1 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
6 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
7 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
8 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
11 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
12 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
13 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
14 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
15 broken for continued lines from the server.
17 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
19 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
20 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
22 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
24 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
26 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
29 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
31 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
33 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
35 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
36 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
37 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
38 obsolete feature of autoconf
40 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
42 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
43 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
44 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
46 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
48 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
49 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
51 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
53 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
56 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
58 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
59 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
60 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
61 following done() (should never be reached).
63 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
65 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
66 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
68 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
70 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
71 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
73 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
75 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
76 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
77 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
78 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
79 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
80 acconfig.h if you must.
82 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
84 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
85 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
86 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
87 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
89 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
91 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
94 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
96 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
97 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
98 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
99 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
100 have Content-Disposition.
102 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
104 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
107 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
109 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
110 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
112 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
114 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
115 encoded block is empty
117 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
119 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
120 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
121 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
124 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
126 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
127 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
130 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
132 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
133 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
134 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
135 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
138 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
139 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
141 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
143 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
144 function num_digits into utils.c
146 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
148 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
149 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
150 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
152 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
154 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
155 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
156 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
157 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
158 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
159 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
160 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
161 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
163 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
165 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
166 Content-Disposition header.
168 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
170 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
171 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
172 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
173 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
174 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
175 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
176 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
177 users to easily accomodate that by adding
178 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
180 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
182 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
183 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
185 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
187 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
189 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
190 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
192 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
193 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
195 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
197 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
198 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
199 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
200 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
201 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
204 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
206 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
207 widths, restoring right justification feature
209 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
211 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
212 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
213 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
215 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
218 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
220 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
221 handling multi column characters.
223 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
225 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
227 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
229 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
230 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
233 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
235 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
237 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
239 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
242 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
244 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
247 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
249 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
250 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
251 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
252 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
254 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
256 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
257 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
258 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
259 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
260 where configure's autodetection fails.
262 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
264 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
265 configure script change.
267 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
269 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
270 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
271 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
274 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
276 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
277 the context is only read once.
279 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
281 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
282 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
284 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
286 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
287 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
289 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
290 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
293 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
294 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
297 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
299 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
300 vi isn't found during build.
302 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
304 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
305 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
307 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
308 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
309 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
311 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
313 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
314 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
316 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
317 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
318 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
319 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
322 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
323 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
324 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
326 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
327 entry in the context file.
329 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
331 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
332 problems on some systems
334 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
335 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
337 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
339 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
340 sendmail isn't found during build.
342 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
344 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
346 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
348 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
349 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
351 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
352 references to the web page and mailing list locations
354 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
355 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
357 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
360 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
362 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
363 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
364 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
366 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
367 was configured with --enable-apop.
369 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
370 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
371 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
373 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
374 new versions of flex.
376 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
377 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
378 doesn't guess wrongly.
380 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
382 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
383 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
385 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
386 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
388 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
389 files with numbers as names
391 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
393 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
395 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
397 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
399 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
400 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
402 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
404 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
407 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
408 test/report error writing to stdout
410 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
412 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
414 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
415 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
416 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
418 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
419 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
420 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
422 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
424 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
425 character set used by the current locale
427 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
428 message's filename overflows an int when converted
430 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
431 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
433 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
435 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
438 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
440 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
441 from Michael Richardson.
443 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
444 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
446 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
448 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
449 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
451 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
453 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
454 find sub-parts of the specified part
456 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
458 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
459 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
460 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
461 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
462 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
463 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
464 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
467 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
469 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
470 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
471 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
474 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
475 refiling with -src option.
477 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
479 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
481 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
483 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
484 mailpath being overwritten.
486 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
488 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
489 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
490 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
491 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
492 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
493 reinitializes the tmp file string.
495 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
496 if a format string was read from the profile.
498 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
499 path for the external hook.
501 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
503 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
504 another location for ndbm.
506 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
508 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
510 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
512 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
515 136976 - Handle binary content messages
516 143427 - mh-format.man typo
517 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
518 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
519 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
520 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
521 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
522 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
523 181867 - typo for nmh.man
525 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
527 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
528 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
529 contitional code which will result in cached data to
530 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
531 and parse on the first use.
532 * Remove some unused flag bits.
