1 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
4 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
6 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
7 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
8 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
9 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
12 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
13 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
14 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
16 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
18 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
19 problems on some systems
21 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
22 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
24 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
26 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
27 sendmail isn't found during build.
29 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
31 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
33 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
35 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
36 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
38 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
39 references to the web page and mailing list locations
41 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
42 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
44 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
47 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
49 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
50 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
51 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
53 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
54 was configured with --enable-apop.
56 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
57 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
58 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
60 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
63 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
64 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
65 doesn't guess wrongly.
67 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
69 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
70 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
72 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
73 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
75 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
76 files with numbers as names
78 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
80 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
82 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
84 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
86 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
87 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
89 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
91 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
94 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
95 test/report error writing to stdout
97 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
99 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
101 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
102 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
103 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
105 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
106 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
107 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
109 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
111 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
112 character set used by the current locale
114 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
115 message's filename overflows an int when converted
117 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
118 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
120 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
122 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
125 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
127 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
128 from Michael Richardson.
130 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
131 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
133 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
135 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
136 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
138 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
140 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
141 find sub-parts of the specified part
143 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
145 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
146 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
147 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
148 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
149 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
150 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
151 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
154 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
156 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
157 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
158 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
161 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
162 refiling with -src option.
164 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
166 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
168 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
170 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
171 mailpath being overwritten.
173 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
175 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
176 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
177 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
178 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
179 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
180 reinitializes the tmp file string.
182 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
183 if a format string was read from the profile.
185 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
186 path for the external hook.
188 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
190 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
191 another location for ndbm.
193 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
195 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
197 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
199 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
202 136976 - Handle binary content messages
203 143427 - mh-format.man typo
204 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
205 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
206 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
207 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
208 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
209 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
210 181867 - typo for nmh.man
212 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
214 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
215 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
216 contitional code which will result in cached data to
217 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
218 and parse on the first use.
219 * Remove some unused flag bits.
221 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
223 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
224 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
226 #578 - repl leaks umask
227 #1393 - sortm core dumps
228 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
229 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
230 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
232 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
233 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
235 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
237 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
238 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
240 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
242 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
243 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
244 to docs/README.about.
246 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
248 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
250 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
251 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
252 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
253 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
256 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
258 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
259 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
260 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
261 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
262 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
263 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
266 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
267 summary configure prints out.
269 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
270 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
271 subjectively more readable) format.
273 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
275 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
278 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
280 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
281 19xx when it's not necessary.
283 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
285 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
286 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
289 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
290 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
291 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
292 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
293 the man pages correctly.
295 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
297 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
299 * Finished manpages ali-prev
301 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
302 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
303 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
306 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
307 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
308 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
309 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
311 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
313 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
314 the formatting rules I've been using.
318 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
320 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
321 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
322 used in the manpages.
324 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
325 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
326 read in the contents of the file as the variable
329 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
330 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
331 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
332 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
333 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
334 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
335 bold flags and italicized parameters.
337 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
339 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
340 --with-locking option.
342 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
343 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
344 information was not being communicated to the
345 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
346 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
347 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
348 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
349 undefined symbols problems.
351 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
352 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
353 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
354 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
355 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
356 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
357 for a genuine krb4 installation.
359 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
361 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
362 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
364 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
366 * Made a new ./configure option called
367 "--with-locking" that allows the file
368 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
369 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
371 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
372 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
373 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
374 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
375 the user that these are the valid options, and
376 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
379 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
381 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
382 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
383 committed to supporting flex only, since
384 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
385 string, as well as other problems documented
386 below and on nmh-workers.
388 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
389 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
390 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
393 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
394 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
396 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
398 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
399 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
400 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
402 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
404 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
405 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
407 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
409 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
410 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
411 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
412 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
413 couldn't correctly identify them.
415 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
417 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
418 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
419 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
420 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
421 not depending on an external archive.
423 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
424 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
425 mts/generic is no longer built.
