1 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
3 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
4 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
5 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
6 following done() (should never be reached).
8 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
10 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
11 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
13 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
15 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
16 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
18 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
20 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
21 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
22 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
23 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
24 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
25 acconfig.h if you must.
27 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
29 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
30 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
31 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
32 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
34 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
36 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
39 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
41 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
42 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
43 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
44 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
45 have Content-Disposition.
47 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
49 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
52 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
54 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
55 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
57 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
59 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
60 encoded block is empty
62 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
64 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
65 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
66 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
69 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
71 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
72 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
75 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
77 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
78 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
79 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
80 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
83 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
84 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
86 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
88 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
89 function num_digits into utils.c
91 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
93 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
94 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
95 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
97 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
99 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
100 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
101 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
102 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
103 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
104 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
105 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
106 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
108 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
110 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
111 Content-Disposition header.
113 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
115 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
116 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
117 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
118 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
119 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
120 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
121 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
122 users to easily accomodate that by adding
123 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
125 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
127 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
128 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
130 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
132 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
134 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
135 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
137 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
138 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
140 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
142 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
143 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
144 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
145 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
146 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
149 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
151 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
152 widths, restoring right justification feature
154 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
156 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
157 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
158 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
160 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
163 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
165 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
166 handling multi column characters.
168 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
170 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
172 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
174 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
175 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
178 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
180 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
182 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
184 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
187 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
189 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
192 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
194 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
195 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
196 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
197 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
199 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
201 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
202 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
203 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
204 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
205 where configure's autodetection fails.
207 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
209 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
210 configure script change.
212 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
214 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
215 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
216 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
219 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
221 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
222 the context is only read once.
224 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
226 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
227 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
229 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
231 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
232 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
234 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
235 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
238 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
239 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
242 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
244 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
245 vi isn't found during build.
247 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
249 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
250 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
252 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
253 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
254 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
256 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
258 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
259 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
261 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
262 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
263 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
264 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
267 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
268 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
269 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
271 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
272 entry in the context file.
274 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
276 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
277 problems on some systems
279 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
280 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
282 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
284 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
285 sendmail isn't found during build.
287 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
289 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
291 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
293 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
294 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
296 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
297 references to the web page and mailing list locations
299 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
300 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
302 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
305 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
307 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
308 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
309 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
311 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
312 was configured with --enable-apop.
314 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
315 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
316 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
318 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
319 new versions of flex.
321 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
322 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
323 doesn't guess wrongly.
325 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
327 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
328 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
330 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
331 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
333 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
334 files with numbers as names
336 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
338 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
340 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
342 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
344 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
345 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
347 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
349 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
352 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
353 test/report error writing to stdout
355 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
357 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
359 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
360 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
361 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
363 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
364 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
365 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
367 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
369 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
370 character set used by the current locale
372 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
373 message's filename overflows an int when converted
375 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
376 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
378 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
380 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
383 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
385 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
386 from Michael Richardson.
388 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
389 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
391 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
393 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
394 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
396 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
398 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
399 find sub-parts of the specified part
401 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
403 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
404 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
405 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
406 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
407 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
408 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
409 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
412 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
414 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
415 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
416 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
419 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
420 refiling with -src option.
422 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
424 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
426 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
428 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
429 mailpath being overwritten.
431 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
433 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
434 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
435 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
436 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
437 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
438 reinitializes the tmp file string.
440 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
441 if a format string was read from the profile.
443 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
444 path for the external hook.
446 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
448 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
449 another location for ndbm.
451 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
453 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
455 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
457 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
460 136976 - Handle binary content messages
461 143427 - mh-format.man typo
462 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
463 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
464 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
465 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
466 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
467 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
468 181867 - typo for nmh.man
470 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
472 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
473 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
474 contitional code which will result in cached data to
475 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
476 and parse on the first use.
477 * Remove some unused flag bits.
479 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
481 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
482 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
484 #578 - repl leaks umask
485 #1393 - sortm core dumps
486 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
487 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
488 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
490 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
491 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
493 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
495 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
496 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
498 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
500 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
501 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
502 to docs/README.about.
