1 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
4 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
5 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
8 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
10 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
11 the context is only read once.
13 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
15 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
16 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
18 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
20 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
21 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
23 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
24 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
27 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
28 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
31 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
33 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
34 vi isn't found during build.
36 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
38 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
39 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
41 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
42 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
43 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
45 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
47 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
48 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
50 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
51 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
52 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
53 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
56 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
57 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
58 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
60 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
61 entry in the context file.
63 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
65 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
66 problems on some systems
68 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
69 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
71 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
73 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
74 sendmail isn't found during build.
76 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
78 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
80 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
82 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
83 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
85 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
86 references to the web page and mailing list locations
88 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
89 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
91 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
94 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
96 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
97 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
98 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
100 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
101 was configured with --enable-apop.
103 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
104 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
105 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
107 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
108 new versions of flex.
110 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
111 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
112 doesn't guess wrongly.
114 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
116 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
117 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
119 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
120 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
122 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
123 files with numbers as names
125 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
127 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
129 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
131 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
133 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
134 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
136 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
138 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
141 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
142 test/report error writing to stdout
144 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
146 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
148 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
149 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
150 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
152 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
153 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
154 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
156 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
158 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
159 character set used by the current locale
161 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
162 message's filename overflows an int when converted
164 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
165 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
167 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
169 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
172 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
174 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
175 from Michael Richardson.
177 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
178 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
180 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
182 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
183 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
185 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
187 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
188 find sub-parts of the specified part
190 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
192 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
193 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
194 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
195 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
196 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
197 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
198 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
201 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
203 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
204 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
205 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
208 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
209 refiling with -src option.
211 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
213 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
215 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
217 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
218 mailpath being overwritten.
220 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
222 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
223 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
224 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
225 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
226 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
227 reinitializes the tmp file string.
229 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
230 if a format string was read from the profile.
232 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
233 path for the external hook.
235 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
237 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
238 another location for ndbm.
240 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
242 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
244 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
246 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
249 136976 - Handle binary content messages
250 143427 - mh-format.man typo
251 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
252 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
253 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
254 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
255 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
256 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
257 181867 - typo for nmh.man
259 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
261 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
262 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
263 contitional code which will result in cached data to
264 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
265 and parse on the first use.
266 * Remove some unused flag bits.
268 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
270 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
271 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
273 #578 - repl leaks umask
274 #1393 - sortm core dumps
275 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
276 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
277 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
279 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
280 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
282 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
284 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
285 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
287 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
289 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
290 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
291 to docs/README.about.
293 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
295 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
297 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
298 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
299 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
300 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
303 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
305 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
306 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
307 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
308 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
309 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
310 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
313 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
314 summary configure prints out.
316 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
317 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
318 subjectively more readable) format.
320 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
322 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
325 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
327 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
328 19xx when it's not necessary.
330 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
332 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
333 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
336 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
337 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
338 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
339 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
340 the man pages correctly.
342 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
344 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
346 * Finished manpages ali-prev
348 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
349 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
350 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
353 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
354 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
355 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
356 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
358 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
360 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
361 the formatting rules I've been using.
365 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
367 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
368 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
369 used in the manpages.
371 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
372 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
373 read in the contents of the file as the variable
376 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
377 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
378 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
379 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
380 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
381 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
382 bold flags and italicized parameters.
384 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
386 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
387 --with-locking option.
389 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
390 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
391 information was not being communicated to the
392 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
393 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
394 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
395 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
396 undefined symbols problems.
398 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
399 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
400 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
401 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
402 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
403 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
404 for a genuine krb4 installation.
406 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
408 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
409 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
411 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
413 * Made a new ./configure option called
414 "--with-locking" that allows the file
415 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
416 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
418 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
419 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
420 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
421 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
422 the user that these are the valid options, and
423 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
426 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
428 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
429 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
430 committed to supporting flex only, since
431 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
432 string, as well as other problems documented
433 below and on nmh-workers.
435 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
436 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
437 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
440 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
441 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
443 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
445 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
446 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
447 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
449 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
451 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
452 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
454 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
456 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
457 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
458 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
459 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
460 couldn't correctly identify them.
