5 2008-05-23 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
7 * Released nmh-1.3 RC3.
9 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
11 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
12 with multibyte support. (Ported from trunk.)
14 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
15 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
16 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
17 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
20 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
22 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
23 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
26 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
27 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults. (Ported from
30 2008-05-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
32 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
33 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
34 This allows users to masquerade with the default
35 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
36 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
37 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
38 etc/mts.conf. (Ported from trunk.)
40 2008-05-20 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
42 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $<
43 in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only
44 defined in inference rules. (Ported from trunk.)
46 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
48 * Released nmh-1.3 RC2.
50 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
52 * Fixes ported from trunk:
54 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
55 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
56 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
57 ruserpass() has a void return type.
59 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
60 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
61 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
62 provide memmove() substitute implementation
64 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
65 source directory' feature
67 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
68 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
70 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
72 * Fixes ported from trunk:
74 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
75 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
76 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
79 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
80 is the wrong approach.
82 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
83 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
84 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
87 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
88 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
89 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
90 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
91 broken for continued lines from the server.
93 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
95 * Port fix from trunk for SASL not working with newer libsasl.
97 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
99 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
101 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
103 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
104 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
105 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
106 obsolete feature of autoconf
108 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
110 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
111 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
112 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
114 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
116 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
117 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
119 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
121 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
124 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
126 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
127 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
128 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
129 following done() (should never be reached).
131 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
133 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
134 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
136 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
138 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
139 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
141 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
143 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
144 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
145 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
146 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
147 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
148 acconfig.h if you must.
150 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
152 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
153 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
154 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
155 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
157 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
159 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
162 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
164 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
165 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
166 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
167 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
168 have Content-Disposition.
170 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
172 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
175 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
177 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
178 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
180 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
182 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
183 encoded block is empty
185 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
187 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
188 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
189 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
192 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
194 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
195 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
198 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
200 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
201 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
202 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
203 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
206 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
207 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
209 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
211 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
212 function num_digits into utils.c
214 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
216 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
217 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
218 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
220 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
222 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
223 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
224 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
225 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
226 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
227 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
228 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
229 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
231 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
233 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
234 Content-Disposition header.
236 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
238 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
239 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
240 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
241 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
242 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
243 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
244 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
245 users to easily accomodate that by adding
246 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
248 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
250 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
251 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
253 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
255 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
257 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
258 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
260 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
261 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
263 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
265 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
266 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
267 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
268 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
269 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
272 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
274 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
275 widths, restoring right justification feature
277 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
279 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
280 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
281 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
283 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
286 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
288 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
289 handling multi column characters.
291 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
293 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
295 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
297 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
298 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
301 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
303 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
305 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
307 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
310 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
312 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
315 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
317 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
318 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
319 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
320 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
322 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
324 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
325 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
326 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
327 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
328 where configure's autodetection fails.
330 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
332 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
333 configure script change.
335 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
337 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
338 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
339 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
342 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
344 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
345 the context is only read once.
347 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
349 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
350 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
352 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
354 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
355 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
357 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
358 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
361 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
362 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
365 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
367 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
368 vi isn't found during build.
370 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
372 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
373 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
375 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
376 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
377 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
379 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
381 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
382 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
384 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
385 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
386 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
387 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
390 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
391 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
392 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
394 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
395 entry in the context file.
397 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
399 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
400 problems on some systems
402 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
403 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
405 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
407 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
408 sendmail isn't found during build.
410 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
412 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
414 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
416 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
417 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
419 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
420 references to the web page and mailing list locations
422 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
423 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
425 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
428 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
430 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
431 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
432 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
434 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
435 was configured with --enable-apop.
437 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
438 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
439 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
441 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
442 new versions of flex.
444 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
445 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
446 doesn't guess wrongly.
448 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
450 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
451 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
453 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
454 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
456 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
457 files with numbers as names
459 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
461 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
463 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
465 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
467 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
468 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
470 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
472 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
475 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
476 test/report error writing to stdout
478 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
480 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
482 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
483 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
484 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
486 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
487 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
488 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
490 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
492 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
493 character set used by the current locale
495 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
496 message's filename overflows an int when converted
498 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
499 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
501 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
503 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
506 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
508 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
509 from Michael Richardson.
511 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
512 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
514 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
516 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
517 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
519 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
521 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
522 find sub-parts of the specified part
524 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
526 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
527 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
528 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
529 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
530 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
531 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
532 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
535 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
537 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
538 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
539 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
542 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
543 refiling with -src option.
