3 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
4 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
5 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
6 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
8 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
9 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
10 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
11 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
13 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
14 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
15 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
16 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
18 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
19 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
20 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
22 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
24 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
25 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
26 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
27 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
28 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
29 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
32 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
33 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
35 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
36 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
38 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
40 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
42 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
44 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
45 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
46 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
47 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
49 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
51 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
52 be easily changed from "," to "#".
54 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
56 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
58 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
59 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
62 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
64 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
65 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
66 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
67 but not for the subsequent data stream.
69 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
71 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
72 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
73 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
74 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
75 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
77 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
79 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
80 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
82 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
83 cat, also define lorder as echo.
85 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
87 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
89 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
90 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
91 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
93 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
95 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
98 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
99 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
101 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
103 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
104 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
106 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
108 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
109 inc does not need to be setgid.
111 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
113 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
114 library, as found on Debian systems.
116 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
118 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
120 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
121 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
122 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
123 case-insensitivity flag.
125 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
127 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
128 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
130 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
132 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
133 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
134 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
135 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
136 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
137 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
138 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
139 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
140 getting moved aside).
142 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
143 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
145 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
147 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
148 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
149 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
150 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
151 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
152 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
153 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
154 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
155 the prototype, but never sets it.
157 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
158 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
159 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
160 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
161 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
162 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
164 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
165 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
166 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
167 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
168 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
170 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
172 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
173 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
176 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
177 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
178 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
179 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
180 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
181 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
182 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
184 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
186 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
188 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
189 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
190 this works on other systems.
192 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
194 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
195 checks for write failures.
197 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
199 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
201 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
204 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
206 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
208 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
210 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
211 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
214 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
216 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
217 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
218 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
219 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
221 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
223 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
224 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
227 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
228 as well as Makefiles.
230 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
232 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
233 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
234 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
235 should make maintainability easier.
237 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
238 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
239 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
240 whatever you know works.
242 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
244 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
245 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
246 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
248 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
249 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
250 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
251 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
253 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
254 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
255 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
257 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
258 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
259 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
260 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
261 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
263 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
264 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
265 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
266 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
267 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
268 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
269 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
270 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
271 from the BSD version.
273 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
274 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
275 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
277 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
280 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
283 This happens on solaris:
286 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
287 No manual entry for mts.conf.
291 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
293 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
294 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
296 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
298 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
299 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
300 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
301 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
302 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
303 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
304 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
305 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
306 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
307 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
308 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
310 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
311 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
312 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
313 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
314 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
315 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
318 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
319 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
320 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
321 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
322 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
324 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
325 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
327 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
329 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
330 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
331 to stdin, such as exmh.
333 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
334 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
335 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
338 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
340 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
341 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
342 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
343 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
344 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
345 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
346 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
348 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
350 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
351 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
353 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
355 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
356 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
358 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
360 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
363 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
364 along with any -host or -user option.
366 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
368 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
370 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
371 process was fresh in my mind.
373 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
375 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
376 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
378 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
380 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
382 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
385 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
386 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
387 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
388 part of the program's name.
390 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
391 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
394 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
396 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
397 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
398 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
399 single-character format would cause programs using this
400 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
401 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
402 when the format string was one character. This eventually
403 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
406 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
408 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
409 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
410 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
411 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
412 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
413 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
415 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
416 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
417 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
418 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
419 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
420 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
421 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
422 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
424 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
425 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
426 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
427 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
428 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
429 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
430 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
431 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
432 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
433 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
435 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
437 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
438 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
440 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
441 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
443 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
448 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
450 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
451 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
452 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
453 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
455 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
456 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
457 problem in the routine.
459 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
461 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
462 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
464 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
465 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
466 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
469 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
471 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
472 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
473 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
474 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
475 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
476 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
477 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
478 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
479 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
480 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
482 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
484 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
485 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
486 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
487 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
488 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
489 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
490 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
491 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
492 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
493 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
494 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
495 interesting than a duplication of the default.
497 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
498 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
499 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
500 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
501 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
503 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
506 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
508 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
509 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
510 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
511 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
514 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
516 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
518 * Applied, after some finessing,
519 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
521 Here's a patch that allows you to add
523 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
525 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
526 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
527 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
528 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
530 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
532 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
533 forgetting to do so!).
535 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
536 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
537 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
538 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
539 arguments to enable all three types.
541 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
542 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
544 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
545 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
546 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
547 updated copy of mts.conf.
549 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
551 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
552 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
553 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
555 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
557 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
559 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
560 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
561 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
563 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
564 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
565 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
567 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
568 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
569 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
571 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
573 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
575 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
577 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
579 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
580 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
582 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
583 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
584 certain suffix to run properly.
