3 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
4 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
6 * sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c, sbr/context_save.c:
7 mark 'no context' with NULL rather than "/dev/null" so we don't
8 inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which takes up to a minute
9 in some locking configurations and makes post very slow).
11 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
13 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
14 problems on some systems
16 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
17 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
19 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
21 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
22 sendmail isn't found during build.
24 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
28 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
30 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
31 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
33 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
34 references to the web page and mailing list locations
36 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
37 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
39 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
42 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
44 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
45 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
46 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
48 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
49 was configured with --enable-apop.
51 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
52 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
53 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
55 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
58 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
59 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
60 doesn't guess wrongly.
62 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
64 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
65 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
67 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
68 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
70 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
71 files with numbers as names
73 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
75 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
77 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
79 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
81 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
82 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
84 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
86 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
89 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
90 test/report error writing to stdout
92 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
94 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
96 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
97 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
98 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
100 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
101 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
102 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
104 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
106 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
107 character set used by the current locale
109 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
110 message's filename overflows an int when converted
112 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
113 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
115 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
117 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
120 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
122 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
123 from Michael Richardson.
125 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
126 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
128 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
130 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
131 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
133 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
135 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
136 find sub-parts of the specified part
138 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
140 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
141 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
142 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
143 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
144 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
145 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
146 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
149 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
151 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
152 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
153 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
156 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
157 refiling with -src option.
159 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
161 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
163 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
165 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
166 mailpath being overwritten.
168 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
170 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
171 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
172 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
173 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
174 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
175 reinitializes the tmp file string.
177 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
178 if a format string was read from the profile.
180 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
181 path for the external hook.
183 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
185 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
186 another location for ndbm.
188 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
190 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
192 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
194 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
197 136976 - Handle binary content messages
198 143427 - mh-format.man typo
199 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
200 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
201 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
202 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
203 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
204 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
205 181867 - typo for nmh.man
207 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
209 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
210 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
211 contitional code which will result in cached data to
212 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
213 and parse on the first use.
214 * Remove some unused flag bits.
216 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
218 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
219 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
221 #578 - repl leaks umask
222 #1393 - sortm core dumps
223 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
224 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
225 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
227 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
228 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
230 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
232 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
233 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
235 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
237 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
238 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
239 to docs/README.about.
241 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
243 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
245 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
246 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
247 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
248 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
251 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
253 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
254 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
255 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
256 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
257 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
258 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
261 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
262 summary configure prints out.
264 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
265 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
266 subjectively more readable) format.
268 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
273 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
275 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
276 19xx when it's not necessary.
278 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
280 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
281 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
284 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
285 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
286 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
287 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
288 the man pages correctly.
290 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
292 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
294 * Finished manpages ali-prev
296 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
297 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
298 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
301 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
302 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
303 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
304 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
306 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
308 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
309 the formatting rules I've been using.
313 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
316 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
317 used in the manpages.
319 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
320 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
321 read in the contents of the file as the variable
324 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
325 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
326 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
327 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
328 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
329 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
330 bold flags and italicized parameters.
332 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
334 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
335 --with-locking option.
337 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
338 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
339 information was not being communicated to the
340 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
341 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
342 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
343 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
344 undefined symbols problems.
346 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
347 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
348 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
349 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
350 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
351 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
352 for a genuine krb4 installation.
354 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
356 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
357 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
359 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
361 * Made a new ./configure option called
362 "--with-locking" that allows the file
363 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
364 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
366 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
367 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
368 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
369 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
370 the user that these are the valid options, and
371 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
374 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
376 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
377 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
378 committed to supporting flex only, since
379 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
380 string, as well as other problems documented
381 below and on nmh-workers.
383 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
384 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
385 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
388 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
389 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
391 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
393 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
394 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
395 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
397 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
399 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
400 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
402 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
404 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
405 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
406 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
407 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
408 couldn't correctly identify them.
410 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
412 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
413 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
414 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
415 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
416 not depending on an external archive.
