1 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
3 * re-cleaned up nmh documentation and modified Makefile &
4 configure.in to handle the change.
6 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
8 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
9 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
11 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
13 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
16 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
17 along with any -host or -user option.
19 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
21 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
23 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
24 process was fresh in my mind.
26 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
28 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
29 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
33 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
35 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
38 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
39 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
40 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
41 part of the program's name.
43 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
44 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
47 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
49 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
50 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
51 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
52 single-character format would cause programs using this
53 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
54 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
55 when the format string was one character. This eventually
56 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
59 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
61 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
62 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
63 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
64 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
65 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
66 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
68 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
69 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
70 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
71 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
72 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
73 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
74 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
75 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
77 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
78 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
79 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
80 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
81 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
82 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
83 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
84 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
85 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
86 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
88 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
90 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
91 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
93 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
94 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
96 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
101 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
103 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
104 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
105 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
106 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
108 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
109 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
110 problem in the routine.
112 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
114 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
115 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
117 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
118 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
119 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
122 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
124 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
125 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
126 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
127 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
128 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
129 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
130 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
131 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
132 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
133 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
135 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
137 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
138 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
139 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
140 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
141 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
142 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
143 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
144 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
145 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
146 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
147 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
148 interesting than a duplication of the default.
150 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
151 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
152 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
153 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
154 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
156 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
159 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
161 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
162 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
163 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
164 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
167 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
169 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
171 * Applied, after some finessing,
172 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
174 Here's a patch that allows you to add
176 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
178 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
179 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
180 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
181 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
183 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
185 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
186 forgetting to do so!).
188 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
189 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
190 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
191 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
192 arguments to enable all three types.
194 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
195 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
197 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
198 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
199 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
200 updated copy of mts.conf.
202 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
204 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
205 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
206 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
208 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
210 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
212 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
213 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
214 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
216 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
217 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
218 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
220 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
221 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
222 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
224 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
226 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
228 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
230 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
232 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
233 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
235 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
236 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
237 certain suffix to run properly.
239 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
240 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
241 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
243 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
244 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
245 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
246 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
247 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
248 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
249 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
251 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
253 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
254 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
255 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
256 until some year far in the future).
258 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
260 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
262 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
263 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
265 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
266 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
269 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
271 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
272 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
273 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
274 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
275 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
276 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
278 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
280 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
282 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
283 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
284 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
286 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
287 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
288 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
289 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
290 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
291 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
294 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
295 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
296 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
297 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
298 of masquerading individually.
300 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
301 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
302 GECOS field delimiters.
304 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
306 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
307 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
308 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
309 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
310 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
311 and explaining the feature.
313 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
315 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
316 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
319 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
320 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
321 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
323 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
324 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
325 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
326 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
328 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
329 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
330 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
333 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
335 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
338 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
340 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
342 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
343 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
344 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
345 quotes embedded in them.
347 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
349 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
350 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
351 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
352 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
353 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
354 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
355 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
358 The other theory is that because you can say something like
359 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
360 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
361 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
362 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
364 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
366 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
368 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
369 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
370 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
371 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
373 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
376 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
378 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
380 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
382 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
383 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
384 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
386 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
389 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
391 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
392 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
393 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
394 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
395 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
396 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
398 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
399 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
401 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
403 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
406 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
408 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
409 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
410 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
413 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
414 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
415 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
416 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
417 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
418 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
419 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
420 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
421 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
422 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
423 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
424 processing that post has).
426 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
428 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
429 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
430 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
431 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
432 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
433 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
436 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
438 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
440 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
442 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
444 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
445 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
447 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
450 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
452 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
453 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
454 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
457 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
459 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
460 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
461 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
462 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
463 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
464 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
466 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
468 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
470 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
472 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
473 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
474 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
475 caught again. This works for now.
477 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
479 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
481 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
482 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
484 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
486 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
487 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
489 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
491 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
493 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
495 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
496 changes. Both need more cleanup.
498 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
500 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
501 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
502 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
503 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
504 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
507 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
509 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
510 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
511 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
513 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
514 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
517 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
519 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
520 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
521 to a directory on another device with more free space.
523 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
525 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
526 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
528 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
530 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
533 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
534 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
536 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
537 macros, regardless of platform.
539 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
540 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
542 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
543 with x-conversions=gzip.
545 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
547 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
550 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
551 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
552 implicit definition of ioctl().
