1 2008-05-23 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Released nmh-1.3 RC3.
5 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
7 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
8 with multibyte support. (Ported from trunk.)
10 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
11 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
12 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
13 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
16 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
18 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
19 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
22 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
23 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults. (Ported from
26 2008-05-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
28 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
29 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
30 This allows users to masquerade with the default
31 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
32 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
33 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
34 etc/mts.conf. (Ported from trunk.)
36 2008-05-20 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
38 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $<
39 in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only
40 defined in inference rules. (Ported from trunk.)
42 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
44 * Released nmh-1.3 RC2.
46 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
48 * Fixes ported from trunk:
50 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
51 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
52 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
53 ruserpass() has a void return type.
55 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
56 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
57 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
58 provide memmove() substitute implementation
60 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
61 source directory' feature
63 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
64 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
66 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
68 * Fixes ported from trunk:
70 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
71 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
72 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
75 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
76 is the wrong approach.
78 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
79 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
80 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
83 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
84 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
85 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
86 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
87 broken for continued lines from the server.
89 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
91 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
93 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
95 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
97 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
99 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
100 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
101 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
102 obsolete feature of autoconf
104 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
106 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
107 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
108 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
110 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
112 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
113 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
115 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
117 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
120 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
122 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
123 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
124 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
125 following done() (should never be reached).
127 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
129 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
130 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
132 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
134 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
135 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
137 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
139 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
140 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
141 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
142 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
143 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
144 acconfig.h if you must.
146 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
148 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
149 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
150 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
151 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
153 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
155 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
158 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
160 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
161 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
162 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
163 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
164 have Content-Disposition.
166 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
168 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
171 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
173 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
174 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
176 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
178 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
179 encoded block is empty
181 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
183 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
184 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
185 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
188 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
190 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
191 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
194 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
196 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
197 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
198 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
199 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
202 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
203 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
205 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
207 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
208 function num_digits into utils.c
210 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
212 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
213 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
214 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
216 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
218 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
219 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
220 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
221 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
222 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
223 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
224 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
225 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
227 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
229 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
230 Content-Disposition header.
232 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
234 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
235 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
236 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
237 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
238 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
239 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
240 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
241 users to easily accomodate that by adding
242 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
244 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
246 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
247 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
249 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
251 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
253 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
254 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
256 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
257 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
259 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
261 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
262 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
263 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
264 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
265 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
268 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
270 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
271 widths, restoring right justification feature
273 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
275 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
276 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
277 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
279 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
282 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
284 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
285 handling multi column characters.
287 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
289 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
291 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
293 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
294 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
297 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
299 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
301 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
303 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
306 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
308 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
311 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
313 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
314 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
315 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
316 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
318 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
320 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
321 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
322 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
323 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
324 where configure's autodetection fails.
326 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
328 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
329 configure script change.
331 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
333 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
334 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
335 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
338 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
340 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
341 the context is only read once.
343 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
345 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
346 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
348 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
350 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
351 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
353 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
354 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
357 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
358 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
361 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
363 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
364 vi isn't found during build.
366 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
368 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
369 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
371 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
372 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
373 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
375 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
377 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
378 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
380 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
381 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
382 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
383 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
386 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
387 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
388 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
390 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
391 entry in the context file.
393 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
395 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
396 problems on some systems
398 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
399 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
401 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
403 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
404 sendmail isn't found during build.
406 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
408 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
410 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
412 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
413 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
415 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
416 references to the web page and mailing list locations
418 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
419 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
421 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
424 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
426 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
427 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
428 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
430 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
431 was configured with --enable-apop.
433 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
434 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
435 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
437 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
438 new versions of flex.
440 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
441 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
442 doesn't guess wrongly.
444 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
446 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
447 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
449 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
450 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
452 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
453 files with numbers as names
455 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
457 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
459 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
461 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
463 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
464 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
466 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
468 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
471 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
472 test/report error writing to stdout
474 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
476 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
478 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
479 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
480 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
482 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
483 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
484 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
486 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
488 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
489 character set used by the current locale
491 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
492 message's filename overflows an int when converted
494 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
495 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
497 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
499 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
502 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
504 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
505 from Michael Richardson.
507 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
508 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
510 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
512 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
513 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
515 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
517 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
518 find sub-parts of the specified part
520 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
522 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
523 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
524 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
525 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
526 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
527 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
528 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
531 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
533 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
534 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
535 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
538 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
539 refiling with -src option.