504 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
506 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
508 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
509 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
510 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
511 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
514 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
516 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
517 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
518 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
519 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
520 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
521 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
524 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
525 summary configure prints out.
527 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
528 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
529 subjectively more readable) format.
531 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
533 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
536 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
538 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
539 19xx when it's not necessary.
541 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
543 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
544 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
547 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
548 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
549 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
550 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
551 the man pages correctly.
553 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
555 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
557 * Finished manpages ali-prev
559 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
560 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
561 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
564 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
565 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
566 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
567 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
569 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
571 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
572 the formatting rules I've been using.
576 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
578 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
579 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
580 used in the manpages.
582 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
583 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
584 read in the contents of the file as the variable
587 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
588 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
589 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
590 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
591 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
592 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
593 bold flags and italicized parameters.
595 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
597 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
598 --with-locking option.
600 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
601 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
602 information was not being communicated to the
603 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
604 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
605 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
606 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
607 undefined symbols problems.
609 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
610 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
611 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
612 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
613 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
614 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
615 for a genuine krb4 installation.
617 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
619 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
620 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
622 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
624 * Made a new ./configure option called
625 "--with-locking" that allows the file
626 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
627 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
629 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
630 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
631 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
632 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
633 the user that these are the valid options, and
634 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
637 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
639 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
640 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
641 committed to supporting flex only, since
642 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
643 string, as well as other problems documented
644 below and on nmh-workers.
646 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
647 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
648 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
651 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
652 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
654 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
656 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
657 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
658 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
660 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
662 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
663 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
665 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
667 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
668 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
669 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
670 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
671 couldn't correctly identify them.
673 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
675 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
676 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
677 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
678 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
679 not depending on an external archive.
681 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
682 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
683 mts/generic is no longer built.
685 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
687 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
688 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
689 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
690 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
691 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
692 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
693 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
694 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
696 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
699 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
702 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
704 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
705 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
706 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
709 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
710 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
711 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
712 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
714 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
715 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
716 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
717 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
718 merged into the smtp code).
720 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
721 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
722 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
725 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
726 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
727 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
728 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
729 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
730 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
731 in the appropriate Makefile.in
733 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
735 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
736 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
737 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
738 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
739 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
740 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
741 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
742 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
743 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
744 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
745 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
747 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
749 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
750 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
751 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
752 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
753 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
754 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
755 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
756 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
757 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
759 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
761 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
762 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
765 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
767 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
768 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
770 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
772 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
773 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
774 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
775 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
777 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
779 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
780 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
781 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
782 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
783 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
785 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
786 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
788 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
790 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
792 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
793 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
794 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
795 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
797 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
798 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
799 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
800 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
802 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
803 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
804 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
805 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
807 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
808 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
809 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
811 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
813 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
814 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
815 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
816 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
817 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
818 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
821 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
822 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
824 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
825 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
827 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
829 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
831 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
833 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
834 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
835 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
836 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
838 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
840 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
841 be easily changed from "," to "#".
843 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
845 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
847 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
848 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
851 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
854 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
855 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
856 but not for the subsequent data stream.
858 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
860 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
861 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
862 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
863 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
864 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
866 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
868 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
869 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
871 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
872 cat, also define lorder as echo.
874 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
876 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
878 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
879 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
880 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
882 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
884 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
887 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
888 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
890 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
892 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
893 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
895 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
897 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
898 inc does not need to be setgid.
900 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
902 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
903 library, as found on Debian systems.
905 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
907 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
909 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
910 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
911 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
912 case-insensitivity flag.
914 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
916 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
917 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
919 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
921 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
922 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
923 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
924 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
925 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
926 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
927 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
928 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
929 getting moved aside).
931 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
932 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
934 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
936 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
937 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
938 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
939 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
940 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
941 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
942 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
943 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
944 the prototype, but never sets it.
946 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
947 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
948 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
949 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
950 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
951 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
953 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
954 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
955 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
956 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
957 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
959 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
961 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
962 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
965 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
966 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
967 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
968 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
969 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
970 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
971 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
973 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
975 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
977 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
978 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
979 this works on other systems.
981 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
983 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
984 checks for write failures.
