1 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
4 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
7 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
9 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
10 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
12 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
13 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
15 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
16 files with numbers as names
18 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
20 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
22 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
24 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
26 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
27 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
29 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
31 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
34 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
35 test/report error writing to stdout
37 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
39 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
41 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
42 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
43 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
45 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
46 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
47 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
49 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
51 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
52 character set used by the current locale
54 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
55 message's filename overflows an int when converted
57 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
58 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
60 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
62 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
65 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
67 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
68 from Michael Richardson.
70 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
71 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
73 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
75 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
76 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
78 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
80 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
81 find sub-parts of the specified part
83 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
85 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
86 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
87 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
88 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
89 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
90 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
91 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
94 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
96 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
97 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
98 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
101 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
102 refiling with -src option.
104 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
106 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
108 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
110 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
111 mailpath being overwritten.
113 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
115 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
116 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
117 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
118 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
119 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
120 reinitializes the tmp file string.
122 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
123 if a format string was read from the profile.
125 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
126 path for the external hook.
128 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
130 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
131 another location for ndbm.
133 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
135 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
137 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
139 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
142 136976 - Handle binary content messages
143 143427 - mh-format.man typo
144 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
145 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
146 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
147 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
148 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
149 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
150 181867 - typo for nmh.man
152 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
154 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
155 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
156 contitional code which will result in cached data to
157 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
158 and parse on the first use.
159 * Remove some unused flag bits.
161 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
163 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
164 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
166 #578 - repl leaks umask
167 #1393 - sortm core dumps
168 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
169 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
170 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
172 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
173 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
175 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
177 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
178 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
180 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
182 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
183 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
184 to docs/README.about.
186 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
188 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
190 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
191 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
192 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
193 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
196 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
198 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
199 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
200 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
201 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
202 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
203 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
206 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
207 summary configure prints out.
209 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
210 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
211 subjectively more readable) format.
213 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
215 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
218 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
220 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
221 19xx when it's not necessary.
223 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
225 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
226 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
229 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
230 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
231 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
232 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
233 the man pages correctly.
235 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
237 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
239 * Finished manpages ali-prev
241 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
242 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
243 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
246 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
247 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
248 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
249 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
251 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
253 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
254 the formatting rules I've been using.
258 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
260 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
261 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
262 used in the manpages.
264 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
265 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
266 read in the contents of the file as the variable
269 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
270 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
271 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
272 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
273 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
274 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
275 bold flags and italicized parameters.
277 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
279 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
280 --with-locking option.
282 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
283 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
284 information was not being communicated to the
285 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
286 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
287 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
288 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
289 undefined symbols problems.
291 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
292 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
293 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
294 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
295 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
296 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
297 for a genuine krb4 installation.
299 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
301 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
302 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
304 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
306 * Made a new ./configure option called
307 "--with-locking" that allows the file
308 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
309 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
311 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
312 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
313 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
314 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
315 the user that these are the valid options, and
316 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
319 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
321 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
322 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
323 committed to supporting flex only, since
324 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
325 string, as well as other problems documented
326 below and on nmh-workers.
328 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
329 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
330 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
333 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
334 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
336 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
338 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
339 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
340 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
342 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
344 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
345 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
347 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
349 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
350 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
351 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
352 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
353 couldn't correctly identify them.
355 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
357 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
358 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
359 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
360 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
361 not depending on an external archive.
363 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
364 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
365 mts/generic is no longer built.
367 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
369 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
370 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
371 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
372 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
373 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
374 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
375 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
376 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
378 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
380 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
381 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
384 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
386 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
387 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
388 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
391 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
392 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
393 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
394 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
396 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
397 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
398 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
399 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
400 merged into the smtp code).
402 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
403 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
404 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
407 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
408 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
409 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
410 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
411 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
412 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
413 in the appropriate Makefile.in
415 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
417 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
418 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
419 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
420 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
421 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
422 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
423 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
424 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
425 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
426 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
427 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
429 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
431 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
432 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
433 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
434 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
435 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
436 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
437 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
438 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
439 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
441 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
443 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
444 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
447 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
449 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
450 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
452 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
454 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
455 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
456 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
457 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
459 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
461 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
462 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
463 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
464 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
465 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
467 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
468 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
470 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
472 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
474 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
475 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
476 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
477 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
479 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
480 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
481 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
482 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
484 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
485 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
486 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
487 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
489 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
490 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
491 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
493 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
495 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
496 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
497 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
498 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
499 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
500 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
503 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
504 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
506 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
507 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
509 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
511 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
513 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
515 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
516 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
517 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
518 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
520 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
522 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
523 be easily changed from "," to "#".
525 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
527 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
529 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
530 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
533 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
535 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
536 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
537 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
538 but not for the subsequent data stream.
540 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
542 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
543 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
544 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
545 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
546 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
548 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
550 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
551 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