541 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
543 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
545 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
547 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
548 mailpath being overwritten.
550 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
552 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
553 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
554 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
555 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
556 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
557 reinitializes the tmp file string.
559 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
560 if a format string was read from the profile.
562 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
563 path for the external hook.
565 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
567 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
568 another location for ndbm.
570 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
572 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
574 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
576 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
579 136976 - Handle binary content messages
580 143427 - mh-format.man typo
581 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
582 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
583 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
584 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
585 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
586 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
587 181867 - typo for nmh.man
589 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
591 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
592 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
593 contitional code which will result in cached data to
594 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
595 and parse on the first use.
596 * Remove some unused flag bits.
598 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
600 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
601 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
603 #578 - repl leaks umask
604 #1393 - sortm core dumps
605 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
606 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
607 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
609 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
610 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
612 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
614 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
615 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
617 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
619 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
620 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
621 to docs/README.about.
623 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
625 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
627 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
628 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
629 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
630 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
633 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
635 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
636 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
637 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
638 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
639 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
640 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
643 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
644 summary configure prints out.
646 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
647 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
648 subjectively more readable) format.
650 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
652 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
655 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
657 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
658 19xx when it's not necessary.
660 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
662 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
663 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
666 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
667 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
668 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
669 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
670 the man pages correctly.
672 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
674 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
676 * Finished manpages ali-prev
678 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
679 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
680 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
683 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
684 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
685 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
686 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
688 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
690 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
691 the formatting rules I've been using.
695 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
697 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
698 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
699 used in the manpages.
701 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
702 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
703 read in the contents of the file as the variable
706 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
707 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
708 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
709 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
710 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
711 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
712 bold flags and italicized parameters.
714 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
716 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
717 --with-locking option.
719 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
720 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
721 information was not being communicated to the
722 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
723 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
724 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
725 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
726 undefined symbols problems.
728 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
729 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
730 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
731 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
732 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
733 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
734 for a genuine krb4 installation.
736 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
738 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
739 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
741 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
743 * Made a new ./configure option called
744 "--with-locking" that allows the file
745 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
746 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
748 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
749 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
750 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
751 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
752 the user that these are the valid options, and
753 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
756 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
758 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
759 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
760 committed to supporting flex only, since
761 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
762 string, as well as other problems documented
763 below and on nmh-workers.
765 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
766 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
767 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
770 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
771 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
773 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
775 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
776 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
777 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
779 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
781 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
782 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
784 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
786 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
787 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
788 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
789 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
790 couldn't correctly identify them.
792 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
794 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
795 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
796 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
797 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
798 not depending on an external archive.
800 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
801 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
802 mts/generic is no longer built.
804 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
806 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
807 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
808 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
809 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
810 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
811 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
812 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
813 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
815 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
817 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
818 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
821 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
823 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
824 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
825 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
828 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
829 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
830 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
831 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
833 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
834 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
835 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
836 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
837 merged into the smtp code).
839 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
840 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
841 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
844 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
845 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
846 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
847 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
848 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
849 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
850 in the appropriate Makefile.in
852 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
854 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
855 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
856 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
857 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
858 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
859 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
860 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
861 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
862 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
863 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
864 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
866 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
868 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
869 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
870 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
871 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
872 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
873 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
874 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
875 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
876 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
878 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
880 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
881 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
884 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
887 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
889 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
891 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
892 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
893 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
894 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
896 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
898 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
899 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
900 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
901 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
902 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
904 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
905 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
907 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
909 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
911 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
912 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
913 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
914 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
916 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
917 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
918 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
919 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
921 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
922 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
923 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
924 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
926 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
927 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
928 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
930 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
932 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
933 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
934 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
935 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
936 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
937 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
940 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
941 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
943 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
944 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
946 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
948 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
950 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
952 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
953 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
954 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
955 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
957 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
959 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
960 be easily changed from "," to "#".
962 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
964 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
966 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
967 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
970 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
972 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
973 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
974 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
975 but not for the subsequent data stream.
977 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
979 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
980 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
981 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
982 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
983 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
985 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
987 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
988 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
990 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
991 cat, also define lorder as echo.
993 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
995 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
997 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
998 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
999 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1001 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1003 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1006 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1007 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1009 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1011 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1012 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1014 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1016 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1017 inc does not need to be setgid.
1019 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1021 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1022 library, as found on Debian systems.
1024 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1026 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1028 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1029 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1030 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1031 case-insensitivity flag.