427 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
429 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
430 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
431 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
432 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
433 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
434 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
435 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
436 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
438 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
440 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
441 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
444 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
446 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
447 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
448 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
451 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
452 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
453 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
454 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
456 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
457 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
458 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
459 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
460 merged into the smtp code).
462 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
463 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
464 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
467 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
468 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
469 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
470 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
471 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
472 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
473 in the appropriate Makefile.in
475 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
477 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
478 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
479 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
480 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
481 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
482 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
483 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
484 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
485 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
486 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
487 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
489 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
491 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
492 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
493 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
494 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
495 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
496 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
497 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
498 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
499 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
501 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
503 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
504 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
507 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
509 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
510 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
512 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
514 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
515 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
516 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
517 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
519 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
521 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
522 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
523 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
524 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
525 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
527 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
528 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
530 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
532 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
534 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
535 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
536 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
537 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
539 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
540 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
541 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
542 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
544 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
545 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
546 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
547 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
549 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
550 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
551 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
553 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
555 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
556 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
557 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
558 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
559 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
560 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
563 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
564 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
566 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
567 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
569 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
571 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
573 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
575 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
576 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
577 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
578 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
580 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
582 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
583 be easily changed from "," to "#".
585 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
587 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
589 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
590 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
593 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
595 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
596 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
597 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
598 but not for the subsequent data stream.
600 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
602 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
603 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
604 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
605 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
606 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
608 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
610 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
611 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
613 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
614 cat, also define lorder as echo.
616 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
618 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
620 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
621 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
622 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
624 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
626 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
629 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
630 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
632 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
634 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
635 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
637 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
639 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
640 inc does not need to be setgid.
642 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
644 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
645 library, as found on Debian systems.
647 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
649 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
651 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
652 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
653 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
654 case-insensitivity flag.
656 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
658 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
659 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
661 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
663 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
664 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
665 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
666 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
667 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
668 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
669 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
670 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
671 getting moved aside).
673 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
674 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
676 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
678 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
679 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
680 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
681 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
682 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
683 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
684 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
685 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
686 the prototype, but never sets it.
688 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
689 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
690 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
691 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
692 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
693 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
695 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
696 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
697 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
698 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
699 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
701 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
703 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
704 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
707 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
708 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
709 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
710 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
711 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
712 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
713 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
715 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
717 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
719 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
720 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
721 this works on other systems.
723 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
725 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
726 checks for write failures.
728 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
730 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
732 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
735 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
737 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
739 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
741 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
742 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
745 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
747 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
748 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
749 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
750 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
752 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
754 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
755 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
758 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
759 as well as Makefiles.
761 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
763 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
764 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
765 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
766 should make maintainability easier.
768 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
769 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
770 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
771 whatever you know works.
773 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
776 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
777 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
779 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
780 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
781 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
782 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
784 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
785 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
786 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
788 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
789 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
790 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
791 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
792 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
794 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
795 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
796 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
797 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
798 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
799 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
800 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
801 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
802 from the BSD version.
804 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
805 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
806 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
808 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
811 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
814 This happens on solaris:
817 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
818 No manual entry for mts.conf.
822 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
824 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
825 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
827 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
829 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
830 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
831 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
832 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
833 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
834 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
835 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
836 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
837 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
838 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
839 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
841 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
842 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
843 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
844 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
845 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
846 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
849 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
850 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
851 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
852 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
853 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
855 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
856 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
858 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
860 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
861 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
862 to stdin, such as exmh.
864 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
865 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
866 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
869 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
872 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
873 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
874 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
875 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
876 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
877 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
879 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
881 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
882 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
884 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
886 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
887 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
889 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
891 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
894 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
895 along with any -host or -user option.
897 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
899 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
901 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
902 process was fresh in my mind.
904 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
906 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
907 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
909 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
911 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
913 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
916 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
917 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
918 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
919 part of the program's name.
