3 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
4 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
5 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
6 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
8 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
10 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
11 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
12 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
13 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
14 where configure's autodetection fails.
16 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
18 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
19 configure script change.
21 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
23 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
24 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
25 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
28 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
30 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
31 the context is only read once.
33 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
35 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
36 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
38 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
40 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
41 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
43 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
44 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
47 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
48 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
51 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
53 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
54 vi isn't found during build.
56 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
58 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
59 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
61 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
62 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
63 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
65 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
67 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
68 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
70 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
71 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
72 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
73 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
76 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
77 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
78 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
80 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
81 entry in the context file.
83 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
85 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
86 problems on some systems
88 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
89 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
91 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
93 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
94 sendmail isn't found during build.
96 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
98 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
100 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
102 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
103 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
105 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
106 references to the web page and mailing list locations
108 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
109 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
111 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
114 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
116 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
117 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
118 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
120 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
121 was configured with --enable-apop.
123 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
124 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
125 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
127 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
128 new versions of flex.
130 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
131 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
132 doesn't guess wrongly.
134 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
136 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
137 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
139 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
140 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
142 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
143 files with numbers as names
145 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
147 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
149 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
151 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
153 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
154 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
156 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
158 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
161 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
162 test/report error writing to stdout
164 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
166 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
168 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
169 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
170 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
172 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
173 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
174 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
176 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
178 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
179 character set used by the current locale
181 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
182 message's filename overflows an int when converted
184 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
185 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
187 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
189 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
192 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
194 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
195 from Michael Richardson.
197 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
198 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
200 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
202 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
203 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
205 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
207 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
208 find sub-parts of the specified part
210 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
212 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
213 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
214 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
215 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
216 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
217 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
218 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
221 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
223 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
224 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
225 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
228 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
229 refiling with -src option.
231 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
233 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
235 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
237 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
238 mailpath being overwritten.
240 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
242 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
243 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
244 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
245 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
246 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
247 reinitializes the tmp file string.
249 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
250 if a format string was read from the profile.
252 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
253 path for the external hook.
255 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
257 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
258 another location for ndbm.
260 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
262 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
264 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
266 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
269 136976 - Handle binary content messages
270 143427 - mh-format.man typo
271 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
272 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
273 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
274 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
275 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
276 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
277 181867 - typo for nmh.man
279 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
281 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
282 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
283 contitional code which will result in cached data to
284 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
285 and parse on the first use.
286 * Remove some unused flag bits.
288 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
290 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
291 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
293 #578 - repl leaks umask
294 #1393 - sortm core dumps
295 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
296 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
297 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
299 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
300 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
302 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
304 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
305 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
307 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
309 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
310 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
311 to docs/README.about.
313 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
317 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
318 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
319 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
320 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
323 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
325 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
326 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
327 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
328 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
329 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
330 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
333 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
334 summary configure prints out.
336 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
337 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
338 subjectively more readable) format.
340 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
342 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
345 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
347 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
348 19xx when it's not necessary.
350 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
352 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
353 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
356 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
357 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
358 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
359 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
360 the man pages correctly.
362 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
364 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
366 * Finished manpages ali-prev
368 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
369 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
370 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
373 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
374 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
375 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
376 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
378 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
380 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
381 the formatting rules I've been using.
385 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
387 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
388 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
389 used in the manpages.
391 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
392 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
393 read in the contents of the file as the variable
396 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
397 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
398 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
399 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
400 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
401 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
402 bold flags and italicized parameters.
404 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
406 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
407 --with-locking option.
409 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
410 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
411 information was not being communicated to the
412 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
413 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
414 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
415 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
416 undefined symbols problems.
418 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
419 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
420 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
421 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
422 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
423 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
424 for a genuine krb4 installation.
426 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
428 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
429 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
431 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
433 * Made a new ./configure option called
434 "--with-locking" that allows the file
435 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
436 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
438 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
439 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
440 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
441 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
442 the user that these are the valid options, and
443 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
446 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
448 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
449 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
450 committed to supporting flex only, since
451 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
452 string, as well as other problems documented
453 below and on nmh-workers.
