3 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
4 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
6 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
7 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
8 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
9 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
12 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
13 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
14 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
16 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
17 entry in the context file.
19 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
21 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
22 problems on some systems
24 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
25 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
27 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
29 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
30 sendmail isn't found during build.
32 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
34 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
36 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
38 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
39 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
41 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
42 references to the web page and mailing list locations
44 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
45 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
47 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
50 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
52 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
53 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
54 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
56 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
57 was configured with --enable-apop.
59 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
60 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
61 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
63 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
66 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
67 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
68 doesn't guess wrongly.
70 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
72 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
73 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
75 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
76 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
78 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
79 files with numbers as names
81 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
83 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
85 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
87 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
89 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
90 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
92 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
94 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
97 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
98 test/report error writing to stdout
100 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
102 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
104 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
105 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
106 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
108 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
109 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
110 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
112 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
114 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
115 character set used by the current locale
117 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
118 message's filename overflows an int when converted
120 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
121 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
123 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
125 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
128 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
130 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
131 from Michael Richardson.
133 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
134 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
136 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
138 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
139 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
141 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
143 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
144 find sub-parts of the specified part
146 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
148 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
149 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
150 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
151 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
152 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
153 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
154 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
157 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
159 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
160 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
161 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
164 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
165 refiling with -src option.
167 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
169 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
171 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
173 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
174 mailpath being overwritten.
176 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
178 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
179 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
180 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
181 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
182 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
183 reinitializes the tmp file string.
185 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
186 if a format string was read from the profile.
188 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
189 path for the external hook.
191 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
193 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
194 another location for ndbm.
196 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
198 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
200 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
202 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
205 136976 - Handle binary content messages
206 143427 - mh-format.man typo
207 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
208 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
209 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
210 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
211 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
212 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
213 181867 - typo for nmh.man
215 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
217 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
218 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
219 contitional code which will result in cached data to
220 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
221 and parse on the first use.
222 * Remove some unused flag bits.
224 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
226 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
227 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
229 #578 - repl leaks umask
230 #1393 - sortm core dumps
231 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
232 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
233 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
235 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
236 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
238 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
240 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
241 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
243 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
245 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
246 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
247 to docs/README.about.
249 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
251 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
253 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
254 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
255 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
256 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
259 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
261 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
262 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
263 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
264 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
265 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
266 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
269 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
270 summary configure prints out.
272 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
273 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
274 subjectively more readable) format.
276 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
278 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
281 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
283 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
284 19xx when it's not necessary.
286 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
288 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
289 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
292 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
293 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
294 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
295 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
296 the man pages correctly.
298 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
300 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
302 * Finished manpages ali-prev
304 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
305 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
306 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
309 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
310 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
311 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
312 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
314 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
316 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
317 the formatting rules I've been using.
321 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
323 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
324 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
325 used in the manpages.
327 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
328 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
329 read in the contents of the file as the variable
332 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
333 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
334 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
335 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
336 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
337 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
338 bold flags and italicized parameters.
340 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
342 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
343 --with-locking option.
345 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
346 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
347 information was not being communicated to the
348 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
349 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
350 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
351 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
352 undefined symbols problems.
354 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
355 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
356 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
357 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
358 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
359 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
360 for a genuine krb4 installation.
362 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
364 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
365 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
367 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
369 * Made a new ./configure option called
370 "--with-locking" that allows the file
371 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
372 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
374 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
375 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
376 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
377 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
378 the user that these are the valid options, and
379 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
382 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
384 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
385 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
386 committed to supporting flex only, since
387 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
388 string, as well as other problems documented
389 below and on nmh-workers.
391 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
392 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
393 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
396 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
397 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
399 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
401 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
402 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
403 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
405 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
407 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
408 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
410 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
412 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
413 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
414 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
415 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
416 couldn't correctly identify them.
418 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
420 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
421 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
422 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
423 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
424 not depending on an external archive.
426 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
427 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
428 mts/generic is no longer built.
