1 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
3 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
4 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
5 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
7 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
9 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
12 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
13 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
15 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
17 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
18 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
20 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
22 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
23 inc does not need to be setgid.
25 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
27 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
28 library, as found on Debian systems.
30 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
32 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
34 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
35 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
36 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
37 case-insensitivity flag.
39 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
41 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
42 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
44 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
46 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
47 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
48 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
49 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
50 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
51 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
52 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
53 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
56 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
57 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
59 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
61 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
62 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
63 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
64 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
65 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
66 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
67 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
68 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
69 the prototype, but never sets it.
71 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
72 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
73 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
74 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
75 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
76 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
78 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
79 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
80 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
81 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
82 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
84 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
86 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
87 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
90 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
91 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
92 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
93 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
94 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
95 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
96 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
98 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
100 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
102 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
103 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
104 this works on other systems.
106 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
108 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
109 checks for write failures.
111 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
113 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
115 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
118 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
120 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
122 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
124 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
125 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
128 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
130 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
131 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
132 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
133 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
135 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
137 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
138 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
141 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
142 as well as Makefiles.
144 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
146 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
147 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
148 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
149 should make maintainability easier.
151 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
152 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
153 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
154 whatever you know works.
156 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
158 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
159 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
160 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
162 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
163 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
164 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
165 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
167 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
168 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
169 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
171 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
172 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
173 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
174 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
175 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
177 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
178 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
179 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
180 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
181 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
182 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
183 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
184 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
185 from the BSD version.
187 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
188 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
189 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
191 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
194 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
197 This happens on solaris:
200 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
201 No manual entry for mts.conf.
205 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
207 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
208 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
210 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
212 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
213 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
214 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
215 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
216 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
217 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
218 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
219 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
220 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
221 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
222 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
224 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
225 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
226 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
227 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
228 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
229 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
232 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
233 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
234 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
235 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
236 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
238 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
239 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
241 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
243 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
244 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
245 to stdin, such as exmh.
247 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
248 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
249 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
252 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
255 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
256 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
257 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
258 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
259 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
260 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
262 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
264 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
265 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
267 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
269 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
270 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
272 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
274 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
277 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
278 along with any -host or -user option.
280 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
282 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
284 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
285 process was fresh in my mind.
287 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
289 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
290 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
292 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
294 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
296 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
299 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
300 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
301 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
302 part of the program's name.
304 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
305 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
308 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
310 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
311 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
312 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
313 single-character format would cause programs using this
314 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
315 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
316 when the format string was one character. This eventually
317 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
320 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
322 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
323 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
324 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
325 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
326 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
327 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
329 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
330 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
331 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
332 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
333 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
334 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
335 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
336 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
338 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
339 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
340 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
341 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
342 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
343 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
344 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
345 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
346 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
347 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
349 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
351 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
352 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
354 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
355 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
357 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
362 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
364 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
365 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
366 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
367 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
369 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
370 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
371 problem in the routine.
373 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
375 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
376 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
378 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
379 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
380 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
383 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
385 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
386 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
387 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
388 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
389 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
390 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
391 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
392 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
393 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
394 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
396 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
398 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
399 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
400 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
401 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
402 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
403 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
404 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
405 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
406 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
407 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
408 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
409 interesting than a duplication of the default.
411 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
412 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
413 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
414 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
415 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
417 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
420 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
422 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
423 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
424 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
425 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
428 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
430 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
432 * Applied, after some finessing,
433 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
435 Here's a patch that allows you to add
437 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
439 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
440 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
441 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
442 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
444 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
446 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
447 forgetting to do so!).
449 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
450 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
451 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
452 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
453 arguments to enable all three types.
455 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
456 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
458 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
459 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
460 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
461 updated copy of mts.conf.
463 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
465 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
466 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
467 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
469 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
471 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
473 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
474 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
475 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
477 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
478 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
479 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
481 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
482 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
483 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
485 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
487 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
489 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
491 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
493 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
494 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
496 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
497 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
498 certain suffix to run properly.
500 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
501 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
502 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
504 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
505 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
506 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
507 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
508 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
509 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
510 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
512 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
514 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
515 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
516 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
517 until some year far in the future).
519 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
521 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
523 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
524 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
526 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
527 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
530 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
532 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
533 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
534 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
535 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
536 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
537 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
539 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
541 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
543 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
544 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
545 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
