1 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
4 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
6 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
8 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
9 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
11 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
13 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
14 find sub-parts of the specified part
16 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
17 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
19 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
21 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
24 136976 - Handle binary content messages
25 143427 - mh-format.man typo
26 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
27 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
28 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
29 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
30 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
31 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
32 181867 - typo for nmh.man
34 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
36 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
37 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
38 contitional code which will result in cached data to
39 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
40 and parse on the first use.
41 * Remove some unused flag bits.
43 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
45 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
46 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
48 #578 - repl leaks umask
49 #1393 - sortm core dumps
50 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
51 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
52 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
54 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
55 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
57 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
59 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
60 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
62 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
64 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
65 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
68 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
70 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
72 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
73 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
74 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
75 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
78 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
80 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
81 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
82 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
83 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
84 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
85 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
88 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
89 summary configure prints out.
91 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
92 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
93 subjectively more readable) format.
95 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
97 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
100 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
102 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
103 19xx when it's not necessary.
105 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
107 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
108 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
111 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
112 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
113 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
114 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
115 the man pages correctly.
117 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
119 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
121 * Finished manpages ali-prev
123 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
124 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
125 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
128 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
129 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
130 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
131 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
133 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
135 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
136 the formatting rules I've been using.
140 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
142 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
143 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
144 used in the manpages.
146 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
147 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
148 read in the contents of the file as the variable
151 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
152 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
153 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
154 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
155 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
156 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
157 bold flags and italicized parameters.
159 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
161 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
162 --with-locking option.
164 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
165 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
166 information was not being communicated to the
167 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
168 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
169 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
170 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
171 undefined symbols problems.
173 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
174 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
175 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
176 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
177 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
178 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
179 for a genuine krb4 installation.
181 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
183 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
184 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
186 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
188 * Made a new ./configure option called
189 "--with-locking" that allows the file
190 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
191 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
193 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
194 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
195 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
196 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
197 the user that these are the valid options, and
198 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
201 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
203 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
204 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
205 committed to supporting flex only, since
206 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
207 string, as well as other problems documented
208 below and on nmh-workers.
210 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
211 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
212 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
215 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
216 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
218 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
220 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
221 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
222 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
224 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
226 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
227 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
229 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
231 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
232 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
233 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
234 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
235 couldn't correctly identify them.
237 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
239 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
240 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
241 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
242 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
243 not depending on an external archive.
245 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
246 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
247 mts/generic is no longer built.
249 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
251 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
252 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
253 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
254 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
255 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
256 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
257 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
258 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
260 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
262 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
263 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
266 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
268 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
269 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
270 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
273 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
274 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
275 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
276 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
278 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
279 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
280 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
281 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
282 merged into the smtp code).
284 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
285 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
286 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
289 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
290 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
291 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
292 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
293 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
294 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
295 in the appropriate Makefile.in
297 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
299 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
300 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
301 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
302 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
303 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
304 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
305 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
306 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
307 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
308 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
309 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
311 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
313 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
314 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
315 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
316 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
317 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
318 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
319 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
320 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
321 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
323 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
325 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
326 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
329 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
331 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
332 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
334 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
336 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
337 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
338 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
339 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
341 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
343 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
344 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
345 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
346 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
347 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
349 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
350 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
352 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
354 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
356 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
357 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
358 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
359 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
361 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
362 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
363 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
364 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
366 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
367 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
368 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
369 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
371 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
372 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
373 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
375 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
377 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
378 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
379 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
380 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
381 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
382 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
385 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
386 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
388 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
389 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
391 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
393 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
395 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
397 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
398 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
399 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
400 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
402 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
404 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
405 be easily changed from "," to "#".
407 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
409 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
411 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
412 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
415 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
417 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
418 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
419 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
420 but not for the subsequent data stream.
422 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
424 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
425 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
426 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
427 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
428 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
430 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
432 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
433 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
435 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
436 cat, also define lorder as echo.
438 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
440 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
442 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
443 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
444 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
446 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
448 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
451 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
452 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
454 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
456 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
457 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
459 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
461 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
462 inc does not need to be setgid.
464 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
466 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
467 library, as found on Debian systems.
469 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
471 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
473 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
474 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
475 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
476 case-insensitivity flag.