534 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
536 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
537 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
539 #578 - repl leaks umask
540 #1393 - sortm core dumps
541 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
542 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
543 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
545 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
546 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
548 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
550 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
551 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
553 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
555 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
556 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
557 to docs/README.about.
559 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
561 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
563 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
564 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
565 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
566 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
569 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
571 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
572 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
573 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
574 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
575 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
576 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
579 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
580 summary configure prints out.
582 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
583 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
584 subjectively more readable) format.
586 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
588 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
591 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
593 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
594 19xx when it's not necessary.
596 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
598 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
599 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
602 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
603 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
604 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
605 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
606 the man pages correctly.
608 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
610 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
612 * Finished manpages ali-prev
614 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
615 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
616 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
619 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
620 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
621 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
622 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
624 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
626 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
627 the formatting rules I've been using.
631 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
633 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
634 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
635 used in the manpages.
637 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
638 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
639 read in the contents of the file as the variable
642 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
643 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
644 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
645 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
646 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
647 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
648 bold flags and italicized parameters.
650 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
652 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
653 --with-locking option.
655 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
656 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
657 information was not being communicated to the
658 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
659 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
660 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
661 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
662 undefined symbols problems.
664 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
665 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
666 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
667 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
668 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
669 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
670 for a genuine krb4 installation.
672 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
674 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
675 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
677 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
679 * Made a new ./configure option called
680 "--with-locking" that allows the file
681 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
682 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
684 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
685 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
686 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
687 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
688 the user that these are the valid options, and
689 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
692 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
695 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
696 committed to supporting flex only, since
697 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
698 string, as well as other problems documented
699 below and on nmh-workers.
701 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
702 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
703 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
706 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
707 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
709 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
711 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
712 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
713 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
715 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
717 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
718 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
720 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
722 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
723 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
724 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
725 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
726 couldn't correctly identify them.
728 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
730 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
731 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
732 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
733 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
734 not depending on an external archive.
736 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
737 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
738 mts/generic is no longer built.
740 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
742 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
743 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
744 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
745 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
746 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
747 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
748 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
749 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
751 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
753 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
754 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
757 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
759 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
760 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
761 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
764 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
765 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
766 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
767 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
769 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
770 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
771 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
772 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
773 merged into the smtp code).
775 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
776 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
777 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
780 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
781 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
782 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
783 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
784 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
785 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
786 in the appropriate Makefile.in
788 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
790 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
791 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
792 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
793 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
794 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
795 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
796 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
797 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
798 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
799 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
800 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
802 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
804 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
805 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
806 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
807 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
808 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
809 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
810 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
811 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
812 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
814 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
816 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
817 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
820 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
822 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
823 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
825 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
827 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
828 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
829 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
830 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
832 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
834 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
835 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
836 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
837 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
838 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
840 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
841 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
843 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
845 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
847 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
848 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
849 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
850 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
852 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
853 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
854 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
855 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
857 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
858 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
859 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
860 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
862 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
863 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
864 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
866 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
868 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
869 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
870 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
871 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
872 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
873 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
876 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
877 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
879 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
880 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
882 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
884 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
886 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
888 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
889 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
890 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
891 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
893 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
895 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
896 be easily changed from "," to "#".
898 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
900 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
902 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
903 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
906 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
908 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
909 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
910 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
911 but not for the subsequent data stream.
913 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
915 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
916 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
917 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
918 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
919 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
921 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
923 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
924 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
926 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
927 cat, also define lorder as echo.
929 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
931 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
934 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
935 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
937 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
939 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
942 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
943 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
945 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
947 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
948 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
950 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
952 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
953 inc does not need to be setgid.
955 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
957 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
958 library, as found on Debian systems.
960 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
962 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
964 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
965 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
966 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
967 case-insensitivity flag.
969 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
971 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
972 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
974 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
977 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
978 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
979 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
980 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
981 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
982 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
983 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
984 getting moved aside).
986 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
987 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
989 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
991 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
992 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
993 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
994 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
995 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
996 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
997 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
998 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
999 the prototype, but never sets it.
1001 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1002 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1003 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1004 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1005 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1006 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1008 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1009 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1010 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1011 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1012 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1014 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1016 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1017 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1020 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1021 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1022 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1023 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1024 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1025 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1026 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1028 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1030 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1032 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1033 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1034 this works on other systems.
