1 2010-11-10 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * configure.in: add a level of expansion for mandir
4 when printing the end-of-configure install path
7 2010-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
9 * man/rmm.man: fix error in synopsis: the option is
10 [no]unlink, not [no]link.
12 2010-08-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
14 * uip/.cvsignore: added "new".
16 2010-02-03 Earl Hood <earl@earlhood.com>
18 * Bug #15213, #18635: The use of the insecure m_scratch() and
19 m_tmpfil() functions have been replaced by m_mktemp()
20 or m_mktemp2() functions (defined in sbr/m_mktemp.c).
21 The new functions use mkstemp() to securely create
22 temporary files to avoid the numerous race conditions
23 that exist with the old functions. This does assume
24 that mkstemp() is available. Unsure if we need to
25 create an alternative implementation if mkstemp() is
26 not available. More information about new temp file
27 functions in m_mktemp.c, including the support for
28 MHTMPDIR, TMPDIR, and TMP envvars.
30 2010-02-02 Earl Hood <earl@earlhood.com>
32 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: added SASL support if mts configuration
33 setting is set to "sendmail". This is useful if sendmail
34 conf option is to a custom script that creates a proxy
35 connection to an smtp server.
37 * sbr/mts.c: added support for MHMTSCONF and MHMTSUSERCONF
38 envvars. The former specifies an alternative system
39 mts.conf to use. The later specifies a user-specific
40 mts.conf to use. This one will be read after the system
41 conf, so the user's conf only needs to set options they
42 want to override. The MHMTSUSERCONF allows a user to set
43 personal alternative mail submission methods w/o affecting
44 other users on the system.
46 * uip/whom.c: added SASL-based options so address checking
47 can work against a server that requires SASL.
49 2009-12-29 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
51 * uip/mhlistsbr.c, uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/picksbr.c: cast
52 pointers to unsigned long before casting to unsigned int
53 to avoid warnings on 64-bit about casting from pointer
54 to int of different size.
56 * uip/new.c: cast folder_len to int to avoid warning on
57 64-bit about passing a size_t to an int conversion specifier.
59 2009-12-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
61 * uip/inc.c: gcc 4.4.1 noticed that maildir could have been
62 used before initialization. In fact, if that code was ever
63 reached, maildir would never have been initialized. It's in
64 an adios call, so replaced with NULL.
66 2009-12-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
68 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: In sm_auth_sasl (), removed zeroing of
69 sasl_inbuffer because it could be used in sm_fget (). Also,
70 removed allocation of sasl_inbuffer because that was done in
71 either smtp_init () or sendmail_init ().
73 2009-01-17 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
75 * etc/mhn.defaults.sh: Never try to make mhshow start xterm.
77 2009-01-16 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
79 * test/runtest, test/tests/inc/test-deb359167,
80 test/tests/inc/test-eom-align, test/tests/manpages/test-manpages:
81 Load common.sh via absolute path, otherwise some /bin/sh
82 (e.g. dash) can't load it.
84 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/new.c, test/tests/new/test-basic: Add new
85 program, and fn/fp/unseen symlinks.
87 * test/{runtest,setup-test}: Move MH profile under Mail directory
88 so each test script will have its own to muck with, if needed.
90 * h/Makefile.in, h/crawl_folders.h, sbr/Makefile.in,
91 sbr/crawl_folders.c, uip/folder.c: Extract the folder crawling
92 code from folder.c into new crawl_folders function, using a
93 callback to assemble the folder info in folder.c. Drop compare
94 function and use strcmp instead. Rename addfold and addir to
95 add_folder and add_children (add dir vs. add folder?
98 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
100 * sbr/m_getfld.c: fix two bugs which could cause us to walk off
101 the beginning of the stdio or prefix-string buffer when checking
102 for presence of the end-of-message delimiter in some situations.
103 This might cause inc to dump core if you were unlucky. (This was
105 * test/tests/inc/{md5sums,msgheader.txt,test-deb359167,
106 test-eom-align,fromline.txt,filler.txt,deb359167.mbox}: new tests
107 both for the specific problem and to try to check various alignments
108 of the eom string with the stdio buffer ending.
