3 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
4 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
5 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
6 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
7 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
9 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
10 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
12 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
14 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
16 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
17 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
18 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
19 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
21 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
22 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
23 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
24 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
26 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
27 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
28 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
29 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
31 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
32 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
33 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
35 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
37 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
38 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
39 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
40 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
41 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
42 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
45 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
46 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
48 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
49 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
51 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
53 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
55 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
57 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
58 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
59 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
60 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
62 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
64 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
65 be easily changed from "," to "#".
67 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
69 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
71 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
72 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
75 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
77 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
78 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
79 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
80 but not for the subsequent data stream.
82 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
84 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
85 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
86 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
87 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
88 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
90 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
92 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
93 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
95 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
96 cat, also define lorder as echo.
98 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
100 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
102 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
103 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
104 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
106 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
108 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
111 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
112 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
114 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
116 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
117 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
119 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
121 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
122 inc does not need to be setgid.
124 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
126 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
127 library, as found on Debian systems.
129 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
131 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
133 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
134 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
135 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
136 case-insensitivity flag.
138 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
140 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
141 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
143 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
145 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
146 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
147 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
148 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
149 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
150 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
151 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
152 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
153 getting moved aside).
155 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
156 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
158 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
160 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
161 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
162 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
163 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
164 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
165 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
166 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
167 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
168 the prototype, but never sets it.
170 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
171 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
172 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
173 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
174 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
175 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
177 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
178 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
179 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
180 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
181 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
183 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
185 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
186 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
189 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
190 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
191 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
192 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
193 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
194 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
195 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
197 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
199 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
201 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
202 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
203 this works on other systems.
205 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
207 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
208 checks for write failures.
210 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
212 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
214 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
217 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
219 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
221 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
223 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
224 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
227 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
229 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
230 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
231 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
232 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
234 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
236 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
237 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
240 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
241 as well as Makefiles.
243 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
245 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
246 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
247 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
248 should make maintainability easier.
250 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
251 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
252 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
253 whatever you know works.
255 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
257 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
258 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
259 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
261 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
262 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
263 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
264 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
266 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
267 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
268 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
270 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
271 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
272 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
273 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
274 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
276 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
277 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
278 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
279 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
280 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
281 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
282 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
283 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
284 from the BSD version.
286 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
287 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
288 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
290 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
293 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
296 This happens on solaris:
299 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
300 No manual entry for mts.conf.
304 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
306 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
307 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
309 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
311 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
312 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
313 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
314 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
315 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
316 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
317 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
318 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
319 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
320 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
321 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
323 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
324 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
325 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
326 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
327 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
328 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
331 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
332 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
333 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
334 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
335 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
337 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
338 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
340 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
342 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
343 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
344 to stdin, such as exmh.
346 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
347 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
348 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
351 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
353 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
354 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
355 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
356 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
357 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
358 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
359 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
361 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
363 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
364 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
366 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
368 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
369 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
371 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
373 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
376 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
377 along with any -host or -user option.
379 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
381 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
383 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
384 process was fresh in my mind.
386 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
388 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
389 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
391 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
393 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
395 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
398 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
399 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
400 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
401 part of the program's name.
403 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
404 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
407 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
409 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
410 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
411 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
412 single-character format would cause programs using this
413 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
414 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
415 when the format string was one character. This eventually
416 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
419 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
421 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
422 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
423 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
424 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
425 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
426 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
428 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
429 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
430 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
431 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
432 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
433 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
434 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
435 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
437 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
438 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
439 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
440 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
441 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
442 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
443 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
444 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
445 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
446 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
448 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
450 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
451 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
453 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
454 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
456 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
461 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
463 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
464 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
465 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
466 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
468 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
469 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
470 problem in the routine.
472 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
474 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
475 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
477 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
478 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
479 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
482 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
484 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
485 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
486 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
487 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
488 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
489 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
490 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
491 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
492 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
493 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
495 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
497 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
498 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
499 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
500 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
501 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
502 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
503 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
504 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
505 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
506 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
507 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
508 interesting than a duplication of the default.
510 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
511 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
512 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
513 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
514 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
516 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
519 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
521 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
522 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
523 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best

