3 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
4 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
5 contitional code which will result in cached data to
6 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
7 and parse on the first use.
8 * Remove some unused flag bits.
10 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
12 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
13 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
15 #578 - repl leaks umask
16 #1393 - sortm core dumps
17 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
18 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
19 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
21 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
22 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
24 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
26 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
27 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
29 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
31 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
32 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
35 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
37 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
39 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
40 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
41 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
42 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
45 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
47 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
48 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
49 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
50 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
51 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
52 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
55 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
56 summary configure prints out.
58 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
59 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
60 subjectively more readable) format.
62 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
64 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
67 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
69 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
70 19xx when it's not necessary.
72 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
74 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
75 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
78 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
79 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
80 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
81 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
82 the man pages correctly.
84 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
86 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
88 * Finished manpages ali-prev
90 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
91 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
92 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
95 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
96 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
97 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
98 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
100 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
102 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
103 the formatting rules I've been using.
107 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
109 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
110 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
111 used in the manpages.
113 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
114 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
115 read in the contents of the file as the variable
118 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
119 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
120 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
121 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
122 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
123 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
124 bold flags and italicized parameters.
126 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
128 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
129 --with-locking option.
131 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
132 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
133 information was not being communicated to the
134 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
135 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
136 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
137 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
138 undefined symbols problems.
140 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
141 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
142 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
143 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
144 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
145 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
146 for a genuine krb4 installation.
148 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
150 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
151 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
153 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
155 * Made a new ./configure option called
156 "--with-locking" that allows the file
157 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
158 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
160 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
161 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
162 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
163 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
164 the user that these are the valid options, and
165 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
168 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
170 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
171 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
172 committed to supporting flex only, since
173 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
174 string, as well as other problems documented
175 below and on nmh-workers.
177 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
178 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
179 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
182 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
183 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
185 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
187 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
188 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
189 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
191 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
193 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
194 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
196 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
198 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
199 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
200 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
201 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
202 couldn't correctly identify them.
204 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
206 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
207 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
208 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
209 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
210 not depending on an external archive.
212 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
213 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
214 mts/generic is no longer built.
216 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
218 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
219 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
220 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
221 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
222 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
223 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
224 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
225 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
227 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
229 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
230 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
233 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
235 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
236 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
237 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
240 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
241 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
242 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
243 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
245 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
246 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
247 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
248 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
249 merged into the smtp code).
251 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
252 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
253 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
256 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
257 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
258 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
259 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
260 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
261 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
262 in the appropriate Makefile.in
264 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
266 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
267 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
268 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
269 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
270 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
271 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
272 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
273 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
274 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
275 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
276 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
278 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
280 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
281 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
282 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
283 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
284 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
285 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
286 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
287 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
288 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
290 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
292 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
293 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
296 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
298 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
299 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
301 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
303 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
304 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
305 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
306 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
308 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
310 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
311 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
312 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
313 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
314 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
316 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
317 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
319 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
321 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
323 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
324 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
325 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
326 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
328 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
329 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
330 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
331 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
333 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
334 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
335 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
336 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
338 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
339 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
340 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
342 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
344 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
345 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
346 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
347 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
348 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
349 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
352 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
353 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
355 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
356 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
358 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
360 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
362 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
364 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
365 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
366 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
367 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
369 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
371 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
372 be easily changed from "," to "#".
374 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
376 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
378 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
379 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
382 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
384 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
385 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
386 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
387 but not for the subsequent data stream.
389 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
391 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
392 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
393 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
394 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
395 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
397 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
399 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
400 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
402 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
403 cat, also define lorder as echo.
405 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
407 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
409 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
410 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
411 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
413 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
415 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
418 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
419 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
421 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
423 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
424 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
426 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
428 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
429 inc does not need to be setgid.
431 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
433 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
434 library, as found on Debian systems.
436 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
438 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
440 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
441 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
442 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
443 case-insensitivity flag.
445 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
447 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
448 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
450 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
452 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
453 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
454 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
455 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
456 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
457 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
458 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
459 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
460 getting moved aside).
462 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
463 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
465 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
467 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
468 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
469 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
470 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
471 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
472 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
473 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
474 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
475 the prototype, but never sets it.