109 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
110 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
111 new file. Added some functions for doing progress indicators.
113 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
115 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
116 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
118 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
120 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
121 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
122 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
123 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
126 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
128 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
129 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
130 "is greater than or equal to".
132 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
134 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
135 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
138 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
140 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
141 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
142 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
143 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
145 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
147 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
148 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
151 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
154 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
155 and send output there rather than to stdout.
157 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
158 end up going to stdout.
160 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
162 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
163 waiting until the very end to print anything.
164 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
165 instead of searching the messages first.
167 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
169 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
170 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
172 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
174 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
177 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
179 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
181 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
182 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
185 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
186 'static' from the definitions here.
187 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
189 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
190 support get_ctinfo change).
191 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
192 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
193 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
194 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
195 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
196 suffixes, not prefixes.
197 (openMail): Explain showproc.
199 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
200 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
202 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
203 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
205 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
207 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
209 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
210 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
211 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
212 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
214 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
216 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
219 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
220 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
221 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
223 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
225 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
226 autotools in the right order
227 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
229 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
230 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
231 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
233 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
235 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
236 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
238 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
240 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
241 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
242 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
243 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
244 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
246 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
248 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
251 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
253 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
254 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
255 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
256 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
257 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
258 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
259 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
261 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
263 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
264 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
266 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
267 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
268 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
269 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
270 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
272 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
273 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
274 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
276 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
277 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
278 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
279 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
280 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
281 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
282 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
283 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
284 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
286 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
288 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
291 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
293 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
294 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
295 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
296 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
297 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
298 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
300 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
302 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
304 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
306 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
307 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
310 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
311 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
312 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
314 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
317 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
319 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
320 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
321 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
323 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
324 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
325 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
327 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
329 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
330 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
331 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
332 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
333 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
334 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
335 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
337 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
339 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
340 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
342 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
344 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
345 with multibyte support.
347 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
348 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
349 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
350 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
352 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
354 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
355 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
357 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
358 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
360 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
362 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
363 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
364 the address of a static array.
366 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
368 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
369 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
371 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
373 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
374 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
375 This allows users to masquerade with the default
376 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
377 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
378 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
381 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
383 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
384 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
385 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
386 ruserpass() has a void return type.
388 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
389 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
390 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
391 provide memmove() substitute implementation
393 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
394 source directory' feature
396 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
397 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
399 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
401 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
402 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
403 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
406 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
408 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
409 is the wrong approach.
411 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
412 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
413 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
416 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
417 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
418 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
419 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
420 broken for continued lines from the server.
422 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
424 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
425 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
427 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
429 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
431 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
434 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
436 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
438 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
440 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
441 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
442 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
443 obsolete feature of autoconf
445 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
447 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
448 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
449 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
451 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
453 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
454 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
456 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
458 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
461 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
463 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
464 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
465 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
466 following done() (should never be reached).
468 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
470 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
471 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
473 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
475 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
476 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
478 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
480 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
481 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
482 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
483 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
484 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
485 acconfig.h if you must.
487 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
489 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
490 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
491 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
492 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
494 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
496 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
499 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
501 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
502 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
503 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
504 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
505 have Content-Disposition.
507 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
509 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
512 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
514 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
515 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
517 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
519 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
520 encoded block is empty
522 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
524 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
525 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
526 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
529 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
531 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
532 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
535 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
537 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
538 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
539 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
540 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
543 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
544 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
546 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
548 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
549 function num_digits into utils.c
551 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
553 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
554 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
555 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
557 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
559 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
560 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
561 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
562 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
563 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
564 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
565 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
566 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
568 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
570 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
571 Content-Disposition header.
573 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
575 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
576 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
577 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
578 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
579 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
580 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
581 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
582 users to easily accomodate that by adding
583 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
585 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
587 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
588 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
590 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
592 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
594 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
595 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
597 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
598 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
600 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
602 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
603 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
604 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
605 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
606 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
609 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
611 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
612 widths, restoring right justification feature
614 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
616 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
617 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
618 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
620 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
623 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
625 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
626 handling multi column characters.
628 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
630 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
632 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
634 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
635 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
638 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
640 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
642 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
644 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
647 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
649 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
652 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
654 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
655 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
656 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
657 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
659 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
661 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
662 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
663 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
664 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
665 where configure's autodetection fails.
