3 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
4 vi isn't found during build.
6 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
9 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
11 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
12 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
13 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
15 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
17 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
18 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
20 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
21 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
22 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
23 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
26 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
27 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
28 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
30 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
31 entry in the context file.
33 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
35 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
36 problems on some systems
38 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
39 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
41 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
43 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
44 sendmail isn't found during build.
46 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
48 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
50 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
52 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
53 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
55 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
56 references to the web page and mailing list locations
58 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
59 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
61 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
64 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
66 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
67 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
68 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
70 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
71 was configured with --enable-apop.
73 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
74 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
75 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
77 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
80 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
81 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
82 doesn't guess wrongly.
84 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
86 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
87 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
89 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
90 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
92 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
93 files with numbers as names
95 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
97 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
99 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
101 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
103 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
104 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
106 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
108 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
111 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
112 test/report error writing to stdout
114 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
116 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
118 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
119 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
120 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
122 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
123 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
124 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
126 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
128 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
129 character set used by the current locale
131 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
132 message's filename overflows an int when converted
134 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
135 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
137 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
139 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
142 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
144 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
145 from Michael Richardson.
147 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
148 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
150 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
152 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
153 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
155 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
157 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
158 find sub-parts of the specified part
160 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
162 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
163 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
164 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
165 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
166 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
167 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
168 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
171 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
173 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
174 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
175 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
178 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
179 refiling with -src option.
181 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
183 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
185 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
187 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
188 mailpath being overwritten.
190 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
192 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
193 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
194 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
195 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
196 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
197 reinitializes the tmp file string.
199 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
200 if a format string was read from the profile.
202 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
203 path for the external hook.
205 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
207 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
208 another location for ndbm.
210 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
212 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
214 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
216 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
219 136976 - Handle binary content messages
220 143427 - mh-format.man typo
221 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
222 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
223 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
224 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
225 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
226 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
227 181867 - typo for nmh.man
229 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
231 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
232 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
233 contitional code which will result in cached data to
234 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
235 and parse on the first use.
236 * Remove some unused flag bits.
238 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
240 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
241 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
243 #578 - repl leaks umask
244 #1393 - sortm core dumps
245 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
246 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
247 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
249 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
250 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
252 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
255 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
257 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
259 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
260 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
261 to docs/README.about.
263 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
265 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
267 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
268 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
269 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
270 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
273 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
275 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
276 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
277 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
278 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
279 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
280 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
283 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
284 summary configure prints out.
286 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
287 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
288 subjectively more readable) format.
290 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
292 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
295 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
297 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
298 19xx when it's not necessary.
300 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
302 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
303 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
306 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
307 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
308 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
309 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
310 the man pages correctly.
312 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
314 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
316 * Finished manpages ali-prev
318 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
319 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
320 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
323 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
324 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
325 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
326 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
328 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
330 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
331 the formatting rules I've been using.
335 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
337 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
338 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
339 used in the manpages.
341 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
342 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
343 read in the contents of the file as the variable
346 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
347 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
348 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
349 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
350 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
351 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
352 bold flags and italicized parameters.
354 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
356 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
357 --with-locking option.
359 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
360 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
361 information was not being communicated to the
362 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
363 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
364 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
365 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
366 undefined symbols problems.
368 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
369 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
370 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
371 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
372 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
373 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
374 for a genuine krb4 installation.
376 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
378 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
379 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
381 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
383 * Made a new ./configure option called
384 "--with-locking" that allows the file
385 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
386 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
388 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
389 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
390 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
391 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
392 the user that these are the valid options, and
393 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
396 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
398 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
399 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
400 committed to supporting flex only, since
401 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
402 string, as well as other problems documented
403 below and on nmh-workers.
405 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
406 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
407 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
410 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
411 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
413 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
415 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
416 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
417 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
419 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
421 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
422 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
424 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
426 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
427 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
428 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
429 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
430 couldn't correctly identify them.
432 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
434 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
435 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
436 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
437 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
438 not depending on an external archive.
440 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
441 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
442 mts/generic is no longer built.
