1 2009-01-17 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
3 * etc/mhn.defaults.sh: Never try to make mhshow start xterm.
5 2009-01-16 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
7 * test/runtest, test/tests/inc/test-deb359167,
8 test/tests/inc/test-eom-align, test/tests/manpages/test-manpages:
9 Load common.sh via absolute path, otherwise some /bin/sh
10 (e.g. dash) can't load it.
12 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/new.c, test/tests/new/test-basic: Add new
13 program, and fn/fp/unseen symlinks.
15 * test/{runtest,setup-test}: Move MH profile under Mail directory
16 so each test script will have its own to muck with, if needed.
18 * h/Makefile.in, h/crawl_folders.h, sbr/Makefile.in,
19 sbr/crawl_folders.c, uip/folder.c: Extract the folder crawling
20 code from folder.c into new crawl_folders function, using a
21 callback to assemble the folder info in folder.c. Drop compare
22 function and use strcmp instead. Rename addfold and addir to
23 add_folder and add_children (add dir vs. add folder?
26 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
28 * sbr/m_getfld.c: fix two bugs which could cause us to walk off
29 the beginning of the stdio or prefix-string buffer when checking
30 for presence of the end-of-message delimiter in some situations.
31 This might cause inc to dump core if you were unlucky. (This was
33 * test/tests/inc/{md5sums,msgheader.txt,test-deb359167,
34 test-eom-align,fromline.txt,filler.txt,deb359167.mbox}: new tests
35 both for the specific problem and to try to check various alignments
36 of the eom string with the stdio buffer ending.
37 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
38 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
39 new file. Added some functions for doing progress indicators.
41 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
43 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
44 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
46 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
48 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
49 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
50 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
51 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
54 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
56 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
57 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
58 "is greater than or equal to".
60 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
62 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
63 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
66 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
68 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
69 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
70 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
71 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
73 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
75 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
76 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
79 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
82 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
83 and send output there rather than to stdout.
85 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
86 end up going to stdout.
88 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
90 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
91 waiting until the very end to print anything.
92 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
93 instead of searching the messages first.
95 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
97 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
98 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
100 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
102 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
105 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
107 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
109 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
110 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
113 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
114 'static' from the definitions here.
115 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
117 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
118 support get_ctinfo change).
119 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
120 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
121 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
122 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
123 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
124 suffixes, not prefixes.
125 (openMail): Explain showproc.
127 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
128 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
130 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
131 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
133 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
135 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
137 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
138 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
139 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
140 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
142 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
144 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
147 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
148 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
149 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
151 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
153 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
154 autotools in the right order
155 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
157 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
158 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
159 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
161 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
163 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
164 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
166 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
168 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
169 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
170 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
171 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
172 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
174 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
176 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
179 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
181 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
182 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
183 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
184 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
185 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
186 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
187 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
189 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
191 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
192 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
194 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
195 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
196 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
197 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
198 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
200 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
201 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
202 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
204 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
205 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
206 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
207 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
208 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
209 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
210 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
211 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
212 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
214 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
216 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
219 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
221 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
222 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
223 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
224 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
225 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
226 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
228 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
230 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
232 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
234 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
235 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
238 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
239 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
240 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
242 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
245 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
247 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
248 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
249 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
251 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
252 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
253 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
255 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
257 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
258 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
259 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
260 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
261 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
262 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
263 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
265 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
267 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
268 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
270 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
272 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
273 with multibyte support.
275 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
276 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
277 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
278 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
280 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
282 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
283 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
285 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
286 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
288 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
290 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
291 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
292 the address of a static array.
294 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
296 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
297 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
299 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
301 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
302 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
303 This allows users to masquerade with the default
304 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
305 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
306 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
309 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
311 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
312 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
313 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
314 ruserpass() has a void return type.
316 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
317 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
318 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
319 provide memmove() substitute implementation
321 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
322 source directory' feature
324 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
325 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
327 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
329 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
330 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
331 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
334 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
336 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
337 is the wrong approach.
339 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
340 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
341 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
344 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
345 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
346 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
347 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
348 broken for continued lines from the server.
350 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
352 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
353 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
355 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
357 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
359 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
362 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
364 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
366 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
368 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
369 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
370 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
371 obsolete feature of autoconf
373 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
375 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
376 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
377 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
379 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
381 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
382 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
384 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
386 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
389 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
391 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
392 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
393 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
394 following done() (should never be reached).
