3 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
4 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
5 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
6 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
8 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
10 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
11 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
14 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
17 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
19 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
20 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
21 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
22 should make maintainability easier.
24 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
25 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
26 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
27 whatever you know works.
29 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
31 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
32 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
33 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
35 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
36 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
37 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
38 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
40 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
41 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
42 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
44 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
45 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
46 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
47 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
48 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
50 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
51 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
52 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
53 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
54 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
55 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
56 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
57 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
60 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
61 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
62 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
64 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
67 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
70 This happens on solaris:
73 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
74 No manual entry for mts.conf.
78 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
80 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
81 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
83 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
85 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
86 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
87 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
88 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
89 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
90 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
91 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
92 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
93 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
94 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
95 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
97 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
98 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
99 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
100 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
101 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
102 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
105 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
106 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
107 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
108 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
109 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
111 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
112 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
114 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
116 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
117 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
118 to stdin, such as exmh.
120 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
121 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
122 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
125 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
127 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
128 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
129 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
130 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
131 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
132 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
133 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
135 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
137 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
138 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
140 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
142 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
143 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
145 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
147 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
150 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
151 along with any -host or -user option.
153 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
155 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
157 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
158 process was fresh in my mind.
160 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
162 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
163 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
165 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
167 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
169 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
172 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
173 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
174 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
175 part of the program's name.
177 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
178 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
181 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
183 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
184 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
185 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
186 single-character format would cause programs using this
187 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
188 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
189 when the format string was one character. This eventually
190 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
193 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
195 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
196 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
197 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
198 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
199 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
200 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
202 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
203 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
204 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
205 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
206 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
207 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
208 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
209 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
211 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
212 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
213 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
214 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
215 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
216 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
217 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
218 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
219 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
220 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
222 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
224 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
225 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
227 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
228 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
230 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
235 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
237 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
238 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
239 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
240 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
242 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
243 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
244 problem in the routine.
246 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
248 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
249 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
251 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
252 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
253 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
256 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
258 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
259 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
260 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
261 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
262 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
263 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
264 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
265 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
266 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
267 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
269 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
271 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
272 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
273 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
274 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
275 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
276 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
277 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
278 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
279 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
280 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
281 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
282 interesting than a duplication of the default.
284 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
285 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
286 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
287 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
288 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
290 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
293 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
295 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
296 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
297 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
298 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
301 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
303 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
305 * Applied, after some finessing,
306 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
308 Here's a patch that allows you to add
310 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
312 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
313 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
314 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
315 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
317 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
319 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
320 forgetting to do so!).
322 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
323 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
324 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
325 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
326 arguments to enable all three types.
328 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
329 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
331 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
332 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
333 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
334 updated copy of mts.conf.
336 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
338 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
339 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
340 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
342 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
344 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
346 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
347 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
348 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
350 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
351 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
352 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
354 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
355 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
356 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
358 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
360 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
362 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
364 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
366 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
367 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
369 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
370 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
371 certain suffix to run properly.
373 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
374 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
375 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
377 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
378 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
379 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
380 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
381 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
382 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
383 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
385 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
387 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
388 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
389 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
390 until some year far in the future).
392 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
394 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
396 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
397 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
399 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
400 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
403 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
405 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
406 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
407 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
408 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
409 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
410 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
412 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
414 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
416 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
417 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
418 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
420 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
421 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
422 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
423 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
424 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
425 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
428 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
429 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
430 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
431 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
432 of masquerading individually.
434 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
435 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
436 GECOS field delimiters.
438 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
440 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
441 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
442 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
443 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
444 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
445 and explaining the feature.
447 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
449 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
450 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
453 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
454 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
455 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
457 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
458 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
459 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
460 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
462 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
463 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
464 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
467 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
469 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
472 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
474 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
476 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
477 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
478 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
479 quotes embedded in them.