1036 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1038 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1039 checks for write failures.
1041 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1043 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1045 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1048 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1050 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1052 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1054 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1055 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1058 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1060 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1061 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1062 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1063 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1065 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1067 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1068 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1071 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1072 as well as Makefiles.
1074 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1076 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1077 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1078 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1079 should make maintainability easier.
1081 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1082 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1083 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1084 whatever you know works.
1086 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1088 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1089 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1090 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1092 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1093 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1094 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1095 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1097 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1098 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1099 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1101 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1102 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1103 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1104 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1105 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1107 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1108 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1109 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1110 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1111 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1112 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1113 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1114 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1115 from the BSD version.
1117 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1118 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1119 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1121 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1122 in ruserpass.c also.
1124 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1127 This happens on solaris:
1130 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1131 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1135 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1137 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1138 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1140 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1142 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1143 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1144 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1145 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1146 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1147 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1148 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1149 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1150 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1151 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1152 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1154 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1155 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1156 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1157 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1158 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1159 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1162 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1163 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1164 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1165 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1166 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1168 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1169 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1171 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1173 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1174 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1175 to stdin, such as exmh.
1177 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1178 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1179 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1182 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1184 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1185 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1186 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1187 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1188 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1189 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1190 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1192 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1194 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1195 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1197 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1199 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1200 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1202 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1204 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1207 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1208 along with any -host or -user option.
1210 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1212 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1214 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1215 process was fresh in my mind.
1217 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1219 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1220 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1222 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1224 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1226 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1229 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1230 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1231 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1232 part of the program's name.
1234 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1235 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1238 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1240 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1241 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1242 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1243 single-character format would cause programs using this
1244 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1245 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1246 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1247 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1250 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1252 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1253 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1254 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1255 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1256 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1257 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1259 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1260 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1261 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1262 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1263 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1264 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1265 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1266 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1268 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1269 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1270 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1271 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1272 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1273 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1274 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1275 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1276 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1277 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1279 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1281 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1282 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1284 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1285 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1287 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1292 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1294 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1295 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1296 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1297 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1299 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1300 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1301 problem in the routine.
1303 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1305 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1306 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1308 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1309 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1310 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1313 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1315 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1316 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1317 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1318 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1319 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1320 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1321 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1322 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1323 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1324 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1326 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1328 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1329 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1330 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1331 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1332 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1333 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1334 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1335 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1336 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1337 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1338 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1339 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1341 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1342 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1343 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1344 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1345 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1347 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1350 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1352 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1353 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1354 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1355 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1358 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1360 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1362 * Applied, after some finessing,
1363 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1365 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1367 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1369 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1370 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1371 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1372 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1374 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1376 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1377 forgetting to do so!).
1379 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1380 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1381 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1382 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1383 arguments to enable all three types.
1385 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1386 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1388 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1389 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1390 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1391 updated copy of mts.conf.
1393 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1395 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1396 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1397 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1399 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1401 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1403 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1404 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1405 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1407 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1408 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1409 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1411 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1412 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1413 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1415 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1417 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1419 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1421 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1423 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1424 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1426 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1427 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1428 certain suffix to run properly.
1430 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1431 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1432 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1434 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1435 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1436 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1437 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1438 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1439 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1440 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1442 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1444 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1445 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1446 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1447 until some year far in the future).
1449 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1451 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1453 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1454 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1456 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1457 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1460 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1462 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1463 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1464 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1465 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1466 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1467 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1469 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1471 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1473 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1474 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1475 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1477 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1478 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1479 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1480 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1481 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1482 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1485 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1486 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1487 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1488 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1489 of masquerading individually.
1491 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1492 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1493 GECOS field delimiters.
1495 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1497 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1498 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1499 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1500 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1501 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1502 and explaining the feature.
1504 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1506 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1507 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1510 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1511 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1512 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1514 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1515 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1516 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1517 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1519 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1520 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1521 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1524 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1526 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1527 code to be executed.
1529 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1531 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1533 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1534 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1535 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1536 quotes embedded in them.