986 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
988 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
990 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
993 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
995 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
997 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
999 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1000 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1003 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1005 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1006 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1007 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1008 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1010 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1012 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1013 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1016 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1017 as well as Makefiles.
1019 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1021 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1022 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1023 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1024 should make maintainability easier.
1026 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1027 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1028 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1029 whatever you know works.
1031 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1033 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1034 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1035 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1037 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1038 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1039 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1040 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1042 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1043 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1044 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1046 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1047 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1048 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1049 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1050 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1052 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1053 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1054 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1055 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1056 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1057 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1058 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1059 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1060 from the BSD version.
1062 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1063 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1064 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1066 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1067 in ruserpass.c also.
1069 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1072 This happens on solaris:
1075 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1076 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1080 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1082 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1083 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1085 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1087 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1088 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1089 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1090 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1091 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1092 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1093 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1094 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1095 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1096 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1097 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1099 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1100 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1101 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1102 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1103 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1104 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1107 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1108 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1109 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1110 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1111 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1113 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1114 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1116 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1118 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1119 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1120 to stdin, such as exmh.
1122 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1123 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1124 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1127 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1129 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1130 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1131 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1132 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1133 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1134 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1135 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1137 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1139 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1140 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1142 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1144 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1145 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1147 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1149 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1152 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1153 along with any -host or -user option.
1155 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1157 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1159 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1160 process was fresh in my mind.
1162 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1164 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1165 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1167 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1169 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1171 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1174 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1175 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1176 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1177 part of the program's name.
1179 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1180 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1183 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1185 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1186 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1187 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1188 single-character format would cause programs using this
1189 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1190 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1191 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1192 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1195 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1197 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1198 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1199 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1200 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1201 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1202 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1204 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1205 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1206 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1207 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1208 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1209 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1210 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1211 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1213 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1214 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1215 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1216 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1217 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1218 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1219 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1220 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1221 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1222 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1224 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1226 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1227 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1229 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1230 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1232 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1237 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1239 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1240 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1241 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1242 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1244 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1245 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1246 problem in the routine.
1248 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1250 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1251 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1253 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1254 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1255 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1258 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1261 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1262 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1263 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1264 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1265 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1266 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1267 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1268 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1269 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1271 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1273 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1274 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1275 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1276 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1277 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1278 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1279 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1280 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1281 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1282 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1283 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1284 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1286 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1287 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1288 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1289 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1290 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1292 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1295 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1297 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1298 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1299 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1300 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1303 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1305 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1307 * Applied, after some finessing,
1308 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1310 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1312 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1314 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1315 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1316 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1317 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1319 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1321 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1322 forgetting to do so!).
1324 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1325 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1326 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1327 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1328 arguments to enable all three types.
1330 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1331 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1333 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1334 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1335 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1336 updated copy of mts.conf.
1338 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1340 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1341 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1342 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1344 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1346 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1348 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1349 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1350 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1352 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1353 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1354 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1356 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1357 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1358 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1360 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1362 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1364 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1366 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1368 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1369 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1371 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1372 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1373 certain suffix to run properly.
1375 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1376 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1377 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1379 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1380 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1381 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1382 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1383 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1384 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1385 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1387 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1389 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1390 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1391 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1392 until some year far in the future).
1394 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1396 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1398 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1399 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1401 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1402 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1405 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1407 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1408 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1409 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1410 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1411 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1412 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1414 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1416 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1418 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1419 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1420 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1422 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1423 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1424 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1425 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1426 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1427 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1430 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1431 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1432 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1433 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1434 of masquerading individually.
1436 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1437 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1438 GECOS field delimiters.
1440 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1442 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1443 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1444 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1445 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1446 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1447 and explaining the feature.
1449 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1451 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1452 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1455 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1456 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1457 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1459 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1460 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1461 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1462 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1464 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1465 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1466 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1469 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1471 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1472 code to be executed.
1474 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1476 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1478 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1479 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1480 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1481 quotes embedded in them.