586 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
587 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
588 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
590 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
591 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
592 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
593 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
594 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
595 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
596 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
598 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
600 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
601 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
602 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
603 until some year far in the future).
605 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
607 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
609 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
610 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
612 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
613 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
616 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
618 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
619 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
620 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
621 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
622 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
623 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
625 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
627 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
629 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
630 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
631 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
633 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
634 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
635 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
636 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
637 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
638 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
641 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
642 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
643 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
644 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
645 of masquerading individually.
647 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
648 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
649 GECOS field delimiters.
651 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
653 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
654 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
655 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
656 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
657 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
658 and explaining the feature.
660 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
662 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
663 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
666 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
667 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
668 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
670 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
671 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
672 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
673 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
675 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
676 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
677 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
680 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
682 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
685 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
687 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
689 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
690 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
691 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
692 quotes embedded in them.
694 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
696 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
697 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
698 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
699 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
700 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
701 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
702 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
705 The other theory is that because you can say something like
706 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
707 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
708 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
709 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
711 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
713 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
715 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
716 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
717 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
718 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
720 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
723 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
725 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
727 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
729 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
730 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
731 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
733 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
736 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
738 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
739 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
740 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
741 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
742 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
743 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
745 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
746 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
748 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
750 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
753 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
755 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
756 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
757 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
760 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
761 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
762 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
763 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
764 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
765 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
766 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
767 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
768 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
769 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
770 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
771 processing that post has).
773 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
775 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
776 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
777 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
778 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
779 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
780 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
783 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
785 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
787 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
789 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
791 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
792 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
794 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
797 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
799 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
800 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
801 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
804 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
806 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
807 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
808 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
809 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
810 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
811 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
813 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
815 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
817 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
819 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
820 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
821 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
822 caught again. This works for now.
824 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
826 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
828 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
829 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
831 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
833 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
834 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
836 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
838 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
840 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
842 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
843 changes. Both need more cleanup.
845 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
847 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
848 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
849 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
850 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
851 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
854 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
856 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
857 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
858 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
860 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
861 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
864 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
867 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
868 to a directory on another device with more free space.
870 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
872 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
873 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
875 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
877 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
880 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
881 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
883 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
884 macros, regardless of platform.
886 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
887 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
889 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
890 with x-conversions=gzip.
892 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
894 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
897 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
898 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
899 implicit definition of ioctl().
901 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
902 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
903 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
904 want to mess with them.
906 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
908 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
909 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
911 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
912 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
914 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
915 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
916 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
918 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
919 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
920 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
922 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
925 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
928 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
929 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
932 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
933 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
936 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
937 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
941 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
943 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
944 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
945 preventing compilation on at least linux.
947 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
948 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
950 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
952 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
954 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
955 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
956 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
957 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
959 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
960 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
962 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
964 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
966 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
968 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
969 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
971 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
974 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
976 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
977 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
978 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
979 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
981 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
982 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
984 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
986 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
987 substitute it for mktemp if available.
989 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
991 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
992 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
995 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
997 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
999 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1001 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1002 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1004 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1005 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1006 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1008 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1009 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1010 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1012 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1013 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1014 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1016 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1017 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1020 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1021 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1023 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1024 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1026 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1027 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1029 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1030 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1031 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1033 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1034 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1036 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1037 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1038 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1040 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1041 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1044 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1045 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1047 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1048 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1049 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1050 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1052 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1053 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1055 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1059 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1060 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1061 would not be changed.
1063 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1064 one from the Apache web server.
1066 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1067 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1069 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1070 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1071 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1073 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1075 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1077 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1078 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1081 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1082 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1083 removes a bad race condition.
1085 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1088 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1089 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1090 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1092 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1093 sequence information.
1095 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1096 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1098 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1101 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1104 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1106 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1107 interpret 034 as octal.
1109 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1111 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1112 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1114 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1115 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1117 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1118 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1120 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1121 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1123 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1124 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1126 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1127 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1128 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1130 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1131 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1132 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1134 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1136 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1138 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1139 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1142 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1144 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1145 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1147 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1148 header field information.
1150 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1151 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1153 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1154 values when parsing a content.
1156 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1157 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1159 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1160 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1162 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1163 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1165 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1166 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1168 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1170 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1172 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1174 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1176 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1177 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1180 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1181 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1183 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1184 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1185 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1186 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1187 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1188 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1191 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1193 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1194 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1195 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1197 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1198 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1200 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1202 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1203 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1204 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1205 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1207 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1208 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1211 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1212 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1213 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1214 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1217 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1219 * Released nmh-0.27.
1221 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1222 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1224 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1225 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1226 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1227 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1230 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1231 mhbuild returns an error.
1233 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1234 rename the draft file.
1236 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1237 use a global variable.
