1 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold.
5 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
7 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
8 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
10 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
11 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
12 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
13 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
14 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
16 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
17 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
18 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
20 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
21 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
22 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
23 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
24 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
25 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
26 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
27 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
28 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
30 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
32 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
35 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
37 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
38 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
39 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
40 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
41 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
42 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
44 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
46 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
48 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
50 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
51 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
54 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
55 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
56 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
58 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
61 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
63 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
64 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
65 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
67 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
68 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
69 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
71 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
73 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
74 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
75 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
76 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
77 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
78 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
79 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
81 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
83 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
84 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
86 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
88 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
89 with multibyte support.
91 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
92 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
93 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
94 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
96 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
98 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
99 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
101 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
102 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
104 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
106 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
107 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
108 the address of a static array.
110 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
112 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
113 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
115 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
117 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
118 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
119 This allows users to masquerade with the default
120 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
121 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
122 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
125 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
127 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
128 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
129 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
130 ruserpass() has a void return type.
132 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
133 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
134 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
135 provide memmove() substitute implementation
137 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
138 source directory' feature
140 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
141 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
143 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
145 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
146 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
147 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
150 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
152 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
153 is the wrong approach.
155 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
156 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
157 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
160 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
161 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
162 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
163 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
164 broken for continued lines from the server.
166 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
168 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
169 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
171 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
173 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
175 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
178 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
180 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
182 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
184 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
185 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
186 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
187 obsolete feature of autoconf
189 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
191 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
192 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
193 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
195 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
197 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
198 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
200 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
202 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
205 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
207 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
208 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
209 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
210 following done() (should never be reached).
212 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
214 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
215 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
217 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
219 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
220 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
222 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
224 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
225 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
226 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
227 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
228 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
229 acconfig.h if you must.
231 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
233 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
234 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
235 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
236 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
238 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
240 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
243 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
245 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
246 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
247 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
248 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
249 have Content-Disposition.
251 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
253 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
256 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
258 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
259 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
261 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
263 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
264 encoded block is empty
266 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
268 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
269 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
270 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
273 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
275 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
276 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
279 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
281 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
282 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
283 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
284 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
287 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
288 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
290 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
292 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
293 function num_digits into utils.c
295 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
297 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
298 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
299 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
301 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
303 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
304 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
305 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
306 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
307 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
308 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
309 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
310 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
312 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
314 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
315 Content-Disposition header.
317 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
319 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
320 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
321 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
322 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
323 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
324 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
325 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
326 users to easily accomodate that by adding
327 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
329 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
331 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
332 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
334 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
336 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
338 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
339 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
341 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
342 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
344 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
346 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
347 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
348 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
349 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
350 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
353 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
355 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
356 widths, restoring right justification feature
358 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
360 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
361 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
362 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
364 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
367 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
369 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
370 handling multi column characters.
372 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
374 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
376 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
378 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
379 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
382 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
384 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
386 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
388 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
391 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
393 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
396 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
398 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
399 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
400 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
401 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
403 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
405 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
406 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
407 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
408 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
409 where configure's autodetection fails.
411 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
413 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
414 configure script change.
416 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
418 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
419 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
420 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
423 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
425 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
426 the context is only read once.
428 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
430 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
431 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
433 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
435 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
436 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
438 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
439 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
442 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
443 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
446 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
448 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
449 vi isn't found during build.
451 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
453 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
454 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
456 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
457 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
458 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
460 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
462 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
463 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
465 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
466 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
467 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
468 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
471 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
472 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
473 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
475 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
476 entry in the context file.
478 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
480 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
481 problems on some systems
483 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
484 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
486 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
488 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
489 sendmail isn't found during build.
491 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
493 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
495 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
497 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
498 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
500 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
501 references to the web page and mailing list locations
503 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
504 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
506 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
509 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
511 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
512 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
513 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
515 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
516 was configured with --enable-apop.
518 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
519 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
520 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
522 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
523 new versions of flex.
525 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
526 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
527 doesn't guess wrongly.
529 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
531 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
532 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
534 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
535 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
537 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
538 files with numbers as names
540 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
542 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
544 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
546 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
548 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
549 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
551 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
553 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
556 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
557 test/report error writing to stdout
559 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
561 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
563 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
564 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
565 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
567 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
568 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
569 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
571 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
573 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
574 character set used by the current locale
576 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
577 message's filename overflows an int when converted
579 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
580 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
582 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
584 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
587 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
589 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
590 from Michael Richardson.