545 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
547 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
549 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
551 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
552 mailpath being overwritten.
554 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
556 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
557 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
558 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
559 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
560 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
561 reinitializes the tmp file string.
563 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
564 if a format string was read from the profile.
566 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
567 path for the external hook.
569 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
571 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
572 another location for ndbm.
574 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
576 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
578 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
580 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
583 136976 - Handle binary content messages
584 143427 - mh-format.man typo
585 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
586 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
587 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
588 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
589 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
590 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
591 181867 - typo for nmh.man
593 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
595 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
596 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
597 contitional code which will result in cached data to
598 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
599 and parse on the first use.
600 * Remove some unused flag bits.
602 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
604 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
605 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
607 #578 - repl leaks umask
608 #1393 - sortm core dumps
609 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
610 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
611 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
613 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
614 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
616 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
618 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
619 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
621 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
623 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
624 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
625 to docs/README.about.
627 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
629 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
631 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
632 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
633 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
634 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
637 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
639 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
640 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
641 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
642 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
643 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
644 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
647 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
648 summary configure prints out.
650 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
651 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
652 subjectively more readable) format.
654 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
656 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
659 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
661 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
662 19xx when it's not necessary.
664 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
666 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
667 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
670 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
671 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
672 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
673 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
674 the man pages correctly.
676 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
678 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
680 * Finished manpages ali-prev
682 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
683 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
684 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
687 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
688 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
689 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
690 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
692 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
695 the formatting rules I've been using.
699 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
701 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
702 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
703 used in the manpages.
705 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
706 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
707 read in the contents of the file as the variable
710 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
711 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
712 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
713 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
714 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
715 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
716 bold flags and italicized parameters.
718 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
720 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
721 --with-locking option.
723 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
724 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
725 information was not being communicated to the
726 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
727 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
728 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
729 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
730 undefined symbols problems.
732 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
733 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
734 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
735 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
736 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
737 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
738 for a genuine krb4 installation.
740 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
743 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
745 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
747 * Made a new ./configure option called
748 "--with-locking" that allows the file
749 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
750 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
752 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
753 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
754 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
755 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
756 the user that these are the valid options, and
757 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
760 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
762 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
763 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
764 committed to supporting flex only, since
765 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
766 string, as well as other problems documented
767 below and on nmh-workers.
769 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
770 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
771 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
774 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
775 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
777 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
779 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
780 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
781 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
783 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
785 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
786 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
788 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
790 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
791 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
792 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
793 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
794 couldn't correctly identify them.
796 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
798 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
799 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
800 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
801 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
802 not depending on an external archive.
804 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
805 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
806 mts/generic is no longer built.
808 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
810 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
811 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
812 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
813 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
814 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
815 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
816 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
817 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
819 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
821 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
822 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
825 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
827 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
828 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
829 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
832 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
833 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
834 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
835 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
837 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
838 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
839 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
840 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
841 merged into the smtp code).
843 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
844 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
845 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
848 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
849 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
850 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
851 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
852 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
853 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
854 in the appropriate Makefile.in
856 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
858 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
859 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
860 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
861 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
862 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
863 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
864 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
865 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
866 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
867 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
868 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
870 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
872 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
873 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
874 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
875 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
876 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
877 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
878 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
879 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
880 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
882 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
884 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
885 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
888 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
890 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
891 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
893 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
895 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
896 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
897 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
898 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
900 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
902 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
903 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
904 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
905 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
906 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
908 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
909 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
911 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
913 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
915 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
916 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
917 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
918 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
920 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
921 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
922 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
923 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
925 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
926 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
927 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
928 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
930 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
931 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
932 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
934 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
936 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
937 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
938 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
939 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
940 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
941 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
944 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
945 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
947 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
948 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
950 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
952 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
954 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
956 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
957 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
958 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
959 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
961 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
963 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
964 be easily changed from "," to "#".
966 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
968 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
970 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
971 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
974 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
977 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
978 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
979 but not for the subsequent data stream.
981 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
983 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
984 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
985 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
986 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
987 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
989 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
991 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
992 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
994 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
995 cat, also define lorder as echo.
997 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
999 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1001 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1002 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1003 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1005 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1007 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1010 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1011 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1013 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1015 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1016 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1018 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1020 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1021 inc does not need to be setgid.
1023 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1025 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1026 library, as found on Debian systems.
1028 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1030 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1032 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1033 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1034 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1035 case-insensitivity flag.
