1 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
4 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
6 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
8 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
11 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
13 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
14 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
15 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
16 following done() (should never be reached).
18 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
20 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
21 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
23 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
25 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
26 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
28 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
30 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
31 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
32 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
33 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
34 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
35 acconfig.h if you must.
37 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
39 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
40 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
41 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
42 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
44 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
46 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
49 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
51 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
52 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
53 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
54 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
55 have Content-Disposition.
57 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
59 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
62 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
64 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
65 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
67 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
69 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
70 encoded block is empty
72 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
74 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
75 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
76 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
79 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
81 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
82 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
85 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
87 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
88 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
89 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
90 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
93 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
94 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
96 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
98 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
99 function num_digits into utils.c
101 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
103 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
104 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
105 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
107 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
109 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
110 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
111 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
112 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
113 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
114 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
115 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
116 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
118 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
120 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
121 Content-Disposition header.
123 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
125 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
126 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
127 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
128 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
129 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
130 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
131 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
132 users to easily accomodate that by adding
133 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
135 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
137 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
138 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
140 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
142 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
144 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
145 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
147 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
148 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
150 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
152 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
153 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
154 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
155 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
156 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
159 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
161 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
162 widths, restoring right justification feature
164 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
166 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
167 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
168 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
170 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
173 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
175 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
176 handling multi column characters.
178 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
180 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
182 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
184 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
185 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
188 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
190 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
192 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
194 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
197 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
199 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
202 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
204 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
205 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
206 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
207 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
209 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
211 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
212 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
213 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
214 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
215 where configure's autodetection fails.
217 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
219 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
220 configure script change.
222 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
224 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
225 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
226 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
229 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
231 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
232 the context is only read once.
234 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
236 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
237 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
239 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
241 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
242 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
244 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
245 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
248 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
249 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
252 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
254 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
255 vi isn't found during build.
257 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
259 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
260 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
262 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
263 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
264 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
266 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
268 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
269 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
271 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
272 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
273 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
274 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
277 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
278 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
279 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
281 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
282 entry in the context file.
284 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
286 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
287 problems on some systems
289 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
290 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
292 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
294 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
295 sendmail isn't found during build.
297 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
299 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
301 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
303 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
304 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
306 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
307 references to the web page and mailing list locations
309 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
310 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
312 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
315 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
317 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
318 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
319 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
321 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
322 was configured with --enable-apop.
324 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
325 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
326 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
328 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
329 new versions of flex.
331 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
332 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
333 doesn't guess wrongly.
335 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
337 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
338 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
340 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
341 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
343 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
344 files with numbers as names
346 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
348 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
350 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
352 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
354 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
355 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
357 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
359 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
362 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
363 test/report error writing to stdout
365 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
367 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
369 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
370 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
371 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
373 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
374 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
375 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
377 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
379 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
380 character set used by the current locale
382 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
383 message's filename overflows an int when converted
385 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
386 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
388 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
390 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
393 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
395 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
396 from Michael Richardson.
398 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
399 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
401 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
403 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
404 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
406 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
408 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
409 find sub-parts of the specified part
411 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
413 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
414 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
415 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
416 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
417 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
418 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
419 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
422 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
424 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
425 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
426 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
429 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
430 refiling with -src option.
432 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
434 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
436 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
438 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
439 mailpath being overwritten.
441 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
443 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
444 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
445 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
446 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
447 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
448 reinitializes the tmp file string.
450 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
451 if a format string was read from the profile.
453 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
454 path for the external hook.
456 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
458 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
459 another location for ndbm.
461 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
463 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
465 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
467 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
470 136976 - Handle binary content messages
471 143427 - mh-format.man typo
472 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
473 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
474 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
475 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
476 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
477 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
478 181867 - typo for nmh.man
480 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
482 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
483 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
484 contitional code which will result in cached data to
485 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
486 and parse on the first use.
487 * Remove some unused flag bits.
489 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
491 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
492 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
494 #578 - repl leaks umask
495 #1393 - sortm core dumps
496 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
497 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
498 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
500 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
501 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
503 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
505 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
506 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
508 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
510 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
511 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
512 to docs/README.about.