1239 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1240 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1242 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1243 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1245 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1246 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1247 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1249 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1250 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1252 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1253 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1256 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1257 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1260 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1261 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1263 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1264 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1265 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1267 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1268 to new function output_content_folder.
1270 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1271 new function output_content_file.
1273 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1274 to new function parse_format_string.
1276 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1277 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1278 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1279 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1281 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1282 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1283 message/external file from ftp.
1285 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1286 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1287 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1289 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1290 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1293 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1296 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1297 new file mhstoresbr.c
1299 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1302 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1303 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1305 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1306 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1308 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1309 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1310 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1312 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1314 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1316 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1317 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1320 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1321 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1323 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1326 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1328 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1330 * Released nmh-0.26.
1332 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1333 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1334 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1335 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1337 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1338 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1339 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1340 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1341 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1343 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1344 But it is not on by default.
1346 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1347 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1349 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1351 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1353 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1355 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1357 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1358 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1360 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1362 * Released nmh-0.25.
1364 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1365 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1366 uses the original name of the library.
1368 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1369 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1372 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1373 list_content and list_debug.
1375 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1377 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1378 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1380 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1382 * Released nmh-0.24.
1384 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1386 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1387 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1389 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1390 large sequence line.
1392 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1394 * Released nmh-0.23.
1396 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1398 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1399 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1400 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1401 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1403 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1404 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1407 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1409 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1411 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1413 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1414 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1416 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1417 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1419 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1420 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1422 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1423 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1425 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1427 * Released nmh-0.22.
1429 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1430 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1432 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1434 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1435 mh-profile(5) man page.
1437 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1438 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1440 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1442 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1444 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1445 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1447 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1449 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1450 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1451 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1453 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1454 source message on the standard input.
1456 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1458 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1459 rather than -rfc934mode.
1461 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1462 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1465 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1466 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1468 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1471 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1473 * Released nmh-0.21.
1475 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1476 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1478 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1481 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1482 to use for text contents.
1484 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1486 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1488 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1490 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1492 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1493 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1495 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1496 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1497 spaces between encoded word are.
1499 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1501 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1502 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1504 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1505 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1506 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1508 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1510 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1511 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1513 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1515 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1517 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1518 ISO-8859-X character set.
1520 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1523 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1524 permissions, not write permissions.
1526 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1527 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1529 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1532 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1534 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1536 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1537 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1539 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1540 message contains valid character set.
1542 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1543 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1545 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1546 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1548 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1549 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1550 between an encoded word and normal text.
1552 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1553 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1555 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1556 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1558 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1561 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1562 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1565 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1566 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1568 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1569 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1571 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1573 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1575 * Released nmh-0.20.
1577 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1579 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1581 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1582 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1583 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1585 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1586 and the To: line was missing.
1588 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1590 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1592 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1594 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1595 watch the POP transaction.
1597 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1598 first, and use it if available.
1600 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1601 first, and use it if available.
1603 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1605 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1607 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1608 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1609 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1612 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1613 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1614 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1616 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1617 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1620 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1622 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1623 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1625 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1627 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1628 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1630 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1631 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1632 message to which you are replying.
1634 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1635 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1636 making group replies.
1638 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1640 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1642 * Released nmh-0.19.
1644 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1645 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1647 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1648 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1649 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1650 to the end of the man page.
1652 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1653 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1654 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1655 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1656 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1657 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1659 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1662 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1663 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1664 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1666 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1667 the next available number above the message number you wish
1670 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1671 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1673 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1674 file sbr/seq_print.c
1676 * flist will now update the current folder.
1678 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1679 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1680 but now undocumented.
1682 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1685 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1686 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1688 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1690 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1691 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1693 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1695 * Released nmh-0.18.
1697 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1698 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1699 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1701 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1702 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1704 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1705 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1706 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1707 previous public/private status.
1709 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1712 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1715 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1716 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1717 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1719 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1720 take option to determine whether it should get current
1721 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1722 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1724 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1726 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1727 wait for stopped processes.
1729 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1730 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1732 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1734 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1736 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1737 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1739 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1740 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1742 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1743 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1744 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1745 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1747 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1750 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1753 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1755 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1756 the debugging output.
1758 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1759 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1761 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1763 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1765 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1766 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1768 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1770 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1771 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1772 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1773 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1774 in the given sequence.
1776 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1777 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1778 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1779 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1780 subdirectories of a given directory.
1782 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1783 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1784 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1786 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1787 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1789 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1791 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1794 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1795 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1796 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1798 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1799 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1800 are calculated at runtime.
1802 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1804 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1806 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1807 about checking for global mh.profile.
1809 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1810 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1811 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1812 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1813 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1814 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1816 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1817 adding message to folder itself.
1819 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1820 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1821 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1824 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1825 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1828 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1829 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1830 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1832 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1833 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1835 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1836 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1837 code to use it yet).