1037 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1039 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1040 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1042 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1044 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1045 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1046 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1047 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1048 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1049 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1050 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1051 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1052 getting moved aside).
1054 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1055 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1057 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1059 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1060 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1061 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1062 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1063 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1064 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1065 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1066 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1067 the prototype, but never sets it.
1069 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1070 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1071 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1072 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1073 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1074 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1076 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1077 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1078 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1079 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1080 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1082 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1084 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1085 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1088 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1089 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1090 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1091 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1092 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1093 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1094 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1096 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1098 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1100 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1101 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1102 this works on other systems.
1104 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1106 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1107 checks for write failures.
1109 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1111 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1113 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1116 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1118 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1120 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1122 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1123 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1126 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1128 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1129 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1130 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1131 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1133 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1135 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1136 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1139 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1140 as well as Makefiles.
1142 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1144 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1145 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1146 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1147 should make maintainability easier.
1149 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1150 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1151 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1152 whatever you know works.
1154 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1156 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1157 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1158 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1160 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1161 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1162 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1163 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1165 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1166 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1167 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1169 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1170 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1171 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1172 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1173 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1175 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1176 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1177 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1178 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1179 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1180 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1181 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1182 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1183 from the BSD version.
1185 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1186 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1187 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1189 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1190 in ruserpass.c also.
1192 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1195 This happens on solaris:
1198 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1199 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1203 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1205 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1206 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1208 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1211 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1212 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1213 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1214 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1215 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1216 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1217 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1218 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1219 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1220 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1222 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1223 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1224 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1225 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1226 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1227 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1230 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1231 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1232 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1233 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1234 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1236 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1237 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1239 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1241 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1242 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1243 to stdin, such as exmh.
1245 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1246 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1247 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1250 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1252 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1253 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1254 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1255 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1256 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1257 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1258 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1260 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1262 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1263 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1265 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1267 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1268 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1270 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1272 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1275 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1276 along with any -host or -user option.
1278 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1282 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1283 process was fresh in my mind.
1285 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1288 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1290 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1292 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1294 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1297 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1298 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1299 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1300 part of the program's name.
1302 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1303 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1306 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1308 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1309 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1310 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1311 single-character format would cause programs using this
1312 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1313 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1314 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1315 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1318 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1320 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1321 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1322 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1323 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1324 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1325 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1327 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1328 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1329 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1330 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1331 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1332 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1333 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1334 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1336 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1337 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1338 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1339 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1340 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1341 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1342 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1343 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1344 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1345 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1347 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1349 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1350 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1352 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1353 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1355 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1360 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1362 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1363 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1364 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1365 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1367 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1368 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1369 problem in the routine.
1371 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1373 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1374 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1376 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1377 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1378 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1381 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1383 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1384 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1385 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1386 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1387 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1388 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1389 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1390 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1391 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1392 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1394 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1396 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1397 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1398 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1399 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1400 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1401 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1402 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1403 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1404 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1405 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1406 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1407 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1409 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1410 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1411 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1412 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1413 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1415 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1418 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1420 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1421 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1422 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1423 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1426 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1428 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1430 * Applied, after some finessing,
1431 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1433 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1435 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1437 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1438 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1439 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1440 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1442 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1444 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1445 forgetting to do so!).
1447 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1448 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1449 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1450 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1451 arguments to enable all three types.
1453 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1454 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1456 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1457 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1458 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1459 updated copy of mts.conf.
1461 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1463 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1464 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1465 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1467 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1469 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1471 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1472 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1473 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1475 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1476 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1477 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1479 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1480 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1481 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1483 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1485 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1487 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1489 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1491 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1492 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1494 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1495 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1496 certain suffix to run properly.
1498 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1499 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1500 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1502 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1503 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1504 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1505 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1506 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1507 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1508 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1510 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1512 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1513 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1514 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1515 until some year far in the future).
1517 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1519 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1521 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1522 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1524 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1525 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1528 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1530 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1531 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1532 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1533 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1534 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1535 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1537 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1541 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1542 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1543 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1545 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1546 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1547 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1548 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1549 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1550 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1553 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1554 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1555 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1556 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1557 of masquerading individually.
1559 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1560 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1561 GECOS field delimiters.
1563 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1565 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1566 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1567 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1568 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1569 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1570 and explaining the feature.
1572 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1574 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1575 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1578 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1579 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1580 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1582 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1583 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1584 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1585 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1587 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1588 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1589 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1592 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1594 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1595 code to be executed.
1597 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1599 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1601 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1602 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1603 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1604 quotes embedded in them.