667 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
669 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
670 configure script change.
672 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
674 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
675 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
676 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
679 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
681 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
682 the context is only read once.
684 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
686 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
687 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
689 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
691 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
692 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
694 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
695 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
698 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
699 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
702 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
704 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
705 vi isn't found during build.
707 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
709 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
710 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
712 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
713 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
714 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
716 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
718 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
719 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
721 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
722 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
723 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
724 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
727 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
728 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
729 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
731 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
732 entry in the context file.
734 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
736 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
737 problems on some systems
739 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
740 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
742 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
744 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
745 sendmail isn't found during build.
747 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
749 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
751 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
753 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
754 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
756 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
757 references to the web page and mailing list locations
759 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
760 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
762 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
765 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
767 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
768 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
769 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
771 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
772 was configured with --enable-apop.
774 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
775 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
776 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
778 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
779 new versions of flex.
781 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
782 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
783 doesn't guess wrongly.
785 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
787 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
788 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
790 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
791 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
793 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
794 files with numbers as names
796 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
798 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
800 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
802 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
804 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
805 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
807 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
809 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
812 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
813 test/report error writing to stdout
815 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
817 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
819 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
820 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
821 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
823 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
824 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
825 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
827 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
829 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
830 character set used by the current locale
832 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
833 message's filename overflows an int when converted
835 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
836 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
838 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
840 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
843 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
845 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
846 from Michael Richardson.
848 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
849 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
851 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
853 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
854 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
856 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
858 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
859 find sub-parts of the specified part
861 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
863 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
864 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
865 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
866 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
867 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
868 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
869 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
872 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
874 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
875 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
876 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
879 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
880 refiling with -src option.
882 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
884 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
886 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
888 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
889 mailpath being overwritten.
891 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
893 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
894 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
895 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
896 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
897 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
898 reinitializes the tmp file string.
900 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
901 if a format string was read from the profile.
903 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
904 path for the external hook.
906 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
908 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
909 another location for ndbm.
911 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
913 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
915 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
917 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
920 136976 - Handle binary content messages
921 143427 - mh-format.man typo
922 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
923 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
924 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
925 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
926 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
927 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
928 181867 - typo for nmh.man
930 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
932 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
933 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
934 contitional code which will result in cached data to
935 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
936 and parse on the first use.
937 * Remove some unused flag bits.
939 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
941 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
942 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
944 #578 - repl leaks umask
945 #1393 - sortm core dumps
946 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
947 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
948 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
950 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
951 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
953 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
955 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
956 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
958 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
960 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
961 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
962 to docs/README.about.
964 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
966 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
968 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
969 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
970 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
971 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
974 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
977 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
978 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
979 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
980 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
981 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
984 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
985 summary configure prints out.
987 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
988 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
989 subjectively more readable) format.
991 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
993 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
996 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
998 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
999 19xx when it's not necessary.
1001 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1003 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
1004 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
1007 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
1008 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
1009 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
1010 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
1011 the man pages correctly.
1013 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
1015 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1017 * Finished manpages ali-prev
1019 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
1020 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
1021 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
1024 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
1025 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
1026 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
1027 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
1029 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1031 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
1032 the formatting rules I've been using.
1036 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1038 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
1039 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
1040 used in the manpages.
1042 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
1043 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
1044 read in the contents of the file as the variable
1047 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
1048 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
1049 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
1050 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
1051 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
1052 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
1053 bold flags and italicized parameters.
1055 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1057 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
1058 --with-locking option.
1060 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
1061 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
1062 information was not being communicated to the
1063 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
1064 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
1065 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
1066 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
1067 undefined symbols problems.
1069 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
1070 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
1071 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
1072 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
1073 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
1074 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
1075 for a genuine krb4 installation.
1077 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1079 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
1080 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1082 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1084 * Made a new ./configure option called
1085 "--with-locking" that allows the file
1086 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
1087 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
1089 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
1090 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
1091 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
1092 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
1093 the user that these are the valid options, and
1094 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
1097 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1099 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
1100 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
1101 committed to supporting flex only, since
1102 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
1103 string, as well as other problems documented
1104 below and on nmh-workers.