455 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
456 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
457 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
460 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
461 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
463 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
465 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
466 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
467 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
469 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
471 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
472 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
474 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
476 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
477 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
478 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
479 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
480 couldn't correctly identify them.
482 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
484 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
485 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
486 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
487 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
488 not depending on an external archive.
490 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
491 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
492 mts/generic is no longer built.
494 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
496 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
497 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
498 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
499 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
500 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
501 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
502 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
503 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
505 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
507 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
508 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
511 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
513 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
514 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
515 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
518 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
519 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
520 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
521 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
523 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
524 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
525 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
526 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
527 merged into the smtp code).
529 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
530 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
531 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
534 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
535 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
536 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
537 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
538 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
539 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
540 in the appropriate Makefile.in
542 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
544 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
545 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
546 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
547 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
548 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
549 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
550 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
551 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
552 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
553 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
554 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
556 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
558 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
559 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
560 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
561 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
562 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
563 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
564 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
565 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
566 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
568 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
570 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
571 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
574 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
576 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
577 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
579 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
581 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
582 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
583 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
584 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
586 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
588 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
589 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
590 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
591 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
592 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
594 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
595 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
597 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
599 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
601 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
602 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
603 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
604 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
606 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
607 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
608 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
609 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
611 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
612 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
613 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
614 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
616 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
617 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
618 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
620 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
622 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
623 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
624 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
625 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
626 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
627 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
630 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
631 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
633 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
634 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
636 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
638 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
640 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
642 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
643 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
644 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
645 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
647 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
649 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
650 be easily changed from "," to "#".
652 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
654 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
656 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
657 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
660 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
662 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
663 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
664 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
665 but not for the subsequent data stream.
667 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
669 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
670 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
671 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
672 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
673 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
675 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
677 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
678 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
680 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
681 cat, also define lorder as echo.
683 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
685 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
687 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
688 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
689 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
691 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
693 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
696 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
697 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
699 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
701 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
702 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
704 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
706 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
707 inc does not need to be setgid.
709 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
711 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
712 library, as found on Debian systems.
714 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
716 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
718 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
719 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
720 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
721 case-insensitivity flag.
723 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
725 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
726 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
728 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
730 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
731 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
732 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
733 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
734 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
735 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
736 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
737 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
738 getting moved aside).
740 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
741 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
743 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
745 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
746 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
747 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
748 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
749 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
750 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
751 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
752 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
753 the prototype, but never sets it.
755 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
756 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
757 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
758 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
759 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
760 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
762 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
763 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
764 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
765 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
766 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
768 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
770 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
771 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
774 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
775 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
776 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
777 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
778 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
779 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
780 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
782 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
784 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
786 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
787 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
788 this works on other systems.
790 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
792 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
793 checks for write failures.
795 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
797 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
799 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
802 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
804 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
806 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
808 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
809 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
812 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
814 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
815 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
816 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
817 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
819 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
821 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
822 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
825 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
826 as well as Makefiles.
828 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
830 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
831 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
832 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
833 should make maintainability easier.
835 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
836 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
837 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
838 whatever you know works.
840 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
842 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
843 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
844 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
846 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
847 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
848 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
849 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
851 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
852 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
853 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
855 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
856 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
857 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
858 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
859 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
861 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
862 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
863 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
864 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
865 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
866 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
867 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
868 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
869 from the BSD version.
871 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
872 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
873 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
875 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
878 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
881 This happens on solaris:
884 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
885 No manual entry for mts.conf.
889 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
891 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
892 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
894 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
896 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
897 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
898 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
899 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
900 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
901 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
902 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
903 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
904 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
905 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
906 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
908 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
909 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
910 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
911 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
912 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
913 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
916 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
917 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
918 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
919 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
920 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
922 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
923 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
925 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
927 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
928 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
929 to stdin, such as exmh.
931 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
932 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
933 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
936 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
938 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
939 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
940 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
941 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
942 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
943 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
944 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
946 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
948 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
949 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
951 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
954 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
956 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
958 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
961 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
962 along with any -host or -user option.
964 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
966 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
968 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
969 process was fresh in my mind.
971 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
974 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
976 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
978 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
980 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
983 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
984 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
985 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
986 part of the program's name.