444 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
446 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
447 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
448 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
449 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
450 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
451 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
452 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
453 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
455 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
457 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
458 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
461 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
463 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
464 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
465 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
468 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
469 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
470 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
471 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
473 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
474 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
475 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
476 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
477 merged into the smtp code).
479 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
480 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
481 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
484 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
485 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
486 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
487 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
488 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
489 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
490 in the appropriate Makefile.in
492 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
494 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
495 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
496 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
497 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
498 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
499 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
500 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
501 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
502 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
503 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
504 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
506 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
508 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
509 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
510 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
511 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
512 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
513 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
514 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
515 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
516 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
518 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
520 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
521 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
524 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
526 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
527 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
529 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
531 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
532 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
533 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
534 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
536 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
538 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
539 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
540 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
541 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
542 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
544 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
545 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
547 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
549 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
551 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
552 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
553 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
554 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
556 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
557 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
558 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
559 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
561 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
562 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
563 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
564 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
566 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
567 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
568 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
570 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
572 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
573 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
574 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
575 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
576 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
577 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
580 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
581 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
583 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
584 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
586 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
588 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
590 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
592 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
593 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
594 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
595 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
597 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
599 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
600 be easily changed from "," to "#".
602 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
604 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
606 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
607 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
610 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
612 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
613 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
614 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
615 but not for the subsequent data stream.
617 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
619 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
620 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
621 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
622 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
623 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
625 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
627 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
628 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
630 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
631 cat, also define lorder as echo.
633 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
635 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
637 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
638 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
639 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
641 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
643 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
646 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
647 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
649 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
651 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
652 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
654 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
656 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
657 inc does not need to be setgid.
659 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
661 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
662 library, as found on Debian systems.
664 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
666 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
668 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
669 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
670 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
671 case-insensitivity flag.
673 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
675 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
676 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
678 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
680 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
681 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
682 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
683 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
684 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
685 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
686 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
687 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
688 getting moved aside).
690 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
691 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
693 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
695 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
696 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
697 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
698 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
699 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
700 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
701 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
702 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
703 the prototype, but never sets it.
705 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
706 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
707 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
708 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
709 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
710 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
712 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
713 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
714 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
715 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
716 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
718 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
720 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
721 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
724 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
725 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
726 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
727 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
728 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
729 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
730 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
732 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
734 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
736 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
737 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
738 this works on other systems.
740 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
742 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
743 checks for write failures.
745 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
747 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
749 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
752 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
754 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
756 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
758 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
759 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
762 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
764 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
765 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
766 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
767 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
769 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
771 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
772 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
775 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
776 as well as Makefiles.
778 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
780 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
781 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
782 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
783 should make maintainability easier.
785 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
786 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
787 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
788 whatever you know works.
790 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
792 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
793 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
794 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
796 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
797 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
798 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
799 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
801 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
802 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
803 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
805 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
806 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
807 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
808 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
809 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
811 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
812 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
813 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
814 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
815 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
816 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
817 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
818 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
819 from the BSD version.
821 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
822 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
823 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
825 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
828 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
831 This happens on solaris:
834 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
835 No manual entry for mts.conf.
839 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
841 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
842 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
844 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
846 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
847 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
848 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
849 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
850 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
851 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
852 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
853 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
854 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
855 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
856 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
858 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
859 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
860 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
861 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
862 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
863 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
866 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
867 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
868 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
869 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
870 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
872 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
873 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
875 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
877 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
878 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
879 to stdin, such as exmh.
881 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
882 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
883 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
886 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
888 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
889 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
890 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
891 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
892 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
893 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
894 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
896 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
898 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
899 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
901 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
903 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
904 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
906 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
908 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
911 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
912 along with any -host or -user option.
914 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
916 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
918 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
919 process was fresh in my mind.
921 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
923 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
924 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
926 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
928 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
930 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
933 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
934 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
935 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
936 part of the program's name.