396 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
398 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
399 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
401 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
403 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
404 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
406 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
408 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
409 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
410 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
411 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
412 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
413 acconfig.h if you must.
415 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
417 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
418 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
419 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
420 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
422 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
424 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
427 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
429 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
430 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
431 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
432 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
433 have Content-Disposition.
435 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
437 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
440 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
442 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
443 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
445 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
447 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
448 encoded block is empty
450 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
452 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
453 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
454 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
457 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
459 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
460 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
463 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
465 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
466 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
467 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
468 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
471 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
472 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
474 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
476 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
477 function num_digits into utils.c
479 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
481 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
482 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
483 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
485 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
487 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
488 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
489 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
490 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
491 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
492 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
493 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
494 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
496 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
498 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
499 Content-Disposition header.
501 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
503 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
504 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
505 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
506 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
507 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
508 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
509 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
510 users to easily accomodate that by adding
511 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
513 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
515 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
516 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
518 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
520 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
522 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
523 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
525 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
526 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
528 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
530 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
531 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
532 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
533 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
534 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
537 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
539 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
540 widths, restoring right justification feature
542 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
544 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
545 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
546 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
548 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
551 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
553 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
554 handling multi column characters.
556 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
558 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
560 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
562 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
563 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
566 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
568 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
570 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
572 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
575 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
577 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
580 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
582 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
583 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
584 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
585 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
587 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
589 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
590 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
591 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
592 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
593 where configure's autodetection fails.
595 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
597 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
598 configure script change.
600 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
602 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
603 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
604 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
607 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
609 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
610 the context is only read once.
612 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
614 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
615 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
617 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
619 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
620 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
622 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
623 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
626 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
627 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
630 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
632 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
633 vi isn't found during build.
635 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
637 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
638 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
640 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
641 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
642 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
644 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
646 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
647 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
649 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
650 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
651 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
652 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
655 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
656 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
657 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
659 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
660 entry in the context file.
662 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
664 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
665 problems on some systems
667 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
668 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
670 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
672 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
673 sendmail isn't found during build.
675 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
677 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
679 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
681 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
682 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
684 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
685 references to the web page and mailing list locations
687 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
688 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
690 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
693 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
695 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
696 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
697 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
699 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
700 was configured with --enable-apop.
702 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
703 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
704 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
706 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
707 new versions of flex.
709 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
710 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
711 doesn't guess wrongly.
713 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
715 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
716 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
718 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
719 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
721 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
722 files with numbers as names
724 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
726 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
728 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
730 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
732 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
733 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
735 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
737 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
740 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
741 test/report error writing to stdout
743 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
745 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
747 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
748 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
749 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
751 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
752 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
753 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
755 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
757 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
758 character set used by the current locale
760 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
761 message's filename overflows an int when converted
763 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
764 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
766 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
768 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
771 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
773 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
774 from Michael Richardson.
776 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
777 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
779 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
781 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
782 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
784 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
786 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
787 find sub-parts of the specified part
789 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
791 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
792 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
793 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
794 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
795 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
796 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
797 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
800 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
802 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
803 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
804 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
807 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
808 refiling with -src option.
810 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
812 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
814 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
816 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
817 mailpath being overwritten.
819 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
821 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
822 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
823 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
824 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
825 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
826 reinitializes the tmp file string.
828 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
829 if a format string was read from the profile.
831 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
832 path for the external hook.
834 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
836 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
837 another location for ndbm.
839 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
841 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
843 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
845 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
848 136976 - Handle binary content messages
849 143427 - mh-format.man typo
850 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
851 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
852 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
853 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
854 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
855 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
856 181867 - typo for nmh.man
858 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
860 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
861 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
862 contitional code which will result in cached data to
863 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
864 and parse on the first use.
865 * Remove some unused flag bits.
867 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
869 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
870 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
872 #578 - repl leaks umask
873 #1393 - sortm core dumps
874 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
875 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
876 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
878 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
879 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
881 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
884 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
886 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
888 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
889 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
890 to docs/README.about.
892 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
894 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
896 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
897 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
898 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
899 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
902 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
904 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
905 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
906 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
907 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
908 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
909 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
912 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
913 summary configure prints out.
915 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
916 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
917 subjectively more readable) format.
919 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
921 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
924 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
926 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
927 19xx when it's not necessary.