988 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
989 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
992 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
994 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
995 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
996 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
997 single-character format would cause programs using this
998 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
999 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1000 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1001 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1004 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1006 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1007 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1008 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1009 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1010 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1011 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1013 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1014 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1015 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1016 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1017 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1018 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1019 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1020 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1022 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1023 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1024 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1025 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1026 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1027 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1028 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1029 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1030 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1031 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1033 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1035 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1036 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1038 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1039 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1041 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1046 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1048 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1049 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1050 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1051 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1053 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1054 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1055 problem in the routine.
1057 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1059 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1060 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1062 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1063 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1064 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1067 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1069 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1070 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1071 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1072 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1073 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1074 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1075 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1076 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1077 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1078 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1080 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1083 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1084 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1085 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1086 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1087 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1088 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1089 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1090 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1091 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1092 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1093 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1095 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1096 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1097 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1098 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1099 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1101 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1104 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1106 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1107 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1108 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1109 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1112 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1114 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1116 * Applied, after some finessing,
1117 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1119 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1121 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1123 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1124 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1125 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1126 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1128 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1130 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1131 forgetting to do so!).
1133 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1134 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1135 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1136 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1137 arguments to enable all three types.
1139 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1140 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1142 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1143 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1144 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1145 updated copy of mts.conf.
1147 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1149 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1150 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1151 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1153 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1155 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1157 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1158 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1159 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1161 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1162 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1163 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1165 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1166 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1167 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1169 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1171 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1173 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1175 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1177 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1178 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1180 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1181 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1182 certain suffix to run properly.
1184 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1185 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1186 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1188 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1189 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1190 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1191 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1192 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1193 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1194 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1196 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1198 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1199 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1200 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1201 until some year far in the future).
1203 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1205 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1207 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1208 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1210 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1211 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1214 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1216 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1217 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1218 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1219 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1220 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1221 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1223 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1225 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1227 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1228 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1229 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1231 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1232 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1233 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1234 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1235 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1236 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1239 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1240 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1241 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1242 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1243 of masquerading individually.
1245 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1246 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1247 GECOS field delimiters.
1249 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1251 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1252 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1253 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1254 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1255 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1256 and explaining the feature.
1258 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1261 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1264 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1265 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1266 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1268 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1269 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1270 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1271 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1273 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1274 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1275 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1278 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1280 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1281 code to be executed.
1283 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1285 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1288 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1289 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1290 quotes embedded in them.
1292 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1294 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1295 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1296 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1297 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1298 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1299 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1300 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1303 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1304 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1305 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1306 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1307 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1309 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1311 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1313 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1314 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1315 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1316 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1318 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1321 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1323 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1325 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1327 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1328 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1329 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1331 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1334 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1336 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1337 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1338 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1339 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1340 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1341 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1343 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1344 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1346 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1348 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1351 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1353 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1354 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1355 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1358 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1359 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1360 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1361 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1362 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1363 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1364 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1365 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1366 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1367 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1368 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1369 processing that post has).
1371 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1373 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1374 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1375 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1376 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1377 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1378 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1381 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1383 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1385 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1387 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1389 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1390 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1392 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1395 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1397 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1398 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1399 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1402 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1404 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1405 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1406 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1407 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1408 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1409 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1411 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1413 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1415 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1417 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1418 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1419 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1420 caught again. This works for now.
1422 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1424 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1426 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1427 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1429 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1431 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1432 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1434 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1436 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1438 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1440 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1441 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1443 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1445 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1446 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1447 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1448 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1449 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1452 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1454 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1455 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1456 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1458 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1459 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1462 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1464 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1465 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1466 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1468 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1470 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1471 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1473 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1475 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1478 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1479 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1481 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1482 macros, regardless of platform.
1484 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1485 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1487 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1488 with x-conversions=gzip.
1490 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1492 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1495 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1496 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1497 implicit definition of ioctl().
1499 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1500 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1501 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1502 want to mess with them.
1504 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1506 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1507 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1509 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1510 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1512 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1513 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1514 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1516 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1517 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1518 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1520 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1521 function initgroups.