430 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
432 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
433 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
434 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
435 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
436 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
437 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
438 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
439 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
441 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
443 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
444 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
447 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
449 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
450 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
451 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
454 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
455 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
456 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
457 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
459 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
460 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
461 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
462 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
463 merged into the smtp code).
465 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
466 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
467 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
470 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
471 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
472 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
473 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
474 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
475 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
476 in the appropriate Makefile.in
478 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
480 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
481 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
482 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
483 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
484 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
485 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
486 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
487 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
488 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
489 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
490 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
492 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
494 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
495 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
496 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
497 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
498 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
499 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
500 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
501 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
502 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
504 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
506 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
507 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
510 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
512 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
513 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
515 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
517 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
518 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
519 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
520 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
522 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
524 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
525 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
526 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
527 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
528 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
530 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
531 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
533 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
535 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
537 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
538 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
539 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
540 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
542 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
543 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
544 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
545 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
547 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
548 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
549 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
550 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
552 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
553 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
554 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
556 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
558 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
559 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
560 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
561 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
562 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
563 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
566 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
567 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
569 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
570 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
572 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
574 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
576 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
578 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
579 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
580 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
581 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
583 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
585 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
586 be easily changed from "," to "#".
588 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
590 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
592 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
593 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
596 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
598 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
599 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
600 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
601 but not for the subsequent data stream.
603 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
605 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
606 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
607 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
608 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
609 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
611 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
613 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
614 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
616 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
617 cat, also define lorder as echo.
619 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
621 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
623 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
624 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
625 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
627 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
629 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
632 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
633 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
635 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
637 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
638 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
640 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
642 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
643 inc does not need to be setgid.
645 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
647 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
648 library, as found on Debian systems.
650 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
652 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
654 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
655 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
656 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
657 case-insensitivity flag.
659 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
661 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
662 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
664 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
666 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
667 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
668 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
669 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
670 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
671 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
672 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
673 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
674 getting moved aside).
676 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
677 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
679 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
681 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
682 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
683 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
684 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
685 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
686 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
687 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
688 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
689 the prototype, but never sets it.
691 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
692 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
693 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
694 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
695 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
696 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
698 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
699 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
700 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
701 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
702 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
704 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
706 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
707 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
710 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
711 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
712 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
713 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
714 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
715 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
716 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
718 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
720 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
722 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
723 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
724 this works on other systems.
726 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
728 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
729 checks for write failures.
731 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
733 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
735 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
738 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
740 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
742 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
744 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
745 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
748 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
750 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
751 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
752 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
753 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
755 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
757 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
758 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
761 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
762 as well as Makefiles.
764 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
766 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
767 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
768 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
769 should make maintainability easier.
771 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
772 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
773 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
774 whatever you know works.
776 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
778 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
779 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
780 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
782 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
783 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
784 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
785 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
787 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
788 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
789 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
791 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
792 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
793 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
794 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
795 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
797 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
798 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
799 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
800 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
801 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
802 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
803 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
804 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
805 from the BSD version.
807 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
808 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
809 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
811 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
814 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
817 This happens on solaris:
820 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
821 No manual entry for mts.conf.
825 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
827 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
828 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
830 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
832 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
833 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
834 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
835 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
836 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
837 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
838 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
839 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
840 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
841 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
842 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
844 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
845 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
846 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
847 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
848 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
849 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
852 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
853 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
854 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
855 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
856 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
858 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
859 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
861 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
863 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
864 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
865 to stdin, such as exmh.
867 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
868 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
869 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
872 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
875 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
876 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
877 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
878 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
879 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
880 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
882 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
884 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
885 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
887 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
889 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
890 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
892 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
894 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
897 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
898 along with any -host or -user option.
900 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
902 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
904 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
905 process was fresh in my mind.
907 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
909 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
910 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
912 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
914 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
916 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
919 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
920 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
921 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
922 part of the program's name.