478 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
480 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
481 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
483 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
485 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
486 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
487 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
488 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
489 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
490 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
491 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
492 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
493 getting moved aside).
495 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
496 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
498 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
500 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
501 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
502 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
503 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
504 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
505 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
506 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
507 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
508 the prototype, but never sets it.
510 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
511 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
512 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
513 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
514 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
515 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
517 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
518 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
519 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
520 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
521 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
523 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
525 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
526 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
529 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
530 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
531 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
532 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
533 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
534 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
535 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
537 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
539 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
541 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
542 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
543 this works on other systems.
545 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
547 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
548 checks for write failures.
550 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
552 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
554 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
557 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
559 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
561 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
563 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
564 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
567 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
569 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
570 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
571 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
572 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
574 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
576 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
577 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
580 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
581 as well as Makefiles.
583 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
585 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
586 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
587 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
588 should make maintainability easier.
590 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
591 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
592 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
593 whatever you know works.
595 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
597 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
598 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
599 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
601 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
602 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
603 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
604 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
606 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
607 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
608 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
610 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
611 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
612 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
613 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
614 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
616 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
617 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
618 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
619 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
620 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
621 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
622 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
623 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
624 from the BSD version.
626 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
627 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
628 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
630 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
633 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
636 This happens on solaris:
639 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
640 No manual entry for mts.conf.
644 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
646 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
647 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
649 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
651 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
652 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
653 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
654 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
655 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
656 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
657 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
658 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
659 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
660 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
661 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
663 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
664 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
665 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
666 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
667 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
668 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
671 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
672 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
673 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
674 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
675 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
677 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
678 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
680 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
682 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
683 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
684 to stdin, such as exmh.
686 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
687 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
688 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
691 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
693 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
694 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
695 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
696 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
697 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
698 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
699 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
701 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
703 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
704 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
706 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
708 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
709 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
711 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
713 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
716 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
717 along with any -host or -user option.
719 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
721 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
723 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
724 process was fresh in my mind.
726 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
728 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
729 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
731 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
733 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
735 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
738 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
739 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
740 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
741 part of the program's name.
743 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
744 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
747 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
749 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
750 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
751 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
752 single-character format would cause programs using this
753 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
754 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
755 when the format string was one character. This eventually
756 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
759 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
761 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
762 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
763 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
764 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
765 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
766 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
768 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
769 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
770 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
771 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
772 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
773 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
774 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
775 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
777 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
778 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
779 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
780 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
781 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
782 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
783 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
784 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
785 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
786 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
788 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
790 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
791 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
793 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
794 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
796 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
801 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
803 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
804 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
805 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
806 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
808 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
809 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
810 problem in the routine.
812 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
814 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
815 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
817 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
818 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
819 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
822 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
824 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
825 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
826 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
827 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
828 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
829 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
830 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
831 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
832 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
833 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
835 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
837 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
838 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
839 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
840 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
841 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
842 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
843 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
844 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
845 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
846 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
847 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
848 interesting than a duplication of the default.
850 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
851 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
852 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
853 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
854 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
856 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
859 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
861 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
862 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
863 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
864 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
867 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
869 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * Applied, after some finessing,
872 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
874 Here's a patch that allows you to add
876 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
878 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
879 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
880 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
881 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
883 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
885 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
886 forgetting to do so!).
888 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
889 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
890 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
891 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
892 arguments to enable all three types.
894 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
895 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
897 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
898 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
899 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
900 updated copy of mts.conf.
902 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
904 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
905 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
906 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
908 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
910 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
912 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
913 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
914 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
916 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
917 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
918 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
920 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
921 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
922 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
924 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
926 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
928 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
930 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
932 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
933 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
935 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
936 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
937 certain suffix to run properly.
939 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
940 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
941 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
943 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
944 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
945 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
946 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
947 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
948 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
949 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
951 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
953 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
954 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
955 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
956 until some year far in the future).
958 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
960 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
962 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
963 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
965 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
966 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
969 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
972 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
973 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
974 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
975 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
976 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
978 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
980 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
982 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
983 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
984 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
986 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
987 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
988 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
989 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
990 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
991 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
994 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
995 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
996 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
997 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
998 of masquerading individually.
1000 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1001 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1002 GECOS field delimiters.
