1 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
4 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
6 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
7 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
8 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
10 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
12 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
13 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
15 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
16 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
17 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
18 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
21 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
22 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
23 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
25 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
26 entry in the context file.
28 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
30 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
31 problems on some systems
33 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
34 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
36 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
38 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
39 sendmail isn't found during build.
41 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
43 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
45 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
47 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
48 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
50 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
51 references to the web page and mailing list locations
53 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
54 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
56 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
59 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
61 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
62 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
63 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
65 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
66 was configured with --enable-apop.
68 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
69 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
70 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
72 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
75 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
76 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
77 doesn't guess wrongly.
79 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
81 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
82 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
84 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
85 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
87 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
88 files with numbers as names
90 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
92 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
94 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
96 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
98 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
99 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
101 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
103 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
106 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
107 test/report error writing to stdout
109 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
111 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
113 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
114 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
115 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
117 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
118 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
119 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
121 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
123 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
124 character set used by the current locale
126 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
127 message's filename overflows an int when converted
129 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
130 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
132 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
134 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
137 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
139 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
140 from Michael Richardson.
142 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
143 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
145 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
147 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
148 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
150 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
152 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
153 find sub-parts of the specified part
155 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
157 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
158 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
159 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
160 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
161 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
162 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
163 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
166 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
168 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
169 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
170 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
173 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
174 refiling with -src option.
176 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
178 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
180 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
182 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
183 mailpath being overwritten.
185 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
187 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
188 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
189 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
190 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
191 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
192 reinitializes the tmp file string.
194 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
195 if a format string was read from the profile.
197 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
198 path for the external hook.
200 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
202 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
203 another location for ndbm.
205 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
207 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
209 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
211 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
214 136976 - Handle binary content messages
215 143427 - mh-format.man typo
216 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
217 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
218 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
219 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
220 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
221 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
222 181867 - typo for nmh.man
224 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
226 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
227 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
228 contitional code which will result in cached data to
229 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
230 and parse on the first use.
231 * Remove some unused flag bits.
233 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
235 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
236 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
238 #578 - repl leaks umask
239 #1393 - sortm core dumps
240 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
241 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
242 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
244 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
245 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
247 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
249 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
250 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
252 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
255 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
256 to docs/README.about.
258 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
260 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
262 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
263 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
264 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
265 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
268 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
270 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
271 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
272 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
273 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
274 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
275 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
278 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
279 summary configure prints out.
281 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
282 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
283 subjectively more readable) format.
285 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
287 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
290 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
292 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
293 19xx when it's not necessary.
295 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
297 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
298 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
301 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
302 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
303 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
304 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
305 the man pages correctly.
307 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
309 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
311 * Finished manpages ali-prev
313 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
314 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
315 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
318 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
319 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
320 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
321 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
323 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
325 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
326 the formatting rules I've been using.
330 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
332 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
333 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
334 used in the manpages.
336 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
337 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
338 read in the contents of the file as the variable
341 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
342 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
343 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
344 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
345 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
346 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
347 bold flags and italicized parameters.
349 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
351 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
352 --with-locking option.
354 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
355 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
356 information was not being communicated to the
357 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
358 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
359 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
360 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
361 undefined symbols problems.
363 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
364 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
365 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
366 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
367 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
368 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
369 for a genuine krb4 installation.
371 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
373 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
374 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
376 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
378 * Made a new ./configure option called
379 "--with-locking" that allows the file
380 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
381 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
383 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
384 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
385 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
386 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
387 the user that these are the valid options, and
388 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
391 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
393 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
394 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
395 committed to supporting flex only, since
396 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
397 string, as well as other problems documented
398 below and on nmh-workers.
400 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
401 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
402 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
405 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
406 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
408 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
410 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
411 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
412 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
414 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
416 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
417 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
419 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
421 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
422 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
423 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
424 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
425 couldn't correctly identify them.
427 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
429 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
430 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
431 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
432 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
433 not depending on an external archive.
435 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
436 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
437 mts/generic is no longer built.