553 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
554 cat, also define lorder as echo.
556 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
558 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
560 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
561 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
562 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
564 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
566 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
569 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
570 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
572 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
574 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
575 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
577 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
579 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
580 inc does not need to be setgid.
582 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
584 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
585 library, as found on Debian systems.
587 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
589 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
591 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
592 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
593 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
594 case-insensitivity flag.
596 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
598 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
599 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
601 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
603 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
604 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
605 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
606 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
607 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
608 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
609 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
610 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
611 getting moved aside).
613 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
614 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
616 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
618 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
619 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
620 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
621 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
622 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
623 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
624 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
625 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
626 the prototype, but never sets it.
628 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
629 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
630 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
631 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
632 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
633 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
635 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
636 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
637 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
638 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
639 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
641 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
643 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
644 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
647 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
648 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
649 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
650 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
651 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
652 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
653 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
655 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
657 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
659 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
660 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
661 this works on other systems.
663 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
665 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
666 checks for write failures.
668 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
670 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
672 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
675 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
677 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
679 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
681 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
682 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
685 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
687 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
688 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
689 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
690 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
692 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
695 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
698 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
699 as well as Makefiles.
701 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
703 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
704 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
705 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
706 should make maintainability easier.
708 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
709 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
710 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
711 whatever you know works.
713 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
715 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
716 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
717 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
719 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
720 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
721 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
722 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
724 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
725 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
726 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
728 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
729 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
730 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
731 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
732 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
734 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
735 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
736 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
737 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
738 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
739 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
740 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
741 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
742 from the BSD version.
744 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
745 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
746 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
748 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
751 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
754 This happens on solaris:
757 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
758 No manual entry for mts.conf.
762 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
764 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
765 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
767 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
769 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
770 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
771 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
772 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
773 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
774 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
775 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
776 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
777 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
778 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
779 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
781 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
782 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
783 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
784 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
785 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
786 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
789 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
790 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
791 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
792 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
793 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
795 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
796 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
798 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
800 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
801 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
802 to stdin, such as exmh.
804 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
805 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
806 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
809 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
811 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
812 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
813 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
814 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
815 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
816 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
817 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
819 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
821 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
822 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
824 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
826 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
827 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
829 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
831 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
834 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
835 along with any -host or -user option.
837 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
839 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
841 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
842 process was fresh in my mind.
844 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
846 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
847 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
849 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
851 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
856 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
857 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
858 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
859 part of the program's name.
861 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
862 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
865 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
867 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
868 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
869 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
870 single-character format would cause programs using this
871 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
872 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
873 when the format string was one character. This eventually
874 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
877 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
880 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
881 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
882 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
883 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
884 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
886 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
887 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
888 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
889 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
890 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
891 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
892 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
893 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
895 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
896 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
897 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
898 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
899 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
900 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
901 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
902 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
903 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
904 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
906 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
908 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
909 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
911 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
912 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
914 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
919 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
921 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
922 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
923 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
924 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
926 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
927 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
928 problem in the routine.
930 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
932 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
933 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
935 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
936 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
937 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
940 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
942 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
943 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
944 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
945 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
946 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
947 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
948 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
949 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
950 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
951 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
953 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
955 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
956 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
957 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
958 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
959 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
960 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
961 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
962 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
963 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
964 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
965 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
966 interesting than a duplication of the default.
968 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
969 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
970 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
971 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
972 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
974 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
977 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
979 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
980 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
981 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
982 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
985 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
987 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
989 * Applied, after some finessing,
990 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
992 Here's a patch that allows you to add
994 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
996 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
997 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
998 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
999 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1001 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1003 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1004 forgetting to do so!).
1006 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1007 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1008 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1009 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1010 arguments to enable all three types.
1012 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1013 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1015 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1016 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1017 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1018 updated copy of mts.conf.
1020 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1022 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1023 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1024 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1026 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1028 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1030 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1031 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1032 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1034 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1035 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1036 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1038 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1039 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1040 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1042 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1044 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1046 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1048 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1050 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1051 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1053 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1054 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1055 certain suffix to run properly.
1057 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1058 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1059 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1061 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1062 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1063 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1064 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1065 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1066 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1067 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1069 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1071 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1072 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1073 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1074 until some year far in the future).