418 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
419 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
420 mts/generic is no longer built.
422 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
424 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
425 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
426 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
427 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
428 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
429 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
430 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
431 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
433 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
435 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
436 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
439 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
441 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
442 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
443 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
446 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
447 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
448 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
449 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
451 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
452 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
453 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
454 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
455 merged into the smtp code).
457 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
458 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
459 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
462 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
463 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
464 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
465 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
466 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
467 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
468 in the appropriate Makefile.in
470 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
472 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
473 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
474 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
475 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
476 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
477 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
478 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
479 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
480 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
481 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
482 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
484 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
486 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
487 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
488 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
489 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
490 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
491 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
492 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
493 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
494 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
496 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
498 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
499 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
502 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
504 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
505 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
507 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
509 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
510 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
511 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
512 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
514 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
516 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
517 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
518 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
519 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
520 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
522 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
523 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
525 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
527 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
529 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
530 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
531 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
532 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
534 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
535 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
536 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
537 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
539 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
540 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
541 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
542 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
544 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
545 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
546 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
548 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
550 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
551 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
552 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
553 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
554 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
555 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
558 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
559 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
561 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
562 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
564 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
566 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
568 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
570 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
571 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
572 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
573 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
575 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
577 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
578 be easily changed from "," to "#".
580 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
582 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
584 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
585 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
588 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
590 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
591 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
592 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
593 but not for the subsequent data stream.
595 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
597 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
598 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
599 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
600 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
601 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
603 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
605 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
606 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
608 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
609 cat, also define lorder as echo.
611 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
613 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
615 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
616 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
617 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
619 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
621 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
624 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
625 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
627 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
629 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
630 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
632 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
634 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
635 inc does not need to be setgid.
637 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
639 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
640 library, as found on Debian systems.
642 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
644 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
646 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
647 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
648 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
649 case-insensitivity flag.
651 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
653 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
654 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
656 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
658 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
659 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
660 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
661 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
662 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
663 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
664 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
665 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
666 getting moved aside).
668 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
669 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
671 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
673 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
674 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
675 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
676 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
677 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
678 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
679 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
680 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
681 the prototype, but never sets it.
683 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
684 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
685 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
686 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
687 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
688 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
690 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
691 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
692 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
693 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
694 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
696 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
698 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
699 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
702 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
703 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
704 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
705 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
706 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
707 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
708 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
710 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
712 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
714 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
715 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
716 this works on other systems.
718 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
720 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
721 checks for write failures.
723 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
725 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
727 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
730 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
732 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
734 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
736 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
737 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
740 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
743 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
744 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
745 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
747 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
749 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
750 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
753 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
754 as well as Makefiles.
756 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
758 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
759 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
760 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
761 should make maintainability easier.
763 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
764 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
765 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
766 whatever you know works.
768 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
770 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
771 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
772 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
774 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
775 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
776 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
777 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
779 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
780 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
781 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
783 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
784 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
785 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
786 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
787 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
789 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
790 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
791 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
792 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
793 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
794 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
795 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
796 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
797 from the BSD version.
799 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
800 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
801 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
803 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
806 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
809 This happens on solaris:
812 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
813 No manual entry for mts.conf.
817 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
819 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
820 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
822 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
824 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
825 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
826 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
827 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
828 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
829 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
830 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
831 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
832 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
833 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
834 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
836 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
837 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
838 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
839 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
840 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
841 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
844 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
845 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
846 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
847 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
848 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
850 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
851 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
853 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
855 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
856 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
857 to stdin, such as exmh.
859 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
860 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
861 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
864 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
867 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
868 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
869 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
870 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
871 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
872 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
874 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
876 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
877 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
879 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
881 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
882 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
884 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
886 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
889 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
890 along with any -host or -user option.
892 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
894 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
896 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
897 process was fresh in my mind.
899 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
901 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
902 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
904 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
906 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
908 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
911 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
912 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
913 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
914 part of the program's name.