924 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
925 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
928 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
930 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
931 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
932 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
933 single-character format would cause programs using this
934 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
935 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
936 when the format string was one character. This eventually
937 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
940 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
942 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
943 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
944 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
945 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
946 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
947 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
949 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
950 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
951 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
952 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
953 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
954 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
955 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
956 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
958 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
959 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
960 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
961 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
962 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
963 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
964 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
965 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
966 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
967 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
969 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
972 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
974 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
975 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
977 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
982 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
984 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
985 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
986 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
987 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
989 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
990 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
991 problem in the routine.
993 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
995 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
996 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
998 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
999 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1000 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1003 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1005 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1006 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1007 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1008 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1009 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1010 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1011 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1012 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1013 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1014 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1016 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1018 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1019 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1020 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1021 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1022 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1023 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1024 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1025 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1026 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1027 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1028 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1029 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1031 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1032 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1033 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1034 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1035 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1037 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1040 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1042 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1043 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1044 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1045 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1048 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1050 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1052 * Applied, after some finessing,
1053 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1055 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1057 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1059 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1060 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1061 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1062 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1064 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1066 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1067 forgetting to do so!).
1069 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1070 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1071 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1072 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1073 arguments to enable all three types.
1075 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1076 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1078 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1079 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1080 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1081 updated copy of mts.conf.
1083 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1085 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1086 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1087 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1089 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1091 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1093 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1094 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1095 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1097 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1098 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1099 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1101 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1102 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1103 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1105 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1107 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1109 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1111 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1113 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1114 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1116 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1117 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1118 certain suffix to run properly.
1120 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1121 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1122 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1124 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1125 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1126 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1127 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1128 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1129 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1130 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1132 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1134 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1135 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1136 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1137 until some year far in the future).
1139 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1141 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1143 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1144 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1146 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1147 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1150 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1152 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1153 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1154 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1155 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1156 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1157 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1159 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1163 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1164 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1165 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1167 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1168 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1169 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1170 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1171 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1172 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1175 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1176 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1177 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1178 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1179 of masquerading individually.
1181 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1182 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1183 GECOS field delimiters.
1185 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1187 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1188 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1189 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1190 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1191 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1192 and explaining the feature.
1194 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1196 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1197 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1200 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1201 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1202 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1204 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1205 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1206 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1207 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1209 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1210 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1211 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1214 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1216 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1217 code to be executed.
1219 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1221 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1223 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1224 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1225 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1226 quotes embedded in them.
1228 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1230 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1231 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1232 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1233 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1234 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1235 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1236 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1239 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1240 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1241 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1242 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1243 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1245 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1247 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1249 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1250 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1251 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1252 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1254 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1257 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1259 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1261 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1263 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1264 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1265 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1267 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1270 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1272 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1273 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1274 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1275 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1276 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1277 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1279 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1280 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1282 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1287 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1289 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1290 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1291 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1294 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1295 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1296 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1297 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1298 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1299 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1300 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1301 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1302 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1303 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1304 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1305 processing that post has).
1307 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1309 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1310 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1311 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1312 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1313 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1314 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1317 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1319 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1321 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1323 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1325 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1326 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1328 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1331 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1333 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1334 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1335 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1338 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1340 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1341 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1342 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1343 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1344 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1345 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1347 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1349 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1351 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1353 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1354 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1355 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1356 caught again. This works for now.
1358 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1360 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1362 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1363 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1365 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1367 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1368 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1370 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1372 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1374 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1376 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1377 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1379 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1381 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1382 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1383 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1384 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1385 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1388 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1390 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1391 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1392 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1394 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1395 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1398 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1400 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1401 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1402 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1404 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1406 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1407 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1409 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1411 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1414 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1415 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1417 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1418 macros, regardless of platform.
1420 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1421 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1423 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1424 with x-conversions=gzip.
1426 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1428 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1431 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1432 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1433 implicit definition of ioctl().
1435 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1436 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1437 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1438 want to mess with them.
1440 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1442 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1443 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1445 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1446 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1448 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1449 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1450 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1452 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1453 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1454 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1456 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1457 function initgroups.