1538 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1540 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1541 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1542 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1543 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1544 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1545 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1546 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1549 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1550 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1551 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1552 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1553 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1555 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1557 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1559 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1560 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1561 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1562 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1564 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1567 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1569 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1571 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1573 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1574 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1575 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1577 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1580 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1582 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1583 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1584 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1585 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1586 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1587 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1589 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1590 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1592 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1594 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1597 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1599 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1600 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1601 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1604 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1605 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1606 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1607 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1608 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1609 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1610 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1611 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1612 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1613 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1614 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1615 processing that post has).
1617 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1619 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1620 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1621 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1622 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1623 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1624 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1627 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1629 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1631 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1633 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1635 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1636 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1638 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1641 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1643 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1644 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1645 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1648 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1650 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1651 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1652 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1653 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1654 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1655 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1657 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1659 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1661 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1663 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1664 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1665 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1666 caught again. This works for now.
1668 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1670 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1672 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1673 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1675 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1677 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1678 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1680 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1682 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1684 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1686 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1687 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1689 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1691 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1692 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1693 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1694 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1695 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1698 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1700 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1701 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1702 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1704 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1705 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1708 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1710 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1711 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1712 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1714 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1716 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1717 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1719 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1721 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1724 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1725 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1727 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1728 macros, regardless of platform.
1730 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1731 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1733 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1734 with x-conversions=gzip.
1736 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1738 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1741 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1742 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1743 implicit definition of ioctl().
1745 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1746 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1747 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1748 want to mess with them.
1750 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1752 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1753 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1755 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1756 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1758 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1759 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1760 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1762 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1763 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1764 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1766 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1767 function initgroups.
1769 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1772 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1773 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1776 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1777 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1780 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1781 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1785 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1787 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1788 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1789 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1791 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1792 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1794 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1796 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1798 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1799 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1800 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1801 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1803 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1804 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1806 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1808 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1810 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1812 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1813 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1815 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1817 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1818 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1820 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1821 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1822 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1823 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1825 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1826 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1828 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1830 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1831 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1833 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1835 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1836 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1839 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1841 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1843 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1845 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1846 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1848 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1849 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1850 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1852 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1853 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1854 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1856 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1857 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1858 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1860 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1861 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1864 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1865 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1867 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1868 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1870 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1871 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1873 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1874 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1875 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1877 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1878 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1880 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1881 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1882 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1884 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1885 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1888 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1889 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1891 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1892 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1893 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1894 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1896 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1897 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1899 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1903 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1904 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1905 would not be changed.
1907 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1908 one from the Apache web server.
1910 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1911 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1913 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1914 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1915 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1917 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1919 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1921 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1922 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1925 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1926 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1927 removes a bad race condition.
1929 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1932 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1933 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1934 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1936 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1937 sequence information.
1939 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1940 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1942 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1945 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1948 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1950 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1951 interpret 034 as octal.
1953 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1955 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1956 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1958 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1959 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1961 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1962 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1964 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1965 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1967 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1968 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1970 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1971 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1972 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1974 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1975 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1976 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1978 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1980 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1982 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1983 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1986 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1988 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1989 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1991 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1992 header field information.
1994 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1995 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1997 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1998 values when parsing a content.
2000 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2001 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2003 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2004 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2006 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2007 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2009 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2010 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2012 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2014 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2016 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2018 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2020 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2021 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2024 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2025 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2027 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2028 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2029 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2030 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2031 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2032 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2035 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2037 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2038 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2039 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2041 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2042 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2044 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2046 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2047 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2048 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2049 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2051 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2052 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2055 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2056 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2057 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2058 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2061 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2063 * Released nmh-0.27.
2065 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2066 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2068 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2069 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2070 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2071 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2074 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2075 mhbuild returns an error.
2077 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2078 rename the draft file.
2080 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2081 use a global variable.
2083 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2084 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2086 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2087 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2089 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2090 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2091 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2093 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2094 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2096 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2097 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2100 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2101 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2104 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2105 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2107 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2108 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2109 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2111 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2112 to new function output_content_folder.
2114 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2115 new function output_content_file.
2117 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2118 to new function parse_format_string.
2120 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2121 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2122 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2123 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2125 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2126 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2127 message/external file from ftp.