462 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
464 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
465 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
466 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
467 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
468 not depending on an external archive.
470 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
471 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
472 mts/generic is no longer built.
474 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
476 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
477 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
478 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
479 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
480 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
481 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
482 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
483 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
485 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
487 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
488 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
491 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
493 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
494 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
495 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
498 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
499 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
500 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
501 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
503 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
504 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
505 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
506 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
507 merged into the smtp code).
509 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
510 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
511 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
514 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
515 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
516 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
517 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
518 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
519 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
520 in the appropriate Makefile.in
522 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
524 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
525 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
526 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
527 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
528 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
529 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
530 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
531 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
532 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
533 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
534 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
536 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
538 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
539 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
540 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
541 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
542 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
543 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
544 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
545 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
546 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
548 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
550 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
551 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
554 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
556 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
557 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
559 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
561 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
562 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
563 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
564 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
566 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
568 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
569 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
570 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
571 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
572 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
574 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
575 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
577 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
579 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
581 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
582 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
583 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
584 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
586 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
587 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
588 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
589 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
591 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
592 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
593 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
594 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
596 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
597 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
598 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
600 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
602 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
603 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
604 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
605 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
606 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
607 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
610 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
611 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
613 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
614 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
616 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
618 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
620 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
622 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
623 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
624 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
625 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
627 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
629 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
630 be easily changed from "," to "#".
632 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
634 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
636 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
637 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
640 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
642 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
643 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
644 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
645 but not for the subsequent data stream.
647 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
649 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
650 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
651 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
652 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
653 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
655 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
657 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
658 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
660 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
661 cat, also define lorder as echo.
663 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
665 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
667 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
668 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
669 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
671 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
673 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
676 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
677 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
679 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
681 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
682 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
684 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
686 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
687 inc does not need to be setgid.
689 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
691 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
692 library, as found on Debian systems.
694 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
696 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
699 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
700 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
701 case-insensitivity flag.
703 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
705 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
706 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
708 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
710 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
711 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
712 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
713 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
714 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
715 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
716 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
717 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
718 getting moved aside).
720 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
721 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
723 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
725 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
726 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
727 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
728 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
729 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
730 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
731 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
732 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
733 the prototype, but never sets it.
735 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
736 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
737 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
738 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
739 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
740 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
742 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
743 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
744 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
745 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
746 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
748 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
750 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
751 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
754 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
755 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
756 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
757 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
758 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
759 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
760 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
762 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
764 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
766 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
767 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
768 this works on other systems.
770 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
772 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
773 checks for write failures.
775 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
777 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
779 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
782 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
784 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
786 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
788 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
789 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
792 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
794 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
795 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
796 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
797 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
799 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
801 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
802 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
805 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
806 as well as Makefiles.
808 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
810 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
811 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
812 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
813 should make maintainability easier.
815 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
816 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
817 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
818 whatever you know works.
820 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
822 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
823 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
824 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
826 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
827 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
828 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
829 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
831 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
832 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
833 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
835 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
836 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
837 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
838 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
839 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
841 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
842 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
843 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
844 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
845 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
846 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
847 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
848 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
849 from the BSD version.
851 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
852 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
853 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
855 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
858 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
861 This happens on solaris:
864 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
865 No manual entry for mts.conf.
869 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
871 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
872 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
874 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
876 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
877 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
878 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
879 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
880 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
881 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
882 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
883 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
884 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
885 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
886 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
888 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
889 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
890 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
891 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
892 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
893 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
896 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
897 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
898 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
899 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
900 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
902 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
903 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
905 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
907 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
908 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
909 to stdin, such as exmh.
911 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
912 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
913 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
916 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
918 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
919 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
920 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
921 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
922 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
923 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
924 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
926 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
928 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
929 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
931 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
934 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
936 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
938 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
941 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
942 along with any -host or -user option.
944 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
946 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
948 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
949 process was fresh in my mind.
951 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
954 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
956 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
958 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
960 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
963 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
964 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
965 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
966 part of the program's name.