921 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
922 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
925 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
927 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
928 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
929 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
930 single-character format would cause programs using this
931 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
932 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
933 when the format string was one character. This eventually
934 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
937 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
939 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
940 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
941 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
942 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
943 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
944 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
946 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
947 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
948 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
949 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
950 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
951 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
952 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
953 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
955 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
956 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
957 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
958 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
959 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
960 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
961 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
962 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
963 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
964 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
966 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
968 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
969 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
971 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
972 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
974 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
979 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
981 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
982 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
983 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
984 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
986 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
987 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
988 problem in the routine.
990 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
992 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
993 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
995 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
996 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
997 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1000 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1002 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1003 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1004 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1005 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1006 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1007 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1008 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1009 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1010 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1011 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1013 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1015 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1016 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1017 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1018 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1019 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1020 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1021 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1022 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1023 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1024 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1025 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1026 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1028 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1029 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1030 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1031 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1032 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1034 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1037 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1039 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1040 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1041 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1042 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1045 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1047 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1049 * Applied, after some finessing,
1050 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1052 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1054 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1056 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1057 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1058 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1059 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1061 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1063 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1064 forgetting to do so!).
1066 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1067 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1068 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1069 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1070 arguments to enable all three types.
1072 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1073 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1075 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1076 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1077 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1078 updated copy of mts.conf.
1080 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1082 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1083 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1084 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1086 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1088 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1090 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1091 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1092 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1094 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1095 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1096 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1098 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1099 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1100 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1102 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1104 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1106 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1108 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1110 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1111 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1113 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1114 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1115 certain suffix to run properly.
1117 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1118 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1119 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1121 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1122 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1123 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1124 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1125 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1126 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1127 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1129 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1131 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1132 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1133 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1134 until some year far in the future).
1136 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1138 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1140 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1141 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1143 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1144 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1147 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1149 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1150 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1151 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1152 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1153 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1154 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1156 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1158 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1160 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1161 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1162 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1164 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1165 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1166 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1167 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1168 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1169 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1172 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1173 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1174 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1175 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1176 of masquerading individually.
1178 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1179 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1180 GECOS field delimiters.
1182 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1184 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1185 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1186 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1187 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1188 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1189 and explaining the feature.
1191 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1193 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1194 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1197 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1198 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1199 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1201 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1202 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1203 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1204 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1206 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1207 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1208 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1211 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1213 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1214 code to be executed.
1216 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1218 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1220 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1221 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1222 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1223 quotes embedded in them.
1225 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1227 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1228 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1229 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1230 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1231 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1232 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1233 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1236 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1237 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1238 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1239 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1240 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1242 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1246 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1247 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1248 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1249 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1251 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1254 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1256 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1258 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1261 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1262 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1264 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1267 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1269 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1270 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1271 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1272 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1273 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1274 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1276 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1277 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1279 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1281 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1284 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1286 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1287 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1288 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1291 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1292 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1293 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1294 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1295 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1296 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1297 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1298 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1299 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1300 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1301 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1302 processing that post has).
1304 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1306 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1307 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1308 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1309 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1310 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1311 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1314 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1316 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1318 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1320 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1322 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1323 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1325 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1328 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1330 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1331 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1332 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1335 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1337 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1338 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1339 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1340 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1341 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1342 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1344 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1346 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1348 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1350 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1351 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1352 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1353 caught again. This works for now.
1355 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1357 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1359 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1360 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1362 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1364 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1365 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1367 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1369 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1371 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1373 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1374 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1376 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1378 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1379 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1380 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1381 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1382 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1385 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1387 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1388 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1389 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1391 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1392 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1395 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1397 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1398 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1399 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1401 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1403 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1404 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1406 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1408 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1411 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1412 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1414 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1415 macros, regardless of platform.
1417 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1418 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1420 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1421 with x-conversions=gzip.
1423 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1425 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1428 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1429 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1430 implicit definition of ioctl().
