1 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
5 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
6 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
7 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
9 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
10 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
11 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
13 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
15 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
16 character set used by the current locale
18 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
19 message's filename overflows an int when converted
21 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
22 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
24 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
26 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
29 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
31 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
32 from Michael Richardson.
34 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
35 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
37 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
39 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
40 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
42 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
44 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
45 find sub-parts of the specified part
47 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
49 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
50 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
51 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
52 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
53 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
54 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
55 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
58 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
60 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
61 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
62 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
65 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
66 refiling with -src option.
68 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
70 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
72 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
74 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
75 mailpath being overwritten.
77 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
79 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
80 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
81 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
82 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
83 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
84 reinitializes the tmp file string.
86 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
87 if a format string was read from the profile.
89 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
90 path for the external hook.
92 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
94 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
95 another location for ndbm.
97 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
99 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
101 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
103 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
106 136976 - Handle binary content messages
107 143427 - mh-format.man typo
108 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
109 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
110 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
111 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
112 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
113 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
114 181867 - typo for nmh.man
116 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
118 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
119 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
120 contitional code which will result in cached data to
121 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
122 and parse on the first use.
123 * Remove some unused flag bits.
125 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
127 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
128 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
130 #578 - repl leaks umask
131 #1393 - sortm core dumps
132 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
133 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
134 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
136 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
137 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
139 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
141 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
142 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
144 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
146 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
147 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
148 to docs/README.about.
150 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
152 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
154 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
155 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
156 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
157 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
160 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
162 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
163 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
164 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
165 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
166 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
167 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
170 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
171 summary configure prints out.
173 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
174 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
175 subjectively more readable) format.
177 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
179 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
182 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
184 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
185 19xx when it's not necessary.
187 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
189 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
190 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
193 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
194 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
195 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
196 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
197 the man pages correctly.
199 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
201 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
203 * Finished manpages ali-prev
205 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
206 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
207 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
210 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
211 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
212 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
213 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
215 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
217 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
218 the formatting rules I've been using.
222 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
224 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
225 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
226 used in the manpages.
228 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
229 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
230 read in the contents of the file as the variable
233 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
234 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
235 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
236 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
237 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
238 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
239 bold flags and italicized parameters.
241 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
243 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
244 --with-locking option.
246 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
247 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
248 information was not being communicated to the
249 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
250 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
251 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
252 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
253 undefined symbols problems.
255 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
256 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
257 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
258 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
259 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
260 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
261 for a genuine krb4 installation.
263 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
265 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
266 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
268 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * Made a new ./configure option called
271 "--with-locking" that allows the file
272 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
273 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
275 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
276 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
277 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
278 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
279 the user that these are the valid options, and
280 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
283 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
285 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
286 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
287 committed to supporting flex only, since
288 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
289 string, as well as other problems documented
290 below and on nmh-workers.
292 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
293 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
294 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
297 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
298 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
300 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
302 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
303 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
304 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
306 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
308 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
309 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
311 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
313 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
314 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
315 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
316 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
317 couldn't correctly identify them.
319 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
321 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
322 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
323 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
324 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
325 not depending on an external archive.
327 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
328 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
329 mts/generic is no longer built.
331 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
333 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
334 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
335 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
336 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
337 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
338 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
339 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
340 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
342 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
344 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
345 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
348 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
350 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
351 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
352 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
355 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
356 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
357 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
358 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
360 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
361 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
362 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
363 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
364 merged into the smtp code).
366 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
367 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
368 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
371 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
372 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
373 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
374 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
375 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
376 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
377 in the appropriate Makefile.in
379 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
381 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
382 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
383 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
384 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
385 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
386 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
387 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
388 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
389 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
390 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
391 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
393 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
395 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
396 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
397 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
398 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
399 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
400 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
401 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
402 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
403 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
405 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
407 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
408 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
411 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
413 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
414 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
416 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
418 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
419 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
420 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
421 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
423 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
425 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
426 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
427 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
428 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
429 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
431 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
432 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
434 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
436 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
438 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
439 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
440 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
441 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
443 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
444 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
445 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
446 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
448 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
449 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
450 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
451 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
453 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
454 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
455 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
457 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
459 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
460 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
461 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
462 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
463 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
464 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
467 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
468 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
470 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
471 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
473 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
475 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
477 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
479 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
480 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
481 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
482 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
484 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
486 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
487 be easily changed from "," to "#".
489 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
491 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
493 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
494 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
497 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
499 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
500 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
501 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
502 but not for the subsequent data stream.
504 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
506 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
507 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
508 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
509 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
510 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
512 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
514 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
515 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
517 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
518 cat, also define lorder as echo.
520 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
522 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
524 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
525 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
526 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
528 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
530 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
533 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
534 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
536 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
538 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
539 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
541 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
543 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
544 inc does not need to be setgid.
546 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
548 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
549 library, as found on Debian systems.
551 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
553 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