968 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
969 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
972 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
974 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
975 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
976 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
977 single-character format would cause programs using this
978 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
979 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
980 when the format string was one character. This eventually
981 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
984 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
986 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
987 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
988 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
989 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
990 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
991 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
993 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
994 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
995 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
996 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
997 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
998 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
999 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1000 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1002 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1003 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1004 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1005 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1006 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1007 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1008 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1009 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1010 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1011 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1013 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1015 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1016 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1018 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1019 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1021 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1026 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1028 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1029 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1030 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1031 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1033 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1034 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1035 problem in the routine.
1037 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1039 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1040 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1042 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1043 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1044 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1047 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1049 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1050 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1051 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1052 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1053 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1054 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1055 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1056 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1057 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1058 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1060 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1062 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1063 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1064 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1065 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1066 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1067 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1068 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1069 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1070 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1071 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1072 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1073 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1075 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1076 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1077 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1078 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1079 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1081 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1084 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1086 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1087 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1088 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1089 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1092 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1094 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1096 * Applied, after some finessing,
1097 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1099 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1101 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1103 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1104 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1105 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1106 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1108 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1110 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1111 forgetting to do so!).
1113 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1114 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1115 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1116 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1117 arguments to enable all three types.
1119 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1120 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1122 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1123 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1124 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1125 updated copy of mts.conf.
1127 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1129 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1130 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1131 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1133 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1135 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1137 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1138 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1139 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1141 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1142 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1143 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1145 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1146 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1147 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1149 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1151 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1153 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1155 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1157 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1158 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1160 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1161 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1162 certain suffix to run properly.
1164 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1165 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1166 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1168 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1169 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1170 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1171 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1172 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1173 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1174 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1176 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1178 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1179 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1180 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1181 until some year far in the future).
1183 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1185 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1187 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1188 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1190 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1191 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1194 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1196 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1197 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1198 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1199 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1200 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1201 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1203 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1205 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1207 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1208 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1209 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1211 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1212 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1213 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1214 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1215 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1216 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1219 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1220 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1221 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1222 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1223 of masquerading individually.
1225 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1226 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1227 GECOS field delimiters.
1229 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1231 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1232 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1233 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1234 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1235 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1236 and explaining the feature.
1238 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1240 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1241 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1244 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1245 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1246 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1248 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1249 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1250 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1251 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1253 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1254 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1255 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1258 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1260 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1261 code to be executed.
1263 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1265 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1267 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1268 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1269 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1270 quotes embedded in them.
1272 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1274 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1275 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1276 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1277 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1278 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1279 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1280 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1283 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1284 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1285 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1286 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1287 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1289 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1291 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1293 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1294 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1295 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1296 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1298 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1301 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1303 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1305 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1308 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1309 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1311 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1314 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1317 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1318 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1319 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1320 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1321 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1323 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1324 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1326 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1328 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1331 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1333 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1334 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1335 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1338 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1339 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1340 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1341 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1342 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1343 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1344 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1345 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1346 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1347 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1348 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1349 processing that post has).
1351 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1353 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1354 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1355 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1356 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1357 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1358 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1361 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1363 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1365 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1367 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1369 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1370 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1372 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1375 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1377 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1378 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1379 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1382 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1384 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1385 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1386 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1387 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1388 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1389 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1391 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1393 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1395 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1397 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1398 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1399 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1400 caught again. This works for now.
1402 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1404 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1406 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1407 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1409 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1411 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1412 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1414 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1416 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1418 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1420 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1421 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1423 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1425 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1426 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1427 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1428 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1429 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1432 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1434 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1435 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1436 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1438 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1439 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1442 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1444 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1445 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1446 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1448 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1450 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1451 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1453 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1455 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1458 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1459 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1461 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1462 macros, regardless of platform.
1464 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1465 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1467 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1468 with x-conversions=gzip.
1470 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1472 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1475 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1476 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1477 implicit definition of ioctl().
1479 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1480 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1481 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1482 want to mess with them.
1484 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1486 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1487 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1489 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1490 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1492 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1493 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1494 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1496 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1497 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1498 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1500 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1501 function initgroups.