514 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
516 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
518 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
519 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
520 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
521 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
524 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
526 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
527 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
528 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
529 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
530 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
531 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
534 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
535 summary configure prints out.
537 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
538 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
539 subjectively more readable) format.
541 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
543 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
546 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
548 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
549 19xx when it's not necessary.
551 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
553 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
554 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
557 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
558 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
559 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
560 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
561 the man pages correctly.
563 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
565 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
567 * Finished manpages ali-prev
569 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
570 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
571 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
574 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
575 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
576 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
577 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
579 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
581 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
582 the formatting rules I've been using.
586 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
588 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
589 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
590 used in the manpages.
592 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
593 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
594 read in the contents of the file as the variable
597 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
598 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
599 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
600 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
601 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
602 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
603 bold flags and italicized parameters.
605 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
607 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
608 --with-locking option.
610 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
611 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
612 information was not being communicated to the
613 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
614 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
615 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
616 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
617 undefined symbols problems.
619 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
620 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
621 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
622 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
623 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
624 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
625 for a genuine krb4 installation.
627 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
629 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
630 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
632 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
634 * Made a new ./configure option called
635 "--with-locking" that allows the file
636 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
637 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
639 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
640 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
641 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
642 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
643 the user that these are the valid options, and
644 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
647 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
649 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
650 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
651 committed to supporting flex only, since
652 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
653 string, as well as other problems documented
654 below and on nmh-workers.
656 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
657 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
658 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
661 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
662 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
664 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
666 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
667 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
668 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
670 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
672 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
673 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
675 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
677 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
678 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
679 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
680 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
681 couldn't correctly identify them.
683 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
685 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
686 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
687 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
688 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
689 not depending on an external archive.
691 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
692 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
693 mts/generic is no longer built.
695 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
697 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
698 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
699 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
700 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
701 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
702 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
703 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
704 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
706 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
708 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
709 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
712 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
714 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
715 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
716 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
719 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
720 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
721 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
722 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
724 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
725 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
726 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
727 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
728 merged into the smtp code).
730 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
731 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
732 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
735 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
736 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
737 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
738 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
739 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
740 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
741 in the appropriate Makefile.in
743 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
745 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
746 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
747 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
748 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
749 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
750 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
751 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
752 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
753 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
754 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
755 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
757 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
759 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
760 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
761 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
762 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
763 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
764 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
765 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
766 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
767 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
769 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
771 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
772 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
775 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
777 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
778 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
780 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
782 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
783 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
784 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
785 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
787 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
789 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
790 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
791 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
792 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
793 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
795 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
796 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
798 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
800 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
802 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
803 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
804 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
805 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
807 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
808 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
809 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
810 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
812 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
813 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
814 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
815 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
817 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
818 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
819 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
821 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
823 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
824 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
825 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
826 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
827 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
828 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
831 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
832 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
834 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
835 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
837 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
839 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
841 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
843 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
844 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
845 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
846 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
848 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
850 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
851 be easily changed from "," to "#".
853 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
855 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
857 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
858 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
861 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
863 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
864 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
865 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
866 but not for the subsequent data stream.
868 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
870 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
871 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
872 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
873 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
874 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
876 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
878 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
879 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
881 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
882 cat, also define lorder as echo.
884 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
886 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
888 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
889 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
890 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
892 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
894 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
897 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
898 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
900 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
902 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
903 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
905 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
907 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
908 inc does not need to be setgid.
910 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
912 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
913 library, as found on Debian systems.
915 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
917 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
919 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
920 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
921 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
922 case-insensitivity flag.
924 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
926 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
927 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
929 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
931 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
932 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
933 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
934 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
935 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
936 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
937 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
938 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
939 getting moved aside).
941 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
942 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
944 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
946 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
947 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
948 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
949 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
950 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
951 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
952 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
953 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
954 the prototype, but never sets it.
956 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
957 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
958 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
959 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
960 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
961 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
963 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
964 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
965 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
966 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
967 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
969 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
971 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
972 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
975 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
976 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
977 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
978 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
979 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
980 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
981 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
983 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
985 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
987 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
988 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
989 this works on other systems.