1033 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1035 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1036 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1038 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1040 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1041 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1042 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1043 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1044 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1045 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1046 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1047 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1048 getting moved aside).
1050 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1051 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1053 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1055 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1056 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1057 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1058 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1059 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1060 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1061 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1062 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1063 the prototype, but never sets it.
1065 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1066 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1067 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1068 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1069 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1070 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1072 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1073 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1074 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1075 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1076 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1078 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1080 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1081 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1084 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1085 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1086 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1087 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1088 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1089 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1090 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1092 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1094 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1096 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1097 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1098 this works on other systems.
1100 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1102 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1103 checks for write failures.
1105 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1107 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1109 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1112 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1114 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1116 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1118 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1119 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1122 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1124 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1125 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1126 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1127 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1129 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1131 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1132 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1135 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1136 as well as Makefiles.
1138 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1140 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1141 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1142 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1143 should make maintainability easier.
1145 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1146 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1147 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1148 whatever you know works.
1150 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1152 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1153 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1154 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1156 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1157 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1158 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1159 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1161 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1162 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1163 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1165 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1166 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1167 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1168 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1169 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1171 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1172 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1173 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1174 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1175 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1176 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1177 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1178 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1179 from the BSD version.
1181 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1182 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1183 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1185 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1186 in ruserpass.c also.
1188 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1191 This happens on solaris:
1194 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1195 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1199 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1201 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1202 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1204 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1206 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1207 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1208 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1209 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1210 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1211 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1212 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1213 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1214 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1215 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1216 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1218 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1219 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1220 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1221 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1222 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1223 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1226 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1227 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1228 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1229 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1230 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1232 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1233 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1235 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1237 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1238 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1239 to stdin, such as exmh.
1241 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1242 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1243 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1246 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1248 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1249 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1250 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1251 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1252 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1253 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1254 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1256 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1258 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1259 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1261 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1263 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1264 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1266 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1268 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1271 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1272 along with any -host or -user option.
1274 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1276 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1278 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1279 process was fresh in my mind.
1281 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1283 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1284 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1286 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1288 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1290 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1293 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1294 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1295 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1296 part of the program's name.
1298 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1299 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1302 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1304 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1305 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1306 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1307 single-character format would cause programs using this
1308 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1309 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1310 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1311 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1314 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1317 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1318 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1319 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1320 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1321 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1323 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1324 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1325 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1326 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1327 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1328 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1329 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1330 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1332 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1333 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1334 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1335 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1336 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1337 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1338 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1339 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1340 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1341 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1343 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1345 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1346 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1348 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1349 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1351 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1356 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1358 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1359 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1360 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1361 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1363 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1364 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1365 problem in the routine.
1367 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1369 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1370 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1372 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1373 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1374 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1377 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1379 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1380 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1381 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1382 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1383 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1384 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1385 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1386 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1387 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1388 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1390 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1392 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1393 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1394 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1395 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1396 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1397 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1398 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1399 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1400 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1401 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1402 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1403 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1405 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1406 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1407 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1408 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1409 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1411 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1414 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1416 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1417 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1418 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1419 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1422 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1424 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1426 * Applied, after some finessing,
1427 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1429 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1431 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1433 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1434 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1435 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1436 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1438 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1440 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1441 forgetting to do so!).
1443 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1444 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1445 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1446 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1447 arguments to enable all three types.
1449 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1450 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1452 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1453 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1454 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1455 updated copy of mts.conf.
1457 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1459 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1460 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1461 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1463 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1465 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1467 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1468 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1469 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1471 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1472 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1473 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1475 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1476 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1477 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1479 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1481 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1483 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1485 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1487 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1488 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1490 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1491 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1492 certain suffix to run properly.
1494 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1495 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1496 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1498 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1499 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1500 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1501 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1502 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1503 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1504 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1506 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1508 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1509 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1510 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1511 until some year far in the future).
1513 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1515 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1517 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1518 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1520 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1521 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1524 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1526 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1527 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1528 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1529 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1530 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1531 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1533 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1535 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1537 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1538 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1539 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1541 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1542 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1543 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1544 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1545 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1546 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1549 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1550 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1551 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1552 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1553 of masquerading individually.
1555 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1556 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1557 GECOS field delimiters.
1559 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1561 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1562 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1563 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1564 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1565 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1566 and explaining the feature.
1568 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1570 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1571 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1574 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1575 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1576 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1578 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1579 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1580 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1581 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1583 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1584 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1585 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1588 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1590 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1591 code to be executed.