1459 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1462 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1463 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1466 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1467 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1470 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1471 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1475 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1477 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1478 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1479 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1481 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1482 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1484 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1486 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1488 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1489 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1490 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1491 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1493 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1494 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1496 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1498 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1500 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1502 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1503 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1505 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1507 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1508 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1510 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1511 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1512 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1513 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1515 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1516 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1518 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1520 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1521 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1523 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1525 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1526 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1529 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1531 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1533 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1535 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1536 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1538 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1539 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1540 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1542 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1543 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1544 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1546 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1547 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1548 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1550 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1551 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1554 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1555 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1557 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1558 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1560 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1561 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1563 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1564 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1565 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1567 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1568 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1570 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1571 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1572 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1574 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1575 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1578 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1579 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1581 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1582 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1583 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1584 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1586 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1587 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1589 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1593 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1594 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1595 would not be changed.
1597 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1598 one from the Apache web server.
1600 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1601 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1603 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1604 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1605 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1607 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1609 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1611 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1612 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1615 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1616 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1617 removes a bad race condition.
1619 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1622 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1623 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1624 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1626 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1627 sequence information.
1629 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1630 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1632 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1635 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1638 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1640 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1641 interpret 034 as octal.
1643 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1645 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1646 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1648 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1649 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1651 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1652 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1654 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1655 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1657 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1658 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1660 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1661 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1662 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1664 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1665 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1666 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1668 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1670 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1672 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1673 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1676 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1678 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1679 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1681 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1682 header field information.
1684 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1685 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1687 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1688 values when parsing a content.
1690 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1691 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1693 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1694 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1696 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1697 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1699 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1700 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1702 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1704 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1706 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1708 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1710 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1711 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1714 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1715 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1717 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1718 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1719 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1720 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1721 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1722 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1725 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1727 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1728 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1729 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1731 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1732 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1734 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1736 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1737 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1738 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1739 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1741 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1742 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1745 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1746 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1747 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1748 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1751 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1753 * Released nmh-0.27.
1755 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1756 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1758 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1759 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1760 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1761 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1764 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1765 mhbuild returns an error.
1767 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1768 rename the draft file.
1770 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1771 use a global variable.
1773 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1774 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1776 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1777 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1779 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1780 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1781 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1783 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1784 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1786 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1787 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1790 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1791 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1794 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1795 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1797 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1798 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1799 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1801 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1802 to new function output_content_folder.
1804 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1805 new function output_content_file.
1807 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1808 to new function parse_format_string.
1810 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1811 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1812 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1813 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1815 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1816 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1817 message/external file from ftp.
1819 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1820 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1821 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1823 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1824 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1827 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1830 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1831 new file mhstoresbr.c
1833 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1836 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1837 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1839 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1840 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1842 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1843 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1844 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1846 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1848 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1850 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1851 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1854 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1855 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1857 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1860 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1862 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1864 * Released nmh-0.26.
1866 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1867 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1868 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1869 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1871 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1872 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1873 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1874 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1875 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1877 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1878 But it is not on by default.
1880 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1881 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1883 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1885 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1887 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1889 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1891 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1892 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1894 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1896 * Released nmh-0.25.
1898 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1899 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1900 uses the original name of the library.
1902 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1903 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1906 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1907 list_content and list_debug.
1909 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1911 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1912 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1914 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1916 * Released nmh-0.24.
1918 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1920 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1921 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1923 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1924 large sequence line.
1926 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928 * Released nmh-0.23.
1930 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1932 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1933 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1934 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1935 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1937 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1938 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1941 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1943 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1945 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1947 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1948 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1950 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1951 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1953 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1954 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1956 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1957 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1959 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1961 * Released nmh-0.22.
1963 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1964 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1966 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1968 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1969 mh-profile(5) man page.
1971 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1972 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1974 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1976 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1978 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1979 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1981 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1983 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1984 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1985 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1987 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1988 source message on the standard input.
1990 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1992 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1993 rather than -rfc934mode.