1523 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1526 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1527 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1530 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1531 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1534 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1535 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1539 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1541 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1542 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1543 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1545 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1546 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1548 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1550 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1552 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1553 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1554 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1555 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1557 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1558 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1560 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1562 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1564 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1566 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1567 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1569 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1571 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1572 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1574 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1575 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1576 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1577 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1579 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1580 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1582 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1584 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1585 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1587 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1589 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1590 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1593 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1595 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1597 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1599 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1600 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1602 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1603 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1604 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1606 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1607 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1608 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1610 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1611 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1612 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1614 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1615 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1618 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1619 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1621 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1622 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1624 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1625 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1627 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1628 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1629 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1631 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1632 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1634 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1635 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1636 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1638 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1639 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1642 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1643 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1645 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1646 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1647 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1648 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1650 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1651 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1653 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1657 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1658 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1659 would not be changed.
1661 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1662 one from the Apache web server.
1664 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1665 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1667 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1668 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1669 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1671 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1673 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1675 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1676 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1679 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1680 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1681 removes a bad race condition.
1683 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1686 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1687 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1688 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1690 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1691 sequence information.
1693 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1694 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1696 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1699 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1702 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1704 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1705 interpret 034 as octal.
1707 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1709 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1710 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1712 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1713 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1715 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1716 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1718 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1719 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1721 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1722 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1724 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1725 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1726 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1728 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1729 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1730 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1732 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1734 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1736 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1737 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1740 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1742 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1743 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1745 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1746 header field information.
1748 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1749 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1751 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1752 values when parsing a content.
1754 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1755 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1757 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1758 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1760 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1761 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1763 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1764 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1766 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1768 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1770 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1772 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1774 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1775 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1778 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1779 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1781 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1782 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1783 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1784 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1785 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1786 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1789 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1791 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1792 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1793 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1795 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1796 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1798 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1800 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1801 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1802 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1803 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1805 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1806 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1809 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1810 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1811 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1812 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1815 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1817 * Released nmh-0.27.
1819 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1820 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1822 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1823 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1824 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1825 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1828 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1829 mhbuild returns an error.
1831 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1832 rename the draft file.
1834 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1835 use a global variable.
1837 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1838 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1840 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1841 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1843 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1844 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1845 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1847 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1848 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1850 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1851 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1854 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1855 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1858 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1859 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1861 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1862 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1863 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1865 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1866 to new function output_content_folder.
1868 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1869 new function output_content_file.
1871 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1872 to new function parse_format_string.
1874 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1875 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1876 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1877 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1879 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1880 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1881 message/external file from ftp.
1883 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1884 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1885 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1887 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1888 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1891 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1894 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1895 new file mhstoresbr.c
1897 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1900 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1901 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1903 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1904 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1906 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1907 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1908 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1910 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1912 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1914 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1915 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1918 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1919 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1921 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1924 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1926 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928 * Released nmh-0.26.
1930 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1931 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1932 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1933 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1935 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1936 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1937 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1938 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1939 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1941 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1942 But it is not on by default.
1944 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1945 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1947 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1949 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1951 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1953 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1955 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1956 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1958 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1960 * Released nmh-0.25.
1962 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1963 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1964 uses the original name of the library.
1966 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1967 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1970 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1971 list_content and list_debug.
1973 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1975 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1976 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1978 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1980 * Released nmh-0.24.
1982 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1984 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1985 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1987 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1988 large sequence line.
1990 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1992 * Released nmh-0.23.
1994 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1996 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1997 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1998 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1999 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2001 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2002 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2005 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2007 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2009 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2011 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2012 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2014 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2015 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2017 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2018 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2020 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2021 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2023 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2025 * Released nmh-0.22.
2027 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2028 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2030 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2032 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2033 mh-profile(5) man page.
2035 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2036 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2038 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2040 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2042 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2043 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2045 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2047 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2048 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2049 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2051 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2052 source message on the standard input.
2054 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2056 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2057 rather than -rfc934mode.
2059 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2060 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2063 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2064 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2066 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2069 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2071 * Released nmh-0.21.
2073 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2074 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2076 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2079 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2080 to use for text contents.