1106 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1107 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1108 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1111 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1112 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1114 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1116 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1117 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1118 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1120 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1122 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1123 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1125 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1127 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1128 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1129 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1130 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1131 couldn't correctly identify them.
1133 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1135 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1136 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1137 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1138 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1139 not depending on an external archive.
1141 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1142 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1143 mts/generic is no longer built.
1145 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1147 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1148 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1149 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1150 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1151 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1152 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1153 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1154 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1156 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1158 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1159 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1162 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1164 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1165 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1166 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1169 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1170 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1171 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1172 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1174 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1175 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1176 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1177 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1178 merged into the smtp code).
1180 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1181 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1182 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1185 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1186 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1187 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1188 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1189 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1190 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1191 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1193 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1195 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1196 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1197 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1198 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1199 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1200 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1201 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1202 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1203 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1204 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1205 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1207 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1210 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1211 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1212 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1213 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1214 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1215 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1216 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1217 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1219 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1221 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1222 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1223 able to access them.
1225 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1227 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1228 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1230 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1232 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1233 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1234 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1235 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1237 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1239 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1240 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1241 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1242 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1243 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1245 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1246 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1248 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1250 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1252 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1253 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1254 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1255 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1257 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1258 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1259 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1260 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1262 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1263 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1264 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1265 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1267 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1268 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1269 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1271 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1273 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1274 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1275 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1276 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1277 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1278 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1281 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1282 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1284 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1285 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1287 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1289 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1291 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1293 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1294 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1295 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1296 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1298 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1300 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1301 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1303 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1305 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1307 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1308 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1311 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1313 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1314 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1315 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1316 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1318 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1320 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1321 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1322 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1323 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1324 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1326 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1328 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1329 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1331 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1332 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1334 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1336 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1338 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1339 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1340 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1342 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1344 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1347 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1348 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1350 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1352 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1353 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1355 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1357 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1358 inc does not need to be setgid.
1360 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1362 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1363 library, as found on Debian systems.
1365 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1367 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1369 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1370 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1371 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1372 case-insensitivity flag.
1374 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1376 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1377 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1379 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1381 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1382 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1383 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1384 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1385 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1386 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1387 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1388 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1389 getting moved aside).
1391 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1392 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1394 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1396 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1397 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1398 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1399 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1400 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1401 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1402 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1403 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1404 the prototype, but never sets it.
1406 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1407 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1408 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1409 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1410 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1411 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1413 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1414 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1415 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1416 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1417 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1419 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1421 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1422 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1425 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1426 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1427 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1428 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1429 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1430 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1431 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1433 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1435 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1437 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1438 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1439 this works on other systems.
1441 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1443 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1444 checks for write failures.
1446 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1448 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1450 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1453 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1455 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1457 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1459 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1460 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1463 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1465 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1466 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1467 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1468 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1470 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1472 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1473 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1476 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1477 as well as Makefiles.
1479 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1481 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1482 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1483 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1484 should make maintainability easier.
1486 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1487 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1488 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1489 whatever you know works.
1491 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1493 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1494 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1495 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1497 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1498 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1499 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1500 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1502 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1503 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1504 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1506 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1507 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1508 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1509 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1510 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1512 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1513 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1514 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1515 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1516 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1517 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1518 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1519 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1520 from the BSD version.
1522 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1523 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1524 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1526 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1527 in ruserpass.c also.
1529 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1532 This happens on solaris:
1535 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1536 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1540 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1542 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1543 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1545 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1547 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1548 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1549 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1550 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1551 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1552 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1553 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1554 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1555 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1556 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1557 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1559 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1560 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1561 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1562 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1563 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1564 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1567 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1568 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1569 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1570 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1571 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1573 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1574 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1576 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1578 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1579 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1580 to stdin, such as exmh.
1582 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1583 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1584 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1587 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1589 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1590 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1591 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1592 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1593 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1594 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1595 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1597 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1599 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1600 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1602 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1604 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1605 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1607 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1609 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1612 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1613 along with any -host or -user option.
1615 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1617 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1619 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1620 process was fresh in my mind.