554 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
555 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
556 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
557 want to mess with them.
559 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
561 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
562 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
564 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
565 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
567 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
568 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
569 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
571 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
572 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
573 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
575 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
578 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
581 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
582 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
585 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
586 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
589 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
590 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
594 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
596 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
597 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
598 preventing compilation on at least linux.
600 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
601 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
603 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
605 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
607 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
608 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
609 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
610 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
612 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
613 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
615 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
617 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
619 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
621 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
622 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
624 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
626 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
627 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
629 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
630 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
631 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
632 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
634 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
635 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
637 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
639 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
640 substitute it for mktemp if available.
642 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
644 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
645 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
648 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
650 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
652 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
654 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
655 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
657 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
658 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
659 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
661 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
662 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
663 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
665 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
666 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
667 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
669 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
670 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
673 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
674 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
676 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
677 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
679 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
682 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
683 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
684 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
686 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
687 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
689 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
690 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
691 <elleron@servtech.com>.
693 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
694 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
697 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
698 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
700 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
701 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
702 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
703 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
705 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
706 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
708 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
712 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
713 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
714 would not be changed.
716 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
717 one from the Apache web server.
719 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
720 (this should have been done a long time ago).
722 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
723 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
724 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
726 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
728 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
730 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
731 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
734 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
735 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
736 removes a bad race condition.
738 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
741 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
742 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
743 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
745 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
746 sequence information.
748 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
749 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
751 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
754 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
757 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
759 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
760 interpret 034 as octal.
762 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
764 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
765 mhstore, and mhbuild.
767 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
768 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
770 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
771 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
773 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
774 in the c_cefile structure when building.
776 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
777 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
779 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
780 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
781 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
783 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
784 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
785 and mhshow. Updated man pages
787 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
789 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
791 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
792 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
795 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
797 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
798 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
800 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
801 header field information.
803 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
804 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
806 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
807 values when parsing a content.
809 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
810 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
812 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
813 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
815 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
816 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
818 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
819 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
821 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
823 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
825 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
827 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
829 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
830 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
833 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
834 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
836 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
837 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
838 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
839 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
840 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
841 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
844 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
846 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
847 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
848 buffer length checks for this parameter.
850 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
851 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
853 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
855 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
856 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
857 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
858 of the limits on the length of command lines.
860 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
861 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
864 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
865 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
866 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
867 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
870 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
874 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
875 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
877 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
878 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
879 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
880 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
883 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
884 mhbuild returns an error.
886 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
887 rename the draft file.
889 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
890 use a global variable.
892 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
893 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
895 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
896 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
898 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
899 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
900 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
902 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
903 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
905 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
906 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
909 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
910 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
913 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
914 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
916 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
917 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
918 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
920 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
921 to new function output_content_folder.
923 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
924 new function output_content_file.
926 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
927 to new function parse_format_string.
929 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
930 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
931 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
932 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
934 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
935 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
936 message/external file from ftp.
938 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
939 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
940 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
942 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
943 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
946 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
949 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
950 new file mhstoresbr.c
952 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
955 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
956 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
958 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
959 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
961 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
962 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
963 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
965 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
967 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
969 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
970 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
973 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
974 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
976 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
979 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
981 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
985 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
986 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
987 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
988 is still the same (dashstuffing).
990 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
991 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
992 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
993 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
994 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
996 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
997 But it is not on by default.
999 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1000 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1002 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1004 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1006 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1008 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1010 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1011 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1013 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1015 * Released nmh-0.25.
1017 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1018 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1019 uses the original name of the library.
1021 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1022 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1025 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1026 list_content and list_debug.
1028 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1030 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1031 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1033 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1035 * Released nmh-0.24.
1037 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1039 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1040 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1042 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1043 large sequence line.
1045 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1047 * Released nmh-0.23.
1049 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1051 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1052 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1053 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1054 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1056 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1057 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1060 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1062 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1064 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1066 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1067 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1069 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1070 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1072 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1073 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1075 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1076 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1078 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1080 * Released nmh-0.22.
1082 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1083 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1085 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1087 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1088 mh-profile(5) man page.
1090 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1091 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1093 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1095 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1097 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1098 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1100 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1102 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1103 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1104 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1106 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1107 source message on the standard input.
1109 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1111 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1112 rather than -rfc934mode.
1114 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1115 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1118 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1119 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1121 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1124 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1126 * Released nmh-0.21.