929 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
931 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
932 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
935 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
936 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
937 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
938 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
939 the man pages correctly.
941 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
943 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
945 * Finished manpages ali-prev
947 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
948 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
949 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
952 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
953 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
954 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
955 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
957 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
959 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
960 the formatting rules I've been using.
964 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
966 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
967 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
968 used in the manpages.
970 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
971 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
972 read in the contents of the file as the variable
975 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
976 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
977 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
978 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
979 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
980 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
981 bold flags and italicized parameters.
983 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
985 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
986 --with-locking option.
988 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
989 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
990 information was not being communicated to the
991 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
992 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
993 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
994 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
995 undefined symbols problems.
997 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
998 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
999 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
1000 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
1001 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
1002 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
1003 for a genuine krb4 installation.
1005 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1007 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
1008 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1010 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1012 * Made a new ./configure option called
1013 "--with-locking" that allows the file
1014 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
1015 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
1017 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
1018 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
1019 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
1020 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
1021 the user that these are the valid options, and
1022 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
1025 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1027 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
1028 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
1029 committed to supporting flex only, since
1030 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
1031 string, as well as other problems documented
1032 below and on nmh-workers.
1034 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1035 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1036 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1039 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1040 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1042 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1044 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1045 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1046 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1048 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1050 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1051 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1053 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1055 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1056 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1057 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1058 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1059 couldn't correctly identify them.
1061 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1063 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1064 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1065 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1066 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1067 not depending on an external archive.
1069 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1070 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1071 mts/generic is no longer built.
1073 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1075 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1076 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1077 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1078 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1079 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1080 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1081 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1082 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1084 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1086 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1087 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1090 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1092 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1093 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1094 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1097 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1098 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1099 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1100 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1102 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1103 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1104 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1105 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1106 merged into the smtp code).
1108 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1109 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1110 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1113 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1114 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1115 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1116 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1117 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1118 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1119 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1121 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1123 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1124 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1125 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1126 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1127 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1128 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1129 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1130 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1131 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1132 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1133 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1135 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1137 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1138 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1139 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1140 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1141 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1142 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1143 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1144 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1145 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1147 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1149 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1150 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1151 able to access them.
1153 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1155 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1156 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1158 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1160 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1161 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1162 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1163 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1165 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1168 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1169 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1170 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1171 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1173 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1174 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1176 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1178 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1180 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1181 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1182 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1183 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1185 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1186 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1187 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1188 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1190 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1191 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1192 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1193 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1195 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1196 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1197 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1199 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1201 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1202 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1203 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1204 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1205 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1206 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1209 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1210 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1212 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1213 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1215 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1217 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1219 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1221 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1222 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1223 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1224 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1226 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1228 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1229 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1231 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1233 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1235 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1236 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1239 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1241 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1242 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1243 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1244 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1246 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1248 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1249 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1250 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1251 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1252 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1254 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1256 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1257 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1259 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1260 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1262 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1264 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1266 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1267 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1268 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1270 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1272 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1275 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1276 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1278 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1280 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1281 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1283 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1285 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1286 inc does not need to be setgid.
1288 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1290 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1291 library, as found on Debian systems.
1293 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1295 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1297 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1298 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1299 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1300 case-insensitivity flag.
1302 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1304 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1305 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1307 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1309 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1310 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1311 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1312 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1313 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1314 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1315 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1316 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1317 getting moved aside).
1319 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1320 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1322 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1324 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1325 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1326 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1327 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1328 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1329 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1330 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1331 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1332 the prototype, but never sets it.
1334 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1335 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1336 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1337 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1338 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1339 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1341 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1342 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1343 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1344 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1345 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1347 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1349 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1350 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1353 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1354 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1355 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1356 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1357 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1358 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1359 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1361 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1363 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1365 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1366 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1367 this works on other systems.
1369 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1371 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1372 checks for write failures.
1374 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1376 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1378 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1381 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1383 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1385 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1387 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1388 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1391 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1393 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1394 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1395 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1396 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1398 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1400 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1401 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1404 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1405 as well as Makefiles.
1407 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1409 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1410 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1411 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1412 should make maintainability easier.
1414 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1415 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1416 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1417 whatever you know works.
1419 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1421 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1422 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1423 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1425 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1426 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1427 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1428 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1430 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1431 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1432 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1434 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1435 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1436 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1437 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1438 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1440 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1441 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1442 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1443 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1444 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1445 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1446 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1447 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1448 from the BSD version.