916 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
917 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
920 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
922 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
923 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
924 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
925 single-character format would cause programs using this
926 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
927 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
928 when the format string was one character. This eventually
929 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
932 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
934 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
935 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
936 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
937 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
938 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
939 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
941 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
942 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
943 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
944 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
945 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
946 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
947 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
948 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
950 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
951 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
952 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
953 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
954 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
955 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
956 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
957 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
958 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
959 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
961 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
963 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
964 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
966 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
967 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
969 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
974 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
976 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
977 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
978 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
979 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
981 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
982 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
983 problem in the routine.
985 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
987 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
988 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
990 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
991 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
992 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
995 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
997 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
998 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
999 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1000 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1001 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1002 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1003 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1004 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1005 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1006 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1008 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1011 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1012 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1013 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1014 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1015 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1016 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1017 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1018 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1019 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1020 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1021 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1023 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1024 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1025 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1026 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1027 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1029 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1032 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1034 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1035 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1036 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1037 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1040 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1042 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1044 * Applied, after some finessing,
1045 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1047 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1049 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1051 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1052 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1053 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1054 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1056 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1058 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1059 forgetting to do so!).
1061 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1062 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1063 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1064 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1065 arguments to enable all three types.
1067 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1068 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1070 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1071 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1072 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1073 updated copy of mts.conf.
1075 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1077 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1078 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1079 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1081 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1083 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1085 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1086 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1087 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1089 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1090 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1091 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1093 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1094 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1095 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1097 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1099 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1101 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1103 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1105 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1106 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1108 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1109 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1110 certain suffix to run properly.
1112 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1113 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1114 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1116 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1117 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1118 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1119 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1120 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1121 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1122 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1124 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1126 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1127 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1128 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1129 until some year far in the future).
1131 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1133 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1135 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1136 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1138 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1139 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1142 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1144 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1145 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1146 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1147 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1148 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1149 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1151 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1153 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1155 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1156 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1157 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1159 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1160 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1161 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1162 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1163 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1164 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1167 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1168 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1169 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1170 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1171 of masquerading individually.
1173 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1174 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1175 GECOS field delimiters.
1177 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1179 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1180 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1181 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1182 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1183 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1184 and explaining the feature.
1186 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1188 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1189 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1192 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1193 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1194 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1196 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1197 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1198 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1199 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1201 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1202 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1203 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1206 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1208 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1209 code to be executed.
1211 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1213 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1215 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1216 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1217 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1218 quotes embedded in them.
1220 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1222 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1223 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1224 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1225 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1226 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1227 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1228 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1231 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1232 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1233 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1234 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1235 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1237 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1239 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1241 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1242 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1243 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1244 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1246 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1249 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1251 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1253 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1255 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1256 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1257 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1259 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1262 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1264 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1265 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1266 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1267 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1268 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1269 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1271 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1272 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1274 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1276 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1279 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1281 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1282 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1283 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1286 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1287 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1288 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1289 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1290 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1291 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1292 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1293 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1294 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1295 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1296 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1297 processing that post has).
1299 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1301 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1302 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1303 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1304 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1305 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1306 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1309 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1311 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1313 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1315 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1317 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1318 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1320 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1323 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1325 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1326 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1327 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1330 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1332 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1333 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1334 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1335 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1336 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1337 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1339 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1341 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1343 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1345 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1346 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1347 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1348 caught again. This works for now.
1350 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1352 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1354 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1355 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1357 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1359 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1360 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1362 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1364 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1366 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1368 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1369 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1371 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1373 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1374 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1375 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1376 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1377 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1380 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1382 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1383 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1384 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1386 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1387 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1390 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1392 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1393 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1394 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1396 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1398 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1399 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1401 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1403 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1406 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1407 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1409 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1410 macros, regardless of platform.
1412 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1413 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1415 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1416 with x-conversions=gzip.
1418 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1420 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1423 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1424 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1425 implicit definition of ioctl().
