3 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
4 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
6 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
7 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
8 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
9 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
12 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
14 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
15 problems on some systems
17 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
18 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
20 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
22 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
23 sendmail isn't found during build.
25 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
27 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
29 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
31 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
32 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
34 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
35 references to the web page and mailing list locations
37 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
38 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
40 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
43 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
45 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
46 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
47 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
49 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
50 was configured with --enable-apop.
52 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
53 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
54 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
56 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
59 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
60 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
61 doesn't guess wrongly.
63 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
65 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
66 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
68 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
69 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
71 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
72 files with numbers as names
74 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
76 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
78 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
80 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
82 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
83 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
85 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
87 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
90 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
91 test/report error writing to stdout
93 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
95 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
97 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
98 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
99 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
101 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
102 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
103 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
105 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
107 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
108 character set used by the current locale
110 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
111 message's filename overflows an int when converted
113 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
114 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
116 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
118 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
121 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
123 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
124 from Michael Richardson.
126 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
127 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
129 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
131 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
132 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
134 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
136 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
137 find sub-parts of the specified part
139 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
141 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
142 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
143 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
144 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
145 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
146 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
147 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
150 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
152 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
153 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
154 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
157 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
158 refiling with -src option.
160 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
162 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
164 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
166 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
167 mailpath being overwritten.
169 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
171 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
172 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
173 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
174 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
175 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
176 reinitializes the tmp file string.
178 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
179 if a format string was read from the profile.
181 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
182 path for the external hook.
184 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
186 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
187 another location for ndbm.
189 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
191 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
193 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
195 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
198 136976 - Handle binary content messages
199 143427 - mh-format.man typo
200 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
201 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
202 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
203 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
204 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
205 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
206 181867 - typo for nmh.man
208 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
210 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
211 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
212 contitional code which will result in cached data to
213 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
214 and parse on the first use.
215 * Remove some unused flag bits.
217 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
219 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
220 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
222 #578 - repl leaks umask
223 #1393 - sortm core dumps
224 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
225 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
226 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
228 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
229 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
231 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
233 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
234 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
236 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
238 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
239 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
240 to docs/README.about.
242 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
244 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
246 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
247 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
248 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
249 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
252 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
255 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
256 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
257 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
258 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
259 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
262 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
263 summary configure prints out.
265 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
266 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
267 subjectively more readable) format.
269 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
271 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
274 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
276 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
277 19xx when it's not necessary.
279 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
281 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
282 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
285 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
286 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
287 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
288 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
289 the man pages correctly.
291 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
293 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
295 * Finished manpages ali-prev
297 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
298 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
299 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
302 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
303 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
304 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
305 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
307 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
309 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
310 the formatting rules I've been using.
314 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
316 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
317 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
318 used in the manpages.
320 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
321 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
322 read in the contents of the file as the variable
325 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
326 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
327 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
328 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
329 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
330 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
331 bold flags and italicized parameters.
333 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
335 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
336 --with-locking option.
338 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
339 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
340 information was not being communicated to the
341 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
342 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
343 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
344 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
345 undefined symbols problems.
347 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
348 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
349 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
350 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
351 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
352 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
353 for a genuine krb4 installation.
355 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
357 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
358 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
360 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
362 * Made a new ./configure option called
363 "--with-locking" that allows the file
364 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
365 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
367 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
368 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
369 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
370 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
371 the user that these are the valid options, and
372 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
375 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
377 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
378 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
379 committed to supporting flex only, since
380 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
381 string, as well as other problems documented
382 below and on nmh-workers.
384 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
385 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
386 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
389 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
390 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
392 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
394 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
395 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
396 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
398 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
400 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
401 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
403 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
405 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
406 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
407 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
408 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
409 couldn't correctly identify them.
411 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
413 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
414 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
415 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
416 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
417 not depending on an external archive.
419 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
420 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
421 mts/generic is no longer built.