555 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
556 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
557 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
558 case-insensitivity flag.
560 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
562 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
563 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
565 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
567 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
568 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
569 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
570 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
571 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
572 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
573 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
574 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
575 getting moved aside).
577 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
578 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
580 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
582 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
583 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
584 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
585 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
586 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
587 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
588 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
589 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
590 the prototype, but never sets it.
592 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
593 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
594 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
595 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
596 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
597 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
599 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
600 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
601 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
602 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
603 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
605 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
607 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
608 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
611 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
612 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
613 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
614 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
615 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
616 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
617 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
619 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
621 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
623 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
624 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
625 this works on other systems.
627 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
629 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
630 checks for write failures.
632 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
634 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
636 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
639 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
641 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
643 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
645 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
646 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
649 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
651 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
652 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
653 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
654 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
656 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
658 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
659 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
662 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
663 as well as Makefiles.
665 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
667 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
668 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
669 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
670 should make maintainability easier.
672 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
673 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
674 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
675 whatever you know works.
677 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
679 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
680 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
681 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
683 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
684 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
685 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
686 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
688 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
689 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
690 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
692 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
693 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
694 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
695 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
696 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
698 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
699 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
700 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
701 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
702 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
703 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
704 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
705 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
706 from the BSD version.
708 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
709 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
710 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
712 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
715 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
718 This happens on solaris:
721 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
722 No manual entry for mts.conf.
726 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
728 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
729 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
731 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
733 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
734 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
735 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
736 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
737 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
738 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
739 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
740 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
741 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
742 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
743 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
745 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
746 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
747 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
748 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
749 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
750 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
753 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
754 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
755 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
756 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
757 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
759 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
760 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
762 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
764 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
765 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
766 to stdin, such as exmh.
768 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
769 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
770 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
773 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
776 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
777 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
778 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
779 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
780 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
781 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
783 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
785 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
786 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
788 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
790 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
791 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
793 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
795 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
798 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
799 along with any -host or -user option.
801 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
803 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
805 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
806 process was fresh in my mind.
808 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
810 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
811 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
813 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
815 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
817 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
820 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
821 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
822 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
823 part of the program's name.
825 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
826 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
829 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
831 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
832 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
833 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
834 single-character format would cause programs using this
835 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
836 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
837 when the format string was one character. This eventually
838 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
841 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
843 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
844 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
845 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
846 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
847 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
848 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
850 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
851 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
852 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
853 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
854 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
855 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
856 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
857 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
859 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
860 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
861 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
862 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
863 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
864 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
865 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
866 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
867 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
868 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
870 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
872 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
873 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
875 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
876 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
878 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
883 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
885 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
886 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
887 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
888 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
890 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
891 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
892 problem in the routine.
894 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
896 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
897 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
899 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
900 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
901 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
904 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
906 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
907 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
908 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
909 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
910 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
911 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
912 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
913 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
914 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
915 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
917 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
919 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
920 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
921 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
922 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
923 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
924 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
925 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
926 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
927 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
928 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
929 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
930 interesting than a duplication of the default.
932 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
933 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
934 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
935 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
936 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
938 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
941 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
943 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
944 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
945 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
946 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
949 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
951 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Applied, after some finessing,
954 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
956 Here's a patch that allows you to add
958 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
960 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
961 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
962 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
963 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
965 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
967 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
968 forgetting to do so!).
970 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
971 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
972 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
973 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
974 arguments to enable all three types.
976 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
977 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
979 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
980 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
981 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
982 updated copy of mts.conf.
984 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
986 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
987 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
988 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
990 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
992 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
994 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
995 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
996 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
998 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
999 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1000 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1002 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1003 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1004 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1006 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1008 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1012 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1014 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1015 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1017 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1018 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1019 certain suffix to run properly.
1021 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1022 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1023 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1025 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1026 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1027 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1028 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1029 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1030 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1031 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1033 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1035 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1036 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1037 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1038 until some year far in the future).
1040 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1042 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1044 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1045 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1047 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1048 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1051 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1053 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1054 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1055 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1056 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1057 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1058 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1060 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1062 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1064 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1065 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1066 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1068 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1069 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1070 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1071 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1072 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1073 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1076 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1077 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1078 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1079 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1080 of masquerading individually.
1082 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1083 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1084 GECOS field delimiters.