1128 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1129 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1131 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1134 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1135 to use for text contents.
1137 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1139 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1141 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1143 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1145 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1146 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1148 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1149 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1150 spaces between encoded word are.
1152 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1154 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1155 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1157 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1158 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1159 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1161 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1163 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1164 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1166 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1168 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1170 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1171 ISO-8859-X character set.
1173 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1176 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1177 permissions, not write permissions.
1179 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1180 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1182 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1185 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1187 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1189 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1190 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1192 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1193 message contains valid character set.
1195 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1196 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1198 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1199 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1201 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1202 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1203 between an encoded word and normal text.
1205 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1206 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1208 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1209 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1211 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1214 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1215 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1218 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1219 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1221 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1222 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1224 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1226 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1228 * Released nmh-0.20.
1230 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1232 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1234 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1235 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1236 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1238 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1239 and the To: line was missing.
1241 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1243 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1245 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1247 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1248 watch the POP transaction.
1250 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1251 first, and use it if available.
1253 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1254 first, and use it if available.
1256 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1258 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1260 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1261 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1262 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1265 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1266 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1267 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1269 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1270 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1273 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1275 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1276 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1278 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1280 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1281 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1283 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1284 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1285 message to which you are replying.
1287 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1288 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1289 making group replies.
1291 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1293 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1295 * Released nmh-0.19.
1297 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1298 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1300 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1301 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1302 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1303 to the end of the man page.
1305 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1306 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1307 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1308 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1309 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1310 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1312 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1315 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1316 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1317 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1319 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1320 the next available number above the message number you wish
1323 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1324 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1326 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1327 file sbr/seq_print.c
1329 * flist will now update the current folder.
1331 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1332 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1333 but now undocumented.
1335 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1338 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1339 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1341 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1343 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1344 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1346 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1348 * Released nmh-0.18.
1350 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1351 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1352 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1354 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1355 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1357 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1358 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1359 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1360 previous public/private status.
1362 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1365 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1368 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1369 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1370 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1372 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1373 take option to determine whether it should get current
1374 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1375 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1377 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1379 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1380 wait for stopped processes.
1382 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1383 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1385 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1387 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1389 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1390 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1392 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1393 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1395 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1396 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1397 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1398 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1400 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1403 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1406 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1408 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1409 the debugging output.
1411 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1412 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1414 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1416 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1418 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1419 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1421 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1423 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1424 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1425 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1426 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1427 in the given sequence.
1429 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1430 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1431 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1432 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1433 subdirectories of a given directory.
1435 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1436 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1437 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1439 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1440 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1442 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1444 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1447 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1448 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1449 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1451 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1452 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1453 are calculated at runtime.
1455 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1457 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1459 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1460 about checking for global mh.profile.
1462 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1463 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1464 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1465 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1466 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1467 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1469 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1470 adding message to folder itself.
1472 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1473 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1474 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1477 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1478 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1481 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1482 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1483 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1485 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1486 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1488 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1489 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1490 code to use it yet).
1492 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1494 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1496 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1497 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1499 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1500 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1502 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1504 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1507 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1509 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1511 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1513 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1515 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1516 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1518 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1520 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1522 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1524 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1526 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1528 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1529 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1531 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1532 configuration files.
1534 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1536 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1538 * Released nmh-0.17.
1540 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1542 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1543 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1545 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1548 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1549 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1551 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1552 number of refiled message.
1554 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1556 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1557 for return value of wait().
1559 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1561 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1563 * Released nmh-0.16.
1565 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1567 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1569 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1570 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1571 deal with binary messages, yet).
1573 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1575 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1577 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1578 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1579 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1580 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1581 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1582 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1584 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1585 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1587 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1588 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1590 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1591 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1594 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1596 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1598 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1599 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1602 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1605 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1607 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1608 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1609 which used unsigned chars by default.
1611 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1613 * Released nmh-0.15.
1615 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1616 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1618 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1620 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1622 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1625 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1626 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1627 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1629 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1630 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1632 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1634 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1635 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1637 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1638 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1639 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1640 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1642 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1643 and put in own subroutine.
1645 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1646 and put in own subroutine.
1648 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1649 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1650 refile.c to use new routine.
1652 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1654 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1656 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1659 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1660 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1661 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1663 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1666 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1667 adding message to sequence.
1669 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1670 corresponding file in sbr.