477 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
478 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
479 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
480 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
481 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
482 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
484 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
485 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
486 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
487 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
488 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
490 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
492 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
493 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
496 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
497 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
498 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
499 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
500 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
501 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
502 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
504 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
506 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
508 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
509 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
510 this works on other systems.
512 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
514 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
515 checks for write failures.
517 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
519 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
521 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
524 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
526 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
528 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
530 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
531 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
534 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
536 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
537 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
538 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
539 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
541 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
543 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
544 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
547 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
548 as well as Makefiles.
550 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
552 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
553 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
554 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
555 should make maintainability easier.
557 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
558 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
559 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
560 whatever you know works.
562 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
564 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
565 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
566 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
568 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
569 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
570 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
571 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
573 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
574 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
575 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
577 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
578 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
579 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
580 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
581 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
583 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
584 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
585 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
586 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
587 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
588 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
589 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
590 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
591 from the BSD version.
593 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
594 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
595 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
597 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
600 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
603 This happens on solaris:
606 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
607 No manual entry for mts.conf.
611 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
613 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
614 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
616 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
618 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
619 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
620 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
621 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
622 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
623 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
624 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
625 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
626 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
627 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
628 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
630 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
631 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
632 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
633 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
634 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
635 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
638 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
639 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
640 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
641 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
642 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
644 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
645 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
647 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
649 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
650 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
651 to stdin, such as exmh.
653 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
654 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
655 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
658 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
660 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
661 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
662 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
663 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
664 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
665 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
666 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
668 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
670 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
671 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
673 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
675 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
676 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
678 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
680 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
683 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
684 along with any -host or -user option.
686 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
688 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
690 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
691 process was fresh in my mind.
693 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
695 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
696 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
698 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
700 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
702 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
705 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
706 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
707 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
708 part of the program's name.
710 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
711 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
714 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
716 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
717 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
718 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
719 single-character format would cause programs using this
720 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
721 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
722 when the format string was one character. This eventually
723 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
726 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
728 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
729 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
730 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
731 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
732 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
733 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
735 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
736 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
737 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
738 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
739 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
740 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
741 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
742 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
744 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
745 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
746 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
747 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
748 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
749 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
750 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
751 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
752 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
753 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
755 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
757 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
758 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
760 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
761 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
763 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
768 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
770 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
771 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
772 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
773 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
775 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
776 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
777 problem in the routine.
779 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
781 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
782 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
784 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
785 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
786 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
789 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
791 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
792 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
793 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
794 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
795 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
796 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
797 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
798 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
799 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
800 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
802 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
804 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
805 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
806 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
807 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
808 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
809 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
810 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
811 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
812 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
813 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
814 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
815 interesting than a duplication of the default.
817 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
818 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
819 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
820 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
821 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
823 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
826 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
828 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
829 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
830 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
831 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
834 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
836 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
838 * Applied, after some finessing,
839 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
841 Here's a patch that allows you to add
843 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
845 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
846 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
847 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
848 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
850 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
852 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
853 forgetting to do so!).
855 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
856 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
857 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
858 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
859 arguments to enable all three types.
861 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
862 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
864 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
865 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
866 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
867 updated copy of mts.conf.
869 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
871 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
872 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
873 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
875 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
877 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
879 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
880 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
881 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
883 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
884 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
885 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
887 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
888 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
889 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
891 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
893 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
895 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
897 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
899 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
900 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
902 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
903 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
904 certain suffix to run properly.
906 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
907 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
908 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
910 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
911 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
912 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
913 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
914 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
915 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
916 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
918 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
920 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
921 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
922 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
923 until some year far in the future).
925 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
927 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
929 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
930 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
932 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
933 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
936 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
938 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
939 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
940 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
941 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
942 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
943 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
945 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
947 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
949 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
950 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
951 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
953 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
954 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
955 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
956 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
957 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
958 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
961 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
962 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
963 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
964 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
965 of masquerading individually.
967 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
968 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
969 GECOS field delimiters.
971 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
974 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
975 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
976 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
977 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
978 and explaining the feature.
980 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
982 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
983 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
986 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
987 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
988 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
990 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
991 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
992 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
993 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
995 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
996 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
997 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1000 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1002 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1003 code to be executed.
1005 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1007 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1009 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1010 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1011 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1012 quotes embedded in them.