1086 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1088 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1089 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1090 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1091 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1092 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1093 and explaining the feature.
1095 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1097 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1098 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1101 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1102 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1103 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1105 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1106 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1107 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1108 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1110 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1111 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1112 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1115 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1117 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1118 code to be executed.
1120 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1122 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1124 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1125 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1126 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1127 quotes embedded in them.
1129 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1131 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1132 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1133 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1134 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1135 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1136 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1137 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1140 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1141 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1142 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1143 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1144 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1146 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1148 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1150 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1151 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1152 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1153 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1155 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1158 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1160 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1162 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1164 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1165 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1166 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1168 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1171 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1173 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1174 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1175 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1176 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1177 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1178 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1180 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1181 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1183 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1185 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1188 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1190 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1191 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1192 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1195 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1196 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1197 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1198 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1199 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1200 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1201 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1202 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1203 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1204 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1205 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1206 processing that post has).
1208 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1210 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1211 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1212 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1213 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1214 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1215 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1218 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1220 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1222 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1224 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1226 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1227 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1229 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1232 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1234 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1235 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1236 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1239 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1241 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1242 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1243 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1244 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1245 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1246 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1248 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1250 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1252 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1254 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1255 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1256 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1257 caught again. This works for now.
1259 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1261 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1263 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1264 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1266 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1268 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1269 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1271 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1273 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1275 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1277 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1278 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1280 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1282 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1283 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1284 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1285 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1286 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1289 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1291 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1292 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1293 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1295 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1296 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1299 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1301 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1302 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1303 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1305 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1308 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1310 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1312 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1315 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1316 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1318 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1319 macros, regardless of platform.
1321 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1322 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1324 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1325 with x-conversions=gzip.
1327 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1329 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1332 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1333 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1334 implicit definition of ioctl().
1336 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1337 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1338 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1339 want to mess with them.
1341 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1343 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1344 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1346 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1347 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1349 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1350 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1351 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1353 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1354 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1355 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1357 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1358 function initgroups.
1360 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1363 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1364 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1367 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1368 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1371 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1372 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1376 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1378 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1379 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1380 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1382 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1383 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1385 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1387 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1389 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1390 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1391 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1392 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1394 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1395 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1397 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1399 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1401 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1403 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1404 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1406 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1408 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1409 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1411 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1412 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1413 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1414 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1416 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1417 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1419 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1421 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1422 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1424 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1426 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1427 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1430 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1432 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1434 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1436 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1437 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1439 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1440 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1441 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1443 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1444 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1445 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1447 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1448 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1449 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1451 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1452 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1455 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1456 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1458 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1459 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1461 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1462 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1464 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1465 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1466 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1468 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1469 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1471 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1472 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1473 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1475 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1476 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1479 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1480 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1482 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1483 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1484 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1485 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1487 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1488 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1490 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1494 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1495 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1496 would not be changed.
1498 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1499 one from the Apache web server.
1501 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1502 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1504 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1505 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1506 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1508 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1510 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1512 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1513 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1516 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1517 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1518 removes a bad race condition.
1520 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1523 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1524 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1525 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1527 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1528 sequence information.
1530 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1531 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1533 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1536 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1539 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1541 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1542 interpret 034 as octal.
1544 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1546 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1547 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1549 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1550 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1552 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1553 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1555 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1556 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1558 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1559 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1561 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1562 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1563 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1565 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1566 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1567 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1569 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1571 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1573 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1574 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1577 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1579 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1580 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1582 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1583 header field information.
1585 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1586 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1588 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1589 values when parsing a content.
1591 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1592 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1594 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1595 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1597 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1598 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1600 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1601 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1603 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1605 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1607 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1609 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1611 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1612 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1615 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1616 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1618 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1619 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1620 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1621 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1622 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1623 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1626 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1628 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1629 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1630 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1632 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1633 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1635 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1637 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1638 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1639 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1640 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1642 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1643 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1646 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1647 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1648 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1649 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1652 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1654 * Released nmh-0.27.
1656 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1657 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1659 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1660 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1661 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1662 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1665 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1666 mhbuild returns an error.