1004 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1006 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1007 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1008 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1009 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1010 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1011 and explaining the feature.
1013 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1015 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1016 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1019 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1020 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1021 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1023 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1024 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1025 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1026 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1028 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1029 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1030 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1033 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1035 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1036 code to be executed.
1038 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1040 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1042 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1043 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1044 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1045 quotes embedded in them.
1047 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1049 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1050 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1051 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1052 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1053 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1054 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1055 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1058 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1059 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1060 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1061 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1062 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1064 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1066 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1068 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1069 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1070 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1071 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1073 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1076 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1078 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1080 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1083 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1084 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1086 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1089 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1091 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1092 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1093 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1094 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1095 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1096 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1098 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1099 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1101 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1103 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1106 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1108 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1109 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1110 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1113 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1114 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1115 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1116 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1117 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1118 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1119 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1120 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1121 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1122 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1123 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1124 processing that post has).
1126 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1128 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1129 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1130 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1131 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1132 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1133 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1136 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1138 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1140 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1142 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1144 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1145 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1147 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1150 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1152 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1153 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1154 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1157 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1159 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1160 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1161 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1162 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1163 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1164 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1166 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1168 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1170 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1172 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1173 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1174 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1175 caught again. This works for now.
1177 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1179 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1181 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1182 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1184 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1186 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1187 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1189 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1191 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1193 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1195 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1196 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1198 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1200 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1201 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1202 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1203 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1204 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1207 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1209 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1210 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1211 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1213 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1214 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1217 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1219 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1220 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1221 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1223 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1225 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1226 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1228 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1230 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1233 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1234 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1236 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1237 macros, regardless of platform.
1239 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1240 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1242 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1243 with x-conversions=gzip.
1245 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1247 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1250 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1251 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1252 implicit definition of ioctl().
1254 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1255 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1256 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1257 want to mess with them.
1259 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1261 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1262 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1264 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1265 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1267 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1268 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1269 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1271 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1272 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1273 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1275 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1276 function initgroups.
1278 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1281 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1282 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1285 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1286 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1289 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1290 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1294 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1296 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1297 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1298 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1300 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1301 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1303 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1305 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1307 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1308 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1309 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1310 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1312 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1313 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1315 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1317 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1319 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1322 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1324 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1326 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1327 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1329 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1330 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1331 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1332 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1334 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1335 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1337 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1339 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1340 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1342 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1344 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1345 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1348 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1350 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1352 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1354 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1355 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1357 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1358 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1359 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1361 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1362 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1363 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1365 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1366 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1367 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1369 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1370 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1373 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1374 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1376 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1377 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1379 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1380 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1382 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1383 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1384 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1386 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1387 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1389 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1390 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1391 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1393 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1394 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1397 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1398 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1400 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1401 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1402 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1403 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1405 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1406 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1408 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1412 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1413 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1414 would not be changed.
1416 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1417 one from the Apache web server.
1419 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1420 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1422 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1423 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1424 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1426 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1428 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1430 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1431 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1434 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1435 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1436 removes a bad race condition.
1438 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1441 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1442 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1443 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1445 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1446 sequence information.
1448 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1449 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1451 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1454 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1457 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1459 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1460 interpret 034 as octal.
1462 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1464 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1465 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1467 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1468 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1470 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1471 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1473 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1474 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1476 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1477 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1479 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1480 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1481 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1483 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1484 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1485 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1487 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1489 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1491 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1492 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1495 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1497 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1498 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1500 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1501 header field information.
1503 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1504 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1506 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1507 values when parsing a content.
1509 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1510 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1512 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1513 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1515 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1516 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1518 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1519 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1521 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1523 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1525 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1527 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1529 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1530 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1533 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1534 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1536 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1537 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1538 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1539 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1540 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1541 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1544 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1546 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1547 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1548 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1550 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1551 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1553 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1555 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1556 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1557 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1558 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1560 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1561 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1564 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1565 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1566 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1567 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1570 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1572 * Released nmh-0.27.
1574 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1575 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1577 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1578 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1579 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1580 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1583 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1584 mhbuild returns an error.
1586 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1587 rename the draft file.
1589 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1590 use a global variable.
1592 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1593 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1595 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1596 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1598 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1599 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1600 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1602 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1603 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1605 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1606 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1609 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1610 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1613 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1614 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1616 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1617 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1618 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1620 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1621 to new function output_content_folder.
