3 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
4 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
5 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
7 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
10 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
11 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
12 doesn't guess wrongly.
14 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
16 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
17 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
19 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
20 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
22 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
23 files with numbers as names
25 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
27 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
29 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
31 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
33 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
34 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
36 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
38 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
41 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
42 test/report error writing to stdout
44 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
46 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
48 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
49 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
50 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
52 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
53 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
54 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
56 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
58 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
59 character set used by the current locale
61 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
62 message's filename overflows an int when converted
64 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
65 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
67 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
69 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
72 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
74 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
75 from Michael Richardson.
77 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
78 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
80 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
82 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
83 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
85 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
87 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
88 find sub-parts of the specified part
90 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
92 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
93 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
94 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
95 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
96 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
97 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
98 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
101 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
103 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
104 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
105 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
108 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
109 refiling with -src option.
111 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
113 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
115 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
117 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
118 mailpath being overwritten.
120 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
122 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
123 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
124 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
125 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
126 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
127 reinitializes the tmp file string.
129 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
130 if a format string was read from the profile.
132 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
133 path for the external hook.
135 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
137 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
138 another location for ndbm.
140 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
142 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
144 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
146 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
149 136976 - Handle binary content messages
150 143427 - mh-format.man typo
151 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
152 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
153 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
154 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
155 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
156 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
157 181867 - typo for nmh.man
159 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
161 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
162 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
163 contitional code which will result in cached data to
164 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
165 and parse on the first use.
166 * Remove some unused flag bits.
168 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
170 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
171 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
173 #578 - repl leaks umask
174 #1393 - sortm core dumps
175 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
176 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
177 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
179 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
180 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
182 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
184 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
185 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
187 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
189 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
190 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
191 to docs/README.about.
193 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
195 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
197 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
198 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
199 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
200 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
203 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
205 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
206 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
207 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
208 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
209 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
210 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
213 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
214 summary configure prints out.
216 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
217 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
218 subjectively more readable) format.
220 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
222 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
225 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
227 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
228 19xx when it's not necessary.
230 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
232 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
233 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
236 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
237 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
238 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
239 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
240 the man pages correctly.
242 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
244 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
246 * Finished manpages ali-prev
248 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
249 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
250 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
253 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
254 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
255 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
256 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
258 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
260 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
261 the formatting rules I've been using.
265 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
267 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
268 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
269 used in the manpages.
271 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
272 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
273 read in the contents of the file as the variable
276 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
277 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
278 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
279 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
280 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
281 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
282 bold flags and italicized parameters.
284 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
286 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
287 --with-locking option.
289 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
290 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
291 information was not being communicated to the
292 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
293 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
294 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
295 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
296 undefined symbols problems.
298 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
299 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
300 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
301 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
302 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
303 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
304 for a genuine krb4 installation.
306 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
308 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
309 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
311 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
313 * Made a new ./configure option called
314 "--with-locking" that allows the file
315 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
316 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
318 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
319 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
320 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
321 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
322 the user that these are the valid options, and
323 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
326 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
328 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
329 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
330 committed to supporting flex only, since
331 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
332 string, as well as other problems documented
333 below and on nmh-workers.
335 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
336 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
337 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
340 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
341 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
343 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
345 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
346 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
347 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
349 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
351 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
352 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
354 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
356 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
357 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
358 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
359 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
360 couldn't correctly identify them.
362 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
364 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
365 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
366 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
367 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
368 not depending on an external archive.
370 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
371 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
372 mts/generic is no longer built.
374 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
376 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
377 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
378 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
379 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
380 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
381 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
382 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
383 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
385 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
387 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
388 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
391 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
393 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
394 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
395 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
398 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
399 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
400 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
401 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
403 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
404 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
405 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
406 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
407 merged into the smtp code).
409 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
410 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
411 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
414 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
415 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
416 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
417 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
418 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
419 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
420 in the appropriate Makefile.in
422 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
424 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
425 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
426 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
427 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
428 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
429 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
430 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
431 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
432 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
433 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
434 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
436 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
438 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
439 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
440 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
441 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
442 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
443 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
444 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
445 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
446 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
448 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
450 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
451 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
454 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
456 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
457 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
459 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
461 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
462 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
463 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
464 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
466 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
468 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
469 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
470 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
471 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
472 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
474 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
475 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
477 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
479 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
481 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
482 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
483 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
484 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
486 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
487 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
488 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
489 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
491 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
492 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
493 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
494 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
496 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
497 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
498 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
500 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
502 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
503 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
504 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
505 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
506 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
507 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
510 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
511 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
513 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
514 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
516 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
518 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
520 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
522 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
523 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
524 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
525 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
527 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
529 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
530 be easily changed from "," to "#".