1622 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1624 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1625 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1627 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1629 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1631 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1634 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1635 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1636 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1637 part of the program's name.
1639 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1640 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1643 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1645 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1646 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1647 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1648 single-character format would cause programs using this
1649 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1650 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1651 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1652 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1655 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1657 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1658 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1659 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1660 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1661 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1662 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1664 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1665 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1666 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1667 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1668 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1669 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1670 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1671 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1673 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1674 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1675 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1676 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1677 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1678 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1679 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1680 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1681 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1682 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1684 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1686 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1687 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1689 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1690 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1692 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1697 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1699 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1700 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1701 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1702 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1704 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1705 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1706 problem in the routine.
1708 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1710 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1711 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1713 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1714 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1715 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1718 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1720 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1721 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1722 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1723 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1724 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1725 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1726 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1727 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1728 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1729 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1731 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1733 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1734 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1735 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1736 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1737 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1738 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1739 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1740 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1741 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1742 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1743 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1744 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1746 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1747 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1748 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1749 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1750 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1752 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1755 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1757 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1758 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1759 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1760 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1763 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1765 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1767 * Applied, after some finessing,
1768 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1770 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1772 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1774 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1775 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1776 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1777 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1779 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1781 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1782 forgetting to do so!).
1784 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1785 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1786 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1787 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1788 arguments to enable all three types.
1790 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1791 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1793 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1794 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1795 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1796 updated copy of mts.conf.
1798 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1800 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1801 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1802 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1804 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1806 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1808 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1809 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1810 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1812 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1813 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1814 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1816 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1817 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1818 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1820 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1822 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1824 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1826 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1828 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1829 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1831 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1832 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1833 certain suffix to run properly.
1835 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1836 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1837 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1839 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1840 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1841 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1842 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1843 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1844 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1845 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1847 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1849 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1850 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1851 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1852 until some year far in the future).
1854 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1856 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1858 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1859 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1861 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1862 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1865 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1867 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1868 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1869 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1870 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1871 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1872 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1874 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1876 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1878 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1879 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1880 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1882 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1883 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1884 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1885 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1886 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1887 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1890 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1891 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1892 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1893 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1894 of masquerading individually.
1896 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1897 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1898 GECOS field delimiters.
1900 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1902 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1903 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1904 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1905 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1906 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1907 and explaining the feature.
1909 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1911 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1912 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1915 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1916 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1917 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1919 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1920 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1921 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1922 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1924 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1925 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1926 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1929 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1931 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1932 code to be executed.
1934 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1936 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1938 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1939 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1940 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1941 quotes embedded in them.
1943 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1945 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1946 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1947 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1948 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1949 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1950 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1951 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1954 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1955 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1956 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1957 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1958 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1960 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1962 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1964 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1965 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1966 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1967 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1969 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1972 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1974 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1976 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1978 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1979 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1980 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1982 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1985 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1987 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1988 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1989 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1990 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1991 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1992 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1994 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1995 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1997 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1999 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
2002 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2004 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
2005 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
2006 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
2009 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
2010 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
2011 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
2012 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
2013 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
2014 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
2015 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
2016 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
2017 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
2018 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
2019 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
2020 processing that post has).
2022 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2024 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
2025 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
2026 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
2027 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
2028 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
2029 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
2032 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2034 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
2036 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
2038 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
2040 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
2041 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
2043 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
2046 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2048 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
2049 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
2050 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
2053 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2055 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
2056 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
2057 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
2058 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
2059 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
2060 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
2062 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2064 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
2066 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2068 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
2069 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
2070 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
2071 caught again. This works for now.
2073 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
2075 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2077 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
2078 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
2080 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2082 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
2083 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
2085 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
2087 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
2089 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2091 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
2092 changes. Both need more cleanup.
2094 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2096 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
2097 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
2098 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
2099 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
2100 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
2103 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2105 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2106 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2107 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2109 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2110 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2113 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2115 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2116 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2117 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2119 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2121 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2122 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2124 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2126 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2129 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2130 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2132 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2133 macros, regardless of platform.
2135 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2136 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2138 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2139 with x-conversions=gzip.
2141 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2143 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2146 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2147 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2148 implicit definition of ioctl().
