1873 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1874 uses the original name of the library.
1876 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1877 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1880 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1881 list_content and list_debug.
1883 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1885 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1886 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1888 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1890 * Released nmh-0.24.
1892 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1894 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1895 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1897 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1898 large sequence line.
1900 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1902 * Released nmh-0.23.
1904 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1906 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1907 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1908 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1909 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1911 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1912 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1915 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1917 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1919 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1921 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1922 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1924 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1925 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1927 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1928 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1930 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1931 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1933 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1935 * Released nmh-0.22.
1937 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1938 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1940 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1942 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1943 mh-profile(5) man page.
1945 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1946 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1948 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1950 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1952 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1953 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1955 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1957 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1958 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1959 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1961 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1962 source message on the standard input.
1964 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1966 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1967 rather than -rfc934mode.
1969 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1970 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1973 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1974 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1976 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1979 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1981 * Released nmh-0.21.
1983 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1984 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1986 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1989 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1990 to use for text contents.
1992 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1994 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1996 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1998 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2000 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2001 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2003 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2004 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2005 spaces between encoded word are.
2007 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2009 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2010 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2012 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2013 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2014 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2016 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2018 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2019 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2021 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2023 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2025 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2026 ISO-8859-X character set.
2028 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2031 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2032 permissions, not write permissions.
2034 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2035 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2037 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2040 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2042 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2044 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2045 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2047 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2048 message contains valid character set.
2050 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2051 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2053 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2054 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2056 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2057 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2058 between an encoded word and normal text.
2060 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2061 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2063 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2064 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2066 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2069 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2070 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2073 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2074 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2076 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2077 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2079 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2081 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2083 * Released nmh-0.20.
2085 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2087 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2089 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2090 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2091 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2093 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2094 and the To: line was missing.
2096 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2098 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2100 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2102 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2103 watch the POP transaction.
2105 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2106 first, and use it if available.
2108 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2109 first, and use it if available.
2111 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2113 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2115 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2116 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2117 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2120 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2121 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2122 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2124 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2125 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2128 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2130 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2131 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2133 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2135 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2136 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2138 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2139 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2140 message to which you are replying.
2142 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2143 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2144 making group replies.
2146 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2148 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2150 * Released nmh-0.19.
2152 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2153 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2155 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2156 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2157 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2158 to the end of the man page.
2160 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2161 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2162 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2163 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2164 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2165 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2167 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2170 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2171 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2172 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2174 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2175 the next available number above the message number you wish
2178 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2179 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2181 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2182 file sbr/seq_print.c
2184 * flist will now update the current folder.
2186 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2187 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2188 but now undocumented.
2190 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2193 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2194 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2196 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2198 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2199 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2201 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Released nmh-0.18.
2205 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2206 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2207 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2209 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2210 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2212 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2213 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2214 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2215 previous public/private status.
2217 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2220 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2223 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2224 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2225 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2227 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2228 take option to determine whether it should get current
2229 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2230 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2232 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2234 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2235 wait for stopped processes.
2237 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2238 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2240 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2242 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2244 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2245 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2247 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2248 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2250 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2251 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2252 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2253 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2255 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2258 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2261 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2263 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2264 the debugging output.
2266 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2267 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2269 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2273 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2274 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2276 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2278 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2279 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2280 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2281 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2282 in the given sequence.
2284 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2285 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2286 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2287 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2288 subdirectories of a given directory.
2290 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2291 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2292 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2294 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2295 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2297 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2299 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2302 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2303 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2304 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2306 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2307 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2308 are calculated at runtime.
2310 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2312 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.

2318 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2319 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2320 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2321 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2322 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2324 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2325 adding message to folder itself.
2327 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2328 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2329 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2332 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2333 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2336 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2337 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2338 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2340 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2341 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2343 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2344 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2345 code to use it yet).
2347 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2349 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2351 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2352 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2354 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2355 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2357 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2359 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2362 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2377 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2379 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2381 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2383 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2384 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2386 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2387 configuration files.
2389 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2395 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2397 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2398 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2400 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2403 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2404 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2406 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2407 number of refiled message.