532 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
534 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
536 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
537 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
540 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
542 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
543 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
544 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
545 but not for the subsequent data stream.
547 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
549 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
550 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
551 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
552 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
553 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
555 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
557 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
558 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
560 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
561 cat, also define lorder as echo.
563 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
565 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
567 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
568 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
569 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
571 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
573 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
576 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
577 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
579 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
581 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
582 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
584 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
586 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
587 inc does not need to be setgid.
589 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
591 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
592 library, as found on Debian systems.
594 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
596 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
598 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
599 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
600 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
601 case-insensitivity flag.
603 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
605 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
606 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
608 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
610 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
611 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
612 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
613 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
614 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
615 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
616 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
617 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
618 getting moved aside).
620 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
621 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
623 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
625 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
626 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
627 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
628 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
629 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
630 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
631 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
632 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
633 the prototype, but never sets it.
635 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
636 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
637 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
638 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
639 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
640 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
642 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
643 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
644 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
645 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
646 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
648 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
650 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
651 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
654 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
655 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
656 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
657 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
658 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
659 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
660 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
662 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
664 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
666 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
667 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
668 this works on other systems.
670 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
672 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
673 checks for write failures.
675 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
677 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
679 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
682 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
684 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
686 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
688 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
689 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
692 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
694 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
695 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
696 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
697 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
699 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
701 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
702 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
705 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
706 as well as Makefiles.
708 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
710 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
711 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
712 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
713 should make maintainability easier.
715 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
716 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
717 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
718 whatever you know works.
720 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
722 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
723 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
724 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
726 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
727 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
728 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
729 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
731 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
732 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
733 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
735 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
736 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
737 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
738 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
739 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
741 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
742 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
743 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
744 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
745 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
746 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
747 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
748 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
749 from the BSD version.
751 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
752 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
753 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
755 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
758 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
761 This happens on solaris:
764 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
765 No manual entry for mts.conf.
769 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
771 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
772 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
774 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
777 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
778 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
779 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
780 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
781 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
782 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
783 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
784 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
785 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
786 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
788 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
789 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
790 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
791 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
792 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
793 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
796 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
797 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
798 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
799 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
800 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
802 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
803 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
805 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
807 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
808 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
809 to stdin, such as exmh.
811 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
812 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
813 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
816 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
818 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
819 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
820 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
821 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
822 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
823 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
824 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
826 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
828 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
829 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
831 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
833 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
834 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
836 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
838 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
841 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
842 along with any -host or -user option.
844 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
846 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
848 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
849 process was fresh in my mind.
851 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
854 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
856 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
858 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
860 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
863 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
864 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
865 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
866 part of the program's name.
868 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
869 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
872 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
874 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
875 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
876 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
877 single-character format would cause programs using this
878 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
879 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
880 when the format string was one character. This eventually
881 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
884 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
887 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
888 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
889 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
890 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
891 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
893 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
894 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
895 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
896 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
897 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
898 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
899 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
900 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
902 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
903 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
904 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
905 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
906 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
907 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
908 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
909 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
910 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
911 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
913 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
915 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
916 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
918 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
919 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
921 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
926 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
928 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
929 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
930 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
931 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
933 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
934 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
935 problem in the routine.
937 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
939 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
940 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
942 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
943 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
944 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
947 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
949 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
950 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
951 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
952 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
953 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
954 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
955 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
956 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
957 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
958 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
960 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
962 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
963 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
964 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
965 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
966 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
967 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
968 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
969 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
970 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
971 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
972 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
973 interesting than a duplication of the default.
975 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
976 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
977 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
978 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
979 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
981 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
984 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
986 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
987 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
988 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
989 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
992 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
994 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
996 * Applied, after some finessing,
997 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
999 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1001 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1003 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1004 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1005 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1006 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1008 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1010 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1011 forgetting to do so!).
1013 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1014 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1015 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1016 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1017 arguments to enable all three types.
1019 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1020 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1022 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1023 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1024 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1025 updated copy of mts.conf.
1027 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1029 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1030 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1031 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1033 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1035 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1037 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1038 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1039 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1041 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1042 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1043 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1045 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1046 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1047 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1049 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1051 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1053 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1055 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1057 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1058 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1060 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1061 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1062 certain suffix to run properly.