1503 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1506 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1507 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1510 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1511 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1514 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1515 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1519 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1521 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1522 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1523 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1525 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1526 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1528 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1530 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1532 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1533 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1534 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1535 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1537 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1538 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1540 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1542 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1544 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1546 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1547 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1549 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1551 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1552 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1554 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1555 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1556 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1557 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1559 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1560 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1562 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1564 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1565 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1567 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1569 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1570 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1573 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1575 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1577 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1579 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1580 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1582 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1583 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1584 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1586 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1587 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1588 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1590 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1591 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1592 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1594 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1595 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1598 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1599 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1601 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1602 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1604 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1605 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1607 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1608 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1609 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1611 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1612 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1614 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1615 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1616 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1618 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1619 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1622 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1623 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1625 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1626 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1627 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1628 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1630 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1631 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1633 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1637 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1638 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1639 would not be changed.
1641 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1642 one from the Apache web server.
1644 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1645 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1647 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1648 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1649 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1651 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1653 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1655 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1656 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1659 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1660 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1661 removes a bad race condition.
1663 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1666 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1667 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1668 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1670 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1671 sequence information.
1673 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1674 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1676 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1679 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1682 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1684 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1685 interpret 034 as octal.
1687 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1689 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1690 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1692 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1693 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1695 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1696 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1698 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1699 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1701 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1702 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1704 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1705 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1706 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1708 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1709 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1710 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1712 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1714 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1716 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1717 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1720 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1722 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1723 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1725 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1726 header field information.
1728 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1729 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1731 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1732 values when parsing a content.
1734 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1735 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1737 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1738 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1740 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1741 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1743 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1744 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1746 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1748 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1750 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1752 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1754 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1755 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1758 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1759 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1761 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1762 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1763 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1764 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1765 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1766 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1769 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1771 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1772 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1773 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1775 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1776 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1778 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1780 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1781 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1782 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1783 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1785 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1786 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1789 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1790 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1791 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1792 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1795 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1797 * Released nmh-0.27.
1799 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1800 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1802 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1803 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1804 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1805 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1808 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1809 mhbuild returns an error.
1811 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1812 rename the draft file.
1814 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1815 use a global variable.
1817 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1818 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1820 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1821 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1823 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1824 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1825 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1827 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1828 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1830 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1831 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1834 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1835 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1838 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1839 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1841 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1842 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1843 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1845 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1846 to new function output_content_folder.
1848 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1849 new function output_content_file.
1851 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1852 to new function parse_format_string.
1854 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1855 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1856 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1857 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1859 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1860 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1861 message/external file from ftp.
1863 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1864 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1865 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1867 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1868 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1871 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1874 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1875 new file mhstoresbr.c
1877 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1880 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1881 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1883 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1884 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1886 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1887 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1888 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1890 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1892 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1894 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1895 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1898 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1899 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1901 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1904 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1906 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1908 * Released nmh-0.26.
1910 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1911 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1912 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1913 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1915 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1916 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1917 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1918 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1919 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1921 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1922 But it is not on by default.
1924 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1925 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1927 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1929 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1931 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1933 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1935 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1936 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1938 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1940 * Released nmh-0.25.
1942 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1943 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1944 uses the original name of the library.
1946 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1947 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1950 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1951 list_content and list_debug.
1953 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1955 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1956 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1958 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1960 * Released nmh-0.24.
1962 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1964 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1965 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1967 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1968 large sequence line.
1970 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1972 * Released nmh-0.23.
1974 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1976 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1977 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1978 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1979 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1981 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1982 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1985 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1987 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1989 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1991 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1992 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1994 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1995 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1997 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1998 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2000 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2001 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2003 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2005 * Released nmh-0.22.
2007 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2008 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2010 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2012 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2013 mh-profile(5) man page.
2015 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2016 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2018 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2020 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2022 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2023 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2025 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2027 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2028 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2029 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2031 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2032 source message on the standard input.
2034 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2036 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2037 rather than -rfc934mode.
2039 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2040 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2043 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2044 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2046 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2049 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2051 * Released nmh-0.21.