1606 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1608 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1609 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1610 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1611 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1612 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1613 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1614 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1617 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1618 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1619 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1620 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1621 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1623 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1625 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1627 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1628 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1629 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1630 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1632 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1635 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1637 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1639 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1641 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1642 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1643 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1645 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1648 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1650 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1651 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1652 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1653 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1654 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1655 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1657 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1658 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1660 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1662 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1665 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1667 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1668 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1669 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1672 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1673 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1674 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1675 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1676 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1677 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1678 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1679 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1680 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1681 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1682 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1683 processing that post has).
1685 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1687 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1688 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1689 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1690 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1691 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1692 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1695 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1697 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1699 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1701 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1703 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1704 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1706 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1709 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1711 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1712 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1713 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1716 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1718 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1719 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1720 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1721 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1722 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1723 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1725 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1727 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1729 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1731 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1732 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1733 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1734 caught again. This works for now.
1736 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1738 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1740 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1741 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1743 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1745 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1746 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1748 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1750 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1752 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1754 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1755 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1757 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1759 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1760 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1761 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1762 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1763 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1766 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1768 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1769 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1770 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1772 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1773 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1776 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1778 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1779 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1780 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1782 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1784 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1785 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1787 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1789 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1792 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1793 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1795 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1796 macros, regardless of platform.
1798 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1799 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1801 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1802 with x-conversions=gzip.
1804 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1806 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1809 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1810 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1811 implicit definition of ioctl().
1813 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1814 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1815 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1816 want to mess with them.
1818 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1820 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1821 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1823 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1824 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1826 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1827 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1828 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1830 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1831 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1832 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1834 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1835 function initgroups.
1837 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1840 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1841 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1844 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1845 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1848 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1849 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1853 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1855 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1856 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1857 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1859 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1860 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1862 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1864 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1866 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1867 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1868 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1869 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1871 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1872 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1874 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1876 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1878 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1880 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1881 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1883 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1885 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1886 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1888 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1889 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1890 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1891 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1893 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1894 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1896 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1898 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1899 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1901 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1903 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1904 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1907 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1909 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1911 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1913 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1914 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1916 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1917 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1918 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1920 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1921 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1922 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1924 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1925 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1926 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1928 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1929 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1932 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1933 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1935 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1936 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1938 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1939 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1941 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1942 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1943 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1945 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1946 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1948 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1949 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1950 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1952 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1953 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1956 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1957 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1959 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1960 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1961 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1962 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1964 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1965 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1967 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1971 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1972 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1973 would not be changed.
1975 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1976 one from the Apache web server.
1978 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1979 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1981 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1982 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1983 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1985 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1987 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1989 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1990 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1993 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1994 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1995 removes a bad race condition.
1997 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2000 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2001 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2002 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2004 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2005 sequence information.
2007 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2008 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2010 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2013 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2016 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2018 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2019 interpret 034 as octal.
2021 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2023 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2024 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2026 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2027 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2029 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2030 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2032 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2033 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2035 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2036 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2038 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2039 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2040 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2042 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2043 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2044 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2046 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2048 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2050 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2051 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2054 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2056 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2057 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2059 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2060 header field information.
2062 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2063 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2065 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2066 values when parsing a content.
2068 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2069 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2071 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2072 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2074 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2075 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2077 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2078 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2080 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2082 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2084 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2086 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2088 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2089 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2092 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2093 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2095 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2096 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2097 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2098 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2099 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2100 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2103 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2105 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2106 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2107 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2109 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2110 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2112 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2114 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2115 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2116 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2117 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2119 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2120 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2123 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2124 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2125 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2126 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2129 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131 * Released nmh-0.27.
2133 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2134 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2136 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2137 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2138 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2139 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2142 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2143 mhbuild returns an error.
2145 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2146 rename the draft file.
2148 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2149 use a global variable.
2151 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2152 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2154 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2155 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2157 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2158 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2159 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2161 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2162 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2164 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2165 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2168 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2169 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2172 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2173 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2175 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2176 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2177 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2179 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2180 to new function output_content_folder.
2182 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2183 new function output_content_file.
2185 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2186 to new function parse_format_string.
2188 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2189 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2190 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2191 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2193 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2194 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2195 message/external file from ftp.
2197 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2198 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2199 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2201 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2202 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2205 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2208 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2209 new file mhstoresbr.c
2211 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2214 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2215 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2217 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2218 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2220 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2221 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2222 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2224 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2226 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2228 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2229 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2232 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2233 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2235 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2238 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2240 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2242 * Released nmh-0.26.