1064 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1065 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1066 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1068 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1069 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1070 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1071 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1072 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1073 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1074 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1076 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1078 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1079 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1080 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1081 until some year far in the future).
1083 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1085 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1087 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1088 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1090 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1091 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1094 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1096 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1097 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1098 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1099 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1100 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1101 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1103 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1105 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1107 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1108 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1109 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1111 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1112 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1113 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1114 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1115 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1116 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1119 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1120 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1121 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1122 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1123 of masquerading individually.
1125 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1126 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1127 GECOS field delimiters.
1129 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1131 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1132 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1133 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1134 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1135 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1136 and explaining the feature.
1138 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1140 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1141 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1144 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1145 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1146 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1148 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1149 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1150 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1151 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1153 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1154 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1155 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1158 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1160 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1161 code to be executed.
1163 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1165 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1167 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1168 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1169 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1170 quotes embedded in them.
1172 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1174 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1175 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1176 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1177 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1178 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1179 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1180 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1183 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1184 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1185 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1186 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1187 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1189 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1193 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1194 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1195 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1196 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1198 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1201 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1203 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1205 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1207 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1208 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1209 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1211 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1214 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1216 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1217 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1218 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1219 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1220 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1221 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1223 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1224 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1226 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1228 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1231 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1234 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1235 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1238 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1239 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1240 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1241 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1242 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1243 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1244 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1245 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1246 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1247 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1248 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1249 processing that post has).
1251 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1253 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1254 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1255 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1256 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1257 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1258 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1261 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1263 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1265 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1267 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1269 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1270 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1272 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1275 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1277 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1278 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1279 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1282 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1285 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1286 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1287 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1288 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1289 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1291 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1293 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1295 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1297 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1298 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1299 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1300 caught again. This works for now.
1302 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1304 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1306 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1307 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1309 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1311 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1312 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1314 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1316 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1318 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1320 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1321 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1323 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1325 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1326 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1327 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1328 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1329 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1332 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1334 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1335 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1336 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1338 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1339 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1342 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1344 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1345 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1346 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1348 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1350 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1351 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1353 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1355 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1358 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1359 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1361 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1362 macros, regardless of platform.
1364 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1365 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1367 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1368 with x-conversions=gzip.
1370 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1372 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1375 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1376 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1377 implicit definition of ioctl().
1379 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1380 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1381 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1382 want to mess with them.
1384 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1386 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1387 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1389 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1390 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1392 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1393 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1394 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1396 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1397 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1398 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1400 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1401 function initgroups.
1403 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1406 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1407 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1410 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1411 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1414 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1415 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1419 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1421 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1422 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1423 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1425 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1426 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1428 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1430 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1432 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1433 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1434 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1435 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1437 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1438 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1440 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1442 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1444 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1446 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1447 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1449 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1451 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1452 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1454 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1455 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1456 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1457 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1459 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1460 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1462 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1464 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1465 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1467 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1469 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1470 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1473 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1475 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1477 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1479 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1480 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1482 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1483 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1484 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1486 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1487 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1488 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1490 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1491 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1492 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1494 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1495 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1498 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1499 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1501 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1502 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1504 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1505 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1507 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1508 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1509 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1511 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1512 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1514 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1515 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1516 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1518 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1519 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1522 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1523 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1525 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1526 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1527 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1528 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1530 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1531 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1533 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1537 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1538 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1539 would not be changed.
1541 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1542 one from the Apache web server.
1544 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1545 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1547 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1548 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1549 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1551 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1553 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1555 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1556 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1559 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1560 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1561 removes a bad race condition.
1563 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1566 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1567 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1568 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1570 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1571 sequence information.
1573 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1574 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1576 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1579 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1582 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1584 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1585 interpret 034 as octal.
1587 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1589 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1590 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1592 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1593 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1595 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1596 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1598 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1599 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1601 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1602 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1604 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1605 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1606 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1608 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1609 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1610 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1612 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1614 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1616 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1617 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1620 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1622 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1623 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1625 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1626 header field information.
1628 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1629 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1631 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1632 values when parsing a content.
1634 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1635 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1637 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1638 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1640 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1641 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1643 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1644 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1646 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1648 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1650 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1652 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1654 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1655 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1658 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1659 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1661 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1662 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1663 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1664 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1665 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1666 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1669 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1671 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1672 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1673 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1675 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1676 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1678 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1680 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1681 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1682 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1683 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1685 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1686 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1689 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1690 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1691 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1692 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1695 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1697 * Released nmh-0.27.