991 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
993 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
994 checks for write failures.
996 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
998 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1000 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1003 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1005 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1007 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1009 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1010 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1013 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1015 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1016 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1017 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1018 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1020 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1022 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1023 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1026 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1027 as well as Makefiles.
1029 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1031 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1032 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1033 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1034 should make maintainability easier.
1036 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1037 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1038 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1039 whatever you know works.
1041 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1043 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1044 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1045 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1047 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1048 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1049 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1050 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1052 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1053 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1054 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1056 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1057 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1058 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1059 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1060 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1062 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1063 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1064 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1065 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1066 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1067 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1068 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1069 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1070 from the BSD version.
1072 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1073 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1074 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1076 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1077 in ruserpass.c also.
1079 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1082 This happens on solaris:
1085 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1086 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1090 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1092 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1093 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1095 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1097 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1098 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1099 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1100 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1101 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1102 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1103 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1104 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1105 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1106 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1107 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1109 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1110 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1111 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1112 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1113 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1114 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1117 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1118 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1119 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1120 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1121 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1123 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1124 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1126 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1128 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1129 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1130 to stdin, such as exmh.
1132 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1133 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1134 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1137 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1139 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1140 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1141 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1142 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1143 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1144 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1145 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1147 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1149 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1150 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1152 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1154 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1155 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1157 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1159 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1162 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1163 along with any -host or -user option.
1165 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1169 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1170 process was fresh in my mind.
1172 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1174 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1175 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1177 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1179 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1181 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1184 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1185 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1186 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1187 part of the program's name.
1189 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1190 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1193 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1195 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1196 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1197 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1198 single-character format would cause programs using this
1199 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1200 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1201 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1202 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1205 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1207 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1208 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1209 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1210 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1211 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1212 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1214 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1215 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1216 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1217 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1218 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1219 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1220 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1221 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1223 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1224 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1225 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1226 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1227 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1228 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1229 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1230 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1231 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1232 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1234 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1236 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1237 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1239 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1240 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1242 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1247 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1249 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1250 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1251 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1252 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1254 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1255 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1256 problem in the routine.
1258 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1260 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1261 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1263 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1264 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1265 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1268 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1270 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1271 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1272 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1273 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1274 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1275 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1276 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1277 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1278 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1279 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1281 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1283 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1284 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1285 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1286 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1287 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1288 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1289 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1290 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1291 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1292 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1293 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1294 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1296 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1297 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1298 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1299 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1300 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1302 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1305 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1307 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1308 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1309 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1310 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1313 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1315 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1317 * Applied, after some finessing,
1318 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1320 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1322 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1324 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1325 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1326 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1327 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1329 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1331 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1332 forgetting to do so!).
1334 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1335 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1336 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1337 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1338 arguments to enable all three types.
1340 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1341 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1343 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1344 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1345 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1346 updated copy of mts.conf.
1348 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1350 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1351 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1352 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1354 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1356 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1358 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1359 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1360 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1362 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1363 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1364 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1366 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1367 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1368 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1370 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1372 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1374 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1376 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1378 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1379 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1381 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1382 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1383 certain suffix to run properly.
1385 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1386 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1387 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1389 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1390 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1391 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1392 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1393 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1394 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1395 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1397 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1399 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1400 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1401 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1402 until some year far in the future).
1404 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1406 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1408 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1409 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1411 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1412 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1415 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1417 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1418 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1419 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1420 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1421 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1422 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1424 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1426 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1428 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1429 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1430 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1432 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1433 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1434 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1435 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1436 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1437 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1440 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1441 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1442 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1443 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1444 of masquerading individually.
1446 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1447 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1448 GECOS field delimiters.
1450 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1452 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1453 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1454 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1455 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1456 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1457 and explaining the feature.
1459 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1461 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1462 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1465 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1466 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1467 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1469 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1470 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1471 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1472 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1474 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1475 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1476 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1479 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1481 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1482 code to be executed.
1484 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1486 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1488 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1489 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1490 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1491 quotes embedded in them.