481 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
483 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
484 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
485 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
486 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
487 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
488 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
489 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
492 The other theory is that because you can say something like
493 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
494 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
495 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
496 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
498 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
500 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
502 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
503 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
504 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
505 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
507 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
510 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
512 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
514 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
516 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
517 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
518 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
520 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
523 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
525 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
526 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
527 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
528 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
529 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
530 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
532 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
533 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
535 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
537 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
540 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
542 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
543 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
544 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
547 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
548 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
549 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
550 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
551 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
552 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
553 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
554 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
555 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
556 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
557 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
558 processing that post has).
560 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
562 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
563 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
564 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
565 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
566 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
567 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
570 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
572 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
574 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
576 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
578 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
579 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
581 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
584 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
586 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
587 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
588 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
591 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
593 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
594 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
595 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
596 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
597 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
598 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
600 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
602 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
604 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
606 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
607 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
608 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
609 caught again. This works for now.
611 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
613 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
615 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
616 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
618 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
620 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
621 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
623 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
625 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
627 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
629 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
630 changes. Both need more cleanup.
632 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
634 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
635 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
636 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
637 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
638 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
641 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
643 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
644 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
645 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
647 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
648 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
651 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
653 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
654 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
655 to a directory on another device with more free space.
657 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
659 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
660 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
662 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
664 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
667 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
668 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
670 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
671 macros, regardless of platform.
673 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
674 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
676 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
677 with x-conversions=gzip.
679 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
681 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
684 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
685 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
686 implicit definition of ioctl().
688 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
689 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
690 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
691 want to mess with them.
693 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
695 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
696 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
698 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
699 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
701 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
702 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
703 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
705 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
706 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
707 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
709 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
712 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
715 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
716 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
719 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
720 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
723 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
724 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
728 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
730 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
731 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
732 preventing compilation on at least linux.
734 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
735 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
737 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
739 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
741 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
742 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
743 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
744 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
746 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
747 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
749 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
751 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
753 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
755 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
756 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
758 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
760 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
761 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
763 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
764 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
765 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
766 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
768 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
769 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
771 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
773 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
774 substitute it for mktemp if available.
776 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
778 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
779 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
782 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
784 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
786 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
788 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
789 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
791 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
792 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
793 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
795 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
796 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
797 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
799 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
800 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
801 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
803 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
804 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
807 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
808 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
810 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
811 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
813 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
816 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
817 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
818 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
820 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
821 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
823 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
824 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
825 <elleron@servtech.com>.
827 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
828 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
831 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
832 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
834 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
835 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
836 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
837 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
839 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
840 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
842 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
846 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
847 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
848 would not be changed.
850 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
851 one from the Apache web server.
853 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
854 (this should have been done a long time ago).
856 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
857 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
858 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
860 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
862 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
864 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
865 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
868 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
869 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
870 removes a bad race condition.
872 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
875 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
876 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
877 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
879 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
880 sequence information.
882 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
883 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
885 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
888 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
891 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
893 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
894 interpret 034 as octal.
896 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
898 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
899 mhstore, and mhbuild.
901 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
902 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
904 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
905 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
907 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
908 in the c_cefile structure when building.
910 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
911 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
913 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
914 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
915 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
917 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
918 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
919 and mhshow. Updated man pages
921 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
923 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
925 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
926 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
929 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
931 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
932 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
934 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
935 header field information.
937 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
938 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
940 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
941 values when parsing a content.
943 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
944 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
946 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
947 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
949 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
950 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
952 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
953 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
955 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
957 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
959 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
961 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
963 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
964 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
967 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
968 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
970 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
971 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
972 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
973 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
974 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
975 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
978 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
980 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
981 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
982 buffer length checks for this parameter.
984 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
985 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
987 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
989 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
990 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
991 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
992 of the limits on the length of command lines.
994 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
995 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
998 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
999 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1000 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1001 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1004 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1006 * Released nmh-0.27.
1008 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1009 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1011 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1012 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1013 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1014 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1017 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1018 mhbuild returns an error.
1020 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1021 rename the draft file.
1023 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1024 use a global variable.