1995 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1996 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1999 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2000 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2002 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2005 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2007 * Released nmh-0.21.
2009 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2010 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2012 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2015 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2016 to use for text contents.
2018 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2020 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2022 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2024 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2026 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2027 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2029 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2030 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2031 spaces between encoded word are.
2033 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2035 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2036 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2038 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2039 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2040 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2042 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2044 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2045 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2047 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2049 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2051 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2052 ISO-8859-X character set.
2054 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2057 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2058 permissions, not write permissions.
2060 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2061 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2063 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2066 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2068 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2070 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2071 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2073 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2074 message contains valid character set.
2076 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2077 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2079 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2080 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2082 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2083 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2084 between an encoded word and normal text.
2086 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2087 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2089 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2090 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2092 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2095 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2096 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2099 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2100 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2102 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2103 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2105 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2107 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2109 * Released nmh-0.20.
2111 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2113 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2115 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2116 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2117 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2119 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2120 and the To: line was missing.
2122 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2124 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2126 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2128 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2129 watch the POP transaction.
2131 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2132 first, and use it if available.
2134 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2135 first, and use it if available.
2137 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2139 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2141 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2142 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2143 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2146 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2147 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2148 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2150 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2151 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2154 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2156 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2157 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2159 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2161 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2162 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2164 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2165 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2166 message to which you are replying.
2168 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2169 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2170 making group replies.
2172 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2174 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2176 * Released nmh-0.19.
2178 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2179 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2181 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2182 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2183 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2184 to the end of the man page.
2186 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2187 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2188 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2189 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2190 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2191 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2193 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2196 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2197 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2198 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2200 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2201 the next available number above the message number you wish
2204 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2205 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2207 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2208 file sbr/seq_print.c
2210 * flist will now update the current folder.
2212 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2213 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2214 but now undocumented.
2216 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2219 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2220 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2222 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2224 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2225 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2227 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2229 * Released nmh-0.18.
2231 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2232 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2233 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2235 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2236 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2238 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2239 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2240 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2241 previous public/private status.
2243 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2246 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2249 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2250 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2251 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2253 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2254 take option to determine whether it should get current
2255 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2256 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2258 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2260 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2261 wait for stopped processes.
2263 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2264 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2266 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2268 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2270 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2271 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2273 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2274 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2276 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2277 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2278 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2279 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2281 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2284 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2287 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2289 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2290 the debugging output.
2292 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2293 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2295 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2297 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2299 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2300 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2302 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2304 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2305 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2306 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2307 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2308 in the given sequence.
2310 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2311 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2312 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2313 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2314 subdirectories of a given directory.
2316 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2317 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2318 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2320 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2321 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2323 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2325 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2328 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2329 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2330 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2332 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2333 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2334 are calculated at runtime.
2336 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2338 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.

2344 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2345 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2346 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2347 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2348 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2350 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2351 adding message to folder itself.
2353 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2354 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2355 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2358 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2359 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2362 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2363 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2364 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2366 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2367 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2369 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2370 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2371 code to use it yet).
2373 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2375 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2377 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2378 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2380 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2381 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2383 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2385 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2388 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2390 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.

2401 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2403 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2405 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2407 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

2410 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2412 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2413 configuration files.
2415 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2421 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2423 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2424 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2426 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2429 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2430 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2432 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2433 number of refiled message.
2435 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2437 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2438 for return value of wait().
2440 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2442 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2444 * Released nmh-0.16.
2446 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2448 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2450 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2451 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2452 deal with binary messages, yet).
2454 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2456 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2458 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2459 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2460 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2461 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2462 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2463 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2465 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2466 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2468 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2469 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2471 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2472 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2475 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2477 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2479 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2480 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2483 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2486 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2488 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2489 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2490 which used unsigned chars by default.
2492 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2494 * Released nmh-0.15.
2496 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2501 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2503 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2506 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2507 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2508 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2510 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2511 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2513 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2515 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2516 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2518 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2519 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2520 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2521 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2523 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2524 and put in own subroutine.