439 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
441 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
442 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
443 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
444 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
445 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
446 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
447 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
448 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
450 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
452 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
453 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
456 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
458 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
459 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
460 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
463 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
464 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
465 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
466 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
468 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
469 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
470 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
471 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
472 merged into the smtp code).
474 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
475 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
476 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
479 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
480 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
481 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
482 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
483 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
484 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
485 in the appropriate Makefile.in
487 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
489 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
490 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
491 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
492 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
493 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
494 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
495 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
496 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
497 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
498 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
499 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
501 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
503 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
504 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
505 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
506 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
507 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
508 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
509 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
510 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
511 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
513 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
515 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
516 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
519 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
521 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
522 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
524 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
526 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
527 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
528 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
529 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
531 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
533 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
534 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
535 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
536 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
537 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
539 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
540 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
542 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
544 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
546 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
547 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
548 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
549 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
551 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
552 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
553 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
554 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
556 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
557 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
558 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
559 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
561 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
562 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
563 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
565 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
567 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
568 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
569 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
570 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
571 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
572 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
575 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
576 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
578 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
579 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
581 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
583 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
585 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
587 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
588 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
589 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
590 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
592 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
594 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
595 be easily changed from "," to "#".
597 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
599 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
601 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
602 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
605 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
607 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
608 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
609 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
610 but not for the subsequent data stream.
612 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
614 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
615 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
616 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
617 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
618 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
620 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
622 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
623 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
625 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
626 cat, also define lorder as echo.
628 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
630 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
632 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
633 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
634 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
636 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
638 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
641 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
642 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
644 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
646 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
647 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
649 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
651 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
652 inc does not need to be setgid.
654 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
656 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
657 library, as found on Debian systems.
659 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
661 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
663 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
664 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
665 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
666 case-insensitivity flag.
668 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
670 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
671 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
673 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
675 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
676 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
677 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
678 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
679 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
680 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
681 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
682 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
683 getting moved aside).
685 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
686 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
688 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
690 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
691 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
692 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
693 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
694 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
695 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
696 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
697 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
698 the prototype, but never sets it.
700 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
701 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
702 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
703 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
704 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
705 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
707 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
708 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
709 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
710 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
711 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
713 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
715 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
716 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
719 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
720 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
721 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
722 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
723 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
724 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
725 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
727 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
729 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
731 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
732 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
733 this works on other systems.
735 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
737 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
738 checks for write failures.
740 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
742 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
744 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
747 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
749 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
751 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
753 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
754 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
757 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
759 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
760 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
761 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
762 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
764 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
766 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
767 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
770 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
771 as well as Makefiles.
773 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
775 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
776 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
777 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
778 should make maintainability easier.
780 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
781 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
782 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
783 whatever you know works.
785 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
787 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
788 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
789 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
791 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
792 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
793 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
794 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
796 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
797 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
798 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
800 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
801 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
802 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
803 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
804 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
806 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
807 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
808 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
809 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
810 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
811 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
812 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
813 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
814 from the BSD version.
816 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
817 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
818 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
820 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
823 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
826 This happens on solaris:
829 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
830 No manual entry for mts.conf.
834 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
836 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
837 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
839 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
842 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
843 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
844 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
845 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
846 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
847 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
848 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
849 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
850 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
851 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
853 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
854 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
855 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
856 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
857 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
858 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
861 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
862 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
863 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
864 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
865 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
867 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
868 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
870 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
872 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
873 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
874 to stdin, such as exmh.
876 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
877 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
878 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
881 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
884 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
885 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
886 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
887 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
888 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
889 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
891 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
893 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
894 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
896 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
898 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
899 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
901 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
903 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
906 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
907 along with any -host or -user option.
909 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
911 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
913 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
914 process was fresh in my mind.
916 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
918 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
919 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
921 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
923 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
925 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
928 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
929 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
930 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
931 part of the program's name.