2129 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2130 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2131 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2133 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2134 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2137 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2140 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2141 new file mhstoresbr.c
2143 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2146 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2147 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2149 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2150 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2152 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2153 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2154 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2156 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2158 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2160 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2161 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2164 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2165 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2167 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2170 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2172 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2174 * Released nmh-0.26.
2176 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2177 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2178 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2179 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2181 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2182 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2183 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2184 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2185 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2187 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2188 But it is not on by default.
2190 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2191 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2193 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2195 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2197 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2199 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2201 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2202 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2204 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2206 * Released nmh-0.25.
2208 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2209 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2210 uses the original name of the library.
2212 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2213 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2216 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2217 list_content and list_debug.
2219 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2221 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2222 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2224 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2226 * Released nmh-0.24.
2228 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2230 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2231 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2233 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2234 large sequence line.
2236 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2238 * Released nmh-0.23.
2240 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2242 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2243 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2244 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2245 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2247 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2248 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2251 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2253 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2255 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2257 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2258 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2260 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2261 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2263 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2264 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2266 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2267 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2269 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Released nmh-0.22.
2273 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2274 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2276 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2278 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2279 mh-profile(5) man page.
2281 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2282 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2284 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2286 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2288 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2289 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2291 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2293 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2294 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2295 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2297 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2298 source message on the standard input.
2300 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2302 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2303 rather than -rfc934mode.
2305 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2306 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2309 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2310 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2312 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2315 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2317 * Released nmh-0.21.
2319 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2320 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2322 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2325 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2326 to use for text contents.
2328 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2330 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2334 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2336 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2337 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2339 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2340 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2341 spaces between encoded word are.
2343 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2345 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2346 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2348 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2349 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2350 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2352 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2354 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2355 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2357 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2359 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2361 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2362 ISO-8859-X character set.
2364 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2367 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2368 permissions, not write permissions.
2370 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2371 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2373 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2376 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2380 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2381 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2383 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2384 message contains valid character set.
2386 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2387 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2389 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2390 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2392 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2393 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2394 between an encoded word and normal text.
2396 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2397 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2399 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2400 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2402 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2405 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2406 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2409 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2410 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2412 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2413 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2415 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2417 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Released nmh-0.20.
2421 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2423 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2425 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2426 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2427 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2429 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2430 and the To: line was missing.
2432 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2434 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2436 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2438 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2439 watch the POP transaction.
2441 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2442 first, and use it if available.
2444 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2445 first, and use it if available.
2447 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2449 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2451 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2452 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2453 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2456 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2457 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2458 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2460 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2461 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2464 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2466 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2467 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2469 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2471 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2472 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2474 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2475 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2476 message to which you are replying.
2478 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2479 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2480 making group replies.
2482 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2484 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2486 * Released nmh-0.19.
2488 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2489 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2491 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2492 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2493 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2494 to the end of the man page.
2496 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2497 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2498 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2499 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2500 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2501 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2503 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2506 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2507 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2508 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2510 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2511 the next available number above the message number you wish
2514 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2515 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2517 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2518 file sbr/seq_print.c
2520 * flist will now update the current folder.
2522 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2523 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2524 but now undocumented.
2526 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2529 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2530 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2532 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2534 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2535 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2537 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2539 * Released nmh-0.18.
2541 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2542 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2543 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2545 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2546 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2548 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2549 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2550 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2551 previous public/private status.
2553 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2556 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2559 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2560 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2561 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2563 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2564 take option to determine whether it should get current
2565 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2566 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2568 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2570 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2571 wait for stopped processes.
2573 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2574 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2576 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2578 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2580 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2581 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2583 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2584 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2586 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2587 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2588 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2589 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2591 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2594 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2597 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2599 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2600 the debugging output.
2602 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2603 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2605 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2607 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2609 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2610 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2612 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2614 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2615 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2616 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2617 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2618 in the given sequence.
2620 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2621 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2622 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2623 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2624 subdirectories of a given directory.
2626 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2627 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2628 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2630 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2631 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2633 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2635 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2638 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2639 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2640 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2642 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2643 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2644 are calculated at runtime.
2646 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2650 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2651 about checking for global mh.profile.
2653 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2654 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2655 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2656 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2657 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2658 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2660 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2661 adding message to folder itself.
2663 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2664 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2665 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2668 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2669 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2672 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2673 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2674 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2676 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2677 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2679 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2680 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2681 code to use it yet).