529 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
531 * Applied, after some finessing,
532 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
534 Here's a patch that allows you to add
536 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
538 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
539 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
540 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
541 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
543 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
545 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
546 forgetting to do so!).
548 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
549 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
550 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
551 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
552 arguments to enable all three types.
554 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
555 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
557 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
558 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
559 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
560 updated copy of mts.conf.
562 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
564 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
565 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
566 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
568 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
570 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
572 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
573 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
574 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
576 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
577 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
578 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
580 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
581 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
582 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
584 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
586 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
588 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
590 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
592 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
593 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
595 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
596 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
597 certain suffix to run properly.
599 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
600 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
601 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
603 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
604 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
605 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
606 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
607 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
608 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
609 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
611 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
613 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
614 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
615 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
616 until some year far in the future).
618 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
620 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
622 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
623 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
625 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
626 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
629 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
631 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
632 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
633 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
634 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
635 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
636 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
638 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
640 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
642 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
643 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
644 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
646 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
647 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
648 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
649 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
650 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
651 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
654 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
655 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
656 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
657 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
658 of masquerading individually.
660 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
661 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
662 GECOS field delimiters.
664 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
666 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
667 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
668 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
669 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
670 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
671 and explaining the feature.
673 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
675 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
676 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
679 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
680 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
681 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
683 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
684 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
685 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
686 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
688 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
689 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
690 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
693 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
695 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
698 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
700 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
702 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
703 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
704 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
705 quotes embedded in them.
707 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
709 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
710 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
711 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
712 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
713 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
714 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
715 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
718 The other theory is that because you can say something like
719 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
720 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
721 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
722 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
724 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
726 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
728 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
729 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
730 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
731 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
733 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
736 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
738 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
740 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
743 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
744 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
746 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
749 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
751 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
752 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
753 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
754 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
755 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
756 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
758 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
759 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
761 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
766 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
768 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
769 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
770 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
773 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
774 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
775 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
776 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
777 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
778 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
779 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
780 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
781 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
782 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
783 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
784 processing that post has).
786 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
788 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
789 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
790 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
791 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
792 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
793 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
796 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
798 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
800 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
802 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
804 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
805 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
807 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
810 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
812 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
813 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
814 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
817 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
819 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
820 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
821 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
822 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
823 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
824 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
826 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
828 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
830 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
832 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
833 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
834 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
835 caught again. This works for now.
837 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
839 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
841 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
842 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
844 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
846 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
847 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
849 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
851 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
853 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
855 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
856 changes. Both need more cleanup.
858 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
860 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
861 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
862 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
863 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
864 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
867 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
869 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
870 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
871 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
873 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
874 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
877 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
880 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
881 to a directory on another device with more free space.
883 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
885 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
886 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
888 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
890 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
893 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
894 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
896 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
897 macros, regardless of platform.
899 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
900 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
902 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
903 with x-conversions=gzip.
905 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
907 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
910 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
911 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
912 implicit definition of ioctl().
914 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
915 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
916 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
917 want to mess with them.
919 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
921 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
922 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
924 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
925 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
927 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
928 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
929 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
931 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
932 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
933 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
935 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
938 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
941 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
942 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
945 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
946 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
949 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
950 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
954 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
956 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
957 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
958 preventing compilation on at least linux.
960 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
961 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
963 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
965 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
967 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
968 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
969 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
970 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
972 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
973 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
975 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
977 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
979 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
981 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
982 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
984 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
986 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
987 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
989 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
990 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
991 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
992 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
994 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
995 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
997 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
999 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1000 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1002 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1004 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1005 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1008 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1010 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1012 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1014 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1015 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1017 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1018 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1019 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1021 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1022 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1023 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1025 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1026 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1027 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1029 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1030 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1033 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1034 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1036 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1037 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1039 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1040 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1042 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1043 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1044 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1046 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1047 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1049 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1050 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1051 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1053 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1054 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1057 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1058 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1060 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1061 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1062 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1063 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1065 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1066 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1068 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1072 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1073 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1074 would not be changed.
1076 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1077 one from the Apache web server.
1079 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1080 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1082 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1083 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1084 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1086 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1088 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1090 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1091 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1094 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1095 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1096 removes a bad race condition.
1098 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1101 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1102 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1103 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1105 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1106 sequence information.
1108 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1109 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1111 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1114 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1117 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1119 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1120 interpret 034 as octal.
1122 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1124 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1125 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1127 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1128 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1130 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1131 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1133 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1134 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1136 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1137 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1139 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1140 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1141 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1143 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1144 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1145 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1147 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1149 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1151 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1152 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1155 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1157 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1158 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1160 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1161 header field information.
1163 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1164 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1166 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1167 values when parsing a content.