933 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
934 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
937 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
939 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
940 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
941 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
942 single-character format would cause programs using this
943 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
944 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
945 when the format string was one character. This eventually
946 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
949 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
951 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
952 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
953 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
954 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
955 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
956 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
958 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
959 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
960 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
961 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
962 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
963 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
964 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
965 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
967 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
968 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
969 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
970 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
971 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
972 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
973 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
974 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
975 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
976 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
978 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
980 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
981 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
983 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
984 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
986 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
991 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
993 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
994 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
995 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
996 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
998 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
999 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1000 problem in the routine.
1002 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1004 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1005 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1007 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1008 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1009 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1012 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1014 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1015 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1016 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1017 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1018 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1019 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1020 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1021 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1022 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1023 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1025 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1027 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1028 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1029 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1030 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1031 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1032 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1033 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1034 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1035 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1036 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1037 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1038 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1040 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1041 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1042 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1043 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1044 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1046 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1049 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1051 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1052 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1053 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1054 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1057 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1059 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1061 * Applied, after some finessing,
1062 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1064 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1066 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1068 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1069 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1070 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1071 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1073 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1075 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1076 forgetting to do so!).
1078 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1079 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1080 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1081 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1082 arguments to enable all three types.
1084 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1085 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1087 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1088 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1089 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1090 updated copy of mts.conf.
1092 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1094 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1095 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1096 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1098 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1100 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1102 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1103 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1104 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1106 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1107 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1108 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1110 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1111 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1112 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1114 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1116 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1118 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1120 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1122 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1123 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1125 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1126 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1127 certain suffix to run properly.
1129 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1130 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1131 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1133 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1134 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1135 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1136 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1137 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1138 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1139 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1141 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1143 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1144 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1145 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1146 until some year far in the future).
1148 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1150 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1152 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1153 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1155 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1156 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1159 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1162 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1163 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1164 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1165 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1166 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1168 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1170 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1172 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1173 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1174 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1176 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1177 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1178 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1179 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1180 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1181 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1184 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1185 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1186 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1187 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1188 of masquerading individually.
1190 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1191 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1192 GECOS field delimiters.
1194 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1196 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1197 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1198 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1199 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1200 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1201 and explaining the feature.
1203 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1205 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1206 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1209 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1210 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1211 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1213 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1214 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1215 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1216 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1218 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1219 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1220 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1223 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1225 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1226 code to be executed.
1228 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1230 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1232 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1233 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1234 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1235 quotes embedded in them.
1237 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1239 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1240 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1241 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1242 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1243 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1244 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1245 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1248 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1249 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1250 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1251 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1252 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1254 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1256 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1258 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1259 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1260 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1261 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1263 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1266 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1268 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1270 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1272 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1273 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1274 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1276 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1279 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1281 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1282 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1283 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1284 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1285 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1286 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1288 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1289 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1291 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1293 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1296 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1298 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1299 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1300 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1303 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1304 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1305 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1306 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1307 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1308 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1309 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1310 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1311 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1312 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1313 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1314 processing that post has).
1316 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1318 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1319 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1320 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1321 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1322 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1323 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1326 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1328 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1330 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1332 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1334 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1335 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1337 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1340 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1342 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1343 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1344 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1347 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1349 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1350 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1351 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1352 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1353 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1354 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1356 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1358 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1360 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1362 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1363 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1364 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1365 caught again. This works for now.
1367 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1369 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1371 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1372 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1374 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1376 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1377 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1379 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1381 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1383 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1385 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1386 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1388 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1390 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1391 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1392 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1393 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1394 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1397 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1399 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1400 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1401 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1403 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1404 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1407 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1409 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1410 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1411 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1413 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1415 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1416 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1418 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1420 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1423 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1424 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1426 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1427 macros, regardless of platform.
1429 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1430 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1432 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1433 with x-conversions=gzip.
1435 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1437 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1440 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1441 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1442 implicit definition of ioctl().
1444 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1445 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1446 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1447 want to mess with them.
1449 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1451 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1452 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1454 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1455 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1457 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1458 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1459 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1461 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1462 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1463 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1465 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1466 function initgroups.