1432 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1433 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1434 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1435 want to mess with them.
1437 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1439 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1440 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1442 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1443 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1445 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1446 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1447 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1449 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1450 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1451 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1453 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1454 function initgroups.
1456 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1459 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1460 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1463 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1464 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1467 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1468 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1472 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1474 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1475 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1476 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1478 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1479 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1481 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1483 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1485 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1486 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1487 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1488 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1490 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1491 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1493 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1495 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1497 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1499 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1500 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1502 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1504 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1505 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1507 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1508 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1509 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1510 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1512 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1513 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1515 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1517 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1518 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1520 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1522 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1523 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1526 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1528 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1530 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1532 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1533 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1535 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1536 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1537 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1539 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1540 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1541 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1543 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1544 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1545 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1547 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1548 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1551 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1552 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1554 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1555 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1557 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1558 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1560 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1561 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1562 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1564 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1565 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1567 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1568 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1569 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1571 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1572 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1575 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1576 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1578 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1579 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1580 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1581 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1583 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1584 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1586 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1590 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1591 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1592 would not be changed.
1594 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1595 one from the Apache web server.
1597 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1598 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1600 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1601 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1602 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1604 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1606 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1608 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1609 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1612 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1613 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1614 removes a bad race condition.
1616 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1619 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1620 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1621 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1623 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1624 sequence information.
1626 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1627 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1629 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1632 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1635 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1637 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1638 interpret 034 as octal.
1640 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1642 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1643 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1645 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1646 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1648 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1649 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1651 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1652 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1654 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1655 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1657 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1658 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1659 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1661 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1662 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1663 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1665 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1667 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1669 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1670 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1673 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1675 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1676 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1678 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1679 header field information.
1681 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1682 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1684 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1685 values when parsing a content.
1687 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1688 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1690 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1691 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1693 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1694 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1696 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1697 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1699 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1701 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1703 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1705 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1707 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1708 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1711 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1712 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1714 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1715 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1716 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1717 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1718 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1719 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1722 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1724 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1725 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1726 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1728 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1729 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1731 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1733 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1734 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1735 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1736 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1738 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1739 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1742 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1743 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1744 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1745 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1748 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1750 * Released nmh-0.27.
1752 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1753 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1755 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1756 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1757 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1758 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1761 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1762 mhbuild returns an error.
1764 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1765 rename the draft file.
1767 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1768 use a global variable.
1770 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1771 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1773 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1774 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1776 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1777 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1778 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1780 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1781 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1783 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1784 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1787 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1788 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1791 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1792 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1794 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1795 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1796 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1798 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1799 to new function output_content_folder.
1801 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1802 new function output_content_file.
1804 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1805 to new function parse_format_string.
1807 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1808 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1809 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1810 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1812 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1813 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1814 message/external file from ftp.
1816 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1817 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1818 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1820 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1821 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1824 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1827 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1828 new file mhstoresbr.c
1830 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1833 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1834 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1836 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1837 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1839 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1840 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1841 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1843 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1845 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1847 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1848 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1851 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1852 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1854 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1857 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1859 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1861 * Released nmh-0.26.
1863 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1864 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1865 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1866 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1868 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1869 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1870 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1871 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1872 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1874 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1875 But it is not on by default.
1877 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1878 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1880 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1882 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1884 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1886 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1888 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1889 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1891 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1893 * Released nmh-0.25.
1895 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1896 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1897 uses the original name of the library.
1899 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1900 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1903 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1904 list_content and list_debug.
1906 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1908 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1909 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1911 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1913 * Released nmh-0.24.
1915 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1917 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1918 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1920 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1921 large sequence line.
1923 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1925 * Released nmh-0.23.
1927 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1929 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1930 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1931 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1932 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1934 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1935 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1938 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1940 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1942 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1944 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1945 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1947 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1948 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1950 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1951 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1953 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1954 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1956 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1958 * Released nmh-0.22.