1593 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1595 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1597 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1598 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1599 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1600 quotes embedded in them.
1602 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1604 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1605 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1606 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1607 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1608 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1609 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1610 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1613 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1614 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1615 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1616 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1617 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1619 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1621 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1623 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1624 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1625 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1626 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1628 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1631 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1633 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1635 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1637 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1638 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1639 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1641 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1644 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1646 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1647 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1648 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1649 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1650 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1651 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1653 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1654 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1656 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1658 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1661 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1663 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1664 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1665 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1668 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1669 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1670 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1671 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1672 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1673 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1674 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1675 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1676 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1677 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1678 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1679 processing that post has).
1681 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1683 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1684 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1685 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1686 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1687 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1688 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1691 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1693 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1695 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1697 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1699 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1700 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1702 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1705 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1707 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1708 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1709 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1712 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1714 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1715 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1716 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1717 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1718 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1719 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1721 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1723 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1725 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1727 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1728 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1729 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1730 caught again. This works for now.
1732 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1734 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1736 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1737 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1739 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1741 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1742 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1744 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1746 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1748 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1750 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1751 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1753 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1755 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1756 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1757 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1758 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1759 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1762 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1764 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1765 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1766 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1768 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1769 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1772 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1774 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1775 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1776 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1778 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1780 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1781 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1783 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1785 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1788 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1789 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1791 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1792 macros, regardless of platform.
1794 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1795 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1797 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1798 with x-conversions=gzip.
1800 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1802 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1805 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1806 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1807 implicit definition of ioctl().
1809 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1810 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1811 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1812 want to mess with them.
1814 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1816 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1817 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1819 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1820 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1822 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1823 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1824 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1826 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1827 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1828 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1830 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1831 function initgroups.
1833 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1836 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1837 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1840 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1841 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1844 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1845 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1849 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1851 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1852 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1853 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1855 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1856 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1858 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1860 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1862 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1863 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1864 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1865 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1867 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1868 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1870 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1872 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1874 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1876 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1877 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1879 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1881 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1882 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1884 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1885 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1886 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1887 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1889 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1890 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1892 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1894 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1895 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1897 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1899 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1900 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1903 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1905 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1907 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1909 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1910 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1912 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1913 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1914 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1916 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1917 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1918 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1920 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1921 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1922 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1924 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1925 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1928 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1929 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1931 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1932 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1934 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1935 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1937 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1938 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1939 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1941 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1942 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1944 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1945 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1946 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1948 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1949 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1952 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1953 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1955 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1956 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1957 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1958 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1960 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1961 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1963 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1967 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1968 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1969 would not be changed.
1971 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1972 one from the Apache web server.
1974 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1975 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1977 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1978 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1979 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1981 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1983 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1985 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1986 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1989 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1990 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1991 removes a bad race condition.
1993 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1996 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1997 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1998 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2000 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2001 sequence information.
2003 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2004 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2006 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2009 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2012 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2014 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2015 interpret 034 as octal.
2017 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2019 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2020 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2022 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2023 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2025 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2026 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2028 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2029 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2031 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2032 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2034 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2035 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2036 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2038 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2039 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2040 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2042 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2044 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2046 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2047 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2050 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2052 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2053 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2055 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2056 header field information.
2058 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2059 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2061 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2062 values when parsing a content.
2064 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2065 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2067 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2068 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2070 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2071 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2073 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2074 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2076 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2078 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2080 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2082 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2084 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2085 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2088 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2089 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2091 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2092 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2093 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2094 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2095 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2096 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2099 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2101 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2102 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2103 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2105 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2106 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2108 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2110 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2111 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2112 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2113 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2115 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2116 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2119 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2120 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2121 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2122 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2125 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2127 * Released nmh-0.27.
2129 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2130 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2132 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2133 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2134 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2135 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2138 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2139 mhbuild returns an error.
2141 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2142 rename the draft file.
2144 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2145 use a global variable.
2147 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2148 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2150 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2151 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2153 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2154 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2155 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2157 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2158 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2160 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2161 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2164 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2165 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2168 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2169 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2171 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2172 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2173 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2175 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2176 to new function output_content_folder.
2178 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2179 new function output_content_file.
2181 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2182 to new function parse_format_string.
2184 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2185 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2186 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2187 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2189 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2190 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2191 message/external file from ftp.