1468 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1471 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1472 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1475 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1476 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1479 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1480 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1484 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1486 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1487 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1488 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1490 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1491 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1493 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1495 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1497 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1498 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1499 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1500 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1502 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1503 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1505 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1507 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1509 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1511 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1512 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1514 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1516 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1517 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1519 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1520 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1521 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1522 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1524 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1525 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1527 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1529 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1530 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1532 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1534 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1535 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1538 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1540 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1542 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1544 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1545 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1547 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1548 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1549 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1551 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1552 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1553 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1555 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1556 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1557 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1559 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1560 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1563 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1564 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1566 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1567 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1569 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1570 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1572 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1573 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1574 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1576 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1577 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1579 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1580 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1581 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1583 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1584 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1587 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1588 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1590 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1591 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1592 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1593 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1595 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1596 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1598 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1602 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1603 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1604 would not be changed.
1606 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1607 one from the Apache web server.
1609 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1610 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1612 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1613 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1614 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1616 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1618 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1620 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1621 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1624 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1625 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1626 removes a bad race condition.
1628 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1631 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1632 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1633 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1635 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1636 sequence information.
1638 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1639 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1641 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1644 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1647 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1649 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1650 interpret 034 as octal.
1652 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1654 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1655 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1657 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1658 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1660 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1661 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1663 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1664 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1666 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1667 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1669 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1670 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1671 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1673 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1674 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1675 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1677 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1679 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1681 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1682 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1685 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1687 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1688 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1690 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1691 header field information.
1693 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1694 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1696 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1697 values when parsing a content.
1699 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1700 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1702 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1703 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1705 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1706 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1708 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1709 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1711 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1713 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1715 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1717 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1719 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1720 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1723 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1724 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1726 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1727 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1728 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1729 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1730 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1731 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1734 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1736 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1737 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1738 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1740 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1741 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1743 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1745 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1746 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1747 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1748 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1750 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1751 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1754 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1755 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1756 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1757 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1760 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1762 * Released nmh-0.27.
1764 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1765 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1767 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1768 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1769 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1770 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1773 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1774 mhbuild returns an error.
1776 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1777 rename the draft file.
1779 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1780 use a global variable.
1782 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1783 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1785 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1786 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1788 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1789 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1790 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1792 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1793 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1795 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1796 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1799 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1800 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1803 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1804 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1806 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1807 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1808 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1810 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1811 to new function output_content_folder.
1813 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1814 new function output_content_file.
1816 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1817 to new function parse_format_string.
1819 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1820 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1821 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1822 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1824 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1825 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1826 message/external file from ftp.
1828 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1829 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1830 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1832 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1833 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1836 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1839 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1840 new file mhstoresbr.c
1842 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1845 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1846 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1848 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1849 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1851 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1852 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1853 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1855 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1857 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1859 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1860 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1863 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1864 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1866 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1869 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1871 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1873 * Released nmh-0.26.
1875 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1876 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1877 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1878 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1880 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1881 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1882 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1883 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1884 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1886 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1887 But it is not on by default.
1889 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1890 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1892 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1894 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1896 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1898 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1900 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1901 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1903 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1905 * Released nmh-0.25.
1907 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1908 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1909 uses the original name of the library.
1911 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1912 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1915 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1916 list_content and list_debug.
1918 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1920 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1921 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1923 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1925 * Released nmh-0.24.
1927 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1929 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1930 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1932 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1933 large sequence line.
1935 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1937 * Released nmh-0.23.
1939 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1941 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1942 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1943 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1944 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1946 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1947 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1950 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1952 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1954 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1956 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1957 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1959 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1960 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1962 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1963 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1965 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1966 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1968 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1970 * Released nmh-0.22.
1972 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1973 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1975 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1977 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1978 mh-profile(5) man page.
1980 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1981 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1983 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1987 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1988 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1990 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1992 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1993 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1994 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1996 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1997 source message on the standard input.
1999 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2001 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2002 rather than -rfc934mode.
2004 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2005 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2008 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2009 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2011 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2014 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2016 * Released nmh-0.21.
2018 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2019 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2021 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2024 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2025 to use for text contents.
2027 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2029 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2031 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2033 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2035 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2036 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2038 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2039 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2040 spaces between encoded word are.