592 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
593 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
595 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
597 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
598 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
600 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
602 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
603 find sub-parts of the specified part
605 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
607 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
608 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
609 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
610 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
611 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
612 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
613 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
616 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
618 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
619 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
620 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
623 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
624 refiling with -src option.
626 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
628 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
630 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
632 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
633 mailpath being overwritten.
635 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
637 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
638 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
639 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
640 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
641 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
642 reinitializes the tmp file string.
644 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
645 if a format string was read from the profile.
647 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
648 path for the external hook.
650 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
652 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
653 another location for ndbm.
655 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
657 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
659 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
661 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
664 136976 - Handle binary content messages
665 143427 - mh-format.man typo
666 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
667 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
668 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
669 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
670 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
671 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
672 181867 - typo for nmh.man
674 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
676 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
677 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
678 contitional code which will result in cached data to
679 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
680 and parse on the first use.
681 * Remove some unused flag bits.
683 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
685 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
686 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
688 #578 - repl leaks umask
689 #1393 - sortm core dumps
690 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
691 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
692 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
694 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
695 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
697 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
699 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
700 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
702 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
704 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
705 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
706 to docs/README.about.
708 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
710 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
712 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
713 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
714 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
715 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
718 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
720 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
721 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
722 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
723 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
724 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
725 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
728 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
729 summary configure prints out.
731 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
732 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
733 subjectively more readable) format.
735 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
737 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
740 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
742 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
743 19xx when it's not necessary.
745 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
747 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
748 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
751 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
752 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
753 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
754 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
755 the man pages correctly.
757 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
759 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
761 * Finished manpages ali-prev
763 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
764 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
765 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
768 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
769 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
770 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
771 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
773 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
775 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
776 the formatting rules I've been using.
780 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
782 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
783 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
784 used in the manpages.
786 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
787 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
788 read in the contents of the file as the variable
791 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
792 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
793 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
794 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
795 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
796 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
797 bold flags and italicized parameters.
799 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
801 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
802 --with-locking option.
804 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
805 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
806 information was not being communicated to the
807 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
808 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
809 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
810 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
811 undefined symbols problems.
813 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
814 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
815 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
816 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
817 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
818 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
819 for a genuine krb4 installation.
821 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
823 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
824 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
826 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
828 * Made a new ./configure option called
829 "--with-locking" that allows the file
830 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
831 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
833 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
834 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
835 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
836 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
837 the user that these are the valid options, and
838 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
841 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
843 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
844 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
845 committed to supporting flex only, since
846 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
847 string, as well as other problems documented
848 below and on nmh-workers.
850 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
851 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
852 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
855 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
856 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
858 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
860 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
861 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
862 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
864 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
867 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
869 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
871 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
872 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
873 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
874 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
875 couldn't correctly identify them.
877 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
879 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
880 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
881 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
882 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
883 not depending on an external archive.
885 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
886 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
887 mts/generic is no longer built.
889 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
891 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
892 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
893 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
894 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
895 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
896 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
897 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
898 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
900 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
902 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
903 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
906 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
908 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
909 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
910 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
913 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
914 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
915 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
916 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
918 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
919 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
920 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
921 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
922 merged into the smtp code).
924 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
925 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
926 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
929 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
930 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
931 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
932 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
933 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
934 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
935 in the appropriate Makefile.in
937 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
939 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
940 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
941 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
942 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
943 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
944 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
945 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
946 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
947 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
948 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
949 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
951 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
954 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
955 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
956 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
957 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
958 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
959 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
960 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
961 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
963 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
965 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
966 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
969 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
972 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
974 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
976 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
977 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
978 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
979 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
981 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
984 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
985 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
986 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
987 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
989 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
990 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
992 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
994 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
996 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
997 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
998 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
999 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1001 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1002 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1003 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1004 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1006 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1007 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1008 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1009 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1011 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1012 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1013 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1015 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1017 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1018 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1019 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1020 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1021 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1022 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1025 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1026 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1028 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1029 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1031 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1033 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1035 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1037 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1038 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1039 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1040 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1042 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1044 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1045 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1047 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1049 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1051 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1052 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1055 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1057 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1058 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1059 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1060 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1062 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1064 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1065 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1066 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1067 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1068 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1070 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1072 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1073 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1075 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1076 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1078 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1080 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1083 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1084 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1086 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1088 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1091 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1092 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1094 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1096 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1097 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1099 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1101 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1102 inc does not need to be setgid.
1104 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1106 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1107 library, as found on Debian systems.