2193 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2194 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2195 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2197 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2198 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2201 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2204 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2205 new file mhstoresbr.c
2207 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2210 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2211 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2213 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2214 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2216 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2217 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2218 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2220 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2222 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2224 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2225 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2228 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2229 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2231 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2234 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2236 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2238 * Released nmh-0.26.
2240 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2241 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2242 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2243 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2245 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2246 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2247 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2248 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2249 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2251 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2252 But it is not on by default.
2254 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2255 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2257 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2259 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2261 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2263 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2265 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2266 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2268 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2270 * Released nmh-0.25.
2272 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2273 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2274 uses the original name of the library.
2276 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2277 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2280 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2281 list_content and list_debug.
2283 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2285 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2286 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2288 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2290 * Released nmh-0.24.
2292 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2294 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2295 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2297 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2298 large sequence line.
2300 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2302 * Released nmh-0.23.
2304 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2306 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2307 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2308 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2309 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2311 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2312 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2315 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2317 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2319 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2321 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2322 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2324 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2325 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2327 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2328 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2330 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2331 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2333 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2335 * Released nmh-0.22.
2337 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2338 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2340 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2342 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2343 mh-profile(5) man page.
2345 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2346 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2348 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2350 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2352 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2353 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2355 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2357 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2358 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2359 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2361 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2362 source message on the standard input.
2364 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2366 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2367 rather than -rfc934mode.
2369 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2370 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2373 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2374 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2376 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2379 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2381 * Released nmh-0.21.
2383 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2384 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2386 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2389 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2390 to use for text contents.
2392 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2394 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2398 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2400 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2401 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2403 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2404 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2405 spaces between encoded word are.
2407 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2409 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2410 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2412 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2413 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2414 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2416 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2418 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2419 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2421 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2423 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2425 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2426 ISO-8859-X character set.
2428 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2431 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2432 permissions, not write permissions.
2434 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2435 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2437 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2440 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2442 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2444 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2445 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2447 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2448 message contains valid character set.
2450 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2451 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2453 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2454 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2456 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2457 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2458 between an encoded word and normal text.
2460 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2461 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2463 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2464 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2466 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2469 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2470 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2473 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2474 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2476 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2477 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2479 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2481 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2483 * Released nmh-0.20.
2485 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2487 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2489 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2490 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2491 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2493 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2494 and the To: line was missing.
2496 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2498 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2502 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2503 watch the POP transaction.
2505 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2506 first, and use it if available.
2508 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2509 first, and use it if available.
2511 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2513 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2515 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2516 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2517 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2520 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2521 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2522 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2524 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2525 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2528 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2530 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2531 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2533 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2535 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2536 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2538 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2539 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2540 message to which you are replying.
2542 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2543 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2544 making group replies.
2546 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2548 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2550 * Released nmh-0.19.
2552 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2553 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2555 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2556 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2557 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2558 to the end of the man page.
2560 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2561 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2562 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2563 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2564 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2565 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2567 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2570 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2571 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2572 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2574 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2575 the next available number above the message number you wish
2578 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2579 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2581 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2582 file sbr/seq_print.c
2584 * flist will now update the current folder.
2586 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2587 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2588 but now undocumented.
2590 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2593 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2594 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2596 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2598 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2599 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2601 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603 * Released nmh-0.18.
2605 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2606 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2607 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2609 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2610 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2612 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2613 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2614 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2615 previous public/private status.
2617 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2620 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2623 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2624 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2625 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2627 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2628 take option to determine whether it should get current
2629 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2630 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2632 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2634 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2635 wait for stopped processes.
2637 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2638 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2640 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2642 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2644 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2645 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2647 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2648 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2650 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2651 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2652 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2653 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2655 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2658 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2661 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2663 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2664 the debugging output.
2666 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2667 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2669 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2671 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2673 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2674 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2676 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2678 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2679 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2680 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2681 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2682 in the given sequence.
2684 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2685 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2686 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2687 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2688 subdirectories of a given directory.
2690 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2691 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2692 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2694 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2695 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2697 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2699 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2702 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2703 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2704 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2706 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2707 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2708 are calculated at runtime.
2710 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2714 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2715 about checking for global mh.profile.
2717 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2718 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2719 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2720 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2721 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2722 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2724 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2725 adding message to folder itself.
2727 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2728 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2729 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2732 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2733 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2736 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2737 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2738 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2740 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2741 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2743 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2744 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2745 code to use it yet).
2747 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2749 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2751 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2752 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2754 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2755 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2757 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2759 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2762 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2766 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2768 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2770 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2771 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2773 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2775 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2777 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2779 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2781 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2783 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2784 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2786 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2787 configuration files.