1076 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1078 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1080 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1081 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1083 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1084 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1087 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1089 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1090 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1091 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1092 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1093 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1094 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1096 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1098 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1100 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1101 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1102 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1104 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1105 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1106 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1107 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1108 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1109 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1112 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1113 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1114 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1115 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1116 of masquerading individually.
1118 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1119 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1120 GECOS field delimiters.
1122 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1124 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1125 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1126 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1127 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1128 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1129 and explaining the feature.
1131 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1133 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1134 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1137 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1138 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1139 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1141 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1142 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1143 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1144 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1146 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1147 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1148 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1151 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1153 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1154 code to be executed.
1156 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1158 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1160 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1161 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1162 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1163 quotes embedded in them.
1165 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1168 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1169 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1170 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1171 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1172 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1173 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1176 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1177 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1178 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1179 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1180 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1182 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1184 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1186 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1187 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1188 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1189 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1191 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1194 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1196 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1198 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1200 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1201 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1202 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1204 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1207 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1210 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1211 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1212 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1213 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1214 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1216 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1217 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1219 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1221 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1224 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1226 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1227 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1228 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1231 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1232 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1233 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1234 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1235 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1236 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1237 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1238 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1239 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1240 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1241 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1242 processing that post has).
1244 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1246 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1247 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1248 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1249 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1250 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1251 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1254 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1256 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1258 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1260 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1262 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1263 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1265 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1268 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1270 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1271 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1272 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1275 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1277 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1278 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1279 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1280 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1281 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1282 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1284 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1286 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1288 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1290 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1291 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1292 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1293 caught again. This works for now.
1295 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1297 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1299 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1300 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1302 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1304 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1305 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1307 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1309 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1311 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1313 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1314 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1316 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1318 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1319 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1320 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1321 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1322 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1325 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1327 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1328 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1329 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1331 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1332 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1335 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1337 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1338 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1339 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1341 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1343 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1344 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1346 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1348 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1351 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1352 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1354 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1355 macros, regardless of platform.
1357 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1358 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1360 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1361 with x-conversions=gzip.
1363 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1365 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1368 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1369 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1370 implicit definition of ioctl().
1372 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1373 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1374 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1375 want to mess with them.
1377 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1379 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1380 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1382 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1383 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1385 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1386 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1387 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1389 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1390 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1391 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1393 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1394 function initgroups.
1396 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1399 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1400 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1403 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1404 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1407 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1408 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1412 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1414 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1415 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1416 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1418 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1419 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1421 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1423 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1425 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1426 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1427 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1428 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1430 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1431 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1433 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1435 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1437 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1439 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1440 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1442 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1444 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1445 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1447 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1448 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1449 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1450 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1452 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1453 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1455 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1457 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1458 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1460 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1462 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1463 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1466 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1468 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1470 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1472 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1473 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1475 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1476 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1477 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1479 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1480 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1481 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1483 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1484 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1485 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1487 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1488 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1491 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1492 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1494 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1495 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1497 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1498 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1500 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1501 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1502 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1504 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1505 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1507 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1508 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1509 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1511 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1512 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1515 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1516 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1518 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1519 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1520 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1521 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1523 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1524 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1526 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1530 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1531 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1532 would not be changed.
1534 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1535 one from the Apache web server.
1537 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1538 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1540 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1541 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1542 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1544 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1546 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1548 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1549 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1552 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1553 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1554 removes a bad race condition.
1556 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1559 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1560 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1561 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1563 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1564 sequence information.
1566 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1567 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1569 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1572 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1575 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1577 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1578 interpret 034 as octal.
1580 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1582 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1583 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1585 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1586 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1588 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1589 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1591 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1592 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1594 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1595 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1597 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1598 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1599 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1601 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1602 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1603 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1605 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1607 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1609 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1610 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1613 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1615 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1616 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1618 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1619 header field information.
1621 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1622 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1624 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1625 values when parsing a content.
1627 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1628 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1630 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1631 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1633 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1634 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1636 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1637 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1639 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1641 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1643 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1645 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1647 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1648 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1651 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1652 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1654 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1655 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1656 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1657 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1658 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1659 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1662 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1664 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1665 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1666 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1668 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1669 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1671 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1673 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1674 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1675 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1676 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1678 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1679 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1682 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1683 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1684 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1685 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1688 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1690 * Released nmh-0.27.