1668 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1669 rename the draft file.
1671 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1672 use a global variable.
1674 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1675 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1677 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1678 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1680 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1681 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1682 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1684 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1685 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1687 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1688 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1691 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1692 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1695 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1696 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1698 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1699 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1700 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1702 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1703 to new function output_content_folder.
1705 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1706 new function output_content_file.
1708 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1709 to new function parse_format_string.
1711 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1712 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1713 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1714 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1716 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1717 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1718 message/external file from ftp.
1720 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1721 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1722 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1724 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1725 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1728 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1731 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1732 new file mhstoresbr.c
1734 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1737 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1738 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1740 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1741 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1743 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1744 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1745 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1747 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1749 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1751 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1752 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1755 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1756 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1758 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1761 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1763 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1765 * Released nmh-0.26.
1767 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1768 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1769 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1770 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1772 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1773 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1774 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1775 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1776 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1778 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1779 But it is not on by default.
1781 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1782 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1784 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1786 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1788 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1790 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1792 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1793 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1795 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1797 * Released nmh-0.25.
1799 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1800 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1801 uses the original name of the library.
1803 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1804 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1807 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1808 list_content and list_debug.
1810 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1812 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1813 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1815 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1817 * Released nmh-0.24.
1819 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1821 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1822 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1824 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1825 large sequence line.
1827 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1829 * Released nmh-0.23.
1831 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1833 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1834 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1835 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1836 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1838 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1839 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1842 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1844 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1846 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1848 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1849 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1851 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1852 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1854 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1855 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1857 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1858 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1860 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1862 * Released nmh-0.22.
1864 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1865 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1867 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1869 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1870 mh-profile(5) man page.
1872 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1873 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1875 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1877 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1879 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1880 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1882 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1884 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1885 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1886 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1888 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1889 source message on the standard input.
1891 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1893 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1894 rather than -rfc934mode.
1896 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1897 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1900 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1901 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1903 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1906 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1908 * Released nmh-0.21.
1910 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1911 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1913 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1916 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1917 to use for text contents.
1919 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1921 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1925 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1927 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1928 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1930 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1931 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1932 spaces between encoded word are.
1934 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1936 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1937 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1939 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1940 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1941 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1943 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1945 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1946 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1948 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1950 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1952 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1953 ISO-8859-X character set.
1955 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1958 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1959 permissions, not write permissions.
1961 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1962 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1964 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1967 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1969 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1971 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1972 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1974 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1975 message contains valid character set.
1977 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1978 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1980 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1981 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1983 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1984 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1985 between an encoded word and normal text.
1987 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1988 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1990 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1991 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1993 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1996 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1997 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2000 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2001 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2003 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2004 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2006 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2008 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2010 * Released nmh-0.20.
2012 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2014 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2016 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2017 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2018 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2020 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2021 and the To: line was missing.
2023 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2025 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2027 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2029 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2030 watch the POP transaction.
2032 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2033 first, and use it if available.
2035 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2036 first, and use it if available.
2038 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2040 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2042 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2043 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2044 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2047 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2048 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2049 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2051 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2052 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2055 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2057 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2058 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2060 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2062 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2063 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2065 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2066 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2067 message to which you are replying.
2069 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2070 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2071 making group replies.
2073 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2075 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2077 * Released nmh-0.19.
2079 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2080 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2082 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2083 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2084 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2085 to the end of the man page.
2087 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2088 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2089 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2090 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2091 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2092 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2094 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2097 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2098 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2099 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2101 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2102 the next available number above the message number you wish
2105 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2106 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2108 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2109 file sbr/seq_print.c
2111 * flist will now update the current folder.
2113 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2114 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2115 but now undocumented.
2117 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2120 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2121 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2123 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2125 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2126 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2128 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2130 * Released nmh-0.18.
2132 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2133 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2134 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2136 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2137 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2139 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2140 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2141 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2142 previous public/private status.
2144 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2147 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2150 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2151 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2152 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2154 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2155 take option to determine whether it should get current
2156 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2157 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2159 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2161 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2162 wait for stopped processes.
2164 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2165 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2167 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2169 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2171 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2172 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2174 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2175 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2177 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2178 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2179 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2180 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2182 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2185 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2188 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2190 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2191 the debugging output.
2193 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2194 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2196 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2198 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2200 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2201 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2203 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2205 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2206 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2207 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2208 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2209 in the given sequence.
2211 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2212 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2213 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2214 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2215 subdirectories of a given directory.
2217 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2218 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2219 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2221 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2222 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2224 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2226 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2229 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2230 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2231 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2233 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2234 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2235 are calculated at runtime.
2237 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2239 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2241 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2242 about checking for global mh.profile.
2244 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2245 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2246 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2247 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2248 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2249 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2251 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2252 adding message to folder itself.
2254 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2255 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2256 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2259 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2260 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2263 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2264 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2265 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2267 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2268 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2270 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2271 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much

