1 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
4 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
7 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
10 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
12 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
13 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
14 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
15 should make maintainability easier.
17 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
18 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
19 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
20 whatever you know works.
22 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
24 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
25 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
26 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
28 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
29 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
30 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
31 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
33 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
34 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
35 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
37 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
38 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
39 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
40 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
41 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
43 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
44 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
45 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
46 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
47 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
48 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
49 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
50 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
53 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
54 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
55 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
57 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
60 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
63 This happens on solaris:
66 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
67 No manual entry for mts.conf.
71 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
73 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
74 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
76 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
78 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
79 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
80 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
81 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
82 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
83 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
84 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
85 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
86 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
87 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
88 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
90 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
91 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
92 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
93 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
94 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
95 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
98 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
99 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
100 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
101 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
102 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
104 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
105 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
107 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
109 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
110 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
111 to stdin, such as exmh.
113 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
114 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
115 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
118 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
120 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
121 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
122 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
123 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
124 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
125 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
126 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
128 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
130 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
131 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
133 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
135 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
136 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
138 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
140 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
143 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
144 along with any -host or -user option.
146 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
148 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
150 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
151 process was fresh in my mind.
153 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
155 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
156 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
158 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
160 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
162 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
165 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
166 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
167 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
168 part of the program's name.
170 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
171 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
174 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
176 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
177 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
178 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
179 single-character format would cause programs using this
180 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
181 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
182 when the format string was one character. This eventually
183 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
186 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
188 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
189 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
190 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
191 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
192 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
193 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
195 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
196 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
197 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
198 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
199 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
200 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
201 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
202 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
204 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
205 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
206 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
207 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
208 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
209 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
210 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
211 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
212 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
213 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
215 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
217 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
218 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
220 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
221 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
223 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
228 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
230 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
231 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
232 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
233 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
235 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
236 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
237 problem in the routine.
239 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
241 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
242 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
244 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
245 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
246 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
249 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
251 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
252 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
253 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
254 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
255 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
256 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
257 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
258 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
259 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
260 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
262 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
264 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
265 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
266 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
267 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
268 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
269 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
270 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
271 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
272 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
273 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
274 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
275 interesting than a duplication of the default.
277 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
278 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
279 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
280 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
281 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
283 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
286 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
288 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
289 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
290 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
291 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
294 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
296 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
298 * Applied, after some finessing,
299 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
301 Here's a patch that allows you to add
303 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
305 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
306 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
307 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
308 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
310 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
312 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
313 forgetting to do so!).
315 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
316 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
317 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
318 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
319 arguments to enable all three types.
321 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
322 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
324 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
325 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
326 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
327 updated copy of mts.conf.
329 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
331 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
332 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
333 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
335 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
337 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
339 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
340 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
341 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
343 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
344 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
345 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
347 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
348 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
349 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
351 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
353 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
355 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
357 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
359 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
360 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
362 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
363 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
364 certain suffix to run properly.
366 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
367 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
368 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
370 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
371 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
372 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
373 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
374 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
375 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
376 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
378 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
380 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
381 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
382 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
383 until some year far in the future).
385 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
387 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
389 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
390 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
392 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
393 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
396 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
398 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
399 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
400 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
401 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
402 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
403 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
405 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
407 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
409 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
410 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
411 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
413 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
414 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
415 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
416 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
417 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
418 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
421 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
422 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
423 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
424 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
425 of masquerading individually.
427 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
428 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
429 GECOS field delimiters.
431 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
433 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
434 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
435 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
436 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
437 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
438 and explaining the feature.
440 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
442 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
443 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
446 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
447 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
448 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
450 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
451 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
452 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
453 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
455 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
456 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
457 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
460 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
462 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
465 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
467 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
469 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
470 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
471 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
472 quotes embedded in them.