2150 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2151 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2152 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2153 want to mess with them.
2155 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2157 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2158 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2160 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2161 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2163 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2164 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2165 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2167 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2168 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2169 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2171 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2172 function initgroups.
2174 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2177 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2178 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2181 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2182 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2185 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2186 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2190 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2192 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2193 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2194 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2196 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2197 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2199 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2201 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2203 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2204 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2205 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2206 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2208 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2209 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2211 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2213 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2215 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2217 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2218 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2220 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2222 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2223 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2225 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2226 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2227 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2228 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2230 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2231 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2233 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2235 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2236 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2238 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2240 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2241 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2244 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2246 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2248 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2250 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2251 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2253 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2254 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2255 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2257 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2258 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2259 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2261 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2262 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2263 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2265 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2266 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2269 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2270 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2272 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2273 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2275 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2276 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2278 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2279 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2280 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2282 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2283 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2285 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2286 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2287 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2289 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2290 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2293 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2294 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2296 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2297 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2298 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2299 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2301 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2302 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2304 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2308 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2309 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2310 would not be changed.
2312 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2313 one from the Apache web server.
2315 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2316 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2318 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2319 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2320 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2322 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2324 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2326 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2327 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2330 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2331 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2332 removes a bad race condition.
2334 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2337 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2338 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2339 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2341 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2342 sequence information.
2344 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2345 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2347 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2350 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2353 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2355 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2356 interpret 034 as octal.
2358 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2360 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2361 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2363 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2364 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2366 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2367 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2369 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2370 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2372 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2373 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2375 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2376 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2377 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2379 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2380 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2381 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2383 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2385 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2387 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2388 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2391 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2393 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2394 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2396 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2397 header field information.
2399 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2400 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2402 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2403 values when parsing a content.
2405 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2406 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2408 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2409 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2411 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2412 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2414 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2415 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2417 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2419 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2421 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2423 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2425 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2426 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2429 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2430 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2432 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2433 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2434 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2435 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2436 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2437 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2440 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2442 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2443 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2444 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2446 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2447 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2449 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2451 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2452 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2453 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2454 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2456 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2457 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2460 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2461 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2462 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2463 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2466 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Released nmh-0.27.
2470 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2471 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2473 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2474 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2475 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2476 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2479 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2480 mhbuild returns an error.
2482 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2483 rename the draft file.
2485 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2486 use a global variable.
2488 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2489 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2491 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2492 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2494 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2495 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2496 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2498 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2499 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2501 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2502 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2505 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2506 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2509 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2510 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2512 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2513 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2514 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2516 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2517 to new function output_content_folder.
2519 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2520 new function output_content_file.
2522 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2523 to new function parse_format_string.
2525 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2526 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2527 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2528 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2530 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2531 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2532 message/external file from ftp.
2534 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2535 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2536 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2538 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2539 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2542 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2545 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2546 new file mhstoresbr.c
2548 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2551 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2552 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2554 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2555 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2557 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2558 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2559 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2561 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2563 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2565 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2566 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2569 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2570 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2572 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2575 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2577 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * Released nmh-0.26.
2581 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2582 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2583 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2584 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2586 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2587 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2588 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2589 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2590 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2592 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2593 But it is not on by default.
2595 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2596 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2598 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2600 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2602 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2604 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2606 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2607 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2609 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611 * Released nmh-0.25.
2613 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2614 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2615 uses the original name of the library.
2617 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2618 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2621 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2622 list_content and list_debug.
2624 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2626 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2627 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2629 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631 * Released nmh-0.24.
2633 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2635 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2636 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2638 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2639 large sequence line.
2641 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Released nmh-0.23.
2645 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2647 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2648 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2649 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2650 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2652 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2653 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2656 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2658 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2660 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2662 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2663 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2665 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2666 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2668 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2669 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2671 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2672 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2674 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2676 * Released nmh-0.22.
2678 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2679 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2681 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2683 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2684 mh-profile(5) man page.
2686 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2687 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2689 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2693 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2694 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2696 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2698 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2699 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2700 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2702 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2703 source message on the standard input.
2705 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2707 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2708 rather than -rfc934mode.