2244 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2245 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2246 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2247 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2249 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2250 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2251 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2252 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2253 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2255 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2256 But it is not on by default.
2258 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2259 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2261 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2263 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2265 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2267 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2269 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2270 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2272 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2274 * Released nmh-0.25.
2276 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2277 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2278 uses the original name of the library.
2280 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2281 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2284 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2285 list_content and list_debug.
2287 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2289 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2290 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2292 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2294 * Released nmh-0.24.
2296 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2298 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2299 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2301 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2302 large sequence line.
2304 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2306 * Released nmh-0.23.
2308 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2310 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2311 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2312 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2313 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2315 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2316 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2319 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2321 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2323 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2325 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2326 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2328 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2329 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2331 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2332 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2334 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2335 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2337 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2339 * Released nmh-0.22.
2341 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2342 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2344 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2346 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2347 mh-profile(5) man page.
2349 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2350 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2352 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2354 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2356 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2357 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2359 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2361 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2362 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2363 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2365 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2366 source message on the standard input.
2368 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2370 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2371 rather than -rfc934mode.
2373 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2374 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2377 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2378 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2380 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2383 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2385 * Released nmh-0.21.
2387 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2388 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2390 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2393 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2394 to use for text contents.
2396 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2398 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2400 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2402 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2404 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2405 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2407 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2408 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2409 spaces between encoded word are.
2411 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2413 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2414 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2416 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2417 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2418 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2420 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2422 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2423 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2425 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2427 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2429 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2430 ISO-8859-X character set.
2432 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2435 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2436 permissions, not write permissions.
2438 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2439 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2441 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2444 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2446 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2448 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2449 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2451 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2452 message contains valid character set.
2454 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2455 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2457 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2458 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2460 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2461 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2462 between an encoded word and normal text.
2464 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2465 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2467 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2468 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2470 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2473 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2474 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2477 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2478 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2480 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2481 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2483 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2485 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2487 * Released nmh-0.20.
2489 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2491 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2493 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2494 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2495 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2497 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2498 and the To: line was missing.
2500 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2502 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2504 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2506 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2507 watch the POP transaction.
2509 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2510 first, and use it if available.
2512 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2513 first, and use it if available.
2515 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2517 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2519 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2520 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2521 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2524 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2525 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2526 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2528 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2529 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2532 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2534 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2535 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2537 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2539 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2540 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2542 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2543 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2544 message to which you are replying.
2546 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2547 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2548 making group replies.
2550 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2552 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2554 * Released nmh-0.19.
2556 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2557 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2559 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2560 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2561 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2562 to the end of the man page.
2564 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2565 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2566 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2567 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2568 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2569 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2571 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2574 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2575 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2576 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2578 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2579 the next available number above the message number you wish
2582 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2583 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2585 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2586 file sbr/seq_print.c
2588 * flist will now update the current folder.
2590 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2591 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2592 but now undocumented.
2594 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2597 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2598 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2600 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2602 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2603 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2605 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2607 * Released nmh-0.18.
2609 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2610 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2611 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2613 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2614 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2616 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2617 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2618 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2619 previous public/private status.
2621 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2624 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2627 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2628 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2629 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2631 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2632 take option to determine whether it should get current
2633 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2634 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2636 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2638 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2639 wait for stopped processes.
2641 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2642 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2644 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2646 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2648 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2649 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2651 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2652 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2654 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2655 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2656 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2657 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2659 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2662 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2665 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2667 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2668 the debugging output.
2670 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2671 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2673 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2677 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2678 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2680 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2682 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2683 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2684 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2685 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2686 in the given sequence.
2688 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2689 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2690 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2691 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2692 subdirectories of a given directory.
2694 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2695 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2696 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2698 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2699 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2701 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2703 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2706 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2707 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2708 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2710 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2711 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2712 are calculated at runtime.
2714 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2716 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2718 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2719 about checking for global mh.profile.
2721 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2722 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2723 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2724 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2725 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2726 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2728 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2729 adding message to folder itself.
2731 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2732 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2733 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2736 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2737 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2740 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2741 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2742 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2744 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2745 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2747 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2748 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2749 code to use it yet).
2751 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2755 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2756 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2758 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2759 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2761 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2763 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2766 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2768 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2770 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2772 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2774 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2775 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2777 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2779 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2781 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2783 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2785 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2787 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2788 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2790 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2791 configuration files.
2793 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2795 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * Released nmh-0.17.