2042 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2044 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2045 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2047 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2048 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2049 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2051 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2053 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2054 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2056 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2058 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2060 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2061 ISO-8859-X character set.
2063 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2066 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2067 permissions, not write permissions.
2069 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2070 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2072 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2075 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2077 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2079 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2080 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2082 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2083 message contains valid character set.
2085 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2086 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2088 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2089 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2091 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2092 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2093 between an encoded word and normal text.
2095 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2096 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2098 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2099 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2101 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2104 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2105 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2108 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2109 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2111 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2112 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2114 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2116 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2118 * Released nmh-0.20.
2120 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2122 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2124 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2125 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2126 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2128 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2129 and the To: line was missing.
2131 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2133 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2135 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2137 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2138 watch the POP transaction.
2140 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2141 first, and use it if available.
2143 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2144 first, and use it if available.
2146 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2148 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2150 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2151 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2152 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2155 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2156 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2157 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2159 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2160 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2163 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2165 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2166 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2168 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2170 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2171 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2173 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2174 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2175 message to which you are replying.
2177 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2178 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2179 making group replies.
2181 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2183 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2185 * Released nmh-0.19.
2187 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2188 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2190 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2191 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2192 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2193 to the end of the man page.
2195 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2196 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2197 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2198 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2199 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2200 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2202 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2205 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2206 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2207 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2209 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2210 the next available number above the message number you wish
2213 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2214 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2216 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2217 file sbr/seq_print.c
2219 * flist will now update the current folder.
2221 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2222 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2223 but now undocumented.
2225 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2228 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2229 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2231 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2233 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2234 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2236 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2238 * Released nmh-0.18.
2240 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2241 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2242 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2244 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2245 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2247 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2248 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2249 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2250 previous public/private status.
2252 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2255 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2258 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2259 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2260 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2262 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2263 take option to determine whether it should get current
2264 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2265 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2267 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2269 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2270 wait for stopped processes.
2272 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2273 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2275 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2277 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2279 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2280 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2282 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2283 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2285 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2286 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2287 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2288 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2290 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2293 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2296 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2298 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2299 the debugging output.
2301 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2302 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2304 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2306 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2308 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2309 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2311 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2313 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2314 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2315 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2316 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2317 in the given sequence.
2319 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2320 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2321 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2322 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2323 subdirectories of a given directory.
2325 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2326 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2327 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2329 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2330 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2332 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2334 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2337 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2338 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2339 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2341 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2342 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2343 are calculated at runtime.
2345 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2347 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2349 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2350 about checking for global mh.profile.
2352 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2353 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2354 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2355 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2356 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2357 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2359 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2360 adding message to folder itself.
2362 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2363 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2364 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2367 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2368 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2371 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2372 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2373 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2375 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2376 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2378 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2379 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2380 code to use it yet).
2382 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2384 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2386 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2387 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2389 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2390 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2392 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2394 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2397 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2399 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2401 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2403 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2405 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2406 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2408 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2410 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2412 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2414 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2416 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2418 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2419 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2421 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2422 configuration files.
2424 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2426 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2428 * Released nmh-0.17.
2430 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2432 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2433 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2435 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2438 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2439 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2441 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2442 number of refiled message.
2444 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2446 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2447 for return value of wait().
2449 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2451 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2453 * Released nmh-0.16.
2455 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2457 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2459 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2460 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2461 deal with binary messages, yet).
2463 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2465 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2467 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2468 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2469 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2470 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2471 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2472 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2474 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2475 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2477 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2478 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2480 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2481 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2484 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2486 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2488 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2489 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2492 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2495 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2497 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2498 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2499 which used unsigned chars by default.
2501 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2503 * Released nmh-0.15.
2505 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2506 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2508 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2510 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2512 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2515 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2516 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2517 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2519 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2520 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2522 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2524 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2525 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2527 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2528 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2529 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2530 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2532 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2533 and put in own subroutine.
2535 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2536 and put in own subroutine.
2538 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2539 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2540 refile.c to use new routine.
2542 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2544 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2546 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2549 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2550 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2551 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2553 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2556 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2557 adding message to sequence.