1672 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1675 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1677 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1678 all selected messages from a sequence.
1680 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1681 selected messages to a sequence.
1683 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1686 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1688 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
1689 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
1691 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1693 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
1694 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
1696 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1698 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
1699 MH-6.8.4 distribution.
1701 Fri May 2 15:24:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1703 * Released nmh-0.14.
1705 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
1706 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
1708 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1710 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
1711 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
1712 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
1713 environment variable.
1715 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
1716 draft folder facility in nmh.
1718 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
1721 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
1722 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
1725 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
1728 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1730 * Released nmh-0.13.
1732 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1733 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1734 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1735 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1738 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1739 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1741 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1743 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1744 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1746 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1748 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
1749 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
1751 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1753 * Released nmh-0.12.
1755 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
1757 * Released nmh-0.11.
1759 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1761 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
1762 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
1764 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
1765 mp->attrstats with macros.
1767 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
1770 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1773 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1774 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1776 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1777 will suppress the display of the message header.
1779 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1781 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1782 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1784 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1786 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1788 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1790 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1791 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1793 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1794 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1796 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1798 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1800 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1801 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1803 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1804 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
1806 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1808 * Released nmh-0.10.
1810 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1812 * Add configure check for <locale.h>. Turn on LOCALE support
1815 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1817 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
1818 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1820 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1821 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1823 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1824 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
1826 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1828 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
1829 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1831 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1833 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
1834 of missing tabs in regex.
1836 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1838 * Released nmh-0.09.
1840 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
1842 * Add configure check for killpg.

1854 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1856 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
1858 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
1859 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
1861 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1863 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1864 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1866 * Released nmh-0.08.
1868 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1869 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1870 locking database itself.
1872 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1874 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1876 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1877 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1880 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1881 rather than mmdf format.
1883 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1884 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1885 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1886 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1888 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1890 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1892 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1895 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1896 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1897 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1899 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1900 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1901 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
1903 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1905 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1906 can still easily change this in config.h).
1908 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1909 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1910 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1912 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1914 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
1915 than tzset and external timezone variable.
1917 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1919 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
1921 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
1924 * Released nmh-0.07.
1926 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1929 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1931 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1932 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1935 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1936 built-in FTP client in mhn.
1938 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
1939 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1941 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1943 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1945 * Added configure check for tzset.

1949 * Released nmh-0.06.
1951 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1952 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1954 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1955 many such machines around anymore.
1957 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1958 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1960 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1961 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
1963 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1965 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
1966 pre-generated version if necessary.
1968 * Released nmh-0.05.
1970 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
1971 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
1972 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
1973 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
1975 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
1976 be linked in one pass.
1978 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1980 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
1981 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
1983 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
1987 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1989 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
1990 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
1991 become the current folder.
1993 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1995 * Released nmh-0.04.
1997 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2000 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2002 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2003 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2004 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2006 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2008 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2009 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2011 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2013 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2014 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2017 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2018 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2020 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2022 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2023 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2024 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2025 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2026 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2027 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2029 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2031 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2032 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2034 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2035 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2037 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2040 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2042 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2044 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2045 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2046 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2048 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050 * Released nmh-0.03.
2052 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2053 .mh_sequence file existed.
2055 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2056 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2058 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2059 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2062 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2064 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2067 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2069 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2070 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2071 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2073 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2075 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2076 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2077 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2079 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2081 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2082 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2084 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2086 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2088 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2089 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2090 directory from where the source code is located.
2092 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2094 * Released nmh-0.02.
2096 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2101 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2103 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2104 and sys_nerr directly.
2106 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2108 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2110 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2112 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2114 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2115 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2116 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2117 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2118 rather than in script.
2120 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2122 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2124 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2125 macro defined on Solaris.
2127 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2129 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2130 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2132 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2133 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2134 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2135 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2138 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2140 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2141 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2143 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2146 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2148 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2150 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2151 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2153 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2155 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2156 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2158 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2160 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2161 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2162 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2163 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2164 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2165 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2167 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2169 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2171 * Released nmh-0.01.
2173 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2174 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2175 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2178 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2180 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2183 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2185 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2186 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2188 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2191 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2192 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2193 script to find_program.
2195 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2197 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2198 speed up -recurse option.
2200 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2201 yet, but it compiles :-)
2203 * Changed default location for install to
2204 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2205 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2206 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2209 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2210 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2211 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