2053 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2054 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2056 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2059 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2060 to use for text contents.
2062 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2064 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2066 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2068 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2070 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2071 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2073 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2074 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2075 spaces between encoded word are.
2077 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2079 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2080 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2082 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2083 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2084 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2086 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2088 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2089 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2091 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2093 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2095 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2096 ISO-8859-X character set.
2098 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2101 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2102 permissions, not write permissions.
2104 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2105 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2107 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2110 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2112 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2114 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2115 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2117 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2118 message contains valid character set.
2120 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2121 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2123 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2124 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2126 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2127 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2128 between an encoded word and normal text.
2130 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2131 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2133 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2134 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2136 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2139 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2140 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2143 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2144 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2146 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2147 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2149 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2151 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2153 * Released nmh-0.20.
2155 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2157 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2159 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2160 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2161 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2163 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2164 and the To: line was missing.
2166 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2168 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2170 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2172 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2173 watch the POP transaction.
2175 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2176 first, and use it if available.
2178 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2179 first, and use it if available.
2181 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2183 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2185 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2186 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2187 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2190 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2191 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2192 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2194 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2195 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2198 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2200 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2201 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2203 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2205 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2206 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2208 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2209 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2210 message to which you are replying.
2212 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2213 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2214 making group replies.
2216 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2218 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2220 * Released nmh-0.19.
2222 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2223 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2225 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2226 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2227 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2228 to the end of the man page.
2230 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2231 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2232 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2233 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2234 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2235 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2237 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2240 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2241 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2242 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2244 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2245 the next available number above the message number you wish
2248 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2249 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2251 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2252 file sbr/seq_print.c
2254 * flist will now update the current folder.
2256 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2257 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2258 but now undocumented.
2260 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2263 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2264 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2266 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2268 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2269 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2271 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2273 * Released nmh-0.18.
2275 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2276 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2277 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2279 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2280 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2282 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2283 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2284 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2285 previous public/private status.
2287 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2290 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2293 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2294 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2295 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2297 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2298 take option to determine whether it should get current
2299 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2300 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2302 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2304 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2305 wait for stopped processes.
2307 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2308 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2310 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2312 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2314 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2315 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2317 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2318 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2320 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2321 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2322 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2323 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2325 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2328 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2331 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2333 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2334 the debugging output.
2336 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2337 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2339 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2341 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2343 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2344 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2346 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2348 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2349 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2350 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2351 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2352 in the given sequence.
2354 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2355 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2356 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2357 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2358 subdirectories of a given directory.
2360 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2361 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2362 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2364 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2365 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2367 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2369 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2372 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2373 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2374 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2376 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2377 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2378 are calculated at runtime.
2380 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2382 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2384 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2385 about checking for global mh.profile.
2387 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2388 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2389 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2390 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2391 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2392 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2394 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2395 adding message to folder itself.
2397 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2398 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2399 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2402 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2403 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2406 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2407 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2408 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2410 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2411 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2413 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2414 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2415 code to use it yet).
2417 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2421 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2422 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2424 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2425 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2427 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2429 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2432 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2434 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2436 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2438 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2440 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2441 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2443 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2445 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2447 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2449 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2451 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2453 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2454 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2456 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2457 configuration files.
2459 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2461 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * Released nmh-0.17.
2465 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2467 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2468 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2470 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2473 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2474 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2476 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2477 number of refiled message.
2479 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2481 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2482 for return value of wait().
2484 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2486 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2488 * Released nmh-0.16.
2490 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2492 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2494 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2495 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2496 deal with binary messages, yet).
2498 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2500 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2502 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2503 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2504 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2505 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2506 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2507 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2509 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2510 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2512 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2513 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2515 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2516 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2519 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2521 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2523 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2524 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2527 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2530 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2532 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2533 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2534 which used unsigned chars by default.
2536 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2538 * Released nmh-0.15.
2540 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2543 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2545 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2547 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2550 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2551 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2552 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2554 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2555 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2557 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2559 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2560 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2562 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2563 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2564 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2565 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2567 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2568 and put in own subroutine.