1839 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1841 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1843 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1844 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1846 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1847 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1849 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1851 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1854 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1856 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1858 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1860 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1862 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1863 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

1867 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1869 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1871 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1873 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1875 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1876 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1878 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1879 configuration files.
1881 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1883 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1887 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1889 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1890 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1892 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1895 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1896 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1898 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1899 number of refiled message.
1901 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1903 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1904 for return value of wait().
1906 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1908 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1910 * Released nmh-0.16.
1912 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1914 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1916 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1917 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1918 deal with binary messages, yet).
1920 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1922 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1924 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1925 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1926 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1927 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1928 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1929 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1931 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1932 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1934 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1935 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1937 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1938 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1941 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1943 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1945 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1946 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1949 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1952 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1954 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1955 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1956 which used unsigned chars by default.
1958 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1960 * Released nmh-0.15.
1962 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1967 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1969 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1972 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1973 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1974 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1976 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1977 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1979 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1981 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1982 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1984 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1985 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1986 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1987 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1989 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1990 and put in own subroutine.
1992 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1993 and put in own subroutine.
1995 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1996 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1997 refile.c to use new routine.
1999 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2001 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2003 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2006 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2007 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2008 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2010 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2013 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2014 adding message to sequence.
2016 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2017 corresponding file in sbr.
2019 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2022 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2024 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2025 all selected messages from a sequence.
2027 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2028 selected messages to a sequence.
2030 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2033 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2035 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2036 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2038 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2040 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2077 * Released nmh-0.13.
2079 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2080 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2081 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2082 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2085 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2086 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2088 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2090 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2091 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2093 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2095 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2112 mp->attrstats with macros.
2114 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2117 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2120 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2121 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2123 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2124 will suppress the display of the message header.
2126 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2128 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2129 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2131 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2133 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2135 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2137 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2138 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2140 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2141 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2143 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2145 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2147 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2148 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2150 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2151 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2153 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2155 * Released nmh-0.10.

2162 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2164 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2165 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2167 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2168 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2170 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2173 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2175 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2176 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2178 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2180 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2203 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2205 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2206 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2208 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2210 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2211 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2213 * Released nmh-0.08.
2215 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2216 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2217 locking database itself.

2221 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2223 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2224 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2227 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2228 rather than mmdf format.
2230 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2231 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2232 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2233 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2235 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2237 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2239 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2242 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2243 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2244 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2246 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2247 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2248 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2250 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2252 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2253 can still easily change this in config.h).
2255 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2256 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2257 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2259 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2261 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2262 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2273 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2275 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2276 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2278 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2279 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2282 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2283 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2285 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2286 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2288 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2290 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2292 * Added configure check for tzset.
2294 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Released nmh-0.06.
2298 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2299 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2301 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2302 many such machines around anymore.
2304 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2305 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2307 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2308 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2310 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2312 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2313 pre-generated version if necessary.
2315 * Released nmh-0.05.
2317 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2318 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2319 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2320 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2322 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2323 be linked in one pass.
2325 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2327 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2328 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2330 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2332 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2334 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2336 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2337 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2338 become the current folder.
2340 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2342 * Released nmh-0.04.
2344 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2347 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2349 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2350 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2351 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2353 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2356 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2358 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2360 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2361 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2364 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2365 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2367 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2369 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2370 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2371 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2372 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2373 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2374 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2376 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2379 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2381 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2382 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2384 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2386 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2387 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2389 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2392 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2393 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2395 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2397 * Released nmh-0.03.
2399 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2400 .mh_sequence file existed.
2402 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2403 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2405 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2406 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2409 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2411 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2414 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2416 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2417 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2418 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2420 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2422 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2423 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2424 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2426 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2428 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2429 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2431 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2433 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2435 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2436 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2437 directory from where the source code is located.
2439 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2441 * Released nmh-0.02.
2443 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2448 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2450 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2451 and sys_nerr directly.
2453 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2455 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2457 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2459 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2461 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2462 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2463 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2464 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2465 rather than in script.
2467 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2469 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2471 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2472 macro defined on Solaris.
2474 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2476 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2477 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2479 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2480 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2481 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2482 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2485 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2487 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2488 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2490 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2493 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2495 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2497 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2498 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2500 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2502 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2503 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2505 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2507 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2508 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2509 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2510 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2511 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2512 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2514 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2516 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2518 * Released nmh-0.01.
2520 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2521 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2522 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2525 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2527 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2530 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2533 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2535 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2538 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2539 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2540 script to find_program.
2542 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2544 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2545 speed up -recurse option.
2547 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2548 yet, but it compiles :-)
2550 * Changed default location for install to
2551 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2552 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2553 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2556 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2557 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2558 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