1014 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1016 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1017 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1018 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1019 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1020 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1021 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1022 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1025 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1026 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1027 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1028 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1029 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1031 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1033 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1035 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1036 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1037 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1038 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1040 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1043 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1045 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1047 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1049 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1050 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1051 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1053 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1056 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1058 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1059 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1060 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1061 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1062 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1063 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1065 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1066 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1068 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1070 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1073 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1075 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1076 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1077 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1080 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1081 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1082 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1083 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1084 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1085 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1086 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1087 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1088 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1089 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1090 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1091 processing that post has).
1093 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1095 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1096 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1097 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1098 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1099 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1100 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1103 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1105 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1107 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1109 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1111 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1112 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1114 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1117 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1119 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1120 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1121 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1124 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1126 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1127 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1128 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1129 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1130 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1131 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1133 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1135 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1137 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1139 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1140 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1141 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1142 caught again. This works for now.
1144 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1146 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1148 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1149 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1151 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1153 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1154 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1156 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1158 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1160 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1162 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1163 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1165 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1167 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1168 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1169 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1170 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1171 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1174 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1176 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1177 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1178 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1180 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1181 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1184 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1186 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1187 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1188 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1190 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1192 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1193 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1195 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1197 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1200 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1201 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1203 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1204 macros, regardless of platform.
1206 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1207 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1209 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1210 with x-conversions=gzip.
1212 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1214 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1217 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1218 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1219 implicit definition of ioctl().
1221 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1222 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1223 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1224 want to mess with them.
1226 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1228 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1229 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1231 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1232 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1234 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1235 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1236 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1238 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1239 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1240 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1242 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1243 function initgroups.
1245 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1248 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1249 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1252 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1253 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1256 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1257 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1261 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1263 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1264 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1265 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1267 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1268 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1270 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1272 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1274 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1275 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1276 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1277 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1279 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1280 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1282 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1286 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1288 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1289 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1291 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1293 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1294 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1296 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1297 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1298 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1299 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1301 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1302 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1304 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1306 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1307 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1309 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1311 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1312 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1315 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1317 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1319 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1321 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1322 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1324 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1325 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1326 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1328 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1329 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1330 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1332 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1333 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1334 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1336 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1337 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1340 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1341 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1343 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1344 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1346 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1347 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1349 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1350 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1351 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1353 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1354 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1356 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1357 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1358 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1360 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1361 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1364 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1365 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1367 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1368 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1369 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1370 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1372 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1373 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1375 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1379 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1380 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1381 would not be changed.
1383 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1384 one from the Apache web server.
1386 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1387 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1389 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1390 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1391 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1393 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1395 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1397 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1398 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1401 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1402 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1403 removes a bad race condition.
1405 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1408 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1409 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1410 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1412 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1413 sequence information.
1415 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1416 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1418 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1421 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1424 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1426 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1427 interpret 034 as octal.
1429 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1431 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1432 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1434 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1435 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1437 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1438 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1440 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1441 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1443 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1444 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1446 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1447 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1448 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1450 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1451 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1452 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1454 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1456 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1458 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1459 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1462 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1464 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1465 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1467 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1468 header field information.
1470 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1471 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1473 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1474 values when parsing a content.
1476 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1477 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1479 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1480 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1482 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1483 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1485 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1486 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1488 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1490 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1492 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1494 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1496 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1497 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1500 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1501 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1503 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1504 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1505 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1506 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1507 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1508 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1511 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1513 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1514 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1515 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1517 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1518 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1520 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1522 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1523 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1524 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1525 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1527 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1528 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1531 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1532 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1533 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1534 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1537 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1539 * Released nmh-0.27.
1541 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1542 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1544 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1545 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1546 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1547 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1550 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1551 mhbuild returns an error.
1553 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1554 rename the draft file.
1556 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1557 use a global variable.
1559 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1560 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1562 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1563 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1565 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1566 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1567 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1569 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1570 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1572 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1573 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1576 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1577 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1580 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1581 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1583 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1584 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1585 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1587 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1588 to new function output_content_folder.
1590 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1591 new function output_content_file.
1593 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1594 to new function parse_format_string.
1596 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1597 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1598 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1599 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1601 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1602 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1603 message/external file from ftp.