1026 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1027 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1029 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1030 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1032 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1033 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1034 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1036 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1037 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1039 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1040 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1043 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1044 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1047 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1048 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1050 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1051 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1052 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1054 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1055 to new function output_content_folder.
1057 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1058 new function output_content_file.
1060 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1061 to new function parse_format_string.
1063 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1064 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1065 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1066 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1068 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1069 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1070 message/external file from ftp.
1072 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1073 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1074 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1076 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1077 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1080 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1083 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1084 new file mhstoresbr.c
1086 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1089 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1090 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1092 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1093 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1095 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1096 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1097 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1099 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1101 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1103 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1104 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1107 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1108 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1110 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1113 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1115 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1117 * Released nmh-0.26.
1119 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1120 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1121 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1122 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1124 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1125 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1126 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1127 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1128 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1130 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1131 But it is not on by default.
1133 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1134 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1136 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1138 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1140 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1142 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1144 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1145 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1147 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1149 * Released nmh-0.25.
1151 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1152 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1153 uses the original name of the library.
1155 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1156 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1159 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1160 list_content and list_debug.
1162 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1164 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1165 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.

1169 * Released nmh-0.24.
1171 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1173 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1174 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1176 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1177 large sequence line.
1179 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1181 * Released nmh-0.23.
1183 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1185 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1186 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1187 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1188 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1190 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1191 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1194 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1196 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1198 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1200 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1201 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1203 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1204 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1206 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1207 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1209 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1210 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1212 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1214 * Released nmh-0.22.
1216 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1217 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1219 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1221 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1222 mh-profile(5) man page.
1224 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1225 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1227 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1229 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1231 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1232 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1234 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1236 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1237 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1238 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1240 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1241 source message on the standard input.
1243 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1245 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1246 rather than -rfc934mode.
1248 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1249 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1252 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1253 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1255 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1258 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1260 * Released nmh-0.21.
1262 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1263 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1265 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1268 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1269 to use for text contents.
1271 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1273 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1275 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1277 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1279 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1280 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1282 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1283 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1284 spaces between encoded word are.
1286 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1288 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1289 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1291 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1292 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1293 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1295 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1297 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1298 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1300 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1302 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1304 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1305 ISO-8859-X character set.
1307 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1310 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1311 permissions, not write permissions.
1313 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1314 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1316 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1319 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1321 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1323 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1324 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1326 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1327 message contains valid character set.
1329 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1330 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1332 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1333 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1335 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1336 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1337 between an encoded word and normal text.
1339 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1340 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1342 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1343 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1345 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1348 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1349 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1352 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1353 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1355 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1356 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1358 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1360 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1362 * Released nmh-0.20.
1364 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1366 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1368 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1369 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1370 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1372 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1373 and the To: line was missing.
1375 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1377 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1379 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1381 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1382 watch the POP transaction.
1384 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1385 first, and use it if available.
1387 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1388 first, and use it if available.
1390 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1392 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1394 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1395 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1396 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1399 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1400 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1401 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1403 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1404 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1407 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1409 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1410 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1412 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1414 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1415 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1417 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1418 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1419 message to which you are replying.
1421 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1422 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1423 making group replies.
1425 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1427 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1429 * Released nmh-0.19.
1431 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1432 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1434 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1435 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1436 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1437 to the end of the man page.
1439 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1440 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1441 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1442 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1443 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1444 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1446 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1449 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1450 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1451 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1453 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1454 the next available number above the message number you wish
1457 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1458 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1460 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1461 file sbr/seq_print.c
1463 * flist will now update the current folder.
1465 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1466 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1467 but now undocumented.
1469 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1472 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1473 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1475 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1477 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1478 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1480 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1482 * Released nmh-0.18.
1484 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1485 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1486 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1488 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1489 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1491 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1492 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1493 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1494 previous public/private status.
1496 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1499 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1502 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1503 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1504 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1506 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1507 take option to determine whether it should get current
1508 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1509 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1511 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1513 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1514 wait for stopped processes.
