+
+ * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
+
+ * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
+ old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
+
+ * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
+ the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
+
+2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
+
+ * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
+ logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
+ existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
+ flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
+ Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
+ the signature.
+
+2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
+
+ * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
+ widths, restoring right justification feature
+
+2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
+
+ * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
+ sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
+ uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
+
+ * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte

+
+2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
+
+ * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
+ handling multi column characters.
+
+2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
+
+ * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
+
+2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
+
+ * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
+ into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
+ has been removed.
+
+2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>

+
+2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
+ says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
+ $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
+ causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
+
+2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
+ (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
+ libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
+ --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
+ where configure's autodetection fails.
+
+2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
+ configure script change.
+
+2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
+ find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
+ compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
+ systems with libdb4.
+
+2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>

+
+2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
+
+ * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
+ which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
+
+2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
+
+ * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
+ if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
+
+ * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
+ anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
+ the first one.
+
+ * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
+ retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
+ annotated messages.
+
+2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
+
+ * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
+ vi isn't found during build.
+
+2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
+ "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
+
+ * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
+ that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
+ are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
+
+2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
+ (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
+
+ * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
+ sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
+ "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
+ takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
+ very slow).
+
+ * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
+ it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
+ from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
+
+ * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
+ entry in the context file.
+
+2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
+
+ * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
+ problems on some systems
+
+ * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid

+
+2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>

+2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
+
+ * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
+ possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
+ crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
+
+ * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
+ was configured with --enable-apop.
+
+ * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
+ crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
+ Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
+
+ * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
+ new versions of flex.
+
+ * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
+ error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
+ doesn't guess wrongly.

+
+ * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
+ sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for

+
+2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
+

+
+2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
+
+ * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen

+
+2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
+
+ * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch

+
+ * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to

+
+2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
+
+ * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
+ uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
+ folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
+ the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
+ a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
+ path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
+ was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
+ that path.
+
+2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
+
+ * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
+ called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
+ the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
+ renamed.
+
+ * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
+ refiling with -src option.
+
+2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
+
+ * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
+
+2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
+
+ * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
+ mailpath being overwritten.
+
+ * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
+
+ * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
+ ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
+ problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
+ mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
+ subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
+ reinitializes the tmp file string.
+
+ * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
+ if a format string was read from the profile.
+
+ * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
+ path for the external hook.
+
+2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
+
+ * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
+ another location for ndbm.
+
+2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
+
+ * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
+ independent.
+ * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
+ to empty folder.
+ * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
+
+ Debian Bug#
+ 136976 - Handle binary content messages
+ 143427 - mh-format.man typo
+ 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
+ w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
+ 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
+ 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
+ The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
+ to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
+ 181867 - typo for nmh.man
+
+2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
+
+ * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
+ is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
+ contitional code which will result in cached data to
+ be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
+ and parse on the first use.
+ * Remove some unused flag bits.
+
+Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
+
+ * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
+ systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
+ * Fixes for bugs
+ #578 - repl leaks umask
+ #1393 - sortm core dumps
+ #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
+ #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
+ #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
+ RFC2822 compliant
+ * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
+ * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
+
+Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
+ `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
+
+Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
+ Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
+ to docs/README.about.
+
+Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
+
+ * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
+ a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
+ but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
+ subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
+ enough).
+
+Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
+ shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
+ many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
+ Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
+ else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
+ is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
+ as well.
+
+ * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
+ summary configure prints out.
+
+ * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
+ me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
+ subjectively more readable) format.
+
+Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
+ all nmh commands.
+
+Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
+ 19xx when it's not necessary.
+
+Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * First round of manpage updates finished. They
+ are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
+ roff mark-up.
+
+ * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
+ manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
+ strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
+ sourcing outside the man tree will now format
+ the man pages correctly.
+
+ * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
+
+Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Finished manpages ali-prev
+
+ * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
+ Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
+ mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
+ structure.
+
+ * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
+ uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
+ though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
+ is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
+
+Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
+ the formatting rules I've been using.
+
+ * Finished ali-inc.
+
+Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
+ of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
+ used in the manpages.
+
+ * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
+ of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
+ read in the contents of the file as the variable
+ $DATE.
+
+ * Started work on updating man pages, with only
+ ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
+ on an external macro file, 2) uses only
+ -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
+ 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
+ in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
+ bold flags and italicized parameters.
+
+Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Updated INSTALL with information about the
+ --with-locking option.
+
+ * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
+ systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
+ information was not being communicated to the
+ HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
+ in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
+ in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
+ HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
+ undefined symbols problems.
+
+ * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
+ versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
+ to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
+ new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
+ this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
+ and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
+ for a genuine krb4 installation.
+
+Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
+ -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
+
+Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Made a new ./configure option called
+ "--with-locking" that allows the file
+ locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
+ requiring a manual edit of config.h.
+
+ * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
+ invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
+ chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
+ "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
+ the user that these are the valid options, and
+ change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
+ descriptive enough.
+
+Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
+ beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
+ committed to supporting flex only, since
+ lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
+ string, as well as other problems documented
+ below and on nmh-workers.
+
+ * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
+ test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
+ should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
+ the flag.
+
+ * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
+ as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
+
+Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
+ as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
+ Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
+
+Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
+ documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
+
+Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
+ versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
+ 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
+ on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
+ couldn't correctly identify them.
+
+Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
+ zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
+ mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
+ (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
+ not depending on an external archive.
+
+ * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
+ Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
+ mts/generic is no longer built.
+
+Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
+ libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
+ causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
+ ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
+ Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
+ libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
+ needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
+ dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
+
+Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
+ I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
+ correct.
+
+Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
+ makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
+ mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
+ now finally mts.
+
+ * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
+ compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
+ smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
+ old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
+
+ * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
+ in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
+ Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
+ into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
+ merged into the smtp code).
+
+ * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
+ complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
+ appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
+ of it for us.
+
+ * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
+ snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
+ above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
+ obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
+ not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
+ back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
+ in the appropriate Makefile.in
+
+Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
+ zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
+ parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
+ some cases did not know about the textual representation of
+ some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
+ date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
+ zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
+ things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
+ time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
+ info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
+ current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
+
+Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
+ scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
+ extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
+ past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
+ 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
+ column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
+ space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
+ (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
+ -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
+
+Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
+ viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
+ able to access them.
+
+Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
+ each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
+
+Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
+
+ * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
+ the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
+ building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
+ external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
+
+Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
+ out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
+ that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
+ timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
+ -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
+
+ * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
+ added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
+
+ * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
+
+Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
+ rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
+ people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
+ when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
+
+ * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
+ previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
+ unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
+ would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
+
+ * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
+ Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
+ it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
+ work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
+
+ * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
+ overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
+ autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
+
+ * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
+
+ I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
+ basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
+ variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
+ this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
+ /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
+ the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
+ my users.
+
+ Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