2799 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2801 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2802 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2804 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2807 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2808 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2810 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2811 number of refiled message.
2813 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2815 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2816 for return value of wait().
2818 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2820 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Released nmh-0.16.
2824 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2826 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2828 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2829 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2830 deal with binary messages, yet).
2832 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2834 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2836 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2837 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2838 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2839 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2840 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2841 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2843 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2844 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2846 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2847 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2849 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2850 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2853 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2855 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2857 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2858 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2861 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2864 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2866 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2867 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2868 which used unsigned chars by default.
2870 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2872 * Released nmh-0.15.
2874 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2879 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2881 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2884 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2885 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2886 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2888 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2889 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2891 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2893 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2894 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2896 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2897 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2898 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2899 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2901 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2902 and put in own subroutine.
2904 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2905 and put in own subroutine.
2907 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2908 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2909 refile.c to use new routine.
2911 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2913 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2915 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2918 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2919 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2920 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2922 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2925 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2926 adding message to sequence.

2929 corresponding file in sbr.
2931 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2934 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2936 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2937 all selected messages from a sequence.
2939 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2940 selected messages to a sequence.
2942 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2945 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2948 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2950 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2971 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2972 environment variable.
2974 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2975 draft folder facility in nmh.
2977 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2989 * Released nmh-0.13.
2991 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2992 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2993 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2994 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2997 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2998 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3000 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3002 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3003 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3005 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3007 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3029 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3032 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3033 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3035 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3036 will suppress the display of the message header.
3038 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3040 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3041 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3043 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3045 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3047 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3049 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3050 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3052 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3053 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3055 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3057 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3059 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3060 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3062 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3063 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3065 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3067 * Released nmh-0.10.

3077 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3079 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3080 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3082 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3083 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3085 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3087 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3088 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3090 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3092 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3093 of missing tabs in regex.

3120 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3122 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3123 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3125 * Released nmh-0.08.
3127 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3128 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3129 locking database itself.
3131 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3133 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3135 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3136 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3139 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3140 rather than mmdf format.
3142 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3143 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3144 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3145 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3147 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3149 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3151 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3154 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3155 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3156 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3158 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3159 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3160 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3162 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3164 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3165 can still easily change this in config.h).
3167 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3168 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3169 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3171 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3173 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3185 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3187 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3188 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3190 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3191 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3194 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3195 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3197 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3198 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3200 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3202 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3204 * Added configure check for tzset.

3208 * Released nmh-0.06.
3210 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3211 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3213 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3214 many such machines around anymore.
3216 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3217 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3219 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3220 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3222 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3224 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3225 pre-generated version if necessary.
3227 * Released nmh-0.05.
3229 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3230 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3231 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3232 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3234 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3235 be linked in one pass.
3237 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3239 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3240 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3242 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3244 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3246 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3248 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3249 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3250 become the current folder.
3252 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Released nmh-0.04.
3256 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3259 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3261 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3262 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3263 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3265 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3267 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3268 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3270 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3272 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3273 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3276 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3277 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3279 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3281 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3282 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3283 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3284 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3285 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3286 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3288 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3290 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3291 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3293 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3294 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3296 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3298 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3299 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3301 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3303 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3304 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3305 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3307 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * Released nmh-0.03.
3311 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3312 .mh_sequence file existed.
3314 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3315 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3317 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3318 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3321 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3323 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3326 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3328 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3329 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3330 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3332 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3334 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3335 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3336 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3338 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3340 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3341 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3343 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3345 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3347 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3348 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3349 directory from where the source code is located.
3351 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * Released nmh-0.02.
3355 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3360 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3362 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3363 and sys_nerr directly.
3365 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3367 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3369 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3371 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3373 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3374 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3375 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3376 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3377 rather than in script.
3379 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3381 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3383 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3384 macro defined on Solaris.

3388 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3389 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3391 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3392 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3393 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3394 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3397 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3399 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3400 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3402 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3405 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3407 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3409 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3410 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3412 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3414 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3415 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3417 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3419 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3420 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3421 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3422 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3423 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3424 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3426 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3428 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3430 * Released nmh-0.01.
3432 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3433 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3434 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3437 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3439 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3442 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3444 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3445 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3447 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3449 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3450 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3451 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3452 script to find_program.
3454 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3456 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3457 speed up -recurse option.
3459 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3460 yet, but it compiles :-)
3462 * Changed default location for install to
3463 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3464 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3465 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3468 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3469 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3470 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