1450 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1451 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1452 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1454 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1455 in ruserpass.c also.
1457 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1460 This happens on solaris:
1463 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1464 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1468 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1470 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1471 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1473 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1475 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1476 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1477 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1478 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1479 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1480 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1481 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1482 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1483 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1484 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1485 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1487 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1488 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1489 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1490 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1491 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1492 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1495 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1496 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1497 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1498 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1499 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1501 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1502 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1504 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1506 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1507 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1508 to stdin, such as exmh.
1510 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1511 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1512 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1515 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1517 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1518 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1519 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1520 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1521 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1522 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1523 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1525 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1527 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1528 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1530 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1532 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1533 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1535 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1537 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1540 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1541 along with any -host or -user option.
1543 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1545 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1547 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1548 process was fresh in my mind.
1550 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1553 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1555 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1557 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1559 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1562 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1563 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1564 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1565 part of the program's name.
1567 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1568 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1571 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1573 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1574 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1575 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1576 single-character format would cause programs using this
1577 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1578 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1579 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1580 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1

1585 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1586 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1587 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1588 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1589 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1590 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1592 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1593 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1594 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1595 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1596 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1597 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1598 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1599 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1601 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1602 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1603 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1604 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1605 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1606 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1607 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1608 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1609 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1610 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1612 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1614 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1615 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1617 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1618 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1620 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1625 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1627 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1628 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1629 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1630 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1632 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1633 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1634 problem in the routine.
1636 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1638 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1639 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1641 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1642 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1643 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1646 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1648 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1649 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1650 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1651 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1652 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1653 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1654 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1655 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1656 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1657 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1659 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1661 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1662 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1663 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1664 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1665 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1666 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1667 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1668 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1669 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1670 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1671 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1672 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1674 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1675 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1676 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1677 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1678 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1680 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1683 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1685 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1686 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1687 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1688 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1691 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1693 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1695 * Applied, after some finessing,
1696 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1698 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1700 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1702 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1703 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1704 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1705 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1707 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1709 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1710 forgetting to do so!).
1712 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1713 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1714 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1715 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1716 arguments to enable all three types.
1718 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1719 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1721 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1722 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1723 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1724 updated copy of mts.conf.
1726 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1728 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1729 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1730 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1732 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1734 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1736 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1737 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1738 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1740 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1741 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1742 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1744 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1745 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1746 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1748 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1750 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1752 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1754 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1756 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1757 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1759 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1760 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1761 certain suffix to run properly.
1763 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1764 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1765 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1767 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1768 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1769 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1770 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1771 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1772 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1773 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1775 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1777 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1778 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1779 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1780 until some year far in the future).
1782 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1784 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1786 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1787 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1789 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1790 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1793 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1795 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1796 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1797 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1798 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1799 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1800 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1802 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1804 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1806 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1807 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1808 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1810 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1811 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1812 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1813 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1814 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1815 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1818 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1819 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1820 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1821 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1822 of masquerading individually.
1824 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1825 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1826 GECOS field delimiters.
1828 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1830 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1831 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1832 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1833 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1834 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1835 and explaining the feature.
1837 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1839 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1840 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1843 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1844 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1845 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1847 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1848 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1849 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1850 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1852 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1853 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1854 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1857 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1859 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1860 code to be executed.
1862 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1864 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1866 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1867 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1868 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1869 quotes embedded in them.
1871 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1873 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1874 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1875 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1876 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1877 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1878 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1879 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1882 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1883 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1884 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1885 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1886 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1888 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1890 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1892 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1893 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1894 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1895 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1897 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1900 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1902 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1904 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1906 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1907 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1908 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1910 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1913 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1915 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1916 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1917 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1918 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1919 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1920 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1922 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1923 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1925 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1927 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1930 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1932 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1933 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1934 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1937 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1938 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1939 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1940 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1941 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1942 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1943 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1944 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1945 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1946 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1947 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1948 processing that post has).
1950 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1952 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1953 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1954 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1955 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1956 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1957 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1960 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1962 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1964 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1966 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1968 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1969 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1971 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1974 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1976 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1977 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1978 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1981 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1983 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1984 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1985 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1986 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1987 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1988 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1990 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1992 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1994 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1996 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1997 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1998 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1999 caught again. This works for now.