1960 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1961 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1963 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1965 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1966 mh-profile(5) man page.
1968 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1969 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1971 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1973 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1975 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1976 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1978 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1980 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1981 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1982 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1984 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1985 source message on the standard input.
1987 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1989 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1990 rather than -rfc934mode.
1992 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1993 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1996 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1997 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1999 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2002 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2004 * Released nmh-0.21.
2006 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2007 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2009 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2012 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2013 to use for text contents.
2015 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2017 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2019 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2021 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2023 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2024 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2026 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2027 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2028 spaces between encoded word are.
2030 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2032 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2033 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2035 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2036 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2037 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2039 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2041 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2042 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2044 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2046 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2048 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2049 ISO-8859-X character set.
2051 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2054 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2055 permissions, not write permissions.
2057 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2058 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2060 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2063 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2065 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2067 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2068 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2070 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2071 message contains valid character set.
2073 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2074 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2076 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2077 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2079 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2080 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2081 between an encoded word and normal text.
2083 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2084 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2086 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2087 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2089 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2092 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2093 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2096 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2097 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2099 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2100 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2102 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2104 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2106 * Released nmh-0.20.
2108 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2110 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2112 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2113 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2114 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2116 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2117 and the To: line was missing.
2119 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2121 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2123 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2125 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2126 watch the POP transaction.
2128 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2129 first, and use it if available.
2131 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2132 first, and use it if available.
2134 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2136 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2138 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2139 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2140 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2143 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2144 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2145 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2147 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2148 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2151 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2153 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2154 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2156 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2158 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2159 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2161 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2162 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2163 message to which you are replying.
2165 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2166 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2167 making group replies.
2169 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2171 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2173 * Released nmh-0.19.
2175 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2176 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2178 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2179 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2180 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2181 to the end of the man page.
2183 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2184 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2185 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2186 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2187 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2188 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2190 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2193 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2194 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2195 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2197 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2198 the next available number above the message number you wish
2201 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2202 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2204 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2205 file sbr/seq_print.c
2207 * flist will now update the current folder.
2209 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2210 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2211 but now undocumented.
2213 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2216 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2217 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2219 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2221 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2222 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2224 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2226 * Released nmh-0.18.
2228 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2229 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2230 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2232 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2233 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2235 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2236 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2237 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2238 previous public/private status.
2240 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2243 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2246 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2247 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2248 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2250 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2251 take option to determine whether it should get current
2252 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2253 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2255 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2257 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2258 wait for stopped processes.
2260 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2261 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2263 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2267 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2268 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2270 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2271 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2273 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2274 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2275 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2276 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2278 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2281 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2284 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2286 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2287 the debugging output.
2289 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2290 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2292 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2294 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2296 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2297 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2299 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2301 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2302 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2303 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2304 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2305 in the given sequence.
2307 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2308 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2309 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2310 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2311 subdirectories of a given directory.
2313 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2314 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2315 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2317 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2318 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2320 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2322 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2325 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2326 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2327 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2329 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2330 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2331 are calculated at runtime.
2333 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2341 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2342 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2343 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2344 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2345 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2347 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2348 adding message to folder itself.
2350 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2351 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2352 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2355 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2356 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2359 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2360 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2361 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2363 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2364 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2366 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2367 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2368 code to use it yet).
2370 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2372 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2374 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2375 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2377 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2378 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2380 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2382 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2385 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2400 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2402 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2404 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

2407 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2409 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2410 configuration files.
2412 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2418 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2420 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2421 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2423 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2426 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2427 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2429 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2430 number of refiled message.
2432 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2434 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2435 for return value of wait().
2437 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2439 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2441 * Released nmh-0.16.

2445 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2447 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2448 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2449 deal with binary messages, yet).
2451 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2453 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2455 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2456 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2457 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2458 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2459 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2460 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2462 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2463 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2465 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2466 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2468 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2469 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2472 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2474 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2476 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2477 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2480 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2483 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2485 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2486 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2487 which used unsigned chars by default.