1692 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1693 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1695 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1696 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1697 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1698 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1701 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1702 mhbuild returns an error.
1704 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1705 rename the draft file.
1707 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1708 use a global variable.
1710 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1711 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1713 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1714 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1716 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1717 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1718 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1720 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1721 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1723 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1724 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1727 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1728 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1731 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1732 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1734 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1735 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1736 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1738 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1739 to new function output_content_folder.
1741 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1742 new function output_content_file.
1744 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1745 to new function parse_format_string.
1747 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1748 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1749 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1750 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1752 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1753 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1754 message/external file from ftp.
1756 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1757 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1758 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1760 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1761 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1764 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1767 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1768 new file mhstoresbr.c
1770 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1773 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1774 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1776 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1777 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1779 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1780 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1781 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1783 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1785 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1787 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1788 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1791 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1792 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1794 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1797 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1799 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1801 * Released nmh-0.26.
1803 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1804 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1805 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1806 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1808 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1809 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1810 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1811 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1812 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1814 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1815 But it is not on by default.
1817 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1818 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1820 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1822 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1824 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1826 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1828 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1829 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1831 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1833 * Released nmh-0.25.
1835 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1836 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1837 uses the original name of the library.
1839 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1840 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1843 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1844 list_content and list_debug.
1846 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1848 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1849 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1851 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1853 * Released nmh-0.24.
1855 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1857 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1858 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1860 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1861 large sequence line.
1863 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1865 * Released nmh-0.23.
1867 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1869 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1870 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1871 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1872 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1874 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1875 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1878 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1880 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1882 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1884 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1885 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1887 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1888 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1890 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1891 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1893 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1894 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1896 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1898 * Released nmh-0.22.
1900 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1901 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1903 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1905 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1906 mh-profile(5) man page.
1908 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1909 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1911 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1913 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1915 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1916 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1918 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1920 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1921 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1922 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1924 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1925 source message on the standard input.
1927 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1929 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1930 rather than -rfc934mode.
1932 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1933 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1936 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1937 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1939 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1942 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1944 * Released nmh-0.21.
1946 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1947 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1949 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1952 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1953 to use for text contents.
1955 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1957 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1959 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1961 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1963 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1964 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1966 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1967 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1968 spaces between encoded word are.
1970 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1972 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1973 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1975 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1976 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1977 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1979 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1981 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1982 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1984 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1986 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1988 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1989 ISO-8859-X character set.
1991 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1994 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1995 permissions, not write permissions.
1997 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1998 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2000 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2003 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2005 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2007 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2008 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2010 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2011 message contains valid character set.
2013 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2014 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2016 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2017 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2019 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2020 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2021 between an encoded word and normal text.
2023 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2024 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2026 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2027 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2029 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2032 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2033 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2036 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2037 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2039 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2040 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2042 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2044 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2046 * Released nmh-0.20.
2048 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2050 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2052 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2053 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2054 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2056 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2057 and the To: line was missing.
2059 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2061 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2063 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2065 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2066 watch the POP transaction.
2068 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2069 first, and use it if available.
2071 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2072 first, and use it if available.
2074 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2076 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2078 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2079 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2080 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2083 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2084 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2085 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2087 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2088 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2091 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2093 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2094 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2096 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2098 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2099 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2101 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2102 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2103 message to which you are replying.
2105 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2106 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2107 making group replies.
2109 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2111 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2113 * Released nmh-0.19.
2115 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2116 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2118 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2119 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2120 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2121 to the end of the man page.
2123 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2124 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2125 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2126 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2127 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2128 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2130 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2133 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2134 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2135 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2137 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2138 the next available number above the message number you wish
2141 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2142 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2144 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2145 file sbr/seq_print.c
2147 * flist will now update the current folder.
2149 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2150 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2151 but now undocumented.
2153 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2156 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2157 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2159 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2161 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2162 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2164 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166 * Released nmh-0.18.
2168 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2169 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2170 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2172 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2173 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2175 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2176 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2177 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2178 previous public/private status.
2180 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2183 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2186 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2187 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2188 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2190 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2191 take option to determine whether it should get current
2192 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2193 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2195 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2197 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2198 wait for stopped processes.
2200 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2201 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2203 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2205 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2207 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2208 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2210 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2211 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2213 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2214 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2215 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2216 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2218 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2221 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2224 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2226 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2227 the debugging output.
2229 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2230 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2232 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2234 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2236 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2237 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2239 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2241 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2242 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2243 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2244 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2245 in the given sequence.
2247 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2248 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2249 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2250 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2251 subdirectories of a given directory.
2253 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2254 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2255 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2257 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2258 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2260 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2262 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2265 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2266 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2267 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2269 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2270 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2271 are calculated at runtime.