423 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
425 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
426 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
427 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
428 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
429 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
430 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
431 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
432 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
434 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
436 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
437 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
440 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
442 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
443 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
444 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
447 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
448 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
449 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
450 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
452 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
453 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
454 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
455 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
456 merged into the smtp code).
458 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
459 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
460 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
463 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
464 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
465 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
466 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
467 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
468 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
469 in the appropriate Makefile.in
471 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
473 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
474 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
475 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
476 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
477 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
478 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
479 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
480 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
481 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
482 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
483 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
485 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
487 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
488 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
489 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
490 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
491 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
492 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
493 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
494 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
495 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
497 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
499 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
500 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
503 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
505 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
506 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
508 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
510 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
511 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
512 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
513 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
515 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
517 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
518 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
519 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
520 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
521 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
523 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
524 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
526 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
528 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
530 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
531 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
532 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
533 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
535 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
536 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
537 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
538 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
540 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
541 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
542 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
543 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
545 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
546 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
547 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
549 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
551 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
552 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
553 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
554 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
555 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
556 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
559 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
560 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
562 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
563 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
565 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
567 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
569 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
571 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
572 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
573 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
574 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
576 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
578 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
579 be easily changed from "," to "#".
581 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
583 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
585 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
586 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
589 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
591 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
592 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
593 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
594 but not for the subsequent data stream.
596 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
598 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
599 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
600 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
601 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
602 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
604 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
606 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
607 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
609 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
610 cat, also define lorder as echo.
612 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
614 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
616 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
617 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
618 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
620 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
622 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
625 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
626 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
628 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
630 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
631 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
633 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
635 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
636 inc does not need to be setgid.
638 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
640 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
641 library, as found on Debian systems.
643 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
645 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
647 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
648 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
649 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
650 case-insensitivity flag.
652 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
654 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
655 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
657 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
659 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
660 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
661 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
662 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
663 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
664 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
665 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
666 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
667 getting moved aside).
669 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
670 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
672 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
674 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
675 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
676 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
677 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
678 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
679 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
680 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
681 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
682 the prototype, but never sets it.
684 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
685 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
686 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
687 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
688 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
689 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
691 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
692 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
693 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
694 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
695 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
697 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
699 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
700 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
703 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
704 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
705 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
706 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
707 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
708 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
709 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
711 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
713 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
715 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
716 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
717 this works on other systems.
719 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
721 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
722 checks for write failures.
724 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
726 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
728 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
731 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
733 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
735 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
737 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
738 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
741 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
743 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
744 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
745 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
746 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
748 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
750 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
751 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
754 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
755 as well as Makefiles.
757 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
759 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
760 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
761 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
762 should make maintainability easier.
764 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
765 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
766 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
767 whatever you know works.
769 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
771 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
772 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
773 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
775 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
776 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
777 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
778 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
780 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
781 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
782 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
784 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
785 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
786 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
787 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
788 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
790 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
791 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
792 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
793 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
794 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
795 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
796 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
797 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
798 from the BSD version.
800 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
801 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
802 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
804 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
807 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
810 This happens on solaris:
813 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
814 No manual entry for mts.conf.
818 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
820 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
821 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
823 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
825 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
826 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
827 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
828 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
829 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
830 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
831 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
832 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
833 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
834 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
835 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
837 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
838 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
839 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
840 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
841 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
842 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
845 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
846 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
847 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
848 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
849 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
851 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
852 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
854 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
856 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
857 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
858 to stdin, such as exmh.
860 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
861 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
862 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
865 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
868 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
869 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
870 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
871 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
872 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
873 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
875 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
877 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
878 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
880 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
882 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
883 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
885 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
887 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
890 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
891 along with any -host or -user option.
893 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
895 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
897 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
898 process was fresh in my mind.
900 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
902 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
903 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
905 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
907 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
909 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
912 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
913 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
914 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
915 part of the program's name.