2710 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2711 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2714 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2715 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2717 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2720 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2722 * Released nmh-0.21.
2724 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2725 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2727 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2730 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2731 to use for text contents.
2733 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2735 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2739 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2741 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2742 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2744 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2745 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2746 spaces between encoded word are.
2748 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2750 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2751 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2753 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2754 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2755 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2757 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2759 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2760 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2762 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2764 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2766 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2767 ISO-8859-X character set.
2769 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2772 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2773 permissions, not write permissions.
2775 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2776 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2778 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2781 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2785 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2786 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2788 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2789 message contains valid character set.
2791 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2792 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2794 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2795 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2797 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2798 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2799 between an encoded word and normal text.
2801 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2802 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2804 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2805 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2807 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2810 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2811 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2814 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2815 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2817 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2818 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2820 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2822 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2824 * Released nmh-0.20.
2826 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2828 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2830 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2831 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2832 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2834 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2835 and the To: line was missing.
2837 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2839 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2841 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2843 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2844 watch the POP transaction.
2846 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2847 first, and use it if available.
2849 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2850 first, and use it if available.
2852 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2854 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2856 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2857 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2858 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2861 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2862 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2863 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2865 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2866 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2869 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2871 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2872 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2874 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2876 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2877 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2879 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2880 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2881 message to which you are replying.
2883 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2884 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2885 making group replies.
2887 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2889 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2891 * Released nmh-0.19.
2893 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2894 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2896 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2897 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2898 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2899 to the end of the man page.
2901 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2902 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2903 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2904 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2905 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2906 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2908 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2911 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2912 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2913 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2915 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2916 the next available number above the message number you wish
2919 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2920 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2922 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2923 file sbr/seq_print.c
2925 * flist will now update the current folder.
2927 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2928 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2929 but now undocumented.
2931 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2934 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2935 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2937 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2939 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2940 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2942 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2944 * Released nmh-0.18.
2946 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2947 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2948 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2950 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2951 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2953 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2954 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2955 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2956 previous public/private status.
2958 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2961 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2964 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2965 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2966 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2968 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2969 take option to determine whether it should get current
2970 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2971 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2973 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2975 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2976 wait for stopped processes.
2978 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2979 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2981 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2983 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2985 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2986 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2988 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2989 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2991 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2992 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2993 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2994 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2996 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2999 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
3002 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
3004 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
3005 the debugging output.
3007 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
3008 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
3010 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3012 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
3014 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
3015 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
3017 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
3019 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
3020 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
3021 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
3022 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
3023 in the given sequence.
3025 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
3026 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
3027 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
3028 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
3029 subdirectories of a given directory.
3031 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
3032 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
3033 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
3035 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
3036 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
3038 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
3040 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
3043 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
3044 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
3045 fields are now calculated at runtime.
3047 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
3048 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
3049 are calculated at runtime.
3051 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
3055 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
3056 about checking for global mh.profile.
3058 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
3059 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
3060 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
3061 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
3062 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
3063 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
3065 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
3066 adding message to folder itself.
3068 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
3069 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
3070 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
3073 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
3074 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
3077 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
3078 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
3079 is the same as the direct smtp code).
3081 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
3082 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
3084 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
3085 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
3086 code to use it yet).
3088 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3090 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
3092 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
3093 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
3095 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
3096 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
3098 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
3100 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
3103 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3107 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3109 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3111 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3112 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3114 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3116 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3118 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3120 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3122 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3124 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3125 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3127 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3128 configuration files.
3130 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
3132 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3134 * Released nmh-0.17.
3136 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3138 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3139 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3141 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3144 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3145 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3147 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3148 number of refiled message.
3150 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3152 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3153 for return value of wait().
3155 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3157 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3159 * Released nmh-0.16.
3161 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3163 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3165 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3166 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3167 deal with binary messages, yet).
3169 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3171 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3173 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3174 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3175 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3176 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3177 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3178 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3180 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3181 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3183 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3184 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3186 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3187 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3190 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3192 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3194 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3195 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3198 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3201 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3203 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3204 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3205 which used unsigned chars by default.
3207 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3209 * Released nmh-0.15.