2570 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2571 and put in own subroutine.
2573 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2574 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2575 refile.c to use new routine.
2577 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2581 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2584 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2585 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2586 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2588 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2591 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2592 adding message to sequence.
2594 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2595 corresponding file in sbr.
2597 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2600 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2602 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2603 all selected messages from a sequence.
2605 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2606 selected messages to a sequence.
2608 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2611 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2613 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2614 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2616 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2619 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2621 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2624 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2628 * Released nmh-0.14.
2630 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2631 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2633 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2635 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2636 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2637 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2638 environment variable.
2640 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2641 draft folder facility in nmh.
2643 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2646 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2647 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2650 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2653 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Released nmh-0.13.
2657 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2658 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2659 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2660 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2663 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2664 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2666 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2668 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2669 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2671 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2673 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2674 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2676 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2678 * Released nmh-0.12.
2680 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2686 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2687 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2689 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2690 mp->attrstats with macros.
2692 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2695 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2698 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2699 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2701 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2702 will suppress the display of the message header.
2704 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2706 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2707 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2709 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2711 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2713 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2715 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2716 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2718 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2719 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2721 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2723 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2725 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2726 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2728 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2729 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2731 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2733 * Released nmh-0.10.

2740 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2743 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2745 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2746 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2748 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2749 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2751 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2754 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2756 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2761 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2763 * Released nmh-0.09.
2765 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2767 * Add configure check for killpg.
2769 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and

2774 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2779 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2781 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2783 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2784 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2786 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2789 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2791 * Released nmh-0.08.
2793 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2794 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2795 locking database itself.
2797 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2799 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2801 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2802 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2805 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2806 rather than mmdf format.
2808 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2809 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2810 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2811 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2813 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2815 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2820 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2821 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2822 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2824 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2825 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2826 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2828 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2831 can still easily change this in config.h).
2833 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2834 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2835 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2837 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2839 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2840 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2842 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2844 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2846 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2849 * Released nmh-0.07.
2851 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2853 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2854 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2856 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2857 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2860 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2861 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2863 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2864 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2866 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2868 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2870 * Added configure check for tzset.
2872 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2874 * Released nmh-0.06.
2876 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2877 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2879 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2880 many such machines around anymore.
2882 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2883 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2885 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2886 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2888 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2890 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2891 pre-generated version if necessary.
2893 * Released nmh-0.05.
2895 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2896 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2897 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2898 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2900 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2901 be linked in one pass.
2903 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2905 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2906 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2908 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2910 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2912 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2914 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2915 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2916 become the current folder.
2918 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2920 * Released nmh-0.04.
2922 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2925 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2927 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2928 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2929 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2931 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2933 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2934 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2936 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2939 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2942 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2943 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2945 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2948 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2949 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2950 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2951 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2952 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2954 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2956 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2957 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2959 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2960 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2962 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2964 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2965 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2967 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2970 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2971 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2973 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2975 * Released nmh-0.03.
2977 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2978 .mh_sequence file existed.
2980 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2981 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2983 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2984 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2987 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2992 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2995 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2996 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2998 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3000 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3001 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3002 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3004 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3006 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3007 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3009 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3011 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3014 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3015 directory from where the source code is located.
3017 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Released nmh-0.02.
3021 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3023 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3026 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3028 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3029 and sys_nerr directly.
3031 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3035 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3037 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3039 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3040 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3041 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3042 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3043 rather than in script.
3045 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3047 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3049 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3050 macro defined on Solaris.
3052 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3054 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3055 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3057 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3058 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3059 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3060 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3063 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3065 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3066 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3068 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3071 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3075 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3076 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3078 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3080 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3081 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3083 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3085 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3086 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3087 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3088 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3089 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3090 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3092 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3094 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3096 * Released nmh-0.01.
3098 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3099 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3100 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3103 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3108 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3110 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3111 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3113 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3116 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3117 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3118 script to find_program.
3120 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3122 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3123 speed up -recurse option.
3125 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3126 yet, but it compiles :-)
3128 * Changed default location for install to
3129 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3130 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3131 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3134 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3135 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3136 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