2082 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2084 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2086 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2088 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2090 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2091 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2093 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2094 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2095 spaces between encoded word are.
2097 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2099 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2100 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2102 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2103 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2104 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2106 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2108 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2109 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2111 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2113 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2115 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2116 ISO-8859-X character set.
2118 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2121 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2122 permissions, not write permissions.
2124 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2125 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2127 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2130 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2132 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2134 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2135 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2137 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2138 message contains valid character set.
2140 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2141 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2143 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2144 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2146 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2147 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2148 between an encoded word and normal text.
2150 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2151 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2153 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2154 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2156 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2159 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2160 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2163 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2164 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2166 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2167 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2169 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2171 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2173 * Released nmh-0.20.
2175 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2177 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2179 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2180 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2181 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2183 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2184 and the To: line was missing.
2186 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2188 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2192 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2193 watch the POP transaction.
2195 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2196 first, and use it if available.
2198 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2199 first, and use it if available.
2201 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2205 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2206 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2207 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2210 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2211 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2212 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2214 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2215 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2218 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2220 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2221 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2223 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2225 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2226 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2228 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2229 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2230 message to which you are replying.
2232 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2233 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2234 making group replies.
2236 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2238 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2240 * Released nmh-0.19.
2242 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2243 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2245 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2246 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2247 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2248 to the end of the man page.
2250 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2251 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2252 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2253 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2254 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2255 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2257 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2260 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2261 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2262 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2264 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2265 the next available number above the message number you wish
2268 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2269 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2271 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2272 file sbr/seq_print.c
2274 * flist will now update the current folder.
2276 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2277 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2278 but now undocumented.
2280 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2283 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2284 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2286 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2288 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2289 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2291 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2293 * Released nmh-0.18.
2295 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2296 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2297 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2299 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2300 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2302 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2303 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2304 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2305 previous public/private status.
2307 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2310 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2313 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2314 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2315 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2317 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2318 take option to determine whether it should get current
2319 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2320 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2322 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2324 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2325 wait for stopped processes.
2327 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2328 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2330 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2334 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2335 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2337 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2338 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2340 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2341 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2342 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2343 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2345 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2348 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2351 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2353 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2354 the debugging output.
2356 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2357 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2359 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2361 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2363 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2364 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2366 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2368 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2369 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2370 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2371 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2372 in the given sequence.
2374 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2375 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2376 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2377 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2378 subdirectories of a given directory.
2380 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2381 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2382 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2384 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2385 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2387 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2389 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2392 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2393 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2394 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2396 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2397 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2398 are calculated at runtime.
2400 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2402 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2404 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2405 about checking for global mh.profile.
2407 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2408 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2409 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2410 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2411 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2412 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2414 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2415 adding message to folder itself.
2417 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2418 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2419 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2422 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2423 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2426 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2427 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2428 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2430 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2431 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2433 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2434 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2435 code to use it yet).
2437 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2439 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2441 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2442 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2444 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2445 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2447 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2449 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2452 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2454 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2456 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2458 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2460 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2461 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2463 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2465 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2467 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2469 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2471 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2473 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2474 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2476 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2477 configuration files.
2479 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2481 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2483 * Released nmh-0.17.
2485 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2487 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2488 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2490 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2493 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2494 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2496 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2497 number of refiled message.
2499 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2501 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2502 for return value of wait().
2504 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2506 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2508 * Released nmh-0.16.
2510 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2512 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2514 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2515 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2516 deal with binary messages, yet).
2518 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2520 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2522 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2523 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2524 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2525 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2526 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2527 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2529 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2530 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2532 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2533 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2535 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2536 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2539 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2541 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2543 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2544 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2547 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2550 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2552 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2553 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2554 which used unsigned chars by default.
2556 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2558 * Released nmh-0.15.
2560 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2561 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2563 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2565 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2567 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2570 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2571 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2572 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2574 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2575 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2577 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2579 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2580 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2582 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2583 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2584 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2585 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2587 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2588 and put in own subroutine.
2590 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2591 and put in own subroutine.
2593 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2594 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2595 refile.c to use new routine.
2597 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2599 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2601 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2604 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2605 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2606 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2608 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2611 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2612 adding message to sequence.