3211 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

3216 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3218 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3221 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3222 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3223 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3225 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3226 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3228 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3230 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3231 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3233 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3234 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3235 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3236 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3238 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3239 and put in own subroutine.
3241 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3242 and put in own subroutine.
3244 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3245 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3246 refile.c to use new routine.
3248 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3250 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3252 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3255 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3256 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3257 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3259 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3262 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3263 adding message to sequence.
3265 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3266 corresponding file in sbr.
3268 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3271 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3273 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3274 all selected messages from a sequence.
3276 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3277 selected messages to a sequence.
3279 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3282 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3285 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3287 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3289 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
3290 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
3292 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3294 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
3295 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

3299 * Released nmh-0.14.
3301 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3302 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3304 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3306 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3307 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3308 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3309 environment variable.
3311 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3312 draft folder facility in nmh.
3314 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3317 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3321 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
3324 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3326 * Released nmh-0.13.
3328 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3329 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3330 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3331 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3334 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3335 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3337 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3340 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3342 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3344 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3345 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

3358 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3360 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3361 mp->attrstats with macros.

3369 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3370 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3372 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3373 will suppress the display of the message header.
3375 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3377 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3378 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3380 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3382 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3384 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3386 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3387 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3389 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3390 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3392 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3394 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3396 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3397 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3399 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3400 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3402 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3404 * Released nmh-0.10.

3411 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3413 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3414 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3416 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3417 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3419 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3420 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3422 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3424 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3425 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3427 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3429 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3430 of missing tabs in regex.

3457 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3459 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3460 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3462 * Released nmh-0.08.
3464 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3465 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3466 locking database itself.
3468 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3470 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3472 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3473 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3476 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3477 rather than mmdf format.
3479 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3480 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3481 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3482 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3484 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3486 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3488 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3491 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3492 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3493 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3495 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3496 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3497 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3499 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3501 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3502 can still easily change this in config.h).
3504 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3505 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3506 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3508 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3510 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3511 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3513 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3515 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

3522 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3524 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3525 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3527 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3528 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3531 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3532 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3534 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3535 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3537 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3539 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3541 * Added configure check for tzset.

3545 * Released nmh-0.06.
3547 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3548 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3550 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3551 many such machines around anymore.
3553 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3554 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3556 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3557 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3559 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3561 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3562 pre-generated version if necessary.
3564 * Released nmh-0.05.
3566 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3567 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3568 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3569 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3571 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3572 be linked in one pass.
3574 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3576 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3577 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3579 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3581 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3583 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3585 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3586 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3587 become the current folder.
3589 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3591 * Released nmh-0.04.
3593 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3596 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3598 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3599 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3600 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3602 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3604 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3605 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3607 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3609 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3610 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3613 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3614 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3616 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3618 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3619 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3620 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3621 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3622 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3623 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3625 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3627 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3628 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3630 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3631 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3633 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3635 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3636 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3638 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3640 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3641 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3642 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3644 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3646 * Released nmh-0.03.
3648 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3649 .mh_sequence file existed.
3651 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3652 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3654 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3655 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3658 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3660 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3663 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3665 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3666 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3667 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3669 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3671 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3672 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3673 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3675 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3677 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3678 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3680 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3682 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3684 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3685 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3686 directory from where the source code is located.
3688 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3690 * Released nmh-0.02.
3692 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3697 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3699 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3700 and sys_nerr directly.
3702 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3704 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3706 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3708 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3710 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3711 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3712 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3713 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3714 rather than in script.
3716 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3718 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3720 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3721 macro defined on Solaris.
3723 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3725 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3726 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3728 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3729 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3730 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3731 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3734 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3736 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3737 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3739 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3742 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3744 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3746 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3747 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3749 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3751 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3752 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3754 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3756 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3757 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3758 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3759 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3760 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3761 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3763 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3765 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3767 * Released nmh-0.01.
3769 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3770 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3771 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3774 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3776 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3779 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3781 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3782 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3784 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3786 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3787 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3788 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3789 script to find_program.
3791 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3793 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3794 speed up -recurse option.
3796 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3797 yet, but it compiles :-)
3799 * Changed default location for install to
3800 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3801 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3802 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3805 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3806 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3807 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