1169 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1170 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1172 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1173 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1175 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1176 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1178 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1179 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1181 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1183 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1185 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1187 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1189 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1190 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1193 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1194 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1196 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1197 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1198 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1199 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1200 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1201 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1204 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1206 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1207 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1208 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1210 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1211 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1213 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1215 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1216 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1217 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1218 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1220 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1221 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1224 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1225 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1226 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1227 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1230 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1232 * Released nmh-0.27.
1234 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1235 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1237 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1238 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1239 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1240 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1243 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1244 mhbuild returns an error.
1246 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1247 rename the draft file.
1249 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1250 use a global variable.
1252 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1253 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1255 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1256 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1258 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1259 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1260 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1262 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1263 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1265 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1266 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1269 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1270 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1273 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1274 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1276 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1277 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1278 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1280 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1281 to new function output_content_folder.
1283 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1284 new function output_content_file.
1286 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1287 to new function parse_format_string.
1289 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1290 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1291 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1292 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1294 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1295 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1296 message/external file from ftp.
1298 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1299 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1300 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1302 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1303 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1306 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1309 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1310 new file mhstoresbr.c
1312 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1315 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1316 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1318 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1319 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1321 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1322 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1323 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1325 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1327 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1329 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1330 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1333 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1334 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1336 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1339 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1341 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1343 * Released nmh-0.26.
1345 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1346 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1347 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1348 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1350 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1351 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1352 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1353 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1354 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1356 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1357 But it is not on by default.
1359 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1360 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1362 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1364 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1366 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1368 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1370 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1371 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1373 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1375 * Released nmh-0.25.
1377 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1378 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1379 uses the original name of the library.
1381 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1382 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1385 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1386 list_content and list_debug.
1388 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1390 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1391 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1393 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1395 * Released nmh-0.24.
1397 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1399 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1400 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1402 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1403 large sequence line.
1405 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1407 * Released nmh-0.23.
1409 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1411 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1412 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1413 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1414 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1416 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1417 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1420 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1422 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1424 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1426 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1427 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1429 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1430 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1432 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1433 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1435 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1436 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1438 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1440 * Released nmh-0.22.
1442 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1443 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1445 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1447 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1448 mh-profile(5) man page.
1450 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1451 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1453 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1455 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1457 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1458 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1460 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1462 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1463 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1464 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1466 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1467 source message on the standard input.
1469 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1471 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1472 rather than -rfc934mode.
1474 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1475 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1478 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1479 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1481 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1484 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1486 * Released nmh-0.21.
1488 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1489 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1491 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1494 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1495 to use for text contents.
1497 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1499 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1501 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1503 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1505 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1506 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1508 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1509 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1510 spaces between encoded word are.
1512 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1514 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1515 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1517 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1518 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1519 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1521 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1523 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1524 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1526 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1528 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1530 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1531 ISO-8859-X character set.
1533 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1536 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1537 permissions, not write permissions.
1539 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1540 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1542 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1545 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1547 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1549 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1550 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1552 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1553 message contains valid character set.
1555 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1556 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1558 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1559 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1561 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1562 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1563 between an encoded word and normal text.
1565 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1566 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1568 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1569 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1571 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1574 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1575 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1578 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1579 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1581 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1582 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1584 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1586 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1588 * Released nmh-0.20.
1590 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1592 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1594 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1595 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1596 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1598 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1599 and the To: line was missing.
1601 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1603 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1605 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1607 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1608 watch the POP transaction.
1610 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1611 first, and use it if available.
1613 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1614 first, and use it if available.
1616 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1618 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1620 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1621 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1622 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1625 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1626 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1627 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1629 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1630 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1633 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1635 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1636 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1638 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1640 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1641 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1643 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1644 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1645 message to which you are replying.
1647 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1648 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1649 making group replies.
1651 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1653 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1655 * Released nmh-0.19.
1657 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1658 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1660 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1661 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1662 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1663 to the end of the man page.
1665 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1666 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1667 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1668 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1669 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1670 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1672 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1675 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1676 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1677 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1679 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1680 the next available number above the message number you wish
1683 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1684 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1686 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1687 file sbr/seq_print.c
1689 * flist will now update the current folder.
1691 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1692 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1693 but now undocumented.
1695 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1698 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1699 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1701 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1703 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1704 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1706 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1708 * Released nmh-0.18.
1710 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1711 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1712 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1714 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1715 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1717 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1718 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1719 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1720 previous public/private status.
1722 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1725 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1728 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1729 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1730 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1732 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1733 take option to determine whether it should get current
1734 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1735 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1737 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1739 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1740 wait for stopped processes.
1742 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1743 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1745 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1749 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1750 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1752 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1753 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1755 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1756 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1757 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1758 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1760 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1763 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1766 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1768 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1769 the debugging output.
1771 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1772 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1774 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1776 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1778 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1779 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1781 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1783 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1784 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1785 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1786 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1787 in the given sequence.
1789 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1790 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1791 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1792 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1793 subdirectories of a given directory.
1795 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1796 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1797 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1799 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1800 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1802 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1804 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1807 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1808 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1809 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1811 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1812 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1813 are calculated at runtime.
1815 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1823 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1824 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1825 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1826 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1827 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1829 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1830 adding message to folder itself.
1832 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1833 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1834 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1837 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1838 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1841 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1842 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1843 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1845 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1846 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1848 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1849 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1850 code to use it yet).
1852 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1854 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1856 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1857 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1859 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1860 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1862 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1864 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1867 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1882 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1884 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1886 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