938 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
939 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
942 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
944 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
945 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
946 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
947 single-character format would cause programs using this
948 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
949 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
950 when the format string was one character. This eventually
951 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
954 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
956 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
957 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
958 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
959 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
960 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
961 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
963 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
964 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
965 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
966 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
967 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
968 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
969 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
970 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
972 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
973 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
974 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
975 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
976 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
977 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
978 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
979 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
980 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
981 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
983 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
985 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
986 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
988 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
989 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
991 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
996 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
998 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
999 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1000 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1001 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1003 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1004 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1005 problem in the routine.
1007 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1009 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1010 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1012 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1013 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1014 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1017 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1019 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1020 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1021 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1022 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1023 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1024 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1025 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1026 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1027 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1028 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1030 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1032 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1033 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1034 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1035 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1036 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1037 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1038 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1039 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1040 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1041 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1042 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1043 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1045 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1046 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1047 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1048 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1049 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1051 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1054 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1056 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1057 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1058 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1059 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1062 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1064 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1066 * Applied, after some finessing,
1067 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1069 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1071 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1073 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1074 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1075 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1076 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1078 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1080 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1081 forgetting to do so!).
1083 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1084 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1085 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1086 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1087 arguments to enable all three types.
1089 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1090 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1092 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1093 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1094 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1095 updated copy of mts.conf.
1097 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1099 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1100 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1101 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1103 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1105 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1107 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1108 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1109 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1111 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1112 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1113 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1115 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1116 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1117 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1119 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1121 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1123 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1125 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1127 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1128 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1130 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1131 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1132 certain suffix to run properly.
1134 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1135 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1136 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1138 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1139 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1140 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1141 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1142 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1143 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1144 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1146 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1148 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1149 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1150 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1151 until some year far in the future).
1153 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1155 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1157 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1158 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1160 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1161 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1164 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1166 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1167 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1168 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1169 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1170 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1171 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1173 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1175 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1177 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1178 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1179 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1181 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1182 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1183 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1184 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1185 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1186 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1189 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1190 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1191 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1192 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1193 of masquerading individually.
1195 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1196 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1197 GECOS field delimiters.
1199 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1201 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1202 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1203 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1204 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1205 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1206 and explaining the feature.
1208 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1211 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1214 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1215 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1216 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1218 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1219 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1220 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1221 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1223 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1224 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1225 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1228 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1230 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1231 code to be executed.
1233 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1235 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1238 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1239 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1240 quotes embedded in them.
1242 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1245 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1246 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1247 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1248 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1249 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1250 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1253 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1254 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1255 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1256 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1257 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1259 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1261 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1263 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1264 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1265 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1266 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1268 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1271 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1273 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1275 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1277 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1278 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1279 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1281 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1284 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1286 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1287 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1288 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1289 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1290 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1291 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1293 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1294 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1296 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1298 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1301 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1303 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1304 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1305 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1308 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1309 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1310 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1311 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1312 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1313 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1314 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1315 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1316 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1317 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1318 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1319 processing that post has).
1321 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1323 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1324 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1325 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1326 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1327 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1328 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1331 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1333 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1335 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1337 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1339 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1340 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1342 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1345 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1347 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1348 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1349 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1352 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1354 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1355 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1356 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1357 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1358 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1359 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1361 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1363 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1365 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1367 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1368 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1369 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1370 caught again. This works for now.
1372 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1374 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1376 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1377 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1379 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1381 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1382 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1384 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1386 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1388 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1390 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1391 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1393 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1395 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1396 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1397 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1398 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1399 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1402 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1404 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1405 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1406 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1408 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1409 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1412 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1414 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1415 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1416 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1418 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1420 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1421 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1423 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1425 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1428 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1429 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1431 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1432 macros, regardless of platform.
1434 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1435 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1437 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1438 with x-conversions=gzip.
1440 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1442 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1445 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1446 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1447 implicit definition of ioctl().
1449 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1450 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1451 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1452 want to mess with them.
1454 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1456 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1457 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1459 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1460 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1462 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1463 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1464 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1466 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1467 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1468 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1470 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1471 function initgroups.