1623 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1624 new function output_content_file.
1626 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1627 to new function parse_format_string.
1629 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1630 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1631 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1632 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1634 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1635 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1636 message/external file from ftp.
1638 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1639 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1640 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1642 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1643 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1646 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1649 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1650 new file mhstoresbr.c
1652 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1655 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1656 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1658 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1659 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1661 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1662 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1663 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1665 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1667 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1669 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1670 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1673 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1674 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1676 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1679 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1681 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1683 * Released nmh-0.26.
1685 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1686 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1687 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1688 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1690 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1691 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1692 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1693 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1694 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1696 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1697 But it is not on by default.
1699 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1700 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1702 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1704 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1706 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1708 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1710 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1711 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1713 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1715 * Released nmh-0.25.
1717 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1718 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1719 uses the original name of the library.
1721 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1722 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1725 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1726 list_content and list_debug.
1728 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1730 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1731 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1733 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1735 * Released nmh-0.24.
1737 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1739 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1740 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1742 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1743 large sequence line.
1745 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747 * Released nmh-0.23.
1749 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1751 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1752 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1753 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1754 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1756 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1757 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1760 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1762 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1764 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1766 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1767 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1769 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1770 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1772 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1773 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1775 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1776 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1778 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1780 * Released nmh-0.22.
1782 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1783 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1785 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1787 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1788 mh-profile(5) man page.
1790 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1791 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1793 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1795 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1797 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1798 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1800 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1802 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1803 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1804 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1806 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1807 source message on the standard input.
1809 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1811 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1812 rather than -rfc934mode.
1814 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1815 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1818 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1819 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1821 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1824 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * Released nmh-0.21.
1828 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1829 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1831 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1834 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1835 to use for text contents.
1837 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1839 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1841 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1843 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1845 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1846 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1848 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1849 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1850 spaces between encoded word are.
1852 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1854 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1855 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1857 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1858 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1859 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1861 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1863 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1864 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1866 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1868 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1870 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1871 ISO-8859-X character set.
1873 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1876 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1877 permissions, not write permissions.
1879 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1880 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1882 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1885 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1887 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1889 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1890 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1892 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1893 message contains valid character set.
1895 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1896 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1898 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1899 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1901 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1902 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1903 between an encoded word and normal text.
1905 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1906 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1908 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1909 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1911 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1914 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1915 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1918 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1919 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1921 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1922 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1924 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1926 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928 * Released nmh-0.20.
1930 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1932 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1934 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1935 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1936 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1938 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1939 and the To: line was missing.
1941 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1943 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1945 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1947 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1948 watch the POP transaction.
1950 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1951 first, and use it if available.
1953 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1954 first, and use it if available.
1956 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1958 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1960 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1961 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1962 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1965 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1966 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1967 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1969 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1970 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1973 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1975 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1976 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1978 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1980 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1981 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1983 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1984 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1985 message to which you are replying.
1987 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1988 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1989 making group replies.
1991 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1993 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1995 * Released nmh-0.19.
1997 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1998 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2000 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2001 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2002 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2003 to the end of the man page.
2005 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2006 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2007 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2008 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2009 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2010 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2012 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2015 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2016 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2017 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2019 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2020 the next available number above the message number you wish
2023 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2024 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2026 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2027 file sbr/seq_print.c
2029 * flist will now update the current folder.
2031 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2032 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2033 but now undocumented.
2035 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2038 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2039 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2041 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2043 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2044 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2046 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2048 * Released nmh-0.18.
2050 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2051 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2052 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2054 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2055 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2057 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2058 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2059 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2060 previous public/private status.
2062 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2065 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2068 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2069 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2070 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2072 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2073 take option to determine whether it should get current
2074 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2075 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2077 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2079 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2080 wait for stopped processes.
2082 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2083 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2085 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2087 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2089 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2090 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2092 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2093 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2095 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2096 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2097 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2098 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2100 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2103 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2106 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2108 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2109 the debugging output.
2111 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2112 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2114 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2116 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2118 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2119 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2121 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2123 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2124 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2125 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2126 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2127 in the given sequence.
2129 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2130 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2131 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2132 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2133 subdirectories of a given directory.