2614 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2615 corresponding file in sbr.
2617 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2620 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2622 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2623 all selected messages from a sequence.
2625 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2626 selected messages to a sequence.
2628 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2631 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2633 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2634 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2636 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2638 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2639 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2641 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2644 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
2646 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648 * Released nmh-0.14.
2650 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2651 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2653 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2656 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2657 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2658 environment variable.
2660 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2661 draft folder facility in nmh.
2663 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2666 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2667 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2670 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2673 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2675 * Released nmh-0.13.
2677 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2678 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2679 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2680 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2683 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2684 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2686 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2689 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2691 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2693 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2694 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2696 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Released nmh-0.12.
2700 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
2702 * Released nmh-0.11.
2704 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2707 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2709 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2710 mp->attrstats with macros.
2712 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2715 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2718 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2719 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2721 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2722 will suppress the display of the message header.
2724 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2726 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2727 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2729 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2731 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2733 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2735 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2736 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2738 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2739 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2741 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2743 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2745 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2746 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2748 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2749 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2751 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * Released nmh-0.10.
2755 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2757 * Add configure check for <locale.h>. Turn on LOCALE support
2760 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2762 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2763 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2765 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2766 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2768 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2769 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2771 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2773 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2774 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2776 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2779 of missing tabs in regex.
2781 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Released nmh-0.09.
2785 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2787 * Add configure check for killpg.
2789 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and
2792 * prompter.c: don't include <sys/ioctl.h> anymore.
2794 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2796 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2799 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2801 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2803 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2804 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2806 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2808 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2809 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2811 * Released nmh-0.08.
2813 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2814 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2815 locking database itself.
2817 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2819 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2821 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2822 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2825 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2826 rather than mmdf format.
2828 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2829 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2830 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2831 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2833 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2835 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2837 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2840 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2841 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2842 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2844 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2845 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2846 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2848 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2851 can still easily change this in config.h).
2853 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2854 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2855 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2857 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2860 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2862 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2864 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2866 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2869 * Released nmh-0.07.
2871 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2873 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2874 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2876 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2877 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2880 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2881 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2883 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2884 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2886 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2888 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2890 * Added configure check for tzset.
2892 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * Released nmh-0.06.
2896 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2897 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2899 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2900 many such machines around anymore.
2902 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2903 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2905 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2906 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2908 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2910 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2911 pre-generated version if necessary.
2913 * Released nmh-0.05.
2915 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2916 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2917 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2918 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2920 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2921 be linked in one pass.
2923 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2925 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2926 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2928 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2932 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2935 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2936 become the current folder.
2938 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Released nmh-0.04.
2942 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2945 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2948 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2949 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2951 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2953 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2954 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2956 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2958 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2959 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2962 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2963 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2965 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2967 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2968 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2969 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2970 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2971 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2972 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2974 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2976 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2977 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2979 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2980 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2982 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2985 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2987 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2990 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2991 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2993 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2995 * Released nmh-0.03.
2997 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2998 .mh_sequence file existed.
3000 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3001 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3003 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3004 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3007 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3009 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3012 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3014 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3015 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3016 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3018 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3020 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3021 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3022 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3024 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3027 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3029 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3031 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3034 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3035 directory from where the source code is located.
3037 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3039 * Released nmh-0.02.
3041 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3046 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3048 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3049 and sys_nerr directly.
3051 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3055 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3057 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3060 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3061 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3062 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3063 rather than in script.
3065 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3067 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3069 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3070 macro defined on Solaris.
3072 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3074 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3075 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3077 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3078 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3079 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3080 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3083 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3085 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3086 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3088 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3091 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3093 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3095 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3096 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3098 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3100 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3101 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3103 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3106 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3107 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3108 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3109 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3110 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3112 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3114 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3116 * Released nmh-0.01.
3118 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3119 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3120 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3123 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3125 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3128 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3130 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3131 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3133 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3136 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3137 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3138 script to find_program.
3140 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3142 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3143 speed up -recurse option.
3145 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3146 yet, but it compiles :-)
3148 * Changed default location for install to
3149 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3150 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3151 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3154 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3155 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3156 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