1605 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1606 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1607 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1609 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1610 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1613 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1616 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1617 new file mhstoresbr.c
1619 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1622 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1623 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1625 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1626 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1628 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1629 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1630 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1632 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1634 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1636 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1637 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1640 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1641 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1643 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1646 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1648 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1650 * Released nmh-0.26.
1652 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1653 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1654 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1655 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1657 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1658 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1659 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1660 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1661 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1663 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1664 But it is not on by default.
1666 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1667 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1669 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1671 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1673 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1675 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1677 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1678 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1680 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1682 * Released nmh-0.25.
1684 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1685 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1686 uses the original name of the library.
1688 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1689 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1692 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1693 list_content and list_debug.
1695 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1697 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1698 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1700 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1702 * Released nmh-0.24.
1704 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1706 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1707 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1709 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1710 large sequence line.
1712 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1714 * Released nmh-0.23.
1716 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1718 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1719 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1720 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1721 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1723 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1724 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1727 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1729 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1731 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1733 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1734 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1736 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1737 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1739 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1740 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1742 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1743 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1745 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747 * Released nmh-0.22.
1749 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1750 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1752 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1754 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1755 mh-profile(5) man page.
1757 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1758 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1760 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1762 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1764 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1765 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1767 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1769 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1770 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1771 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1773 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1774 source message on the standard input.
1776 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1778 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1779 rather than -rfc934mode.
1781 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1782 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1785 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1786 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1788 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1791 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1793 * Released nmh-0.21.
1795 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1796 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1798 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1801 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1802 to use for text contents.
1804 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1806 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1808 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1810 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1812 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1813 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1815 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1816 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1817 spaces between encoded word are.
1819 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1821 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1822 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1824 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1825 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1826 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1828 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1830 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1831 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1833 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1835 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1837 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1838 ISO-8859-X character set.
1840 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1843 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1844 permissions, not write permissions.
1846 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1847 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1849 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1852 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1854 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1856 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1857 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1859 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1860 message contains valid character set.
1862 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1863 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1865 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1866 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1868 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1869 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1870 between an encoded word and normal text.
1872 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1873 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1875 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1876 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1878 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1881 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1882 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1885 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1886 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1888 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1889 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1891 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1893 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1895 * Released nmh-0.20.
1897 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1899 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1901 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1902 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1903 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1905 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1906 and the To: line was missing.
1908 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1910 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1912 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1914 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1915 watch the POP transaction.
1917 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1918 first, and use it if available.
1920 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1921 first, and use it if available.
1923 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1925 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1927 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1928 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1929 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1932 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1933 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1934 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1936 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1937 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1940 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1942 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1943 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1945 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1947 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1948 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1950 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1951 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1952 message to which you are replying.
1954 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1955 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1956 making group replies.
1958 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1960 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1962 * Released nmh-0.19.
1964 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1965 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1967 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1968 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1969 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1970 to the end of the man page.
1972 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1973 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1974 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1975 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1976 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1977 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1979 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1982 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1983 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1984 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1986 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1987 the next available number above the message number you wish
1990 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1991 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1993 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1994 file sbr/seq_print.c
1996 * flist will now update the current folder.
1998 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1999 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2000 but now undocumented.
2002 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2005 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2006 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2008 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2010 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2011 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2013 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2015 * Released nmh-0.18.
2017 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2018 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2019 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2021 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2022 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2024 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2025 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2026 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2027 previous public/private status.
2029 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2032 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2035 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2036 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2037 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2039 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2040 take option to determine whether it should get current
2041 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2042 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2044 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2046 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2047 wait for stopped processes.
2049 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2050 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2052 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2054 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2056 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2057 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2059 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2060 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2062 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2063 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2064 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2065 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2067 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2070 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2073 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2075 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2076 the debugging output.
2078 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2079 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2081 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2083 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2085 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2086 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2088 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2090 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2091 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2092 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2093 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2094 in the given sequence.
2096 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2097 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2098 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2099 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2100 subdirectories of a given directory.
2102 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2103 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2104 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2106 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2107 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2109 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2111 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2114 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2115 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2116 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2118 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2119 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2120 are calculated at runtime.
2122 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2124 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2126 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2127 about checking for global mh.profile.
2129 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2130 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2131 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2132 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2133 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2134 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2136 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2137 adding message to folder itself.