1473 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1476 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1477 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1480 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1481 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1484 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1485 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1489 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1491 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1492 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1493 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1495 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1496 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1498 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1500 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1502 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1503 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1504 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1505 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1507 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1508 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1510 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1512 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1514 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1516 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1517 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1519 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1521 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1522 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1524 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1525 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1526 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1527 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1529 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1530 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1532 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1534 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1535 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1537 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1539 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1540 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1543 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1545 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1547 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1549 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1550 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1552 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1553 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1554 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1556 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1557 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1558 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1560 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1561 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1562 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1564 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1565 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1568 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1569 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1571 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1572 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1574 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1575 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1577 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1578 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1579 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1581 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1582 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1584 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1585 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1586 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1588 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1589 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1592 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1593 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1595 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1596 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1597 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1598 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1600 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1601 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1603 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1607 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1608 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1609 would not be changed.
1611 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1612 one from the Apache web server.
1614 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1615 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1617 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1618 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1619 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1621 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1623 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1625 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1626 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1629 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1630 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1631 removes a bad race condition.
1633 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1636 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1637 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1638 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1640 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1641 sequence information.
1643 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1644 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1646 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1649 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1652 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1654 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1655 interpret 034 as octal.
1657 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1659 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1660 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1662 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1663 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1665 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1666 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1668 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1669 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1671 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1672 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1674 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1675 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1676 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1678 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1679 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1680 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1682 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1684 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1686 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1687 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1690 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1692 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1693 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1695 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1696 header field information.
1698 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1699 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1701 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1702 values when parsing a content.
1704 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1705 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1707 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1708 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1710 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1711 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1713 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1714 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1716 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1718 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1720 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1722 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1724 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1725 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1728 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1729 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1731 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1732 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1733 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1734 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1735 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1736 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1739 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1741 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1742 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1743 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1745 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1746 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1748 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1750 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1751 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1752 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1753 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1755 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1756 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1759 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1760 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1761 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1762 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1765 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1767 * Released nmh-0.27.
1769 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1770 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1772 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1773 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1774 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1775 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1778 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1779 mhbuild returns an error.
1781 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1782 rename the draft file.
1784 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1785 use a global variable.
1787 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1788 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1790 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1791 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1793 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1794 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1795 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1797 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1798 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1800 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1801 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1804 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1805 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1808 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1809 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1811 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1812 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1813 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1815 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1816 to new function output_content_folder.
1818 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1819 new function output_content_file.
1821 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1822 to new function parse_format_string.
1824 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1825 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1826 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1827 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1829 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1830 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1831 message/external file from ftp.
1833 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1834 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1835 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1837 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1838 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1841 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1844 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1845 new file mhstoresbr.c
1847 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1850 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1851 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1853 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1854 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1856 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1857 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1858 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1860 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1862 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1864 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1865 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1868 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1869 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1871 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1874 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1876 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1878 * Released nmh-0.26.
1880 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1881 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1882 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1883 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1885 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1886 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1887 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1888 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1889 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1891 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1892 But it is not on by default.
1894 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1895 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1897 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1899 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1901 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1903 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1905 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1906 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1908 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1910 * Released nmh-0.25.
1912 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1913 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1914 uses the original name of the library.
1916 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1917 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1920 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1921 list_content and list_debug.
1923 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1925 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1926 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1928 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1930 * Released nmh-0.24.
1932 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1934 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1935 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1937 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1938 large sequence line.
1940 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1942 * Released nmh-0.23.
1944 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1946 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1947 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1948 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1949 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1951 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1952 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1955 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1957 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1959 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1961 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1962 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1964 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1965 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1967 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1968 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1970 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1971 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1973 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1975 * Released nmh-0.22.
1977 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1978 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1980 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1982 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1983 mh-profile(5) man page.
1985 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1986 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1988 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1990 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1992 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1993 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1995 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1997 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1998 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1999 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2001 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2002 source message on the standard input.
2004 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2006 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2007 rather than -rfc934mode.
2009 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2010 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2013 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2014 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2016 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2019 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2021 * Released nmh-0.21.