+ $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
+
+ * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
+ added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
+
+Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
+
+ * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
+
+Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
+ changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
+ problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
+ I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
+
+Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
+
+ * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
+ be easily changed from "," to "#".
+
+ * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
+
+ * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
+
+ * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
+ in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
+ README.developers.
+
+Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
+ SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
+ SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
+ but not for the subsequent data stream.
+
+Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
+
+ * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
+ implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
+ with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
+ post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
+ SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
+
+Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
+ smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
+
+ * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
+ cat, also define lorder as echo.
+
+ * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
+
+Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
+ clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
+ dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
+
+Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
+ #if 0 block).
+
+ * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
+ and error handling in uip/inc.c.
+
+Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
+ input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
+
+Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
+ inc does not need to be setgid.
+
+Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
+ library, as found on Debian systems.
+
+ * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
+
+Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
+ increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
+ wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
+ case-insensitivity flag.
+
+Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
+
+ * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
+ to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
+
+Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
+ sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
+ dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
+ the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
+ versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
+ call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
+ the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
+ to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
+ getting moved aside).
+
+ * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
+ new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
+
+ * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
+
+ In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
+ call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
+ depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
+ mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
+ calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
+ was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
+ doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
+ lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
+ the prototype, but never sets it.
+
+ My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
+ checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
+ map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
+ variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
+ fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
+ being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
+
+ Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
+ triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
+ but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
+ In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
+ descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
+
+Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
+ tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
+ of tws.h.
+
+ * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
+ old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
+ dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
+ with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
+ version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
+ about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
+ for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
+
+Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Added autoconf check for getutent().
+
+ * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
+ friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
+ this works on other systems.
+
+Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
+ checks for write failures.
+
+ * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
+
+ * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
+
+ * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
+ is patched in.
+
+ * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
+
+ * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
+
+Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
+
+ * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
+ incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
+ a buffer boundary.
+
+Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
+ Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
+ -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
+ old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
+
+Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
+ the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
+ place.
+
+ * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
+ as well as Makefiles.
+
+Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
+ seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
+ pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
+ should make maintainability easier.
+
+ * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
+ to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
+ something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
+ whatever you know works.
+
+Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
+ enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
+ rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
+
+ * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
+ #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
+ "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
+ of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
+
+ * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
+ number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
+ dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
+
+ * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
+ --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
+ introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
+ as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
+ the lex output file) even with -Wall.
+
+ * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
+ getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
+ version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
+ nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
+ upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
+ and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
+ char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
+ copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
+ from the BSD version.
+
+ * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
+ section to README.developers (currently just says to use
+ nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
+
+ * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
+ in ruserpass.c also.
+
+ * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
+ report:
+
+ This happens on solaris:
+
+ % man mts.conf
+ windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
+ No manual entry for mts.conf.
+
+ It is fixed by
+
+ % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
+
+ done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
+ reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
+
+Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
+ histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
+ nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
+ fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
+ but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
+ originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
+ used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
+ `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
+ file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
+ diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
+ a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
+
+ * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
+ awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
+ --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
+ --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
+ --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
+ transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
+ out of nowhere.
+
+ * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
+ making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
+ tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
+ files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
+ by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
+
+ * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
+ rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
+
+Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
+ revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
+ to stdin, such as exmh.
+
+ * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
+ phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
+ we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
+ other files.
+
+Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
+ manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
+ command so that you can move files (without having physical access
+ to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
+ the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
+ variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
+ missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
+
+Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
+
+ * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
+ subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
+
+Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
+ for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
+
+Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
+
+ * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
+ --enable-apop.
+
+ * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
+ along with any -host or -user option.
+
+Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
+
+ * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
+ process was fresh in my mind.
+
+Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
+ ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
+
+ * Released nmh-1.0.4.
+
+Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
+ patch:
+
+ It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
+ iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
+ to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
+ part of the program's name.
+
+ This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
+ mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
+ to quote.
+
+Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
+
+ * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
+ format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
+ format characters with an empty item at the end. A
+ single-character format would cause programs using this
+ function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
+ the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
+ when the format string was one character. This eventually
+ caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
+ in the array.
+
+Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
+ Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
+ nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
+ back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
+ can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
+ "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
+
+ I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
+ ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
+ mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
+ to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
+ ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
+ versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
+ <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
+ are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
+
+ I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
+ based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
+ and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
+ loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
+ HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
+ tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
+ doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
+ some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
+ MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
+ and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
+
+Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
+
+ * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
+ fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
+
+ Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
+ while attempting to process some MIME messages:
+
+ (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
+ exit 2
+
+ and:
+
+ (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
+
+ (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
+ mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
+ mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
+ mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
+
+ Resolving the pointer reference issue in
+ mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
+ problem in the routine.
+
Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
- * applied Todd Miller's <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com> patch to

* Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