547 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
548 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
549 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
550 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
551 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
552 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
555 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
556 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
557 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
558 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
559 of masquerading individually.
561 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
562 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
563 GECOS field delimiters.
565 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
567 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
568 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
569 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
570 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
571 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
572 and explaining the feature.
574 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
576 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
577 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
580 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
581 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
582 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
584 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
585 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
586 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
587 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
589 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
590 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
591 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
594 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
596 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
599 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
601 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
603 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
604 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
605 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
606 quotes embedded in them.
608 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
610 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
611 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
612 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
613 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
614 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
615 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
616 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
619 The other theory is that because you can say something like
620 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
621 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
622 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
623 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
625 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
627 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
629 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
630 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
631 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
632 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
634 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
637 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
639 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
641 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
643 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
644 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
645 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
647 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
650 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
652 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
653 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
654 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
655 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
656 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
657 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
659 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
660 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
662 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
664 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
667 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
669 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
670 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
671 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
674 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
675 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
676 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
677 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
678 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
679 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
680 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
681 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
682 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
683 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
684 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
685 processing that post has).
687 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
689 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
690 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
691 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
692 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
693 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
694 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
697 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
699 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
701 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
703 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
705 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
706 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
708 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
711 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
713 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
714 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
715 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
718 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
720 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
721 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
722 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
723 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
724 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
725 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
727 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
729 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
731 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
733 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
734 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
735 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
736 caught again. This works for now.
738 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
740 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
742 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
743 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
745 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
747 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
748 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
750 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
752 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
754 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
756 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
757 changes. Both need more cleanup.
759 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
761 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
762 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
763 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
764 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
765 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
768 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
770 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
771 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
772 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
774 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
775 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
778 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
780 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
781 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
782 to a directory on another device with more free space.
784 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
786 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
787 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
789 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
791 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
794 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
795 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
797 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
798 macros, regardless of platform.
800 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
801 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
803 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
804 with x-conversions=gzip.
806 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
808 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
811 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
812 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
813 implicit definition of ioctl().
815 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
816 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
817 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
818 want to mess with them.
820 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
822 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
823 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
825 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
826 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
828 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
829 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
830 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
832 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
833 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
834 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
836 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
839 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
842 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
843 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
846 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
847 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
850 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
851 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
855 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
857 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
858 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
859 preventing compilation on at least linux.
861 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
862 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
864 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
866 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
868 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
869 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
870 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
871 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
873 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
874 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
876 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
878 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
880 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
882 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
883 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
885 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
887 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
888 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
890 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
891 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
892 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
893 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
895 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
896 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
898 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
900 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
901 substitute it for mktemp if available.
903 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
905 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
906 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
909 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
911 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
913 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
915 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
916 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
918 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
919 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
920 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
922 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
923 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
924 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
926 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
927 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
928 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
930 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
931 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
934 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
935 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
937 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
938 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
940 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
943 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
944 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
945 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
947 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
948 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
950 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
951 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
952 <elleron@servtech.com>.
954 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
955 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
958 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
959 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
961 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
962 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
963 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
964 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
966 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
967 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
969 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
973 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
974 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
975 would not be changed.
977 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
978 one from the Apache web server.
980 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
981 (this should have been done a long time ago).
983 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
984 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
985 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
987 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
989 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
991 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
992 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
995 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
996 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
997 removes a bad race condition.
999 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1002 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1003 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1004 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1006 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1007 sequence information.
1009 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1010 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1012 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1015 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1018 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1020 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1021 interpret 034 as octal.
1023 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1025 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1026 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1028 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1029 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1031 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1032 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1034 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1035 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1037 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1038 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1040 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1041 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1042 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1044 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1045 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1046 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1048 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1050 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1052 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1053 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1056 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1058 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1059 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1061 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1062 header field information.
1064 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1065 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1067 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1068 values when parsing a content.
1070 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1071 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1073 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1074 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1076 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1077 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1079 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1080 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1082 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1084 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1086 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1088 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1090 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1091 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1094 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1095 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1097 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1098 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1099 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1100 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1101 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1102 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1105 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1107 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1108 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1109 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1111 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1112 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1114 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1116 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1117 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1118 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1119 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1121 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1122 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1125 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1126 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1127 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1128 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1131 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1133 * Released nmh-0.27.