917 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
918 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
921 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
923 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
924 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
925 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
926 single-character format would cause programs using this
927 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
928 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
929 when the format string was one character. This eventually
930 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
933 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
935 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
936 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
937 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
938 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
939 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
940 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
942 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
943 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
944 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
945 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
946 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
947 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
948 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
949 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
951 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
952 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
953 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
954 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
955 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
956 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
957 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
958 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
959 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
960 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
962 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
964 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
965 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
967 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
968 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
970 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
975 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
977 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
978 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
979 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
980 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
982 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
983 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
984 problem in the routine.
986 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
988 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
989 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
991 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
992 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
993 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
996 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
998 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
999 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1000 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1001 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1002 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1003 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1004 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1005 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1006 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1007 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1009 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1011 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1012 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1013 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1014 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1015 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1016 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1017 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1018 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1019 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1020 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1021 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1022 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1024 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1025 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1026 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1027 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1028 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1030 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1033 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1035 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1036 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1037 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1038 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1041 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1043 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1045 * Applied, after some finessing,
1046 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1048 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1050 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1052 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1053 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1054 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1055 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1057 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1059 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1060 forgetting to do so!).
1062 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1063 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1064 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1065 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1066 arguments to enable all three types.
1068 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1069 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1071 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1072 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1073 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1074 updated copy of mts.conf.
1076 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1078 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1079 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1080 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1082 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1084 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1086 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1087 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1088 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1090 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1091 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1092 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1094 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1095 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1096 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1098 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1100 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1102 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1104 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1106 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1107 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1109 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1110 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1111 certain suffix to run properly.
1113 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1114 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1115 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1117 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1118 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1119 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1120 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1121 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1122 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1123 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1125 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1127 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1128 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1129 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1130 until some year far in the future).
1132 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1134 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1136 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1137 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1139 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1140 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1143 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1145 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1146 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1147 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1148 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1149 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1150 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1152 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1154 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1156 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1157 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1158 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1160 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1161 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1162 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1163 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1164 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1165 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1168 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1169 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1170 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1171 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1172 of masquerading individually.
1174 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1175 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1176 GECOS field delimiters.
1178 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1180 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1181 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1182 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1183 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1184 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1185 and explaining the feature.
1187 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1189 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1190 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1193 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1194 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1195 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1197 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1198 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1199 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1200 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1202 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1203 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1204 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1207 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1209 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1210 code to be executed.
1212 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1214 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1216 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1217 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1218 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1219 quotes embedded in them.
1221 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1223 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1224 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1225 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1226 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1227 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1228 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1229 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1232 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1233 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1234 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1235 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1236 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1238 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1240 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1242 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1243 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1244 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1245 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1247 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1250 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1252 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1254 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1256 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1257 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1258 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1260 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1263 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1265 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1266 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1267 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1268 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1269 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1270 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1272 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1273 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1275 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1277 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1280 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1282 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1283 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1284 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1287 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1288 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1289 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1290 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1291 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1292 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1293 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1294 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1295 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1296 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1297 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1298 processing that post has).
1300 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1302 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1303 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1304 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1305 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1306 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1307 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1310 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1312 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1314 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1316 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1318 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1319 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1321 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1324 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1326 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1327 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1328 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1331 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1333 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1334 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1335 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1336 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1337 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1338 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1340 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1342 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1344 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1346 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1347 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1348 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1349 caught again. This works for now.
1351 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1353 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1355 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1356 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1358 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1360 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1361 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1363 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1365 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1367 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1369 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1370 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1372 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1374 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1375 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1376 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1377 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1378 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1381 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1383 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1384 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1385 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1387 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1388 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1391 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1393 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1394 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1395 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1397 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1399 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1400 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1402 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1404 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1407 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1408 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1410 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1411 macros, regardless of platform.
1413 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1414 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1416 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1417 with x-conversions=gzip.
1419 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1421 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1424 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1425 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1426 implicit definition of ioctl().