1516 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1517 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1519 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1521 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1523 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1524 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1526 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1527 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1529 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1530 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1531 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1532 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1534 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1537 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1540 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1542 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1543 the debugging output.
1545 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1546 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1548 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1550 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1552 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1553 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1555 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1557 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1558 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1559 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1560 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1561 in the given sequence.
1563 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1564 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1565 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1566 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1567 subdirectories of a given directory.
1569 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1570 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1571 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1573 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1574 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1576 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1578 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1581 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1582 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1583 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1585 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1586 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1587 are calculated at runtime.
1589 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1591 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1593 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1594 about checking for global mh.profile.
1596 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1597 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1598 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1599 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1600 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1601 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1603 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1604 adding message to folder itself.
1606 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1607 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1608 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1611 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1612 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1615 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1616 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1617 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1619 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1620 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1622 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1623 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1624 code to use it yet).
1626 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1628 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1630 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1631 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1633 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1634 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1636 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1638 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1641 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1643 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1645 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1647 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1649 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1650 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1652 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1654 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1656 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1658 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1660 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1662 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1663 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1665 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1666 configuration files.
1668 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1670 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1672 * Released nmh-0.17.
1674 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1676 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1677 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1679 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1682 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1683 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1685 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1686 number of refiled message.
1688 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1690 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1691 for return value of wait().
1693 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1695 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1697 * Released nmh-0.16.
1699 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1701 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1703 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1704 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1705 deal with binary messages, yet).
1707 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1709 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1711 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1712 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1713 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1714 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1715 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1716 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1718 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1719 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1721 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1722 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1724 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1725 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1728 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1730 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1732 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1733 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1736 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1739 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1741 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1742 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1743 which used unsigned chars by default.
1745 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747 * Released nmh-0.15.
1749 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1750 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1752 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1754 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1756 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1759 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1760 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1761 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1763 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1764 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1766 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1768 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1769 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1771 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1772 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1773 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1774 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1776 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1777 and put in own subroutine.
1779 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1780 and put in own subroutine.
1782 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1783 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1784 refile.c to use new routine.
1786 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1932 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1934 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1935 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1937 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2033 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2034 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2037 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2040 can still easily change this in config.h).
2042 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2043 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2044 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2046 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2063 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2065 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2066 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2069 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2070 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2083 * Released nmh-0.06.
2085 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2086 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2088 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2089 many such machines around anymore.
2091 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2092 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2094 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2095 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2097 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2100 pre-generated version if necessary.
2102 * Released nmh-0.05.
2104 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2105 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2106 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2107 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2109 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2110 be linked in one pass.
2112 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2114 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2115 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2117 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2119 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2121 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2123 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2124 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2125 become the current folder.
2127 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2129 * Released nmh-0.04.

2136 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2137 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2138 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2140 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2142 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2143 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2145 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2147 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2148 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2151 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2152 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2154 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2156 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2157 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2158 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2159 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2160 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2161 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2163 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2165 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2166 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2168 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2169 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2171 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2173 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2174 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2176 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2178 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2179 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2180 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2182 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2184 * Released nmh-0.03.
2186 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2187 .mh_sequence file existed.
2189 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2190 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2192 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2193 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2196 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2198 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2201 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2204 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2205 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2207 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2209 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2210 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2211 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2213 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2215 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2216 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2218 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2220 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2222 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2223 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2224 directory from where the source code is located.
2226 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2228 * Released nmh-0.02.

2248 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2249 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2250 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2251 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2252 rather than in script.
2254 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2256 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2258 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2263 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2264 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2266 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2267 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2268 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2269 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop

2289 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2290 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2292 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2294 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2295 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2296 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2297 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2298 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2299 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2301 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2303 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2305 * Released nmh-0.01.

2312 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2314 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2317 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2319 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2320 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2322 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2324 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2325 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2326 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2327 script to find_program.
2329 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2331 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2332 speed up -recurse option.
2334 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2335 yet, but it compiles :-)
2337 * Changed default location for install to
2338 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2339 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2340 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2343 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2344 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2345 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