2139 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2140 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2141 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2144 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2145 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2148 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2149 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2150 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2152 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2153 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2155 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2156 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2157 code to use it yet).
2159 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2161 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2163 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2164 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2166 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2167 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2169 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2171 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2174 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2176 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2178 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2180 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2182 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2183 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2185 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2187 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2189 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2191 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2193 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2195 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2196 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2198 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2199 configuration files.
2201 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2203 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2205 * Released nmh-0.17.
2207 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2209 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2210 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2212 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2215 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2216 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2218 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2219 number of refiled message.
2221 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2223 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2224 for return value of wait().
2226 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2228 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2230 * Released nmh-0.16.
2232 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2234 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2236 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2237 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2238 deal with binary messages, yet).
2240 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2242 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2244 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2245 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2246 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2247 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2248 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2249 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2251 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2252 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2254 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2255 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2257 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2258 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2261 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2263 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2265 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2266 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2269 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2272 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2274 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2275 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2276 which used unsigned chars by default.
2278 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2280 * Released nmh-0.15.
2282 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2283 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2285 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2287 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2289 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2292 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2293 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2294 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2296 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2297 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2299 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2301 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2302 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2304 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2305 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2306 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2307 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2309 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2310 and put in own subroutine.
2312 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2313 and put in own subroutine.

2316 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2317 refile.c to use new routine.

2321 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2323 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use

2327 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2328 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2330 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2333 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2348 selected messages to a sequence.
2350 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2353 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2356 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2358 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2399 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2400 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2401 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2402 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2405 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2406 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2408 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2410 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2411 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2413 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2415 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2444 will suppress the display of the message header.
2446 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2448 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2449 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.

2458 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2460 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2461 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2463 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2465 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2467 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2468 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2470 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2471 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2473 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2475 * Released nmh-0.10.

2485 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2487 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2488 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2490 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2495 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2496 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2498 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2530 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2531 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2533 * Released nmh-0.08.
2535 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2536 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2537 locking database itself.

2541 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2543 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2544 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2547 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2548 rather than mmdf format.
2550 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2551 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2552 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2553 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2555 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2557 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2559 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2562 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2563 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2564 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2566 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2567 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2568 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2570 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2572 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2573 can still easily change this in config.h).
2575 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2576 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2577 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2579 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2581 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2595 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2596 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2598 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2599 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2602 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2603 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2616 * Released nmh-0.06.
2618 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2619 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2621 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2622 many such machines around anymore.
2624 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2625 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2627 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2628 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2630 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2632 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2633 pre-generated version if necessary.
2635 * Released nmh-0.05.
2637 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2638 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2639 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2640 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2642 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2643 be linked in one pass.
2645 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2647 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2648 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2650 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2652 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2654 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2656 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2657 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2658 become the current folder.
2660 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662 * Released nmh-0.04.
2664 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2667 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2669 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2670 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2671 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2673 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2676 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2678 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2681 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2684 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2685 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2687 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2689 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2690 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2691 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2692 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2693 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2694 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2696 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2699 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2701 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2702 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2704 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2707 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2709 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2712 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2713 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2715 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Released nmh-0.03.
2719 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2720 .mh_sequence file existed.
2722 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2723 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2725 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2726 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2729 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2731 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2734 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2736 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2737 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2738 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2740 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2743 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2744 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2746 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2749 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2751 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2753 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2755 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2756 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2757 directory from where the source code is located.
2759 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2761 * Released nmh-0.02.

2771 and sys_nerr directly.
2773 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2775 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2777 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2779 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2781 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2782 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2783 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2784 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2785 rather than in script.
2787 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2789 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2791 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2792 macro defined on Solaris.
2794 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2796 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2797 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2799 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2800 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2801 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2802 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2805 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2807 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2808 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2810 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2813 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2815 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2817 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2818 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2820 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2823 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2825 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2827 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2828 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2829 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2830 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2831 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2832 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2834 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2836 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2838 * Released nmh-0.01.
2840 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2841 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2842 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2845 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2847 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2850 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2852 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2853 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2855 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2858 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2859 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2860 script to find_program.
2862 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2864 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2865 speed up -recurse option.
2867 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2868 yet, but it compiles :-)
2870 * Changed default location for install to
2871 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2872 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2873 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