2023 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2024 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2026 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2029 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2030 to use for text contents.
2032 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2034 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2036 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2038 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2040 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2041 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2043 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2044 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2045 spaces between encoded word are.
2047 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2049 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2050 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2052 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2053 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2054 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2056 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2058 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2059 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2061 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2063 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2065 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2066 ISO-8859-X character set.
2068 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2071 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2072 permissions, not write permissions.
2074 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2075 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2077 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2080 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2082 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2084 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2085 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2087 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2088 message contains valid character set.
2090 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2091 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2093 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2094 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2096 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2097 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2098 between an encoded word and normal text.
2100 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2101 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2103 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2104 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2106 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2109 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2110 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2113 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2114 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2116 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2117 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2119 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2121 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2123 * Released nmh-0.20.
2125 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2127 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2129 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2130 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2131 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2133 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2134 and the To: line was missing.
2136 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2138 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2140 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2142 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2143 watch the POP transaction.
2145 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2146 first, and use it if available.
2148 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2149 first, and use it if available.
2151 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2153 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2155 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2156 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2157 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2160 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2161 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2162 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2164 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2165 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2168 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2170 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2171 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2173 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2175 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2176 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2178 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2179 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2180 message to which you are replying.
2182 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2183 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2184 making group replies.
2186 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2188 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Released nmh-0.19.
2192 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2193 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2195 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2196 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2197 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2198 to the end of the man page.
2200 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2201 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2202 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2203 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2204 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2205 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2207 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2210 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2211 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2212 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2214 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2215 the next available number above the message number you wish
2218 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2219 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2221 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2222 file sbr/seq_print.c
2224 * flist will now update the current folder.
2226 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2227 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2228 but now undocumented.
2230 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2233 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2234 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2236 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2238 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2239 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2241 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2243 * Released nmh-0.18.
2245 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2246 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2247 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2249 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2250 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2252 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2253 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2254 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2255 previous public/private status.
2257 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2260 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2263 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2264 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2265 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2267 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2268 take option to determine whether it should get current
2269 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2270 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2272 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2274 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2275 wait for stopped processes.
2277 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2278 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2280 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2282 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2284 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2285 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2287 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2288 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2290 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2291 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2292 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2293 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2295 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2298 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2301 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2303 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2304 the debugging output.
2306 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2307 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2309 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2313 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2314 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2316 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2318 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2319 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2320 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2321 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2322 in the given sequence.
2324 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2325 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2326 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2327 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2328 subdirectories of a given directory.
2330 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2331 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2332 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2334 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2335 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2337 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2339 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2342 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2343 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2344 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2346 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2347 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2348 are calculated at runtime.
2350 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2352 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2354 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2355 about checking for global mh.profile.
2357 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2358 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2359 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2360 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2361 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2362 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2364 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2365 adding message to folder itself.
2367 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2368 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2369 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2372 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2373 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2376 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2377 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2378 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2380 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2381 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2383 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2384 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2385 code to use it yet).
2387 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2389 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2391 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2392 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2394 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2395 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2397 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2399 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2402 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2404 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2406 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2408 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2410 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2411 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2415 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2417 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2419 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2421 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2423 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2424 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2426 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2427 configuration files.
2429 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2431 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2433 * Released nmh-0.17.
2435 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2437 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2438 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2440 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2443 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2444 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2446 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2447 number of refiled message.
2449 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2451 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2452 for return value of wait().
2454 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2456 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2458 * Released nmh-0.16.
2460 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2462 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2464 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2465 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2466 deal with binary messages, yet).
2468 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2470 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2472 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2473 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2474 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2475 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2476 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2477 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2479 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2480 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2482 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2483 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2485 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2486 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2489 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2491 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2493 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2494 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2497 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2500 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2502 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2503 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2504 which used unsigned chars by default.
2506 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2508 * Released nmh-0.15.
2510 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2515 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2517 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2520 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2521 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2522 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2524 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2525 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2527 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2529 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2530 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2532 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2533 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2534 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2535 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2537 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2538 and put in own subroutine.