2001 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
2003 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2005 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
2006 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
2008 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2010 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
2011 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
2013 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
2015 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
2017 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2019 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
2020 changes. Both need more cleanup.
2022 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2024 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
2025 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
2026 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
2027 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
2028 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
2031 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2033 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2034 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2035 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2037 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2038 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2041 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2043 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2044 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2045 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2047 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2049 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2050 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2052 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2054 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2057 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2058 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2060 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2061 macros, regardless of platform.
2063 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2064 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2066 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2067 with x-conversions=gzip.
2069 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2071 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2074 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2075 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2076 implicit definition of ioctl().
2078 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2079 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2080 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2081 want to mess with them.
2083 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2085 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2086 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2088 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2089 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2091 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2092 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2093 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2095 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2096 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2097 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2099 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2100 function initgroups.
2102 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2105 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2106 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2109 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2110 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2113 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2114 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2118 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2120 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2121 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2122 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2124 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2125 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2127 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2129 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2131 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2132 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2133 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2134 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2136 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2137 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2139 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2141 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2143 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2145 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2146 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2148 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2150 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2151 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2153 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2154 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2155 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2156 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2158 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2159 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2161 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2163 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2164 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2166 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2168 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2169 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2172 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2174 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2176 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2178 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2179 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2181 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2182 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2183 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2185 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2186 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2187 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2189 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2190 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2191 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2193 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2194 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2197 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2198 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2200 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2201 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2203 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2204 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2206 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2207 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2208 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2210 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2211 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2213 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2214 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2215 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2217 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2218 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2221 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2222 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2224 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2225 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2226 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2227 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2229 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2230 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2232 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2237 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2238 would not be changed.
2240 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2241 one from the Apache web server.
2243 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2244 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2246 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2247 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2248 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2250 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2252 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2254 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2255 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2258 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2259 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2260 removes a bad race condition.
2262 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2265 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2266 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2267 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2269 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2270 sequence information.
2272 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2273 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2275 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2278 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2281 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2283 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2284 interpret 034 as octal.
2286 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2288 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2289 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2291 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2292 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2294 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2295 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2297 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2298 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2300 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2301 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2303 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2304 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2305 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2307 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2308 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2309 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2311 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2313 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2315 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2316 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2319 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2321 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2322 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2324 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2325 header field information.
2327 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2328 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2330 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2331 values when parsing a content.
2333 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2334 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2336 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2337 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2339 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2340 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2342 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2343 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2345 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2347 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2349 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2351 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2353 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2354 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2357 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2358 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2360 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2361 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2362 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2363 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2364 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2365 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2368 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2370 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2371 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2372 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2374 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2375 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2377 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2379 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2380 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2381 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2382 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2384 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2385 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2388 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2389 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2390 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2391 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2394 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396 * Released nmh-0.27.
2398 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2399 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2401 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2402 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2403 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2404 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2407 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2408 mhbuild returns an error.
2410 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2411 rename the draft file.
2413 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2414 use a global variable.
2416 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2417 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2419 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2420 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2422 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2423 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2424 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2426 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2427 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2429 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2430 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2433 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2434 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2437 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2438 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2440 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2441 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2442 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2444 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2445 to new function output_content_folder.
2447 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2448 new function output_content_file.
2450 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2451 to new function parse_format_string.
2453 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2454 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2455 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2456 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2458 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2459 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2460 message/external file from ftp.
2462 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2463 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2464 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2466 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2467 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2470 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2473 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2474 new file mhstoresbr.c
2476 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2479 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2480 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2482 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2483 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2485 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2486 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2487 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2489 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2491 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2493 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2494 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2497 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2498 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2500 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2503 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2505 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2507 * Released nmh-0.26.
2509 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2510 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2511 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2512 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2514 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2515 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2516 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2517 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2518 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2520 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2521 But it is not on by default.
2523 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2524 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2526 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2528 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2530 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2532 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2534 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2535 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2537 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2539 * Released nmh-0.25.
2541 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2542 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2543 uses the original name of the library.
2545 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2546 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2549 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2550 list_content and list_debug.
2552 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2554 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2555 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2557 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2559 * Released nmh-0.24.
2561 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2563 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2564 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2566 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2567 large sequence line.
2569 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2571 * Released nmh-0.23.
2573 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2575 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2576 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2577 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2578 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2580 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2581 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2584 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2586 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2588 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2590 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2591 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2593 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2594 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2596 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2597 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2599 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2600 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2602 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2604 * Released nmh-0.22.