2135 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2136 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2137 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2139 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2140 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2142 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2144 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2147 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2148 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2149 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2151 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2152 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2153 are calculated at runtime.
2155 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2157 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2159 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2160 about checking for global mh.profile.
2162 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2163 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2164 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2165 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2166 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2167 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2169 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2170 adding message to folder itself.
2172 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2173 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2174 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2177 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2178 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2181 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2182 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2183 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2185 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2186 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2188 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2189 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2190 code to use it yet).
2192 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2196 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2197 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2199 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2200 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2202 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2204 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2207 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2209 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2211 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2213 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2215 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2216 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2218 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2220 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2222 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2224 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2226 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2228 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2229 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2231 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2232 configuration files.
2234 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2236 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2238 * Released nmh-0.17.
2240 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2242 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2243 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2245 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2248 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2249 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2251 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2252 number of refiled message.
2254 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2256 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2257 for return value of wait().
2259 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2261 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2263 * Released nmh-0.16.
2265 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2267 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2269 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2270 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2271 deal with binary messages, yet).
2273 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2275 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2277 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2278 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2279 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2280 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2281 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2282 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2284 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2285 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

2288 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2290 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2291 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2294 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2296 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2298 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2299 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2302 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2305 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2307 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2308 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2309 which used unsigned chars by default.

2313 * Released nmh-0.15.
2315 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2326 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2327 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2329 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2330 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2332 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2334 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2335 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2337 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2338 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2339 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2340 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2342 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2343 and put in own subroutine.
2345 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2346 and put in own subroutine.
2348 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2349 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and

2360 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2361 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2363 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2366 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2381 selected messages to a sequence.
2383 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2386 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2388 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2389 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2391 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2430 * Released nmh-0.13.
2432 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2433 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2434 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2435 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2438 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2439 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2441 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2443 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2444 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2446 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2448 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2477 will suppress the display of the message header.
2479 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2481 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2482 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2484 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2486 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2488 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2491 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2493 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2494 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2496 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2498 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2500 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2501 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2503 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2504 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2506 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2508 * Released nmh-0.10.

2518 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2520 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2521 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2523 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2526 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2529 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2531 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2561 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2563 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2564 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2566 * Released nmh-0.08.
2568 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2569 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2570 locking database itself.

2574 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2576 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2577 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2580 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2581 rather than mmdf format.
2583 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2584 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2585 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2586 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2588 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2590 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2592 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2595 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2596 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2597 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2599 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2600 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2601 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2603 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2605 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2606 can still easily change this in config.h).
2608 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2609 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2610 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2612 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2614 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2628 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2629 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2631 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2632 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2635 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2636 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2649 * Released nmh-0.06.
2651 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2652 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2654 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2655 many such machines around anymore.
2657 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2658 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2660 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2661 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2663 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2665 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2666 pre-generated version if necessary.
2668 * Released nmh-0.05.
2670 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2671 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2672 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2673 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2675 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2676 be linked in one pass.
2678 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2680 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2681 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2683 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2685 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2687 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2689 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2690 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2691 become the current folder.
2693 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2695 * Released nmh-0.04.
2697 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2700 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2702 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2703 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2704 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2706 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2709 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2711 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2713 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2714 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2717 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2718 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2720 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2722 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2723 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2724 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2725 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2726 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2727 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2729 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2731 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2732 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2734 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2735 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2737 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2739 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2740 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2742 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2744 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2745 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2746 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2748 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2750 * Released nmh-0.03.
2752 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2753 .mh_sequence file existed.
2755 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2756 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2758 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2759 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2762 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2764 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2767 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2769 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2770 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2771 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2773 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2775 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2776 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2777 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2779 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2781 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2782 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2784 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2786 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2789 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2790 directory from where the source code is located.
2792 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2794 * Released nmh-0.02.

2808 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2810 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2812 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2814 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2815 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2816 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2817 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2818 rather than in script.
2820 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2824 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2825 macro defined on Solaris.

2829 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2830 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2832 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2833 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2834 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2835 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2838 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2840 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2841 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2843 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2846 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2850 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2851 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2853 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2855 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2856 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2858 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2860 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2861 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2862 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2863 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2864 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2865 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2867 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2869 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2871 * Released nmh-0.01.
2873 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