1109 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1111 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1113 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1114 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1115 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1116 case-insensitivity flag.
1118 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1120 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1121 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1123 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1125 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1126 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1127 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1128 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1129 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1130 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1131 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1132 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1133 getting moved aside).
1135 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1136 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1138 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1140 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1141 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1142 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1143 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1144 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1145 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1146 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1147 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1148 the prototype, but never sets it.
1150 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1151 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1152 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1153 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1154 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1155 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1157 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1158 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1159 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1160 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1161 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1163 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1165 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1166 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1169 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1170 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1171 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1172 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1173 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1174 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1175 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1177 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1179 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1181 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1182 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1183 this works on other systems.
1185 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1187 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1188 checks for write failures.
1190 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1192 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1194 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1197 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1199 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1201 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1203 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1204 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1207 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1210 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1211 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1212 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1214 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1216 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1217 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1220 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1221 as well as Makefiles.
1223 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1225 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1226 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1227 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1228 should make maintainability easier.
1230 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1231 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1232 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1233 whatever you know works.
1235 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1238 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1239 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1241 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1242 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1243 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1244 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1246 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1247 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1248 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1250 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1251 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1252 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1253 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1254 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1256 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1257 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1258 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1259 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1260 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1261 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1262 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1263 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1264 from the BSD version.
1266 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1267 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1268 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1270 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1271 in ruserpass.c also.
1273 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1276 This happens on solaris:
1279 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1280 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1284 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1286 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1287 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1289 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1291 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1292 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1293 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1294 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1295 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1296 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1297 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1298 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1299 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1300 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1301 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1303 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1304 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1305 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1306 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1307 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1308 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1311 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1312 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1313 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1314 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1315 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1317 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1318 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1320 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1322 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1323 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1324 to stdin, such as exmh.
1326 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1327 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1328 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1331 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1333 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1334 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1335 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1336 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1337 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1338 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1339 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1341 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1343 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1344 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1346 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1348 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1349 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1351 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1353 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1356 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1357 along with any -host or -user option.
1359 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1361 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1363 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1364 process was fresh in my mind.
1366 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1368 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1369 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1371 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1373 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1375 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1378 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1379 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1380 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1381 part of the program's name.
1383 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1384 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1387 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1389 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1390 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1391 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1392 single-character format would cause programs using this
1393 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1394 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1395 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1396 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1399 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1401 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1402 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1403 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1404 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1405 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1406 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1408 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1409 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1410 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1411 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1412 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1413 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1414 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1415 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1417 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1418 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1419 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1420 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1421 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1422 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1423 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1424 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1425 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1426 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1428 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1430 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1431 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1433 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1434 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1436 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1441 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1443 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1444 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1445 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1446 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1448 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1449 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1450 problem in the routine.
1452 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1454 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1455 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1457 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1458 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1459 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1462 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1464 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1465 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1466 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1467 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1468 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1469 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1470 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1471 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1472 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1473 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1475 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1477 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1478 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1479 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1480 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1481 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1482 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1483 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1484 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1485 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1486 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1487 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1488 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1490 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1491 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1492 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1493 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1494 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1496 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1499 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1501 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1502 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1503 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1504 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1507 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1509 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1511 * Applied, after some finessing,
1512 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1514 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1516 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1518 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1519 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1520 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1521 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1523 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1525 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1526 forgetting to do so!).
1528 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1529 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1530 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1531 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1532 arguments to enable all three types.
1534 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1535 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1537 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1538 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1539 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1540 updated copy of mts.conf.
1542 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1544 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1545 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1546 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1548 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1550 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1552 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1553 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1554 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1556 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1557 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1558 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1560 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1561 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1562 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1564 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1566 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1568 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1570 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1572 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1573 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1575 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1576 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1577 certain suffix to run properly.
1579 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1580 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1581 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1583 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1584 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1585 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1586 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1587 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1588 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1589 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1591 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1593 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1594 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1595 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1596 until some year far in the future).
1598 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1600 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1602 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1603 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1605 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1606 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1609 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1611 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1612 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1613 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1614 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1615 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1616 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1618 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1620 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1622 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1623 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1624 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1626 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1627 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1628 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1629 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1630 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1631 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1634 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1635 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1636 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1637 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1638 of masquerading individually.
1640 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1641 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1642 GECOS field delimiters.
1644 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1646 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1647 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1648 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1649 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1650 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1651 and explaining the feature.
1653 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1655 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1656 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1659 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1660 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1661 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1663 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1664 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1665 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1666 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1668 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1669 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1670 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1673 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1675 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1676 code to be executed.