2683 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2685 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2687 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2688 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2690 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2691 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2693 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2695 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2698 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2700 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2702 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2704 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2706 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2707 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2709 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2711 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2713 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2715 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2717 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2719 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2720 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2722 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2723 configuration files.
2725 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2727 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2729 * Released nmh-0.17.
2731 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2733 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2734 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2736 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2739 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2740 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2742 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2743 number of refiled message.
2745 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2747 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2748 for return value of wait().
2750 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2752 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2754 * Released nmh-0.16.
2756 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2758 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2760 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2761 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2762 deal with binary messages, yet).
2764 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2766 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2768 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2769 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2770 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2771 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2772 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2773 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2775 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2776 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2778 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2779 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2781 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2782 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2785 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2787 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2789 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2790 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2793 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2796 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2798 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2799 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2800 which used unsigned chars by default.
2802 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2804 * Released nmh-0.15.
2806 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2807 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2809 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2811 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2813 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2816 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2817 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2818 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2820 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2821 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2823 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2825 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2826 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2828 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2829 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2830 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2831 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2833 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2834 and put in own subroutine.
2836 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2837 and put in own subroutine.

2840 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2841 refile.c to use new routine.

2845 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2847 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use

2851 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2852 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2854 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2857 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2872 selected messages to a sequence.
2874 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2877 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2880 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2882 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2884 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2923 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2924 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2925 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2926 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2929 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2930 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2932 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2935 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2937 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2939 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2968 will suppress the display of the message header.
2970 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2972 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2973 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2975 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2977 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2979 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2982 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2984 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2985 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2987 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2989 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2991 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2992 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2994 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2995 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2997 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2999 * Released nmh-0.10.

3009 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3011 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3012 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3014 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

3019 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3020 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3022 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3024 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3054 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3055 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3057 * Released nmh-0.08.
3059 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3060 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3061 locking database itself.

3065 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3067 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3068 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3071 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3072 rather than mmdf format.
3074 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3075 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3076 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3077 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3079 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3081 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3083 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3086 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3087 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3088 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3090 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3091 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3092 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3094 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3096 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3097 can still easily change this in config.h).
3099 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3100 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3101 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3103 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3119 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3120 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3122 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3123 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3126 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3127 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3140 * Released nmh-0.06.
3142 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3143 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3145 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3146 many such machines around anymore.
3148 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3149 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3151 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3152 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3154 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3156 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3157 pre-generated version if necessary.
3159 * Released nmh-0.05.
3161 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3162 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3163 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3164 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3166 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3167 be linked in one pass.
3169 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3171 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3172 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3174 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3176 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3178 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3180 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3181 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3182 become the current folder.
3184 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3186 * Released nmh-0.04.
3188 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3191 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3193 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3194 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3195 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3197 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3199 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3200 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3202 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3204 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3205 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3208 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3209 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3211 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3213 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3214 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3215 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3216 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3217 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3218 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3220 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3222 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3223 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3225 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3226 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3228 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3230 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3231 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3233 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3235 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3236 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3237 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3239 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * Released nmh-0.03.
3243 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3244 .mh_sequence file existed.
3246 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3247 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3249 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3250 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3253 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3255 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3258 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3260 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3261 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3262 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3264 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3266 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3267 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3268 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3270 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3272 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3273 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3275 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3277 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3280 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3281 directory from where the source code is located.
3283 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3285 * Released nmh-0.02.

3295 and sys_nerr directly.
3297 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3299 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3301 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3303 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3306 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3307 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3308 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3309 rather than in script.
3311 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3313 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3315 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3316 macro defined on Solaris.
3318 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3320 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3321 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3323 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3324 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3325 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3326 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3329 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3331 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3332 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3334 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3337 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3341 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3342 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3344 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3346 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3347 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3349 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3351 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3352 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3353 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3354 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3355 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3356 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3358 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3360 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3362 * Released nmh-0.01.
3364 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3365 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3366 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3369 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3371 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3374 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3376 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3377 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3379 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3381 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3382 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3383 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3384 script to find_program.
3386 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3388 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3389 speed up -recurse option.
3391 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3392 yet, but it compiles :-)
3394 * Changed default location for install to
3395 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3396 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3397 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