1135 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1136 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1138 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1139 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1140 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1141 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1144 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1145 mhbuild returns an error.
1147 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1148 rename the draft file.
1150 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1151 use a global variable.
1153 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1154 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1156 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1157 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1159 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1160 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1161 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1163 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1164 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1166 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1167 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1170 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1171 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1174 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1175 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1177 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1178 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1179 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1181 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1182 to new function output_content_folder.
1184 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1185 new function output_content_file.
1187 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1188 to new function parse_format_string.
1190 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1191 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1192 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1193 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1195 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1196 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1197 message/external file from ftp.
1199 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1200 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1201 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1203 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1204 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1207 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1210 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1211 new file mhstoresbr.c
1213 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1216 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1217 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1219 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1220 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1222 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1223 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1224 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1226 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1228 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1230 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1231 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1234 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1235 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1237 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1240 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1242 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1244 * Released nmh-0.26.
1246 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1247 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1248 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1249 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1251 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1252 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1253 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1254 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1255 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1257 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1258 But it is not on by default.
1260 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1261 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1263 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1265 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1267 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1269 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1271 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1272 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1274 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1276 * Released nmh-0.25.
1278 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1279 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1280 uses the original name of the library.
1282 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1283 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1286 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1287 list_content and list_debug.
1289 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1291 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1292 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1294 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1296 * Released nmh-0.24.
1298 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1300 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1301 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1303 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1304 large sequence line.
1306 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1308 * Released nmh-0.23.
1310 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1312 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1313 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1314 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1315 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1317 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1318 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1321 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1323 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1325 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1327 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1328 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1330 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1331 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1333 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1334 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1336 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1337 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1339 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1341 * Released nmh-0.22.
1343 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1344 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1346 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1348 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1349 mh-profile(5) man page.
1351 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1352 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1354 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1356 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1358 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1359 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1361 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1363 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1364 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1365 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1367 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1368 source message on the standard input.
1370 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1372 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1373 rather than -rfc934mode.
1375 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1376 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1379 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1380 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1382 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1385 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1387 * Released nmh-0.21.
1389 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1390 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1392 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1395 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1396 to use for text contents.
1398 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1400 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1402 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1404 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1406 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1407 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1409 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1410 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1411 spaces between encoded word are.
1413 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1415 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1416 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1418 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1419 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1420 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1422 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1424 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1425 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1427 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1429 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1431 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1432 ISO-8859-X character set.
1434 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1437 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1438 permissions, not write permissions.
1440 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1441 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1443 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1446 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1448 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1450 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1451 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1453 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1454 message contains valid character set.
1456 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1457 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1459 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1460 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1462 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1463 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1464 between an encoded word and normal text.
1466 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1467 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1469 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1470 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1472 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1475 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1476 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1479 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1480 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1482 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1483 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1485 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1487 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1489 * Released nmh-0.20.
1491 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1493 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1495 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1496 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1497 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1499 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1500 and the To: line was missing.
1502 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1504 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1506 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1508 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1509 watch the POP transaction.
1511 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1512 first, and use it if available.
1514 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1515 first, and use it if available.
1517 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1519 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1521 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1522 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1523 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1526 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1527 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1528 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1530 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1531 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1534 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1536 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1537 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1539 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1541 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1542 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1544 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1545 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1546 message to which you are replying.
1548 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1549 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1550 making group replies.
1552 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1554 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1556 * Released nmh-0.19.
1558 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1559 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1561 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1562 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1563 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1564 to the end of the man page.
1566 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1567 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1568 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1569 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1570 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1571 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1573 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1576 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1577 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1578 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1580 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1581 the next available number above the message number you wish
1584 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1585 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1587 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1588 file sbr/seq_print.c
1590 * flist will now update the current folder.
1592 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1593 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1594 but now undocumented.
1596 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1599 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1600 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1602 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1604 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1605 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1607 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1609 * Released nmh-0.18.
1611 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1612 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1613 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1615 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1616 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1618 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1619 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1620 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1621 previous public/private status.
1623 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1626 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1629 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1630 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1631 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1633 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1634 take option to determine whether it should get current
1635 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1636 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1638 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1640 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1641 wait for stopped processes.
1643 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1644 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1646 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1648 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1650 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1651 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1653 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1654 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1656 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1657 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1658 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1659 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1661 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1664 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1667 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1669 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1670 the debugging output.
1672 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1673 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1675 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1677 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1679 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1680 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1682 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1684 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1685 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1686 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1687 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1688 in the given sequence.
1690 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1691 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1692 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1693 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1694 subdirectories of a given directory.
1696 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1697 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1698 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1700 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1701 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1703 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1705 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1708 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1709 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1710 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1712 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1713 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1714 are calculated at runtime.
1716 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1718 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1720 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1721 about checking for global mh.profile.
1723 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1724 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1725 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1726 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1727 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1728 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1730 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1731 adding message to folder itself.
1733 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1734 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1735 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1738 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1739 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1742 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1743 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1744 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1746 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1747 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1749 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1750 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1751 code to use it yet).