2409 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2411 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2412 for return value of wait().
2414 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2416 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2418 * Released nmh-0.16.
2420 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2422 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2424 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2425 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2426 deal with binary messages, yet).
2428 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2430 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2432 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2433 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2434 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2435 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2436 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2437 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2439 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2440 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2442 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2443 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2445 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2446 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2449 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2451 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2453 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2454 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2457 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2460 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2462 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2463 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2464 which used unsigned chars by default.
2466 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Released nmh-0.15.
2470 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2475 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2477 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2480 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2481 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2482 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2484 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2485 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2487 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2489 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2490 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2492 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2493 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2494 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2495 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2497 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2498 and put in own subroutine.
2500 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2501 and put in own subroutine.
2503 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2504 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2505 refile.c to use new routine.
2507 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2509 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2511 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2514 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2515 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2516 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2518 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2521 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2522 adding message to sequence.
2524 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2525 corresponding file in sbr.
2527 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2530 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2532 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2533 all selected messages from a sequence.
2535 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2536 selected messages to a sequence.
2538 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2541 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2543 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2544 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2546 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2548 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2585 * Released nmh-0.13.
2587 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2588 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2589 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2590 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2593 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2594 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2596 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2598 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2599 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2601 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2625 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2628 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2629 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2631 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2632 will suppress the display of the message header.
2634 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2636 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2637 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2639 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2641 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2643 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2645 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2646 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2648 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2649 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2651 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2653 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2655 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2656 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2658 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2659 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2661 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Released nmh-0.10.

2670 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2672 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2673 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2675 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2676 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2678 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2679 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2681 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2683 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2684 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2686 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2711 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2713 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2714 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2716 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2718 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2719 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2721 * Released nmh-0.08.
2723 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2724 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2735 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2736 rather than mmdf format.
2738 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2739 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2740 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2741 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2743 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2745 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2747 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2750 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2751 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2752 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2754 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2755 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2756 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2758 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2761 can still easily change this in config.h).
2763 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2764 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2765 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2767 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2769 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2770 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2781 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2784 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2786 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2787 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2790 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2791 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2793 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2794 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2796 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2798 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2800 * Added configure check for tzset.
2802 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Released nmh-0.06.
2806 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2807 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2809 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2810 many such machines around anymore.
2812 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2813 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2815 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2816 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2818 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2820 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2821 pre-generated version if necessary.
2823 * Released nmh-0.05.
2825 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2826 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2827 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2828 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2830 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2831 be linked in one pass.
2833 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2835 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2836 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2838 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2840 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2842 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2844 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2845 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2846 become the current folder.
2848 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * Released nmh-0.04.
2852 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2855 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2858 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2859 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2861 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2864 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2866 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2869 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2872 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2873 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2875 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2877 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2878 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2879 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2880 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2881 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2882 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2884 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2886 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2887 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2889 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2890 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2892 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2895 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2897 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2899 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2900 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2901 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2903 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2905 * Released nmh-0.03.
2907 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2908 .mh_sequence file existed.
2910 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2911 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2913 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2914 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2917 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2919 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2922 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2924 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2925 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2926 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2928 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2931 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2932 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2934 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2936 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2937 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2939 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2941 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2943 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2944 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2945 directory from where the source code is located.
2947 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * Released nmh-0.02.
2951 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2956 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2959 and sys_nerr directly.
2961 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2963 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2965 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2967 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2970 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2971 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2972 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2973 rather than in script.
2975 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2979 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2980 macro defined on Solaris.
2982 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2985 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2987 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2988 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2989 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2990 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2993 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2995 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2996 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2998 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3001 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3005 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3006 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3008 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3010 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3011 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3013 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3015 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3016 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3017 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3018 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3019 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3020 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3022 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3024 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3026 * Released nmh-0.01.
3028 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3029 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3030 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3033 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3035 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3038 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3041 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3043 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3045 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3046 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3047 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3048 script to find_program.
3050 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3052 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3053 speed up -recurse option.
3055 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3056 yet, but it compiles :-)
3058 * Changed default location for install to
3059 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3060 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3061 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3064 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3065 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3066 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