1428 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1429 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1430 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1431 want to mess with them.
1433 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1435 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1436 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1438 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1439 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1441 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1442 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1443 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1445 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1446 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1447 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1449 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1450 function initgroups.
1452 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1455 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1456 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1459 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1460 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1463 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1464 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1468 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1470 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1471 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1472 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1474 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1475 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1477 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1479 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1481 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1482 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1483 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1484 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1486 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1487 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1489 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1491 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1493 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1495 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1496 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1498 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1500 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1501 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1503 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1504 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1505 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1506 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1508 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1509 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1511 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1513 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1514 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1516 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1518 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1519 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1522 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1524 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1526 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1528 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1529 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1531 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1532 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1533 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1535 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1536 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1537 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1539 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1540 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1541 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1543 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1544 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1547 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1548 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1550 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1551 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1553 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1554 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1556 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1557 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1558 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1560 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1561 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1563 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1564 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1565 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1567 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1568 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1571 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1572 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1574 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1575 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1576 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1577 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1579 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1580 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1582 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1586 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1587 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1588 would not be changed.
1590 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1591 one from the Apache web server.
1593 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1594 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1596 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1597 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1598 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1600 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1602 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1604 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1605 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1608 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1609 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1610 removes a bad race condition.
1612 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1615 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1616 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1617 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1619 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1620 sequence information.
1622 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1623 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1625 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1628 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1631 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1633 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1634 interpret 034 as octal.
1636 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1638 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1639 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1641 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1642 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1644 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1645 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1647 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1648 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1650 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1651 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1653 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1654 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1655 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1657 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1658 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1659 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1661 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1663 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1665 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1666 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1669 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1671 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1672 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1674 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1675 header field information.
1677 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1678 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1680 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1681 values when parsing a content.
1683 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1684 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1686 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1687 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1689 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1690 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1692 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1693 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1695 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1697 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1699 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1701 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1703 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1704 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1707 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1708 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1710 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1711 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1712 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1713 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1714 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1715 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1718 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1720 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1721 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1722 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1724 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1725 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1727 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1729 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1730 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1731 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1732 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1734 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1735 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1738 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1739 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1740 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1741 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1744 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1746 * Released nmh-0.27.
1748 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1749 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1751 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1752 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1753 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1754 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1757 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1758 mhbuild returns an error.
1760 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1761 rename the draft file.
1763 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1764 use a global variable.
1766 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1767 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1769 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1770 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1772 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1773 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1774 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1776 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1777 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1779 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1780 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1783 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1784 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1787 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1788 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1790 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1791 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1792 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1794 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1795 to new function output_content_folder.
1797 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1798 new function output_content_file.
1800 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1801 to new function parse_format_string.
1803 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1804 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1805 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1806 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1808 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1809 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1810 message/external file from ftp.
1812 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1813 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1814 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1816 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1817 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1820 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1823 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1824 new file mhstoresbr.c
1826 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1829 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1830 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1832 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1833 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1835 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1836 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1837 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1839 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1841 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1843 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1844 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1847 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1848 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1850 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1853 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1855 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1857 * Released nmh-0.26.
1859 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1860 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1861 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1862 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1864 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1865 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1866 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1867 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1868 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1870 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1871 But it is not on by default.
1873 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1874 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1876 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1878 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1880 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1882 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1884 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1885 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1887 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1889 * Released nmh-0.25.
1891 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1892 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1893 uses the original name of the library.
1895 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1896 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1899 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1900 list_content and list_debug.
1902 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1904 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1905 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1907 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1909 * Released nmh-0.24.
1911 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1913 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1914 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1916 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1917 large sequence line.
1919 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1921 * Released nmh-0.23.
1923 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1925 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1926 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1927 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1928 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1930 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1931 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1934 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1936 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1938 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1940 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1941 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1943 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1944 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1946 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1947 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1949 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1950 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1952 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1954 * Released nmh-0.22.