1483 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1485 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1486 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1487 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1488 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1489 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1490 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1491 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1494 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1495 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1496 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1497 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1498 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1500 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1502 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1504 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1505 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1506 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1507 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1509 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1512 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1514 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1516 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1518 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1519 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1520 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1522 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1525 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1527 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1528 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1529 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1530 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1531 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1532 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1534 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1535 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1537 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1542 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1544 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1545 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1546 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1549 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1550 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1551 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1552 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1553 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1554 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1555 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1556 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1557 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1558 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1559 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1560 processing that post has).
1562 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1564 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1565 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1566 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1567 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1568 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1569 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1572 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1574 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1576 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1578 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1580 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1581 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1583 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1586 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1588 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1589 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1590 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1593 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1595 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1596 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1597 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1598 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1599 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1600 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1602 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1604 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1606 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1608 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1609 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1610 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1611 caught again. This works for now.
1613 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1615 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1617 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1618 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1620 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1622 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1623 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1625 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1627 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1629 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1631 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1632 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1634 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1636 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1637 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1638 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1639 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1640 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1643 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1645 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1646 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1647 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1649 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1650 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1653 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1655 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1656 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1657 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1659 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1661 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1662 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1664 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1666 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1669 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1670 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1672 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1673 macros, regardless of platform.
1675 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1676 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1678 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1679 with x-conversions=gzip.
1681 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1683 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1686 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1687 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1688 implicit definition of ioctl().
1690 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1691 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1692 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1693 want to mess with them.
1695 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1697 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1698 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1700 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1701 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1703 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1704 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1705 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1707 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1708 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1709 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1711 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1712 function initgroups.
1714 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1717 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1718 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1721 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1722 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1725 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1726 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1730 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1732 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1733 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1734 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1736 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1737 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1739 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1741 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1743 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1744 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1745 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1746 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1748 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1749 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1751 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1753 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1755 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1757 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1758 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1760 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1762 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1763 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1765 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1766 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1767 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1768 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1770 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1771 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1773 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1775 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1776 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1778 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1780 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1781 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1784 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1786 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1788 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1790 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1791 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1793 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1794 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1795 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1797 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1798 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1799 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1801 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1802 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1803 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1805 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1806 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1809 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1810 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1812 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1813 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1815 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1816 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1818 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1819 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1820 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1822 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1823 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1825 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1826 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1827 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1829 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1830 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1833 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1834 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1836 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1837 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1838 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1839 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1841 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1842 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1844 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1848 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1849 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1850 would not be changed.
1852 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1853 one from the Apache web server.
1855 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1856 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1858 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1859 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1860 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1862 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1864 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1866 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1867 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1870 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1871 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1872 removes a bad race condition.
1874 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1877 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1878 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1879 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1881 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1882 sequence information.
1884 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1885 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1887 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1890 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1893 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1895 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1896 interpret 034 as octal.
1898 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1900 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1901 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1903 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1904 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1906 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1907 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1909 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1910 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1912 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1913 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1915 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1916 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1917 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1919 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1920 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1921 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1923 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1925 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1927 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1928 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1931 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1933 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1934 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1936 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1937 header field information.
1939 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1940 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1942 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1943 values when parsing a content.
1945 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1946 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1948 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1949 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1951 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1952 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1954 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1955 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1957 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1959 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1961 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1963 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1965 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1966 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1969 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1970 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1972 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1973 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1974 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1975 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1976 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1977 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1980 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1982 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1983 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1984 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1986 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1987 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1989 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1991 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1992 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1993 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1994 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1996 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1997 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2000 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2001 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2002 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2003 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2006 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2008 * Released nmh-0.27.
2010 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2011 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2013 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2014 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2015 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2016 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2019 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2020 mhbuild returns an error.
2022 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2023 rename the draft file.
2025 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2026 use a global variable.
2028 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2029 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2031 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2032 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2034 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2035 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2036 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2038 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2039 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2041 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2042 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2045 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2046 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2049 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2050 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2052 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2053 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2054 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2056 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2057 to new function output_content_folder.
2059 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2060 new function output_content_file.
2062 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2063 to new function parse_format_string.
2065 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2066 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2067 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2068 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2070 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2071 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2072 message/external file from ftp.