1493 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1495 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1496 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1497 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1498 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1499 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1500 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1501 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1504 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1505 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1506 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1507 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1508 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1510 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1512 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1514 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1515 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1516 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1517 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1519 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1522 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1524 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1526 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1528 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1529 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1530 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1532 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1535 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1537 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1538 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1539 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1540 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1541 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1542 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1544 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1545 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1547 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1549 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1552 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1554 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1555 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1556 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1559 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1560 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1561 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1562 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1563 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1564 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1565 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1566 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1567 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1568 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1569 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1570 processing that post has).
1572 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1574 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1575 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1576 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1577 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1578 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1579 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1582 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1584 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1586 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1588 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1590 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1591 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1593 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1596 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1598 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1599 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1600 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1603 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1605 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1606 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1607 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1608 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1609 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1610 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1612 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1614 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1616 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1618 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1619 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1620 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1621 caught again. This works for now.
1623 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1625 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1627 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1628 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1630 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1632 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1633 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1635 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1637 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1639 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1641 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1642 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1644 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1646 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1647 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1648 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1649 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1650 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1653 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1655 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1656 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1657 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1659 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1660 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1663 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1665 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1666 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1667 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1669 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1671 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1672 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1674 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1676 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1679 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1680 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1682 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1683 macros, regardless of platform.
1685 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1686 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1688 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1689 with x-conversions=gzip.
1691 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1693 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1696 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1697 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1698 implicit definition of ioctl().
1700 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1701 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1702 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1703 want to mess with them.
1705 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1707 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1708 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1710 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1711 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1713 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1714 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1715 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1717 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1718 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1719 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1721 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1722 function initgroups.
1724 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1727 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1728 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1731 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1732 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1735 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1736 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1740 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1742 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1743 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1744 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1746 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1747 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1749 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1751 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1753 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1754 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1755 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1756 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1758 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1759 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1761 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1763 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1765 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1767 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1768 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1770 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1772 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1773 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1775 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1776 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1777 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1778 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1780 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1781 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1783 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1785 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1786 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1788 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1790 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1791 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1794 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1796 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1798 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1800 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1801 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1803 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1804 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1805 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1807 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1808 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1809 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1811 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1812 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1813 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1815 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1816 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1819 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1820 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1822 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1823 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1825 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1826 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1828 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1829 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1830 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1832 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1833 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1835 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1836 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1837 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1839 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1840 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1843 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1844 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1846 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1847 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1848 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1849 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1851 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1852 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1854 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1858 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1859 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1860 would not be changed.
1862 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1863 one from the Apache web server.
1865 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1866 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1868 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1869 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1870 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1872 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1874 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1876 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1877 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1880 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1881 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1882 removes a bad race condition.
1884 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1887 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1888 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1889 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1891 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1892 sequence information.
1894 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1895 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1897 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1900 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1903 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1905 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1906 interpret 034 as octal.
1908 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1910 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1911 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1913 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1914 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1916 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1917 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1919 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1920 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1922 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1923 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1925 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1926 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1927 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1929 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1930 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1931 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1933 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1935 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1937 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1938 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1941 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1943 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1944 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1946 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1947 header field information.
1949 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1950 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1952 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1953 values when parsing a content.
1955 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1956 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1958 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1959 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1961 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1962 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1964 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1965 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1967 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1969 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1971 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1973 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1975 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1976 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1979 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1980 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1982 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1983 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1984 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1985 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1986 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1987 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1990 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1992 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1993 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1994 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1996 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1997 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1999 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2001 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2002 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2003 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2004 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2006 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2007 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2010 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2011 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2012 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2013 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2016 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2018 * Released nmh-0.27.
2020 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2021 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2023 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2024 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2025 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2026 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2029 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2030 mhbuild returns an error.
2032 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2033 rename the draft file.
2035 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2036 use a global variable.
2038 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2039 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2041 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2042 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2044 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2045 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2046 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2048 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2049 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2051 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2052 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2055 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2056 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2059 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2060 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2062 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2063 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2064 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2066 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2067 to new function output_content_folder.
2069 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2070 new function output_content_file.