1699 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1700 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1702 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1703 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1704 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1705 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1708 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1709 mhbuild returns an error.
1711 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1712 rename the draft file.
1714 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1715 use a global variable.
1717 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1718 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1720 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1721 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1723 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1724 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1725 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1727 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1728 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1730 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1731 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1734 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1735 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1738 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1739 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1741 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1742 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1743 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1745 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1746 to new function output_content_folder.
1748 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1749 new function output_content_file.
1751 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1752 to new function parse_format_string.
1754 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1755 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1756 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1757 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1759 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1760 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1761 message/external file from ftp.
1763 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1764 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1765 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1767 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1768 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1771 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1774 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1775 new file mhstoresbr.c
1777 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1780 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1781 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1783 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1784 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1786 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1787 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1788 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1790 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1792 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1794 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1795 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1798 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1799 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1801 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1804 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1806 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1808 * Released nmh-0.26.
1810 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1811 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1812 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1813 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1815 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1816 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1817 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1818 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1819 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1821 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1822 But it is not on by default.
1824 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1825 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1827 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1829 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1831 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1833 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1835 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1836 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1838 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1840 * Released nmh-0.25.
1842 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1843 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1844 uses the original name of the library.
1846 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1847 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1850 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1851 list_content and list_debug.
1853 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1855 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1856 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1858 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1860 * Released nmh-0.24.
1862 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1864 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1865 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1867 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1868 large sequence line.
1870 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1872 * Released nmh-0.23.
1874 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1876 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1877 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1878 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1879 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1881 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1882 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1885 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1887 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1889 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1891 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1892 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1894 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1895 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1897 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1898 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1900 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1901 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1903 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1905 * Released nmh-0.22.
1907 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1908 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1910 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1912 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1913 mh-profile(5) man page.
1915 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1916 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1918 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1920 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1922 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1923 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1925 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1927 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1928 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1929 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1931 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1932 source message on the standard input.
1934 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1936 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1937 rather than -rfc934mode.
1939 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1940 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1943 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1944 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1946 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1949 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1951 * Released nmh-0.21.
1953 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1954 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1956 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1959 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1960 to use for text contents.
1962 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1964 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1966 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1968 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1970 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1971 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1973 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1974 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1975 spaces between encoded word are.
1977 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1979 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1980 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1982 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1983 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1984 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1986 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1988 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1989 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1991 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1993 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1995 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1996 ISO-8859-X character set.
1998 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2001 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2002 permissions, not write permissions.
2004 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2005 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2007 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2010 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2012 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2014 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2015 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2017 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2018 message contains valid character set.
2020 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2021 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2023 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2024 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2026 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2027 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2028 between an encoded word and normal text.
2030 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2031 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2033 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2034 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2036 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2039 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2040 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2043 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2044 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2046 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2047 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2049 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2051 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2053 * Released nmh-0.20.
2055 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2057 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2059 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2060 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2061 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2063 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2064 and the To: line was missing.
2066 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2068 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2070 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2072 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2073 watch the POP transaction.
2075 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2076 first, and use it if available.
2078 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2079 first, and use it if available.
2081 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2083 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2085 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2086 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2087 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2090 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2091 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2092 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2094 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2095 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2098 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2100 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2101 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2103 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2105 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2106 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2108 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2109 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2110 message to which you are replying.
2112 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2113 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2114 making group replies.
2116 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2118 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2120 * Released nmh-0.19.
2122 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2123 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2125 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2126 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2127 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2128 to the end of the man page.
2130 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2131 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2132 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2133 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2134 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2135 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2137 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2140 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2141 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2142 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2144 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2145 the next available number above the message number you wish
2148 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2149 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2151 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2152 file sbr/seq_print.c
2154 * flist will now update the current folder.
2156 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2157 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2158 but now undocumented.
2160 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2163 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2164 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2166 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2168 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2169 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2171 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2173 * Released nmh-0.18.
2175 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2176 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2177 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2179 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2180 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2182 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2183 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2184 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2185 previous public/private status.
2187 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2190 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2193 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2194 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2195 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2197 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2198 take option to determine whether it should get current
2199 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2200 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2202 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2204 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2205 wait for stopped processes.
2207 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2208 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2210 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2214 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2215 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2217 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2218 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2220 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2221 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2222 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2223 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2225 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2228 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2231 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2233 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2234 the debugging output.
2236 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2237 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2239 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2241 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2243 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2244 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2246 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2248 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2249 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2250 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2251 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2252 in the given sequence.