2489 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2491 * Released nmh-0.15.
2493 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2498 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2500 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2503 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2504 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2505 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2507 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2508 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2510 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2512 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2513 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2515 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2516 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2517 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2518 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2520 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2521 and put in own subroutine.
2523 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2524 and put in own subroutine.
2526 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2527 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2528 refile.c to use new routine.
2530 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2534 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2537 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2538 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2539 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2541 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2544 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2545 adding message to sequence.
2547 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2548 corresponding file in sbr.
2550 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2553 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2555 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2556 all selected messages from a sequence.
2558 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2559 selected messages to a sequence.
2561 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2564 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2566 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2567 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2569 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2571 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2608 * Released nmh-0.13.
2610 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2611 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2612 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2613 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2616 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2617 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2619 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2621 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2622 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2624 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2643 mp->attrstats with macros.
2645 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2648 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2651 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2652 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2654 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2655 will suppress the display of the message header.
2657 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2659 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2660 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2662 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2664 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2666 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2668 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2669 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2671 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2672 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.

2676 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2678 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2679 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2681 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2682 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2684 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2686 * Released nmh-0.10.

2693 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2695 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2696 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2698 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2699 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2701 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2704 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2707 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2709 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2734 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2736 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2737 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2739 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2741 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2742 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2744 * Released nmh-0.08.
2746 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2747 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2748 locking database itself.

2752 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2754 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2755 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2758 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2759 rather than mmdf format.
2761 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2762 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2763 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2764 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2766 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2768 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2770 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2773 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2774 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2775 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2777 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2778 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2779 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2781 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2784 can still easily change this in config.h).
2786 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2787 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2788 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2790 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2792 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2804 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2806 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2807 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2809 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2810 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2813 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2814 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2816 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2817 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2819 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2821 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2823 * Added configure check for tzset.
2825 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2827 * Released nmh-0.06.
2829 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2830 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2832 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2833 many such machines around anymore.
2835 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2836 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2838 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2839 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2841 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2844 pre-generated version if necessary.
2846 * Released nmh-0.05.
2848 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2849 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2850 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2851 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2853 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2854 be linked in one pass.
2856 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2858 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2859 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2861 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2865 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2867 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2868 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2869 become the current folder.
2871 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2873 * Released nmh-0.04.
2875 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2878 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2880 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2881 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2882 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2884 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2886 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2887 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2889 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2891 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2892 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2895 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2896 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2898 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2900 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2901 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2902 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2903 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2904 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2905 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2907 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2909 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2910 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2912 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2913 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2915 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2917 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2918 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2920 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2922 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2923 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2924 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2926 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2928 * Released nmh-0.03.
2930 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2931 .mh_sequence file existed.
2933 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2934 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2936 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2937 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2940 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2942 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2945 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2948 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2949 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2951 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2953 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2954 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2955 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2957 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2959 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2960 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2962 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2964 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2966 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2967 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2968 directory from where the source code is located.
2970 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Released nmh-0.02.
2974 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2979 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2981 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2982 and sys_nerr directly.
2984 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2986 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2988 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2990 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2992 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2993 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2994 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2995 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2996 rather than in script.
2998 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3000 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3002 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3003 macro defined on Solaris.
3005 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3007 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3008 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3010 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3011 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3012 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3013 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3016 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3018 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3019 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3021 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3024 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3028 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3029 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3031 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3034 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3036 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3039 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3040 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3041 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3042 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3043 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3045 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3047 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3049 * Released nmh-0.01.
3051 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3052 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3053 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3056 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3061 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3064 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3066 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3069 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3070 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3071 script to find_program.
3073 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3075 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3076 speed up -recurse option.
3078 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3079 yet, but it compiles :-)
3081 * Changed default location for install to
3082 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3083 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3084 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3087 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3088 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3089 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