2540 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2541 and put in own subroutine.
2543 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2544 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2545 refile.c to use new routine.
2547 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2549 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2551 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2554 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2555 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2556 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2558 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2561 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2562 adding message to sequence.
2564 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2565 corresponding file in sbr.
2567 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2570 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2572 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2573 all selected messages from a sequence.
2575 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2576 selected messages to a sequence.
2578 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2581 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2583 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2584 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2586 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2588 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2589 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.

2601 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2603 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2605 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2606 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2607 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2608 environment variable.
2610 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2611 draft folder facility in nmh.
2613 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2616 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2625 * Released nmh-0.13.
2627 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2628 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2629 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2630 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2633 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2634 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2636 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2639 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2641 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2656 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2657 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2659 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2660 mp->attrstats with macros.
2662 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2665 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2668 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2669 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2671 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2672 will suppress the display of the message header.
2674 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2676 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2677 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2679 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2681 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2683 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2685 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2686 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2688 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2689 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2691 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2693 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2695 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2696 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2698 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2699 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2701 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Released nmh-0.10.

2710 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2713 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2715 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2716 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2718 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2719 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2721 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2724 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2726 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2728 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2733 * Released nmh-0.09.
2735 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2737 * Add configure check for killpg.

2749 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2753 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2754 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2756 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2759 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2761 * Released nmh-0.08.
2763 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2764 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2765 locking database itself.
2767 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2769 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2771 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2772 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2775 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2776 rather than mmdf format.
2778 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2779 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2780 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2781 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2783 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2785 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2787 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2790 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2791 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2792 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2794 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2795 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2796 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2798 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2800 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2801 can still easily change this in config.h).
2803 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2804 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2805 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2807 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2809 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2810 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2814 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2816 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2819 * Released nmh-0.07.
2821 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2823 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2824 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2826 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2827 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2830 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2831 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2833 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2834 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2836 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2838 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2840 * Added configure check for tzset.
2842 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2844 * Released nmh-0.06.
2846 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2847 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2849 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2850 many such machines around anymore.
2852 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2853 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2855 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2856 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2858 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2860 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2861 pre-generated version if necessary.
2863 * Released nmh-0.05.
2865 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2866 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2867 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2868 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2870 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2871 be linked in one pass.
2873 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2875 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2876 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2878 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2880 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2882 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2884 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2885 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2886 become the current folder.
2888 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2890 * Released nmh-0.04.
2892 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2895 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2897 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2898 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2899 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2901 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2904 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2906 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2908 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2909 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2912 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2913 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2915 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2917 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2918 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2919 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2920 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2921 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2922 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2924 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2926 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2927 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2929 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2930 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2932 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2935 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2937 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2939 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2940 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2941 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2943 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2945 * Released nmh-0.03.
2947 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2948 .mh_sequence file existed.
2950 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2951 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2953 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2954 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2957 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2959 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2962 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2965 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2966 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2968 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2970 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2971 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2972 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2974 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2976 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2977 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2979 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2981 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2983 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2984 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2985 directory from where the source code is located.
2987 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Released nmh-0.02.
2991 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2993 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2996 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2998 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2999 and sys_nerr directly.
3001 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3005 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3007 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3009 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3010 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3011 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3012 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3013 rather than in script.
3015 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3017 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3019 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3020 macro defined on Solaris.
3022 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3024 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3025 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3027 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3028 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3029 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3030 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3033 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3035 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3036 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3038 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3041 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3045 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3046 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3048 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3050 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3051 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3053 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3055 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3056 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3057 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3058 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3059 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3060 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3062 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3064 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3066 * Released nmh-0.01.
3068 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3069 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3070 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3073 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3075 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3078 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3080 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3081 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3083 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3085 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3086 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3087 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3088 script to find_program.
3090 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3092 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3093 speed up -recurse option.
3095 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3096 yet, but it compiles :-)
3098 * Changed default location for install to
3099 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3100 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3101 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3104 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3105 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3106 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