1889 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1891 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1892 configuration files.
1894 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

1900 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1902 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1903 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1905 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1908 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1909 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1911 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1912 number of refiled message.
1914 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1916 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1917 for return value of wait().
1919 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1921 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.16.

1927 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1929 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1930 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1931 deal with binary messages, yet).
1933 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1935 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1937 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1938 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1939 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1940 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1941 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1942 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1944 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1945 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1947 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1948 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1950 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1951 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1954 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1956 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1958 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1959 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1962 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1965 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1967 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1968 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1969 which used unsigned chars by default.
1971 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1973 * Released nmh-0.15.
1975 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1980 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1982 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1985 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1986 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1987 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1989 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1990 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1992 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1994 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1995 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1997 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1998 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1999 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2000 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2002 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2003 and put in own subroutine.
2005 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2006 and put in own subroutine.
2008 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2009 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2010 refile.c to use new routine.
2012 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2014 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2016 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2019 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2020 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2021 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2023 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2026 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2027 adding message to sequence.
2029 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2030 corresponding file in sbr.
2032 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2035 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2037 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2038 all selected messages from a sequence.
2040 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2041 selected messages to a sequence.
2043 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2046 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2048 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2049 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2051 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2053 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2090 * Released nmh-0.13.
2092 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2093 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2094 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2095 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2098 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2099 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2101 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2103 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2104 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2106 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2108 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2125 mp->attrstats with macros.
2127 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2130 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2133 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2134 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2136 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2137 will suppress the display of the message header.
2139 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2141 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2142 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2144 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2146 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2148 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2150 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2151 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2153 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2154 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.

2158 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2160 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2161 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2163 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2164 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2166 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2168 * Released nmh-0.10.

2175 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2178 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2180 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2181 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2183 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2216 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2218 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2219 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2221 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2223 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2224 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2226 * Released nmh-0.08.
2228 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2229 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2230 locking database itself.

2234 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2236 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2237 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2240 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2241 rather than mmdf format.
2243 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2244 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2245 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2246 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2248 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2250 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2252 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2255 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2256 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2257 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2259 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2260 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2261 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2263 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2266 can still easily change this in config.h).
2268 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2269 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2270 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2272 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2274 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2286 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2288 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2289 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2291 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2292 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2295 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2296 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2298 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2299 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2301 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2303 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2305 * Added configure check for tzset.

2309 * Released nmh-0.06.
2311 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2312 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2314 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2315 many such machines around anymore.
2317 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2318 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2320 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2321 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2323 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2325 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2326 pre-generated version if necessary.
2328 * Released nmh-0.05.
2330 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2331 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2332 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2333 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2335 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2336 be linked in one pass.
2338 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2340 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2341 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2343 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2345 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2347 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2349 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2350 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2351 become the current folder.
2353 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * Released nmh-0.04.
2357 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2360 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2362 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2363 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2364 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2366 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2368 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2369 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2371 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2373 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2374 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2377 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2378 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2380 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2382 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2383 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2384 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2385 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2386 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2387 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2389 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2392 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2394 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2395 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2397 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2399 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2400 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2402 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2404 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2405 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2406 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2408 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2410 * Released nmh-0.03.
2412 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2413 .mh_sequence file existed.
2415 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2416 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2418 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2419 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2422 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2424 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2427 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2429 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2430 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2431 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2433 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2435 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2436 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2437 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2439 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2441 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2442 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2444 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2446 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2448 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2449 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2450 directory from where the source code is located.
2452 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2454 * Released nmh-0.02.
2456 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2461 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2463 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2464 and sys_nerr directly.
2466 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2470 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2472 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2474 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2475 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2476 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2477 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2478 rather than in script.
2480 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2482 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2484 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2485 macro defined on Solaris.
2487 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2489 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2490 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2492 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2493 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2494 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2495 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2498 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2501 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2503 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2506 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2508 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2510 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2511 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2513 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2515 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2516 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2518 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2520 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2521 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2522 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2523 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2524 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2525 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2527 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2529 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2531 * Released nmh-0.01.
2533 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2534 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2535 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2538 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2540 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2543 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2545 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2546 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2548 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2550 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2551 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2552 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2553 script to find_program.
2555 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2557 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2558 speed up -recurse option.
2560 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2561 yet, but it compiles :-)
2563 * Changed default location for install to
2564 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2565 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2566 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2569 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2570 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2571 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