1956 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1957 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1959 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1961 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1962 mh-profile(5) man page.
1964 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1965 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1967 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1969 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1971 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1972 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1974 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1976 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1977 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1978 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1980 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1981 source message on the standard input.
1983 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1985 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1986 rather than -rfc934mode.
1988 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1989 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1992 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1993 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1995 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1998 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2000 * Released nmh-0.21.
2002 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2003 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2005 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2008 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2009 to use for text contents.
2011 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2013 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2015 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2017 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2019 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2020 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2022 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2023 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2024 spaces between encoded word are.
2026 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2028 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2029 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2031 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2032 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2033 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2035 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2037 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2038 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2040 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2042 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2044 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2045 ISO-8859-X character set.
2047 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2050 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2051 permissions, not write permissions.
2053 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2054 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2056 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2059 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2061 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2063 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2064 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2066 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2067 message contains valid character set.
2069 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2070 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2072 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2073 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2075 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2076 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2077 between an encoded word and normal text.
2079 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2080 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2082 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2083 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2085 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2088 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2089 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2092 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2093 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2095 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2096 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2098 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2100 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2102 * Released nmh-0.20.
2104 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2106 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2108 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2109 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2110 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2112 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2113 and the To: line was missing.
2115 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2117 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2119 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2121 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2122 watch the POP transaction.
2124 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2125 first, and use it if available.
2127 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2128 first, and use it if available.
2130 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2132 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2134 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2135 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2136 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2139 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2140 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2141 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2143 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2144 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2147 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2149 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2150 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2152 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2154 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2155 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2157 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2158 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2159 message to which you are replying.
2161 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2162 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2163 making group replies.
2165 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2167 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2169 * Released nmh-0.19.
2171 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2172 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2174 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2175 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2176 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2177 to the end of the man page.
2179 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2180 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2181 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2182 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2183 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2184 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2186 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2189 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2190 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2191 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2193 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2194 the next available number above the message number you wish
2197 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2198 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2200 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2201 file sbr/seq_print.c
2203 * flist will now update the current folder.
2205 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2206 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2207 but now undocumented.
2209 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2212 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2213 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2215 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2217 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2218 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2220 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2222 * Released nmh-0.18.
2224 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2225 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2226 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2228 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2229 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2231 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2232 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2233 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2234 previous public/private status.
2236 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2239 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2242 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2243 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2244 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2246 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2247 take option to determine whether it should get current
2248 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2249 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2251 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2253 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2254 wait for stopped processes.
2256 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2257 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2259 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2261 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2263 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2264 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2266 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2267 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2269 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2270 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2271 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2272 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2274 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2277 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2280 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2282 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2283 the debugging output.
2285 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2286 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2288 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2290 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2292 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2293 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2295 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2297 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2298 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2299 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2300 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2301 in the given sequence.
2303 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2304 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2305 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2306 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2307 subdirectories of a given directory.
2309 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2310 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2311 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2313 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2314 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2316 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2318 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2321 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2322 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2323 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2325 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2326 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2327 are calculated at runtime.
2329 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2331 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.

2334 about checking for global mh.profile.
2336 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2337 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2338 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2339 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2340 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2341 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2343 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2344 adding message to folder itself.
2346 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2347 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2348 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2351 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2352 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2355 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2356 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2357 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2359 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2360 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2362 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2363 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2364 code to use it yet).
2366 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2368 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2370 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2371 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2373 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2374 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2376 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2378 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2381 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2396 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2398 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2400 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

2403 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2405 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2406 configuration files.
2408 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2414 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2416 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2417 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2419 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2422 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2423 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2425 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2426 number of refiled message.
2428 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2430 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2431 for return value of wait().
2433 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2435 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2437 * Released nmh-0.16.

2441 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2443 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2444 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2445 deal with binary messages, yet).