2072 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2073 to new function parse_format_string.
2075 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2076 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2077 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2078 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2080 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2081 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2082 message/external file from ftp.
2084 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2085 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2086 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2088 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2089 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2092 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2095 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2096 new file mhstoresbr.c
2098 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2101 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2102 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2104 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2105 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2107 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2108 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2109 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2111 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2113 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2115 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2116 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2119 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2120 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2122 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2125 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2127 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2129 * Released nmh-0.26.
2131 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2132 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2133 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2134 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2136 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2137 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2138 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2139 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2140 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2142 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2143 But it is not on by default.
2145 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2146 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2148 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2150 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2152 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2154 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2156 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2157 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2159 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2161 * Released nmh-0.25.
2163 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2164 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2165 uses the original name of the library.
2167 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2168 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2171 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2172 list_content and list_debug.
2174 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2176 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2177 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.

2181 * Released nmh-0.24.
2183 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2185 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2186 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2188 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2189 large sequence line.

2195 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2197 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2198 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2199 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2200 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2202 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2203 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2206 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2208 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2210 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2212 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2213 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2215 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2216 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2218 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2219 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2221 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)

2243 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2244 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2246 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2248 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2249 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2250 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2252 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2253 source message on the standard input.
2255 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2257 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2258 rather than -rfc934mode.
2260 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2261 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2264 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2265 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2267 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2270 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2272 * Released nmh-0.21.
2274 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2275 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2277 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2280 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2281 to use for text contents.
2283 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2285 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2287 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2289 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2291 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2292 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2294 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2295 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2296 spaces between encoded word are.
2298 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2300 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2301 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2303 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2304 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2305 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2307 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2309 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2310 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2312 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2314 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.

2317 ISO-8859-X character set.
2319 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2322 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2323 permissions, not write permissions.
2325 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2326 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2328 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2331 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2333 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2335 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2336 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2338 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2339 message contains valid character set.
2341 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2342 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2344 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2345 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2347 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2348 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2349 between an encoded word and normal text.
2351 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2352 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2354 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2355 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2357 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2360 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2361 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2364 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2365 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2367 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2368 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2370 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2372 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2374 * Released nmh-0.20.
2376 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2378 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2380 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2381 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2382 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2384 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2385 and the To: line was missing.
2387 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2389 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2393 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2394 watch the POP transaction.
2396 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2397 first, and use it if available.
2399 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2400 first, and use it if available.
2402 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2404 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2406 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2407 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2408 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2411 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2412 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2413 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2415 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2416 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2419 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2421 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2422 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2424 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2426 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2427 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2429 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2430 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2431 message to which you are replying.
2433 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2434 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2435 making group replies.
2437 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2439 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2441 * Released nmh-0.19.
2443 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2444 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2446 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2447 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2448 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2449 to the end of the man page.
2451 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2452 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2453 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2454 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2455 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2456 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2458 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2461 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2462 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2463 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2465 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2466 the next available number above the message number you wish
2469 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2470 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2472 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2473 file sbr/seq_print.c
2475 * flist will now update the current folder.
2477 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2478 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2479 but now undocumented.
2481 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2484 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2485 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2487 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2489 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2490 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2492 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2494 * Released nmh-0.18.
2496 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2497 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2498 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2500 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2501 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2503 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2504 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2505 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2506 previous public/private status.
2508 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2511 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2514 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2515 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2516 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2518 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2519 take option to determine whether it should get current
2520 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2521 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2523 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2525 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2526 wait for stopped processes.
2528 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2529 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2531 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2535 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2536 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2538 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2539 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2541 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2542 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2543 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2544 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2546 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2549 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2552 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2554 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2555 the debugging output.
2557 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2558 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2560 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2562 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2564 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2565 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2567 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2569 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2570 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2571 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2572 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2573 in the given sequence.
2575 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2576 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2577 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2578 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2579 subdirectories of a given directory.
2581 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2582 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2583 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2585 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2586 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2588 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2590 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2593 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2594 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2595 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2597 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2598 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2599 are calculated at runtime.
2601 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2605 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2606 about checking for global mh.profile.