2606 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2607 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2609 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2611 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2612 mh-profile(5) man page.
2614 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2615 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2617 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2619 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2621 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2622 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2624 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2626 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2627 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2628 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2630 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2631 source message on the standard input.
2633 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2635 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2636 rather than -rfc934mode.
2638 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2639 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2642 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2643 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2645 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2648 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2650 * Released nmh-0.21.
2652 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2653 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2655 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2658 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2659 to use for text contents.
2661 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2663 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2665 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2667 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2669 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2670 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2672 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2673 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2674 spaces between encoded word are.
2676 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2678 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2679 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2681 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2682 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2683 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2685 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2687 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2688 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2690 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2692 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2694 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2695 ISO-8859-X character set.
2697 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2700 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2701 permissions, not write permissions.
2703 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2704 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2706 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2709 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2713 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2714 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2716 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2717 message contains valid character set.
2719 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2720 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2722 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2723 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2725 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2726 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2727 between an encoded word and normal text.
2729 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2730 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2732 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2733 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2735 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2738 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2739 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2742 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2743 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2745 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2746 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2748 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2750 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2752 * Released nmh-0.20.
2754 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2756 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2758 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2759 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2760 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2762 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2763 and the To: line was missing.
2765 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2767 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2769 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2771 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2772 watch the POP transaction.
2774 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2775 first, and use it if available.
2777 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2778 first, and use it if available.
2780 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2782 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2784 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2785 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2786 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2789 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2790 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2791 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2793 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2794 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2797 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2799 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2800 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2802 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2804 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2805 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2807 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2808 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2809 message to which you are replying.
2811 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2812 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2813 making group replies.
2815 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2817 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2819 * Released nmh-0.19.
2821 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2822 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2824 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2825 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2826 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2827 to the end of the man page.
2829 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2830 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2831 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2832 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2833 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2834 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2836 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2839 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2840 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2841 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2843 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2844 the next available number above the message number you wish
2847 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2848 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2850 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2851 file sbr/seq_print.c
2853 * flist will now update the current folder.
2855 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2856 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2857 but now undocumented.
2859 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2862 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2863 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2865 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2867 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2868 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2870 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2872 * Released nmh-0.18.
2874 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2875 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2876 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2878 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2879 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2881 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2882 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2883 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2884 previous public/private status.
2886 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2889 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2892 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2893 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2894 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2896 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2897 take option to determine whether it should get current
2898 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2899 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2901 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2903 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2904 wait for stopped processes.
2906 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2907 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2909 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2911 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2913 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2914 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2916 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2917 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2919 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2920 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2921 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2922 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2924 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2927 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2930 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2932 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2933 the debugging output.
2935 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2936 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2938 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2942 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2943 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2945 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2947 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2948 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2949 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2950 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2951 in the given sequence.
2953 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2954 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2955 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2956 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2957 subdirectories of a given directory.
2959 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2960 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2961 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2963 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2964 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2966 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2968 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2971 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2972 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2973 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2975 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2976 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2977 are calculated at runtime.
2979 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2981 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2983 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2984 about checking for global mh.profile.
2986 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2987 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2988 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2989 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2990 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2991 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2993 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2994 adding message to folder itself.
2996 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2997 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2998 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
3001 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
3002 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
3005 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
3006 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
3007 is the same as the direct smtp code).
3009 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
3010 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
3012 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
3013 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
3014 code to use it yet).
3016 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
3020 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
3021 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
3023 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
3024 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
3026 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
3028 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
3031 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3035 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3037 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3039 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3040 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3042 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3044 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3046 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3048 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3050 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3052 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3053 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3055 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3056 configuration files.
3058 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
3060 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3062 * Released nmh-0.17.
3064 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3066 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3067 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3069 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3072 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3073 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3075 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3076 number of refiled message.
3078 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3080 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3081 for return value of wait().
3083 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3085 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3087 * Released nmh-0.16.
3089 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3091 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3093 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3094 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3095 deal with binary messages, yet).
3097 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3099 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3101 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3102 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3103 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3104 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3105 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3106 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3108 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3109 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3111 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3112 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3114 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3115 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3118 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3120 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3122 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3123 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3126 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3129 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3131 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3132 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3133 which used unsigned chars by default.
3135 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3137 * Released nmh-0.15.