1801 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1803 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1804 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".

1809 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1810 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.

1828 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1830 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages

1832 deal with binary messages, yet).
1834 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1836 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1838 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1839 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1840 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1841 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1842 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate

1845 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1846 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

1866 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1868 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

1887 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1888 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1890 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1891 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1893 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1895 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since

1898 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1899 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1900 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1901 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1903 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1904 and put in own subroutine.
1906 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1907 and put in own subroutine.

1915 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1917 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use

1921 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1922 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1924 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1927 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

1942 selected messages to a sequence.
1944 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1947 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1949 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
1950 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
1952 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1954 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

1991 * Released nmh-0.13.
1993 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1994 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1995 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1996 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1999 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2000 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2002 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2004 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2005 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2007 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2009 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2038 will suppress the display of the message header.
2040 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2042 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2043 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2045 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2047 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2049 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2052 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2054 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2055 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2057 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2059 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2061 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2062 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2064 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2065 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2067 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2069 * Released nmh-0.10.

2079 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2081 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2082 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2084 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2089 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2090 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2092 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2094 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2124 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2125 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2127 * Released nmh-0.08.
2129 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2130 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2138 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2141 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2142 rather than mmdf format.
2144 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2145 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2146 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2147 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2149 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2151 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2153 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2156 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2157 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2158 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2160 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2161 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2164 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2167 can still easily change this in config.h).
2169 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2170 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2171 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2173 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2175 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2190 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2192 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2193 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2196 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2197 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2210 * Released nmh-0.06.
2212 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2213 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2215 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2216 many such machines around anymore.
2218 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2219 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2221 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2222 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2224 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2227 pre-generated version if necessary.
2229 * Released nmh-0.05.
2231 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2232 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2233 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2234 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2236 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2237 be linked in one pass.
2239 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2241 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2242 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2244 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2246 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2248 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2250 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2251 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2252 become the current folder.
2254 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2256 * Released nmh-0.04.

2263 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2264 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2265 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2267 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2269 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2270 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2272 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2274 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2275 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2278 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2279 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2281 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2283 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2284 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2285 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2286 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2287 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2288 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2290 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2292 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2293 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2295 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2296 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2298 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2300 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2301 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2303 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2305 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2306 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2307 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2309 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.03.
2313 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2314 .mh_sequence file existed.
2316 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2317 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2319 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2320 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2323 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2325 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2328 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2330 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2331 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2332 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2334 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2336 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2337 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2338 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2340 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2342 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2343 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2345 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2347 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2349 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2350 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2351 directory from where the source code is located.
2353 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * Released nmh-0.02.

2383 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2385 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2394 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable

2416 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2417 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2419 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2421 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2422 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2423 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2424 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2425 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2426 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2428 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2432 * Released nmh-0.01.
2434 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions

2436 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2439 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2447 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2449 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2451 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2452 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2453 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2454 script to find_program.
2456 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2458 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2459 speed up -recurse option.
2461 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2462 yet, but it compiles :-)
2464 * Changed default location for install to
2465 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2466 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2467 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2470 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2471 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2472 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