2254 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2255 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2256 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2257 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2258 subdirectories of a given directory.
2260 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2261 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2262 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2264 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2265 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2267 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2269 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2272 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2273 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2274 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2276 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2277 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2278 are calculated at runtime.

2290 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2291 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2292 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2294 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2295 adding message to folder itself.
2297 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2298 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2299 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2302 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2303 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2306 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2307 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2308 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2310 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2311 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2313 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2314 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2315 code to use it yet).

2365 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2367 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2368 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".

2373 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2374 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2376 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2377 number of refiled message.
2379 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2381 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2382 for return value of wait().

2392 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2394 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2395 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2396 deal with binary messages, yet).
2398 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2400 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2402 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2403 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2404 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2405 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2406 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2407 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2409 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2410 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2412 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2413 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2424 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2427 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2430 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2432 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2438 * Released nmh-0.15.
2440 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2445 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2447 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2450 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2451 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2452 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2454 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2455 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2457 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2459 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2460 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2462 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2463 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2464 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2465 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2467 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2468 and put in own subroutine.
2470 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2471 and put in own subroutine.

2474 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2475 refile.c to use new routine.
2477 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2479 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2481 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2484 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2485 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2486 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2488 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2491 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2503 all selected messages from a sequence.
2505 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2506 selected messages to a sequence.
2508 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2511 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2513 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2514 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2516 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2555 * Released nmh-0.13.
2557 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2558 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2559 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2560 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2563 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2564 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2566 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2568 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2569 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2571 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2573 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2598 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2599 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2601 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2602 will suppress the display of the message header.
2604 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2606 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2607 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2609 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2611 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2613 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2615 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2616 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2618 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2619 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2621 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2623 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2625 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2626 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2628 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2629 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2631 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2633 * Released nmh-0.10.

2643 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2645 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2646 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2648 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2649 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2651 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2654 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2656 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2658 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2679 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2683 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2684 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2686 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2689 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2691 * Released nmh-0.08.
2693 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2694 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2695 locking database itself.

2699 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2701 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2702 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2705 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2706 rather than mmdf format.
2708 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2709 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2710 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2711 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2713 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2715 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2720 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2721 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2722 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2724 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2725 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2726 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2728 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2731 can still easily change this in config.h).
2733 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2734 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2735 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2737 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2751 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2753 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2754 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2756 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2757 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2760 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2761 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2763 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2764 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2766 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2768 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2770 * Added configure check for tzset.

2774 * Released nmh-0.06.
2776 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2777 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2779 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2780 many such machines around anymore.
2782 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2783 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2785 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2786 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2788 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2790 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2791 pre-generated version if necessary.
2793 * Released nmh-0.05.
2795 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2796 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2797 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2798 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2800 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2801 be linked in one pass.
2803 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2805 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2806 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2808 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2810 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2812 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2814 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2815 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2816 become the current folder.
2818 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2820 * Released nmh-0.04.
2822 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2825 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2827 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2828 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2829 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2831 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2833 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2834 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2836 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2839 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2842 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2843 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2845 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2847 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2848 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2849 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2850 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2851 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2852 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2854 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2856 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2857 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2859 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2860 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2862 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2864 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2865 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2867 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2869 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2870 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2871 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2873 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2875 * Released nmh-0.03.
2877 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2878 .mh_sequence file existed.
2880 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2881 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2883 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2884 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2887 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2889 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2892 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2895 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2896 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2898 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2900 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2901 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2902 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2904 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2906 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2907 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2909 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2911 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2913 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2914 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2915 directory from where the source code is located.
2917 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2919 * Released nmh-0.02.
2921 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2926 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2928 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2929 and sys_nerr directly.
2931 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2933 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2935 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2937 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2939 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2940 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2941 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2942 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2943 rather than in script.
2945 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2949 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2950 macro defined on Solaris.
2952 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2955 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2957 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2958 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2959 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2960 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2963 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2965 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2966 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2968 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2971 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2973 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2975 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2976 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2978 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2980 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2981 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2983 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2985 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2986 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2987 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2988 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2989 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2990 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2992 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2996 * Released nmh-0.01.
2998 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2999 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3000 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3003 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3005 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3008 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3010 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3011 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3013 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3015 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3016 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3017 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3018 script to find_program.
3020 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3022 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3023 speed up -recurse option.
3025 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3026 yet, but it compiles :-)
3028 * Changed default location for install to
3029 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3030 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3031 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3034 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3035 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3036 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