2283 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2284 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2285 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2287 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2288 adding message to folder itself.
2290 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2291 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2292 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2295 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2296 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2299 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2300 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2301 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2303 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2304 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2306 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2307 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2308 code to use it yet).

2366 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2367 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2369 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2370 number of refiled message.
2372 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2374 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2375 for return value of wait().

2385 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2387 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2388 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2389 deal with binary messages, yet).
2391 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2393 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2395 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2396 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2397 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2398 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2399 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2400 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2402 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2403 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2405 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2406 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2417 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2420 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2423 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2425 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2431 * Released nmh-0.15.
2433 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2438 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2440 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2443 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2444 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2445 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2447 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2448 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2450 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2452 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2453 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2455 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2456 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2457 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2458 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2460 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2461 and put in own subroutine.
2463 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2464 and put in own subroutine.

2467 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2468 refile.c to use new routine.

2472 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2474 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2477 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2478 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2479 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2481 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2484 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2499 selected messages to a sequence.
2501 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2504 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2506 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2507 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2509 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2548 * Released nmh-0.13.
2550 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2551 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2552 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2553 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2556 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2557 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2559 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2561 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2562 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2564 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2566 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2591 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2592 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2594 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2595 will suppress the display of the message header.
2597 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2599 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2600 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2602 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2604 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2606 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2608 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2609 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2611 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2612 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2614 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2616 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2618 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2619 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2621 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2622 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2624 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Released nmh-0.10.

2633 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2635 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2636 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2638 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2639 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2641 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2642 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2644 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2646 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2647 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2649 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2651 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2672 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2674 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2676 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2677 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2679 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2682 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2684 * Released nmh-0.08.
2686 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2687 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2688 locking database itself.

2692 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2694 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2695 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2698 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2699 rather than mmdf format.
2701 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2702 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2703 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2704 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2706 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2708 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2710 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2713 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2714 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2715 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2717 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2718 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2721 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2724 can still easily change this in config.h).
2726 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2727 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2728 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2730 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2732 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2744 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2747 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2749 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2750 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2753 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2754 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2756 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2757 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2759 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2761 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2763 * Added configure check for tzset.

2767 * Released nmh-0.06.
2769 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2770 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2772 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2773 many such machines around anymore.
2775 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2776 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2778 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2779 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2781 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2784 pre-generated version if necessary.
2786 * Released nmh-0.05.
2788 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2789 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2790 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2791 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2793 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2794 be linked in one pass.
2796 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2798 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2799 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2801 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2805 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2808 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2809 become the current folder.
2811 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * Released nmh-0.04.
2815 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2818 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2820 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2821 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2822 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2824 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2826 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2827 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2829 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2831 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2832 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2835 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2836 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2838 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2840 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2841 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2842 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2843 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2844 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2845 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2847 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2849 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2850 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2852 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2853 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2855 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2858 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2860 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2863 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2864 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2866 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * Released nmh-0.03.
2870 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2871 .mh_sequence file existed.
2873 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2874 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2876 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which

2887 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2888 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2889 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2891 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2894 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2895 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2897 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2899 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2900 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2902 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2904 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2906 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2907 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2908 directory from where the source code is located.
2910 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2912 * Released nmh-0.02.

2932 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2933 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2934 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path

2936 rather than in script.
2938 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2942 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2943 macro defined on Solaris.
2945 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2948 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2950 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2951 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2952 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2953 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2956 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2959 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.

2964 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2966 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2968 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2973 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2974 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2976 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2978 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2979 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2980 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2981 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2982 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2983 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2985 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2987 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2989 * Released nmh-0.01.
2991 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2992 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2993 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2996 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2998 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3001 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3004 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3006 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3008 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3009 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3010 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3011 script to find_program.
3013 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3015 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3016 speed up -recurse option.
3018 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3019 yet, but it compiles :-)
3021 * Changed default location for install to
3022 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3023 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3024 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3027 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3028 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3029 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