2526 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2527 and put in own subroutine.
2529 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2530 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2531 refile.c to use new routine.
2533 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2535 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2537 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2540 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2541 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2542 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2544 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2547 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2548 adding message to sequence.
2550 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2551 corresponding file in sbr.
2553 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2556 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2558 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2559 all selected messages from a sequence.
2561 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2562 selected messages to a sequence.
2564 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2567 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2569 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2570 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2572 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2574 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2591 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2592 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2593 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2594 environment variable.
2596 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2597 draft folder facility in nmh.
2599 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2602 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2611 * Released nmh-0.13.
2613 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2614 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2615 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2616 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2619 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2620 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2622 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2624 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2625 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2627 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2629 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2645 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2646 mp->attrstats with macros.
2648 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2651 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2654 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2655 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2657 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2658 will suppress the display of the message header.
2660 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2662 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2663 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2665 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2667 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2669 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2671 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2672 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2674 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2675 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2677 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2679 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2681 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2682 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2684 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2685 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2687 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2689 * Released nmh-0.10.

2696 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2699 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2701 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2702 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2704 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2705 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2707 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2709 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2710 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2712 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2714 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2719 * Released nmh-0.09.
2721 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2723 * Add configure check for killpg.

2735 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2739 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2740 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2742 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2744 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2745 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2747 * Released nmh-0.08.
2749 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2750 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2751 locking database itself.
2753 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2755 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2757 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2758 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2761 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2762 rather than mmdf format.
2764 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2765 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2766 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2767 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2769 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2771 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2776 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2777 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2778 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2780 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2781 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2782 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2784 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2786 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2787 can still easily change this in config.h).
2789 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2790 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2791 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2793 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2795 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2796 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2805 * Released nmh-0.07.
2807 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2809 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2810 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2812 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2813 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2816 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2817 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2819 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2820 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2822 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2824 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2826 * Added configure check for tzset.
2828 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Released nmh-0.06.
2832 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2833 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2835 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2836 many such machines around anymore.
2838 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2839 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2841 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2842 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2844 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2846 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2847 pre-generated version if necessary.
2849 * Released nmh-0.05.
2851 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2852 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2853 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2854 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2856 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2857 be linked in one pass.
2859 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2861 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2862 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2864 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2866 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2868 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2870 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2871 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2872 become the current folder.
2874 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2876 * Released nmh-0.04.
2878 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2881 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2883 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2884 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2885 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2887 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2889 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2890 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2892 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2895 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2898 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2899 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2901 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2904 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2905 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2906 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2907 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2908 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2910 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2912 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2913 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2915 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2916 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2918 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2920 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2921 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2923 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2925 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2926 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2927 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2929 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2931 * Released nmh-0.03.
2933 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2934 .mh_sequence file existed.
2936 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2937 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2939 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2940 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2943 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2945 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2948 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2950 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2951 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2952 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2954 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2956 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2957 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2958 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2960 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2962 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2963 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2965 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2967 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2970 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2971 directory from where the source code is located.
2973 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2975 * Released nmh-0.02.
2977 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2982 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2985 and sys_nerr directly.
2987 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2991 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2993 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2995 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2996 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2997 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2998 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2999 rather than in script.
3001 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3005 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3006 macro defined on Solaris.
3008 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3010 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3011 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3013 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3014 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3015 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3016 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3019 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3021 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3022 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3024 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3027 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3029 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3031 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3032 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3034 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3036 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3037 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3039 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3041 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3042 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3043 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3044 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3045 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3046 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3048 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3050 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3052 * Released nmh-0.01.
3054 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3055 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3056 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3059 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3061 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3064 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3066 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3067 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3069 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3071 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3072 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3073 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3074 script to find_program.
3076 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3078 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3079 speed up -recurse option.
3081 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3082 yet, but it compiles :-)
3084 * Changed default location for install to
3085 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3086 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3087 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3090 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3091 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3092 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