2074 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2075 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2076 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2078 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2079 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2082 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2085 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2086 new file mhstoresbr.c
2088 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2091 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2092 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2094 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2095 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2097 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2098 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2099 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2101 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2103 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2105 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2106 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2109 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2110 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2112 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2115 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2117 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2119 * Released nmh-0.26.
2121 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2122 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2123 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2124 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2126 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2127 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2128 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2129 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2130 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2132 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2133 But it is not on by default.
2135 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2136 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2138 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2140 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2142 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2144 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2146 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2147 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2149 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2151 * Released nmh-0.25.
2153 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2154 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2155 uses the original name of the library.
2157 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2158 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2161 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2162 list_content and list_debug.
2164 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2166 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2167 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2169 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2171 * Released nmh-0.24.
2173 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2175 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2176 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2178 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2179 large sequence line.

2183 * Released nmh-0.23.
2185 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2187 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2188 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2189 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2190 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2192 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2193 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2196 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2198 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2200 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2202 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2203 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2205 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2206 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2208 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2209 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2211 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)

2214 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2216 * Released nmh-0.22.
2218 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2219 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2221 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2223 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2224 mh-profile(5) man page.
2226 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to

2229 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2231 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2233 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2234 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2236 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2238 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2239 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2240 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2242 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2243 source message on the standard input.
2245 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2247 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2248 rather than -rfc934mode.
2250 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2251 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2254 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2255 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2257 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2260 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2262 * Released nmh-0.21.
2264 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2265 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2267 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2270 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2271 to use for text contents.
2273 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2275 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2277 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2279 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2281 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2282 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2284 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2285 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2286 spaces between encoded word are.
2288 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2290 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2291 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2293 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2294 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2295 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2297 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2299 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2300 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2302 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2304 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2306 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2307 ISO-8859-X character set.
2309 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2312 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2313 permissions, not write permissions.
2315 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2316 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2318 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2321 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2323 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2325 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2326 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2328 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2329 message contains valid character set.
2331 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2332 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2334 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2335 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2337 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2338 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2339 between an encoded word and normal text.
2341 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2342 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2344 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2345 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2347 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2350 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2351 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2354 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2355 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2357 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2358 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2360 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2362 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2364 * Released nmh-0.20.
2366 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2368 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2370 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2371 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2372 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2374 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2375 and the To: line was missing.
2377 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2379 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2381 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2383 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2384 watch the POP transaction.
2386 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2387 first, and use it if available.
2389 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2390 first, and use it if available.
2392 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2394 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2396 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2397 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2398 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2401 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2402 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2403 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2405 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2406 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2409 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2411 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2412 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2414 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2416 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2417 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2419 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2420 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2421 message to which you are replying.
2423 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2424 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2425 making group replies.
2427 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2429 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2431 * Released nmh-0.19.
2433 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2434 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2436 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2437 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2438 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2439 to the end of the man page.
2441 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2442 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2443 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2444 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2445 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2446 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2448 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2451 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2452 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2453 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2455 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2456 the next available number above the message number you wish
2459 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2460 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2462 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2463 file sbr/seq_print.c
2465 * flist will now update the current folder.
2467 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2468 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2469 but now undocumented.
2471 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2474 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2475 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2477 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2479 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2480 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2482 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2484 * Released nmh-0.18.
2486 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2487 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2488 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2490 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2491 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2493 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2494 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2495 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2496 previous public/private status.
2498 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2501 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2504 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2505 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2506 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2508 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2509 take option to determine whether it should get current
2510 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2511 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2513 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2515 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2516 wait for stopped processes.
2518 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2519 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2521 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2523 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2525 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2526 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2528 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2529 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2531 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2532 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2533 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2534 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2536 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2539 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2542 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2544 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2545 the debugging output.
2547 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2548 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2550 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2552 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2554 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2555 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2557 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2559 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2560 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2561 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2562 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2563 in the given sequence.
2565 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2566 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2567 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2568 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2569 subdirectories of a given directory.
2571 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2572 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2573 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2575 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2576 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2578 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2580 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2583 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2584 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2585 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2587 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2588 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2589 are calculated at runtime.
2591 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2593 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2595 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2596 about checking for global mh.profile.