1427 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1428 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1429 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1430 want to mess with them.
1432 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1434 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1435 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1437 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1438 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1440 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1441 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1442 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1444 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1445 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1446 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1448 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1449 function initgroups.
1451 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1454 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1455 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1458 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1459 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1462 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1463 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1467 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1469 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1470 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1471 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1473 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1474 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1476 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1478 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1480 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1481 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1482 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1483 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1485 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1486 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1488 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1490 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1492 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1494 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1495 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1497 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1499 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1500 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1502 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1503 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1504 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1505 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1507 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1508 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1510 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1512 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1513 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1515 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1517 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1518 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1521 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1523 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1525 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1527 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1528 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1530 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1531 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1532 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1534 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1535 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1536 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1538 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1539 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1540 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1542 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1543 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1546 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1547 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1549 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1550 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1552 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1553 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1555 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1556 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1557 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1559 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1560 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1562 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1563 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1564 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1566 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1567 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1570 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1571 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1573 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1574 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1575 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1576 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1578 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1579 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1581 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1585 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1586 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1587 would not be changed.
1589 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1590 one from the Apache web server.
1592 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1593 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1595 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1596 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1597 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1599 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1601 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1603 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1604 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1607 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1608 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1609 removes a bad race condition.
1611 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1614 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1615 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1616 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1618 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1619 sequence information.
1621 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1622 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1624 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1627 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1630 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1632 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1633 interpret 034 as octal.
1635 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1637 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1638 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1640 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1641 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1643 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1644 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1646 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1647 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1649 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1650 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1652 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1653 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1654 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1656 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1657 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1658 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1660 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1662 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1664 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1665 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1668 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1670 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1671 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1673 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1674 header field information.
1676 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1677 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1679 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1680 values when parsing a content.
1682 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1683 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1685 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1686 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1688 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1689 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1691 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1692 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1694 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1696 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1698 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1700 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1702 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1703 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1706 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1707 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1709 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1710 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1711 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1712 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1713 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1714 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1717 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1719 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1720 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1721 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1723 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1724 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1726 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1728 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1729 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1730 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1731 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1733 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1734 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1737 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1738 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1739 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1740 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1743 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1745 * Released nmh-0.27.
1747 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1748 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1750 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1751 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1752 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1753 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1756 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1757 mhbuild returns an error.
1759 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1760 rename the draft file.
1762 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1763 use a global variable.
1765 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1766 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1768 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1769 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1771 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1772 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1773 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1775 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1776 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1778 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1779 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1782 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1783 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1786 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1787 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1789 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1790 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1791 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1793 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1794 to new function output_content_folder.
1796 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1797 new function output_content_file.
1799 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1800 to new function parse_format_string.
1802 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1803 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1804 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1805 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1807 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1808 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1809 message/external file from ftp.
1811 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1812 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1813 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1815 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1816 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1819 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1822 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1823 new file mhstoresbr.c
1825 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1828 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1829 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1831 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1832 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1834 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1835 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1836 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1838 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1840 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1842 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1843 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1846 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1847 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1849 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1852 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1854 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1856 * Released nmh-0.26.
1858 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1859 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1860 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1861 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1863 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1864 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1865 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1866 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1867 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1869 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1870 But it is not on by default.
1872 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1873 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1875 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1877 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1879 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1881 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1883 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1884 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1886 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1888 * Released nmh-0.25.
1890 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1891 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1892 uses the original name of the library.
1894 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1895 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1898 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1899 list_content and list_debug.
1901 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1903 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1904 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1906 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1908 * Released nmh-0.24.
1910 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1912 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1913 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1915 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1916 large sequence line.
1918 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1920 * Released nmh-0.23.
1922 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1924 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1925 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1926 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1927 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1929 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1930 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1933 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1935 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1937 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1939 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1940 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1942 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1943 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1945 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1946 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1948 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1949 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1951 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.22.
1955 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1956 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1958 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1960 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1961 mh-profile(5) man page.