1678 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1680 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1682 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1683 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1684 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1685 quotes embedded in them.
1687 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1689 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1690 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1691 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1692 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1693 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1694 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1695 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1698 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1699 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1700 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1701 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1702 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1704 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1706 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1708 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1709 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1710 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1711 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1713 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1716 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1718 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1720 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1722 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1723 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1724 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1726 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1729 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1731 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1732 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1733 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1734 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1735 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1736 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1738 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1739 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1741 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1743 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1746 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1748 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1749 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1750 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1753 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1754 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1755 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1756 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1757 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1758 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1759 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1760 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1761 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1762 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1763 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1764 processing that post has).
1766 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1768 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1769 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1770 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1771 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1772 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1773 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1776 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1778 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1780 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1782 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1784 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1785 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1787 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1790 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1792 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1793 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1794 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1797 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1799 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1800 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1801 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1802 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1803 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1804 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1806 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1808 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1810 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1812 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1813 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1814 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1815 caught again. This works for now.
1817 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1819 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1821 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1822 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1824 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1826 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1827 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1829 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1831 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1833 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1835 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1836 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1838 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1840 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1841 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1842 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1843 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1844 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1847 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1849 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1850 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1851 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1853 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1854 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1857 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1859 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1860 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1861 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1863 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1865 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1866 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1868 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1870 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1873 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1874 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1876 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1877 macros, regardless of platform.
1879 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1880 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1882 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1883 with x-conversions=gzip.
1885 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1887 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1890 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1891 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1892 implicit definition of ioctl().
1894 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1895 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1896 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1897 want to mess with them.
1899 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1901 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1902 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1904 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1905 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1907 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1908 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1909 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1911 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1912 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1913 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1915 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1916 function initgroups.
1918 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1921 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1922 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1925 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1926 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1929 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1930 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1934 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1936 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1937 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1938 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1940 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1941 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1943 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1945 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1947 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1948 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1949 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1950 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1952 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1953 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1955 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1957 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1959 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1961 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1962 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1964 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1966 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1967 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1969 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1970 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1971 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1972 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1974 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1975 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1977 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1979 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1980 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1982 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1984 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1985 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1988 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1990 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1992 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1994 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1995 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1997 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1998 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1999 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2001 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2002 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2003 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2005 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2006 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2007 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2009 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2010 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2013 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2014 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2016 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2017 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2019 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2020 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2022 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2023 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2024 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2026 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2027 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2029 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2030 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2031 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2033 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2034 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2037 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2038 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2040 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2041 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2042 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2043 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2045 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2046 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2048 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2052 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2053 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2054 would not be changed.
2056 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2057 one from the Apache web server.
2059 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2060 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2062 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2063 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2064 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2066 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2068 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2070 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2071 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2074 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2075 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2076 removes a bad race condition.
2078 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2081 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2082 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2083 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2085 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2086 sequence information.
2088 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2089 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2091 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2094 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2097 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2099 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2100 interpret 034 as octal.
2102 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2104 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2105 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2107 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2108 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2110 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2111 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2113 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2114 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2116 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2117 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2119 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2120 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2121 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2123 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2124 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2125 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2127 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2129 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2131 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2132 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2135 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2137 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2138 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2140 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2141 header field information.
2143 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2144 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2146 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2147 values when parsing a content.
2149 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2150 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2152 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2153 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2155 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2156 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2158 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2159 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2161 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2163 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2165 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2167 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2169 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2170 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2173 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2174 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2176 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2177 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2178 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2179 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2180 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2181 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2184 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2186 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2187 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2188 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2190 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2191 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2193 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2195 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2196 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2197 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2198 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2200 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2201 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2204 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2205 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2206 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2207 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2210 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212 * Released nmh-0.27.
2214 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2215 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2217 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2218 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2219 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2220 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2223 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2224 mhbuild returns an error.
2226 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2227 rename the draft file.
2229 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2230 use a global variable.
2232 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2233 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2235 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2236 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2238 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2239 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2240 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2242 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2243 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2245 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2246 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2249 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2250 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2253 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2254 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2256 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2257 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2258 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2260 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2261 to new function output_content_folder.
2263 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2264 new function output_content_file.
2266 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2267 to new function parse_format_string.
2269 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2270 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2271 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2272 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2274 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2275 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2276 message/external file from ftp.