2598 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2599 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2600 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2601 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2602 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2603 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2605 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2606 adding message to folder itself.
2608 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2609 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2610 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2613 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2614 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2617 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2618 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2619 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2621 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2622 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2624 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2625 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2626 code to use it yet).
2628 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2630 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2632 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2633 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2635 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2636 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2638 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2640 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2643 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2645 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2647 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2649 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2651 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2652 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2654 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2656 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2658 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2660 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2662 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2664 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2665 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2667 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2668 configuration files.
2670 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2672 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2674 * Released nmh-0.17.
2676 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2678 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2679 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2681 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2684 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2685 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2687 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2688 number of refiled message.
2690 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2692 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2693 for return value of wait().
2695 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2697 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2699 * Released nmh-0.16.
2701 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2705 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2706 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2707 deal with binary messages, yet).
2709 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2711 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2713 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2714 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2715 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2716 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2717 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2718 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2720 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2721 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2723 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2724 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2726 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2727 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2730 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2732 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2734 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2735 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2738 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2741 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2743 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2744 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2745 which used unsigned chars by default.
2747 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2749 * Released nmh-0.15.
2751 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2752 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2754 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2756 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2758 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2761 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2762 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2763 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2765 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2766 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2768 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2770 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2771 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2773 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2774 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2775 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2776 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2778 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2779 and put in own subroutine.
2781 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2782 and put in own subroutine.
2784 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2785 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2786 refile.c to use new routine.
2788 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2790 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2792 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2795 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2796 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2797 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2799 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2802 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2803 adding message to sequence.
2805 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2806 corresponding file in sbr.
2808 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2811 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2813 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2814 all selected messages from a sequence.
2816 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2817 selected messages to a sequence.
2819 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2822 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2913 will suppress the display of the message header.
2915 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2917 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2934 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2936 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2937 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2939 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

3002 * Released nmh-0.08.
3004 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3005 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

3016 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3017 rather than mmdf format.
3019 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3020 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3021 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3022 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3024 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3026 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3028 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3031 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3032 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3033 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3035 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3036 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3037 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3039 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3041 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3042 can still easily change this in config.h).
3044 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3045 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3046 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3048 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3050 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3065 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3067 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3068 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3071 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3072 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3085 * Released nmh-0.06.
3087 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3088 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3090 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3091 many such machines around anymore.
3093 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3094 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3096 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3097 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3099 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3101 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3102 pre-generated version if necessary.
3104 * Released nmh-0.05.
3106 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3107 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3108 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3109 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3111 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3112 be linked in one pass.
3114 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3116 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3117 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3119 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3121 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3123 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3125 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3126 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3127 become the current folder.
3129 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3131 * Released nmh-0.04.

3136 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3138 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3139 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3140 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3142 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3144 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3145 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3147 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3149 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3150 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3153 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3154 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3156 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3158 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3159 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3160 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3161 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3162 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3163 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3165 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3167 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3168 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3170 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3171 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3173 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3175 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3176 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3178 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3180 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3181 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3182 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3184 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3186 * Released nmh-0.03.
3188 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3189 .mh_sequence file existed.
3191 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3192 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3194 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3195 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3198 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3200 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3203 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3205 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3206 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3207 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3209 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3211 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3212 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3213 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3215 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3217 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3218 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3220 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3222 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3224 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3225 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3226 directory from where the source code is located.
3228 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3230 * Released nmh-0.02.

3244 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3246 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3248 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3251 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3252 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3253 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3254 rather than in script.
3256 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3258 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3260 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3261 macro defined on Solaris.

3265 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3266 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3268 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3269 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3270 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3271 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3274 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3276 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3277 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3279 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3282 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3286 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3287 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3289 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3291 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3292 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3294 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3296 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3297 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3298 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3299 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3300 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3301 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3303 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3307 * Released nmh-0.01.
3309 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3310 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3311 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3314 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3316 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3319 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3321 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3322 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3324 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3326 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3327 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3328 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3329 script to find_program.
3331 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3333 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3334 speed up -recurse option.
3336 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3337 yet, but it compiles :-)
3339 * Changed default location for install to
3340 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3341 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3342 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3345 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3346 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3347 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