1963 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1964 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1966 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1968 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1970 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1971 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1973 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1975 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1976 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1977 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1979 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1980 source message on the standard input.
1982 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1984 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1985 rather than -rfc934mode.
1987 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1988 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1991 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1992 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1994 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1997 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1999 * Released nmh-0.21.
2001 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2002 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2004 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2007 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2008 to use for text contents.
2010 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2012 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2014 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2016 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2018 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2019 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2021 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2022 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2023 spaces between encoded word are.
2025 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2027 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2028 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2030 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2031 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2032 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2034 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2036 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2037 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2039 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2041 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2043 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2044 ISO-8859-X character set.
2046 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2049 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2050 permissions, not write permissions.
2052 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2053 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2055 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2058 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2060 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2062 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2063 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2065 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2066 message contains valid character set.
2068 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2069 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2071 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2072 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2074 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2075 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2076 between an encoded word and normal text.
2078 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2079 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2081 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2082 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2084 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2087 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2088 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2091 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2092 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2094 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2095 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2097 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2099 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2101 * Released nmh-0.20.
2103 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2105 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2107 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2108 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2109 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2111 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2112 and the To: line was missing.
2114 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2116 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2118 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2120 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2121 watch the POP transaction.
2123 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2124 first, and use it if available.
2126 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2127 first, and use it if available.
2129 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2133 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2134 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2135 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2138 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2139 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2140 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2142 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2143 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2146 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2148 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2149 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2151 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2153 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2154 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2156 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2157 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2158 message to which you are replying.
2160 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2161 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2162 making group replies.
2164 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2166 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2168 * Released nmh-0.19.
2170 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2171 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2173 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2174 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2175 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2176 to the end of the man page.
2178 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2179 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2180 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2181 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2182 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2183 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2185 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2188 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2189 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2190 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2192 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2193 the next available number above the message number you wish
2196 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2197 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2199 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2200 file sbr/seq_print.c
2202 * flist will now update the current folder.
2204 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2205 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2206 but now undocumented.
2208 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2211 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2212 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2214 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2216 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2217 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2219 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2221 * Released nmh-0.18.
2223 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2224 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2225 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2227 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2228 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2230 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2231 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2232 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2233 previous public/private status.
2235 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2238 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2241 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2242 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2243 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2245 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2246 take option to determine whether it should get current
2247 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2248 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2250 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2252 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2253 wait for stopped processes.
2255 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2256 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2258 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2260 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2262 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2263 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2265 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2266 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2268 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2269 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2270 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2271 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2273 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2276 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2279 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2281 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2282 the debugging output.
2284 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2285 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2287 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2289 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2291 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2292 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2294 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2296 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2297 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2298 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2299 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2300 in the given sequence.
2302 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2303 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2304 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2305 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2306 subdirectories of a given directory.
2308 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2309 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2310 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2312 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2313 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2315 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2317 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2320 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2321 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2322 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2324 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2325 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2326 are calculated at runtime.
2328 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2330 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2332 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2333 about checking for global mh.profile.
2335 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2336 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2337 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2338 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2339 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2340 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2342 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2343 adding message to folder itself.
2345 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2346 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2347 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2350 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2351 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2354 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2355 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2356 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2358 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2359 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2361 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2362 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2363 code to use it yet).
2365 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2367 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2369 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2370 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2372 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2373 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2375 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2377 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2380 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2395 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2397 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2399 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

2402 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2404 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2405 configuration files.
2407 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2413 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2415 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2416 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2418 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2421 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2422 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2424 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2425 number of refiled message.
2427 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2429 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2430 for return value of wait().
2432 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2434 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2436 * Released nmh-0.16.
2438 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2440 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2442 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2443 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2444 deal with binary messages, yet).
2446 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2448 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2450 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2451 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2452 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2453 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2454 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2455 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2457 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2458 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2460 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2461 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2463 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2464 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2467 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2469 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2471 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2472 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2475 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2478 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2480 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2481 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2482 which used unsigned chars by default.