3139 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

3142 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
3144 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3146 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3149 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3150 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3151 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3153 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3154 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3156 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3158 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3159 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3161 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3162 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3163 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3164 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3166 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3167 and put in own subroutine.
3169 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3170 and put in own subroutine.
3172 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3173 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3174 refile.c to use new routine.
3176 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3178 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3180 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3183 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3184 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3185 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3187 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3190 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3191 adding message to sequence.
3193 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3194 corresponding file in sbr.
3196 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3199 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3201 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3202 all selected messages from a sequence.
3204 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3205 selected messages to a sequence.
3207 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3210 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3212 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3213 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3215 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3217 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3227 * Released nmh-0.14.
3229 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3230 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3232 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3234 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3235 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3236 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3237 environment variable.
3239 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3240 draft folder facility in nmh.
3242 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3245 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3249 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
3252 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Released nmh-0.13.
3256 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3257 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3258 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3259 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3262 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3263 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3265 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3267 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3268 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3270 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3272 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3273 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
3275 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3277 * Released nmh-0.12.
3279 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

3283 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3285 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
3286 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3288 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3289 mp->attrstats with macros.
3291 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3294 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3297 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3298 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3300 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3301 will suppress the display of the message header.
3303 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3305 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3306 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3308 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3310 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3312 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3314 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3315 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3317 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3318 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3320 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3322 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3324 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3325 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3327 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3328 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3330 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3332 * Released nmh-0.10.

3339 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3341 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3342 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3344 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3345 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3347 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3348 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3350 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3352 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3353 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3355 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3357 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3358 of missing tabs in regex.

3362 * Released nmh-0.09.
3364 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
3366 * Add configure check for killpg.

3378 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3380 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3382 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3383 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3385 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3387 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3388 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3390 * Released nmh-0.08.
3392 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3393 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3394 locking database itself.
3396 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3398 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3400 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3401 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3404 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3405 rather than mmdf format.
3407 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3408 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3409 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3410 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3412 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3414 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3416 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3419 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3420 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3421 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3423 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3424 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3425 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3427 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3429 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3430 can still easily change this in config.h).
3432 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3433 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3434 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3436 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3438 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3439 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3441 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3443 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
3445 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing

3450 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3452 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3453 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3455 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3456 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3459 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3460 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3462 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3463 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3465 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3467 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3469 * Added configure check for tzset.

3473 * Released nmh-0.06.
3475 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3476 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3478 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3479 many such machines around anymore.
3481 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3482 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3484 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3485 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3487 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3489 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3490 pre-generated version if necessary.
3492 * Released nmh-0.05.
3494 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3495 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3496 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3497 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3499 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3500 be linked in one pass.
3502 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3504 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3505 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3507 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3509 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3511 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3513 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3514 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3515 become the current folder.
3517 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3519 * Released nmh-0.04.
3521 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3524 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3526 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3527 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3528 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3530 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3532 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3533 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3535 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3537 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3538 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3541 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3542 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3544 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3546 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3547 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3548 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3549 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3550 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3551 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3553 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3555 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3556 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3558 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3559 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3561 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3563 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3564 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3566 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3568 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3569 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3570 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3572 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3574 * Released nmh-0.03.
3576 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3577 .mh_sequence file existed.
3579 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3580 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3582 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3583 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3586 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3588 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3591 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3593 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3594 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3595 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3597 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3599 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3600 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3601 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3603 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3605 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3606 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3608 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3610 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3612 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3613 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3614 directory from where the source code is located.
3616 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3618 * Released nmh-0.02.
3620 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3625 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3627 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3628 and sys_nerr directly.
3630 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3632 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3634 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3636 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3638 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3639 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3640 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3641 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3642 rather than in script.
3644 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3646 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3648 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3649 macro defined on Solaris.
3651 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3653 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3654 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3656 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3657 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3658 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3659 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3662 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3664 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3665 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3667 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3670 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3672 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3674 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3675 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3677 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3679 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3680 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3682 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3684 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3685 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3686 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3687 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3688 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3689 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3691 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3693 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3695 * Released nmh-0.01.
3697 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3698 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3699 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3702 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3704 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3707 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3709 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3710 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3712 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3714 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3715 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3716 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3717 script to find_program.
3719 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3721 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3722 speed up -recurse option.
3724 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3725 yet, but it compiles :-)
3727 * Changed default location for install to
3728 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3729 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3730 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3733 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3734 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3735 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