2559 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2560 corresponding file in sbr.
2562 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2565 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2567 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2568 all selected messages from a sequence.
2570 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2571 selected messages to a sequence.
2573 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2576 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2578 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2579 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2581 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2583 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2584 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2586 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2588 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2589 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
2591 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2593 * Released nmh-0.14.
2595 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2596 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2598 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2600 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2601 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2602 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2603 environment variable.
2605 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2606 draft folder facility in nmh.
2608 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2611 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2612 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2615 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2618 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2620 * Released nmh-0.13.
2622 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2623 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2624 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2625 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2628 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2629 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2631 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2633 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2634 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2636 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2639 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2641 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Released nmh-0.12.
2645 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2651 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2652 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2654 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2655 mp->attrstats with macros.
2657 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2660 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2663 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2664 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2666 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2667 will suppress the display of the message header.
2669 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2671 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2672 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2674 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2676 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2678 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2680 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2681 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2683 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2684 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2686 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2688 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2690 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2691 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2693 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2694 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2696 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Released nmh-0.10.
2700 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2702 * Add configure check for <locale.h>. Turn on LOCALE support
2705 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2707 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2708 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2710 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2711 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2713 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2714 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2716 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2718 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2719 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2721 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2723 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2724 of missing tabs in regex.
2726 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2728 * Released nmh-0.09.
2730 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2732 * Add configure check for killpg.
2734 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2737 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2739 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2741 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2744 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2748 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2749 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2751 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2754 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2756 * Released nmh-0.08.
2758 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2759 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2760 locking database itself.
2762 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2766 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2767 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2770 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2771 rather than mmdf format.
2773 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2774 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2775 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2776 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2778 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2780 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2782 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2785 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2786 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2787 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2789 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2790 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2791 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2793 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2795 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2796 can still easily change this in config.h).
2798 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2799 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2800 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2802 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2805 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2807 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2809 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2811 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2814 * Released nmh-0.07.
2816 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2818 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2819 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2821 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2822 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2825 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2826 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2828 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2829 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2831 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2833 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2835 * Added configure check for tzset.
2837 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2839 * Released nmh-0.06.
2841 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2842 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2844 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2845 many such machines around anymore.
2847 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2848 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2850 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2851 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2853 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2855 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2856 pre-generated version if necessary.
2858 * Released nmh-0.05.
2860 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2861 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2862 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2863 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2865 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2866 be linked in one pass.
2868 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2870 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2871 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2873 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2875 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2877 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2880 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2881 become the current folder.
2883 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2885 * Released nmh-0.04.
2887 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2890 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2892 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2893 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2894 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2896 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2898 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2899 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2901 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2904 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2907 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2908 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2910 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2912 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2913 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2914 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2915 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2916 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2917 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2919 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2921 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2922 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2924 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2925 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2927 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2929 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2930 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2932 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2935 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2936 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2938 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Released nmh-0.03.
2942 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2943 .mh_sequence file existed.
2945 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2946 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2948 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2949 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2952 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2957 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2959 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2960 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2961 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2963 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2965 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2966 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2967 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2969 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2971 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2972 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2974 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2976 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2978 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2979 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2980 directory from where the source code is located.
2982 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * Released nmh-0.02.
2986 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2991 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2993 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2994 and sys_nerr directly.
2996 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2998 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3000 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3002 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3004 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3005 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3006 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3007 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3008 rather than in script.
3010 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3012 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3014 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3015 macro defined on Solaris.
3017 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3020 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3022 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3023 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3024 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3025 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3028 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3030 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3031 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3033 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3036 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3040 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3041 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3043 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3045 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3046 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3048 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3050 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3051 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3052 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3053 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3054 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3055 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3057 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3061 * Released nmh-0.01.
3063 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3064 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3065 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3068 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3070 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3073 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3075 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3076 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3078 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3080 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3081 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3082 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3083 script to find_program.
3085 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3087 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3088 speed up -recurse option.
3090 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3091 yet, but it compiles :-)
3093 * Changed default location for install to
3094 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3095 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3096 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3099 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3100 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3101 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