2484 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2486 * Released nmh-0.15.
2488 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2493 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2495 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2498 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2499 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2500 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2502 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2503 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2505 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2507 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2508 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2510 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2511 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2512 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2513 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2515 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2516 and put in own subroutine.
2518 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2519 and put in own subroutine.
2521 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2522 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2523 refile.c to use new routine.
2525 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2527 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2529 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2532 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2533 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2534 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2536 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2539 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2540 adding message to sequence.
2542 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2543 corresponding file in sbr.
2545 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2548 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2550 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2551 all selected messages from a sequence.
2553 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2554 selected messages to a sequence.
2556 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2559 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2561 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2562 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2564 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2566 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2585 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2586 environment variable.
2588 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2589 draft folder facility in nmh.

2603 * Released nmh-0.13.
2605 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2606 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2607 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2608 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2611 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2612 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2614 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2616 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2617 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2619 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2621 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2638 mp->attrstats with macros.
2640 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2643 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2646 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2647 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2649 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2650 will suppress the display of the message header.
2652 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2654 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2655 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2657 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2659 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2661 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2663 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2664 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2666 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2667 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.

2671 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2673 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2674 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2676 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2677 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2679 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * Released nmh-0.10.

2688 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2690 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2691 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2693 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2694 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2696 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2699 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2701 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2702 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2704 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2729 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2731 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2732 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2734 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2736 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2737 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2739 * Released nmh-0.08.
2741 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2742 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2743 locking database itself.

2747 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2749 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2750 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2753 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2754 rather than mmdf format.
2756 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2757 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2758 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2759 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2761 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2763 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2765 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2768 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2769 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2770 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2772 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2773 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2774 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2776 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2779 can still easily change this in config.h).
2781 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2782 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2783 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2785 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2787 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2799 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2801 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2802 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2804 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2805 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2808 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2809 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2811 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2812 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2814 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2816 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2818 * Added configure check for tzset.
2820 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Released nmh-0.06.
2824 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2825 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2827 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2828 many such machines around anymore.
2830 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2831 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2833 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2834 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2836 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2839 pre-generated version if necessary.
2841 * Released nmh-0.05.
2843 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2844 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2845 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2846 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2848 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2849 be linked in one pass.
2851 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2853 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2854 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2856 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2858 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2860 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2863 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2864 become the current folder.
2866 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * Released nmh-0.04.
2870 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have

2875 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2876 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2877 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2879 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2881 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2882 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2884 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2886 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2887 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2890 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2891 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2893 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2895 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2896 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2897 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2898 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2899 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2900 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2902 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2904 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2905 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2907 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2908 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2910 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2912 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2913 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2915 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2917 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2918 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2919 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2921 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2923 * Released nmh-0.03.
2925 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2926 .mh_sequence file existed.
2928 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2929 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2931 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2932 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2935 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2937 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2940 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2942 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2943 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2944 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2946 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2948 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2949 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2950 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2952 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2955 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2957 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2959 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2961 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2962 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2963 directory from where the source code is located.
2965 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2967 * Released nmh-0.02.
2969 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2974 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2976 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2977 and sys_nerr directly.
2979 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2981 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2983 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2985 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2987 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2988 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2989 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2990 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2991 rather than in script.
2993 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2995 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2997 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2998 macro defined on Solaris.
3000 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3002 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3003 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3005 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3006 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3007 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3008 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3011 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3014 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3016 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3019 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3021 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3023 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3024 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3026 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3028 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3029 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3031 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3034 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3035 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3036 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3037 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3038 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3040 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3042 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3044 * Released nmh-0.01.
3046 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3047 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3048 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3051 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3056 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3059 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3061 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3064 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3065 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3066 script to find_program.
3068 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3070 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3071 speed up -recurse option.
3073 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3074 yet, but it compiles :-)
3076 * Changed default location for install to
3077 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3078 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3079 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3082 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3083 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3084 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