2447 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2449 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2451 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2452 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2453 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2454 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2455 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2456 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2458 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2459 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2461 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2462 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2464 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2465 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2468 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2470 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2472 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2473 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2476 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2479 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2481 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2482 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2483 which used unsigned chars by default.
2485 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2487 * Released nmh-0.15.
2489 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2494 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2496 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2499 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2500 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2501 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2503 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2504 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2506 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2508 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2509 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2511 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2512 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2513 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2514 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2516 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2517 and put in own subroutine.
2519 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2520 and put in own subroutine.
2522 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2523 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2524 refile.c to use new routine.
2526 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2530 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2533 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2534 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2535 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2537 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2540 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2541 adding message to sequence.
2543 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2544 corresponding file in sbr.
2546 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2549 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2551 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2552 all selected messages from a sequence.
2554 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2555 selected messages to a sequence.
2557 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2560 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2562 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2563 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2565 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2567 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2604 * Released nmh-0.13.
2606 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2607 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2608 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2609 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2612 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2613 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2615 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2617 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2618 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2620 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2622 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2644 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2647 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2648 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2650 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2651 will suppress the display of the message header.
2653 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2655 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2656 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2658 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2660 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2662 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2664 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2665 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2667 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2668 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.

2672 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2674 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2675 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2677 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2678 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2680 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2682 * Released nmh-0.10.

2689 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2692 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2694 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2695 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2697 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2730 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2732 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2733 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2735 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2738 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2740 * Released nmh-0.08.
2742 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2743 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2751 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2754 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2755 rather than mmdf format.
2757 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2758 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2759 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2760 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2762 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2764 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2766 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2769 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2770 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2771 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2773 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2774 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2775 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2777 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2779 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2780 can still easily change this in config.h).
2782 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2783 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2784 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2786 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2800 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2802 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2803 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2805 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2806 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2809 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2810 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2812 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2813 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2815 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2817 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2819 * Added configure check for tzset.

2823 * Released nmh-0.06.
2825 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2826 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2828 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2829 many such machines around anymore.
2831 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2832 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2834 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2835 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2837 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2840 pre-generated version if necessary.
2842 * Released nmh-0.05.
2844 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2845 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2846 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2847 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2849 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2850 be linked in one pass.
2852 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2854 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2855 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2857 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2861 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2864 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2865 become the current folder.
2867 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2869 * Released nmh-0.04.
2871 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have

2876 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2877 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2878 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2880 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2882 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2883 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2885 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2887 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2888 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2891 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2892 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2894 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2896 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2897 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2898 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2899 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2900 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2901 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2903 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2905 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2906 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2908 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2909 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2911 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2913 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2914 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2916 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2918 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2919 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2920 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2922 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2924 * Released nmh-0.03.
2926 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2927 .mh_sequence file existed.
2929 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2930 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2932 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2933 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2936 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2941 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2943 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2944 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2945 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2947 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2950 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2951 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2953 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2955 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2956 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2958 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2960 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2962 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2963 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2964 directory from where the source code is located.
2966 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2968 * Released nmh-0.02.
2970 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2975 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2978 and sys_nerr directly.
2980 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2982 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2984 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2986 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2989 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2990 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2991 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2992 rather than in script.
2994 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2996 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2998 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2999 macro defined on Solaris.
3001 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3004 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3006 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3007 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3008 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3009 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3012 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3014 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3015 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3017 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3020 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3022 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3024 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3025 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3027 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3029 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3030 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3032 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3034 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3035 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3036 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3037 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3038 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3039 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3041 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3045 * Released nmh-0.01.
3047 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3048 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3049 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3052 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3054 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3057 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3059 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3060 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3062 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3064 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3065 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3066 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3067 script to find_program.
3069 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3071 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3072 speed up -recurse option.
3074 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3075 yet, but it compiles :-)
3077 * Changed default location for install to
3078 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3079 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3080 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3083 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3084 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3085 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