2789 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2791 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2793 * Released nmh-0.17.
2795 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2797 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2798 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2800 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2803 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2804 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2806 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2807 number of refiled message.
2809 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2811 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2812 for return value of wait().

2816 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2818 * Released nmh-0.16.
2820 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2824 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2825 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2826 deal with binary messages, yet).
2828 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2830 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2832 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2833 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2834 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2835 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2836 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2837 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2839 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2840 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2842 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2843 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2845 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2846 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2849 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2851 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2853 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2854 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2857 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2860 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2862 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2863 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2864 which used unsigned chars by default.
2866 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * Released nmh-0.15.
2870 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2875 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2877 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2880 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2881 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2882 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2884 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2885 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2887 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2889 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2890 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2892 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2893 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2894 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2895 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2897 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2898 and put in own subroutine.
2900 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2901 and put in own subroutine.
2903 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2904 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2905 refile.c to use new routine.
2907 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2909 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2911 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2914 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2915 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2916 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2918 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2921 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2922 adding message to sequence.

2925 corresponding file in sbr.
2927 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2930 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2932 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2933 all selected messages from a sequence.
2935 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2936 selected messages to a sequence.
2938 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2941 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2943 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2944 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2946 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2948 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2967 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2968 environment variable.
2970 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2971 draft folder facility in nmh.
2973 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2985 * Released nmh-0.13.
2987 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2988 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2989 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2990 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2993 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2994 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2996 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2998 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2999 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3001 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3025 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3028 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3029 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3031 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3032 will suppress the display of the message header.
3034 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3036 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3037 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3039 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3041 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3043 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3045 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3046 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3048 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3049 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3051 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3053 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3055 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3056 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3058 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3059 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3061 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Released nmh-0.10.

3073 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3075 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3076 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3078 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3083 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3084 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3086 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3088 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3116 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3118 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3119 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3121 * Released nmh-0.08.
3123 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3124 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3125 locking database itself.
3127 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3129 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3131 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3132 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3135 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3136 rather than mmdf format.
3138 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3139 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3140 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3141 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3143 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3145 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3147 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3150 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3151 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3152 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3154 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3155 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3156 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3158 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3160 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3161 can still easily change this in config.h).
3163 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3164 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3165 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3167 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3169 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3184 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3186 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3187 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3190 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3191 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3193 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3194 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3196 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3198 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3200 * Added configure check for tzset.

3204 * Released nmh-0.06.
3206 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3207 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3209 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3210 many such machines around anymore.
3212 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3213 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3215 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3216 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3218 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3221 pre-generated version if necessary.
3223 * Released nmh-0.05.
3225 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3226 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3227 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3228 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3230 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3231 be linked in one pass.
3233 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3235 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3236 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3238 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3240 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3242 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3244 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3245 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3246 become the current folder.
3248 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * Released nmh-0.04.
3252 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3255 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3257 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3258 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3259 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3261 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3263 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3264 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3266 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3268 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3269 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3272 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3273 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3275 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3277 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3278 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3279 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3280 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3281 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3282 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3284 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3286 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3287 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3289 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3290 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3292 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3294 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3295 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3297 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3300 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3301 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3303 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * Released nmh-0.03.
3307 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3308 .mh_sequence file existed.
3310 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3311 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3313 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3314 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3317 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3319 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3322 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3325 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3326 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3328 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3330 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3331 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3332 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3334 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3336 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3337 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3339 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3341 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3343 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3344 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3345 directory from where the source code is located.
3347 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3349 * Released nmh-0.02.

3359 and sys_nerr directly.
3361 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3363 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3365 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3367 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3369 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3370 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3371 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3372 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3373 rather than in script.
3375 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3377 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3379 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3384 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3385 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3387 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3388 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3389 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3390 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3393 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3395 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3396 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3398 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3401 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3403 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3405 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3406 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3408 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3410 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3411 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3413 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3415 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3416 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3417 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3418 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3419 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3420 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3422 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3424 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3426 * Released nmh-0.01.
3428 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3429 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3430 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3433 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3435 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3438 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3440 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3441 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3443 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3445 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3446 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3447 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3448 script to find_program.
3450 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3452 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3453 speed up -recurse option.
3455 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3456 yet, but it compiles :-)
3458 * Changed default location for install to
3459 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3460 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3461 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3464 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3465 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3466 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