2608 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2609 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2610 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2611 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2612 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2613 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2615 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2616 adding message to folder itself.
2618 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2619 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2620 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2623 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2624 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2627 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2628 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2629 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2631 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2632 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2634 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2635 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2636 code to use it yet).
2638 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2640 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2642 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2643 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2645 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2646 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2648 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2650 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2653 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2657 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2659 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2661 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2662 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2664 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2666 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2668 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2670 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2672 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2674 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2675 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2677 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2678 configuration files.
2680 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2682 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Released nmh-0.17.
2686 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2688 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2689 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2691 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2694 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2695 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2697 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2698 number of refiled message.
2700 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2702 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2703 for return value of wait().
2705 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2707 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2709 * Released nmh-0.16.
2711 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2713 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2715 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2716 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2717 deal with binary messages, yet).
2719 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2721 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2723 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2724 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2725 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2726 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2727 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2728 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2730 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2731 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2733 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2734 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2736 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2737 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2740 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2742 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2744 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2745 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2748 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2751 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2753 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2754 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2755 which used unsigned chars by default.
2757 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2759 * Released nmh-0.15.
2761 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2762 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2764 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2766 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2768 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2771 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2772 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2773 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2775 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2776 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2778 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2780 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2781 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2783 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2784 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2785 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2786 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2788 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2789 and put in own subroutine.
2791 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2792 and put in own subroutine.
2794 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2795 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2796 refile.c to use new routine.
2798 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2800 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2802 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2805 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2806 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2807 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2809 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2812 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2813 adding message to sequence.
2815 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2816 corresponding file in sbr.
2818 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2821 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2823 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2824 all selected messages from a sequence.

2923 will suppress the display of the message header.
2925 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2927 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2944 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2946 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2947 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2949 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

3012 * Released nmh-0.08.
3014 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3015 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

3023 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3026 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3027 rather than mmdf format.
3029 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3030 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3031 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3032 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3034 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3036 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3041 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3042 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3043 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3045 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3046 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3047 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3049 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3051 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3052 can still easily change this in config.h).
3054 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3055 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3056 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3058 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3060 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3075 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3077 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3078 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3081 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3082 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3095 * Released nmh-0.06.
3097 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3098 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3100 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3101 many such machines around anymore.
3103 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3104 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3106 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3107 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3109 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3111 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3112 pre-generated version if necessary.
3114 * Released nmh-0.05.
3116 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3117 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3118 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3119 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3121 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3122 be linked in one pass.
3124 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3126 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3127 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3129 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3131 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3133 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3136 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3137 become the current folder.
3139 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3141 * Released nmh-0.04.

3146 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3148 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3149 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3150 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3152 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3154 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3155 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3157 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3160 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3163 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3164 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3166 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3169 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3170 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3171 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3172 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3173 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3175 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3177 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3178 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3180 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3181 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3183 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3185 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3186 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3188 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3190 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3191 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3192 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3194 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3196 * Released nmh-0.03.
3198 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3199 .mh_sequence file existed.
3201 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3202 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3204 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3205 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3208 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3210 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3213 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3215 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3216 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3217 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3219 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3221 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3222 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3223 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3225 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3227 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3228 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3230 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3232 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3234 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3235 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3236 directory from where the source code is located.
3238 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3240 * Released nmh-0.02.

3260 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3261 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3262 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3263 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3264 rather than in script.
3266 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3268 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3270 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3271 macro defined on Solaris.

3275 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3276 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3278 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3279 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3280 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3281 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3284 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3286 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3287 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3289 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3292 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3294 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3296 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3297 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3299 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3301 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3302 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3304 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3306 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3307 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3308 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3309 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3310 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3311 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3313 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3315 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3317 * Released nmh-0.01.
3319 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3320 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3321 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3324 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3326 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3329 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3331 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3332 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3334 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3336 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3337 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3338 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3339 script to find_program.
3341 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3343 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3344 speed up -recurse option.
3346 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3347 yet, but it compiles :-)
3349 * Changed default location for install to
3350 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3351 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3352 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3355 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3356 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3357 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