2278 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2279 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2280 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2282 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2283 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2286 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2289 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2290 new file mhstoresbr.c
2292 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2295 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2296 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2298 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2299 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2301 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2302 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2303 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2305 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2307 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2309 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2310 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2313 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2314 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2316 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2319 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2321 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2323 * Released nmh-0.26.
2325 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2326 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2327 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2328 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2330 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2331 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2332 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2333 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2334 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2336 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2337 But it is not on by default.
2339 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2340 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2342 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2344 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2346 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2348 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2350 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2351 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2353 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * Released nmh-0.25.
2357 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2358 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2359 uses the original name of the library.
2361 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2362 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2365 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2366 list_content and list_debug.
2368 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2370 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2371 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2373 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2375 * Released nmh-0.24.
2377 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2379 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2380 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2382 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2383 large sequence line.
2385 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2387 * Released nmh-0.23.
2389 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2391 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2392 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2393 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2394 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2396 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2397 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2400 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2402 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2404 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2406 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2407 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2409 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2410 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2412 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2413 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2415 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2416 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2418 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2420 * Released nmh-0.22.
2422 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2423 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2425 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2427 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2428 mh-profile(5) man page.
2430 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2431 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2433 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2435 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2437 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2438 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2440 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2442 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2443 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2444 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2446 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2447 source message on the standard input.
2449 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2451 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2452 rather than -rfc934mode.
2454 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2455 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2458 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2459 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2461 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2464 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2466 * Released nmh-0.21.
2468 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2469 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2471 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2474 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2475 to use for text contents.
2477 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2479 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2481 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2483 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2485 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2486 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2488 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2489 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2490 spaces between encoded word are.
2492 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2494 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2495 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2497 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2498 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2499 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2501 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2503 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2504 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2506 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2508 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2510 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2511 ISO-8859-X character set.
2513 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2516 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2517 permissions, not write permissions.
2519 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2520 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2522 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2525 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2527 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2529 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2530 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2532 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2533 message contains valid character set.
2535 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2536 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2538 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2539 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2541 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2542 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2543 between an encoded word and normal text.
2545 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2546 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2548 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2549 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2551 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2554 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2555 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2558 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2559 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2561 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2562 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2564 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2566 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2568 * Released nmh-0.20.
2570 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2572 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2574 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2575 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2576 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2578 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2579 and the To: line was missing.
2581 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2583 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2585 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2587 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2588 watch the POP transaction.
2590 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2591 first, and use it if available.
2593 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2594 first, and use it if available.
2596 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2598 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2600 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2601 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2602 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2605 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2606 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2607 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2609 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2610 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2613 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2615 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2616 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2618 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2620 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2621 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2623 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2624 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2625 message to which you are replying.
2627 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2628 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2629 making group replies.
2631 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2633 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2635 * Released nmh-0.19.
2637 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2638 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2640 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2641 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2642 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2643 to the end of the man page.
2645 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2646 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2647 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2648 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2649 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2650 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2652 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2655 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2656 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2657 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2659 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2660 the next available number above the message number you wish
2663 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2664 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2666 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2667 file sbr/seq_print.c
2669 * flist will now update the current folder.
2671 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2672 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2673 but now undocumented.
2675 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2678 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2679 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2681 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2683 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2684 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2686 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * Released nmh-0.18.
2690 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2691 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2692 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2694 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2695 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2697 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2698 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2699 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2700 previous public/private status.
2702 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2705 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2708 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2709 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2710 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2712 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2713 take option to determine whether it should get current
2714 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2715 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2717 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2719 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2720 wait for stopped processes.
2722 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2723 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2725 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2727 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2729 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2730 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2732 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2733 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2735 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2736 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2737 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2738 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2740 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2743 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2746 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2748 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2749 the debugging output.
2751 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2752 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2754 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2756 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2758 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2759 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2761 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2763 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2764 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2765 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2766 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2767 in the given sequence.
2769 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2770 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2771 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2772 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2773 subdirectories of a given directory.
2775 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2776 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2777 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2779 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2780 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2782 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2784 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2787 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2788 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2789 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2791 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2792 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2793 are calculated at runtime.
2795 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2804 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2805 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2806 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2807 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2809 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2810 adding message to folder itself.
2812 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2813 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2814 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2817 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2818 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2821 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2822 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2823 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2825 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2826 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2828 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2829 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2830 code to use it yet).

2834 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2836 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2837 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2839 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2840 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2842 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2844 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2847 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2880 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2882 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2883 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2885 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2888 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2889 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2891 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2892 number of refiled message.
2894 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2896 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2897 for return value of wait().