2322 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2324 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2325 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2327 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2330 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2331 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.

2334 number of refiled message.
2336 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2338 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2339 for return value of wait().

2349 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2351 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2352 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2353 deal with binary messages, yet).
2355 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2357 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2359 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2360 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2361 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2362 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2363 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2364 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2366 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2367 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

2387 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2389 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2402 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2404 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2407 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2408 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2409 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2411 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2412 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2414 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2416 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since

2419 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2420 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2421 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2422 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2424 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2425 and put in own subroutine.
2427 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2428 and put in own subroutine.

2431 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2432 refile.c to use new routine.
2434 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2436 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2438 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2441 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2442 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2443 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2445 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2448 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2463 selected messages to a sequence.
2465 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2468 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2470 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2471 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2473 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2475 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2512 * Released nmh-0.13.
2514 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2515 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2516 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2517 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2520 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2521 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2523 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2526 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2528 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2530 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2555 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2556 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2558 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2559 will suppress the display of the message header.
2561 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2563 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2564 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2566 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2568 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2570 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2572 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2573 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2575 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2576 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2578 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2580 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2582 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2583 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2585 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2586 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2588 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590 * Released nmh-0.10.

2600 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2602 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2603 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2605 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2606 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2608 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2610 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2611 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2613 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2615 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2643 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2645 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2646 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2648 * Released nmh-0.08.
2650 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2651 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2652 locking database itself.

2656 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2658 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2659 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2662 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2663 rather than mmdf format.
2665 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2666 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2667 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2668 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2670 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2672 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2674 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2677 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2678 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2679 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2681 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2682 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2685 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2687 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2688 can still easily change this in config.h).
2690 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2691 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2692 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2694 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2696 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2711 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2713 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2714 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2717 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2718 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2721 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2723 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2725 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2727 * Added configure check for tzset.

2731 * Released nmh-0.06.
2733 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2734 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2736 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2737 many such machines around anymore.
2739 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2740 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2742 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2743 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2745 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2747 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2748 pre-generated version if necessary.
2750 * Released nmh-0.05.
2752 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2753 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2754 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2755 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2757 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2758 be linked in one pass.
2760 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2762 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2763 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2765 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2767 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2769 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2772 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2773 become the current folder.
2775 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Released nmh-0.04.
2779 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2782 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2784 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2785 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2786 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2788 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2790 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2791 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2793 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2795 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2796 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2799 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2800 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2802 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2805 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2806 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2807 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2808 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2809 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2811 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2814 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2816 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2817 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2819 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2821 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2822 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2824 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2826 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2827 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2828 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2830 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2832 * Released nmh-0.03.
2834 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2835 .mh_sequence file existed.
2837 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2838 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2840 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2841 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2844 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2846 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2849 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2851 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2852 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2853 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2855 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2858 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2859 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2861 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2864 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2866 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2868 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2870 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2871 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2872 directory from where the source code is located.
2874 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2943 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2944 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2945 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2946 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2947 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.

2972 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2973 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).

2975 script to find_program.

2979 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2980 speed up -recurse option.

2983 yet, but it compiles :-)
2985 * Changed default location for install to
2986 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2987 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2988 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2991 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2992 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2993 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