2899 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2901 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * Released nmh-0.16.

2907 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2909 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2910 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2911 deal with binary messages, yet).
2913 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2915 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2917 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2918 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2919 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2920 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2921 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2922 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2924 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2925 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2927 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2928 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2930 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2931 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2934 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2936 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2938 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2939 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2942 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2945 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2947 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2948 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2949 which used unsigned chars by default.
2951 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2953 * Released nmh-0.15.
2955 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2960 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2962 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2965 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2966 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2967 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2969 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2970 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2972 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2974 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2975 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2977 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2978 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2979 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2980 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2982 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2983 and put in own subroutine.
2985 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2986 and put in own subroutine.
2988 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2989 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2990 refile.c to use new routine.
2992 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2996 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2999 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3000 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3001 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3003 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3006 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3007 adding message to sequence.
3009 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3010 corresponding file in sbr.
3012 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3015 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

3018 all selected messages from a sequence.
3020 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3021 selected messages to a sequence.
3023 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3026 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3028 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3029 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3031 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3052 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3053 environment variable.
3055 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3056 draft folder facility in nmh.
3058 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

3070 * Released nmh-0.13.
3072 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3073 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3074 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3075 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3078 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3079 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3081 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3083 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3084 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3086 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3088 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3110 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3113 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3114 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3116 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3117 will suppress the display of the message header.
3119 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3121 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3122 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3124 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3126 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3128 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3130 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3131 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3133 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3134 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3136 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3138 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3140 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3141 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3143 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3144 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3146 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3148 * Released nmh-0.10.

3155 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3157 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3158 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3160 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3161 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3163 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3164 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3166 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3169 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3171 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3173 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3174 of missing tabs in regex.

3194 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3196 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3198 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3199 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3201 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3203 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3204 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3206 * Released nmh-0.08.
3208 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3209 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3210 locking database itself.
3212 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3214 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3216 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3217 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3220 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3221 rather than mmdf format.
3223 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3224 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3225 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3226 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3228 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3230 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3232 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3235 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3236 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3237 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3239 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3240 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3241 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3243 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3245 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3246 can still easily change this in config.h).
3248 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3249 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3250 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3252 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3255 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3257 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3259 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
3261 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
3264 * Released nmh-0.07.
3266 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3268 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3269 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3271 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3272 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3275 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3276 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3278 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3279 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3281 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3283 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3285 * Added configure check for tzset.
3287 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3289 * Released nmh-0.06.
3291 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3292 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3294 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3295 many such machines around anymore.
3297 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3298 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3300 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3301 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3303 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3306 pre-generated version if necessary.
3308 * Released nmh-0.05.
3310 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3311 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3312 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3313 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3315 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3316 be linked in one pass.
3318 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3320 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3321 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3323 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3325 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3327 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3329 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3330 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3331 become the current folder.
3333 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3335 * Released nmh-0.04.
3337 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3340 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3342 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3343 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3344 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3346 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3348 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3349 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3351 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3354 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3357 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3358 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3360 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3362 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3363 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3364 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3365 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3366 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3367 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3369 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3371 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3372 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3374 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3375 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3377 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3379 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3380 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3382 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3384 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3385 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3386 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3388 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3390 * Released nmh-0.03.
3392 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3393 .mh_sequence file existed.
3395 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3396 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3398 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3399 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3402 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3404 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3407 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3409 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3410 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3411 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3413 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3415 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3416 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3417 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3419 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3421 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3422 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3424 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3426 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3428 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3429 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3430 directory from where the source code is located.
3432 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3434 * Released nmh-0.02.
3436 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3441 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3443 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3444 and sys_nerr directly.
3446 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3448 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3450 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3452 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3454 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3455 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3456 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3457 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3458 rather than in script.
3460 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3462 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3464 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3465 macro defined on Solaris.
3467 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3469 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3470 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3472 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3473 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3474 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3475 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3478 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3480 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3481 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3483 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3486 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3488 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3490 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3491 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3493 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3495 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3496 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3498 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3500 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3501 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3502 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3503 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3504 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3505 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3507 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3509 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3511 * Released nmh-0.01.
3513 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3514 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3515 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3518 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3520 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3523 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3525 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3526 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3528 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3530 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3531 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3532 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3533 script to find_program.
3535 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3537 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3538 speed up -recurse option.
3540 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3541 yet, but it compiles :-)
3543 * Changed default location for install to
3544 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3545 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3546 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3549 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3550 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3551 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