474 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
476 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
477 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
478 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
479 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
480 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
481 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
482 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
485 The other theory is that because you can say something like
486 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
487 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
488 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
489 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
491 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
493 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
495 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
496 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
497 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
498 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
500 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
503 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
505 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
507 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
509 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
510 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
511 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
513 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
516 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
518 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
519 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
520 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
521 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
522 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
523 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
525 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
526 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
528 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
530 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
533 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
535 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
536 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
537 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
540 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
541 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
542 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
543 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
544 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
545 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
546 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
547 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
548 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
549 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
550 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
551 processing that post has).
553 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
555 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
556 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
557 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
558 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
559 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
560 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
563 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
565 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
567 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
569 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
571 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
572 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
574 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
577 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
579 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
580 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
581 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
584 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
586 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
587 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
588 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
589 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
590 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
591 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
593 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
595 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
597 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
599 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
600 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
601 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
602 caught again. This works for now.
604 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
606 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
608 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
609 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
611 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
613 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
614 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
616 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
618 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
620 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
622 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
623 changes. Both need more cleanup.
625 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
627 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
628 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
629 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
630 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
631 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
634 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
636 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
637 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
638 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
640 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
641 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
644 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
646 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
647 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
648 to a directory on another device with more free space.
650 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
652 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
653 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
655 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
657 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
660 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
661 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
663 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
664 macros, regardless of platform.
666 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
667 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
669 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
670 with x-conversions=gzip.
672 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
674 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
677 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
678 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
679 implicit definition of ioctl().
681 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
682 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
683 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
684 want to mess with them.
686 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
688 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
689 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
691 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
692 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
694 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
695 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
696 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
698 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
699 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
700 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
702 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
705 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
708 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
709 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
712 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
713 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
716 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
717 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
721 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
723 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
724 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
725 preventing compilation on at least linux.
727 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
728 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
730 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
732 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
734 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
735 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
736 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
737 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
739 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
740 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
742 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
744 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
746 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
748 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
749 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
751 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
753 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
754 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
756 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
757 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
758 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
759 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
761 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
762 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
764 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
766 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
767 substitute it for mktemp if available.
769 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
771 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
772 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
775 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
777 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
779 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
781 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
782 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
784 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
785 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
786 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
788 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
789 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
790 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
792 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
793 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
794 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
796 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
797 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
800 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
801 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
803 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
804 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
806 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
809 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
810 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
811 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
813 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
814 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
816 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
817 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
818 <elleron@servtech.com>.
820 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
821 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
824 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
825 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
827 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
828 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
829 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
830 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
832 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
833 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
835 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
839 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
840 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
841 would not be changed.
843 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
844 one from the Apache web server.
846 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
847 (this should have been done a long time ago).
849 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
850 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
851 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
853 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
855 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
857 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
858 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
861 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
862 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
863 removes a bad race condition.
865 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
868 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
869 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
870 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
872 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
873 sequence information.
875 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
876 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
878 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
881 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
884 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
886 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
887 interpret 034 as octal.
889 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
891 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
892 mhstore, and mhbuild.
894 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
895 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
897 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
898 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
900 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
901 in the c_cefile structure when building.
903 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
904 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
906 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
907 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
908 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
910 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
911 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
912 and mhshow. Updated man pages
914 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
916 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
918 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
919 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
922 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
924 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
925 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
927 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
928 header field information.
930 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
931 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
933 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
934 values when parsing a content.
936 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
937 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
939 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
940 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
942 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
943 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
945 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
946 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
948 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
950 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
952 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
954 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
956 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
957 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
960 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
961 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
963 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
964 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
965 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
966 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
967 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
968 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
971 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
973 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
974 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
975 buffer length checks for this parameter.
977 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
978 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
980 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
982 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
983 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
984 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
985 of the limits on the length of command lines.
987 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
988 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
991 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
992 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
993 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
994 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
997 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1001 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1002 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1004 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1005 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1006 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1007 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1010 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1011 mhbuild returns an error.
1013 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1014 rename the draft file.
1016 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1017 use a global variable.
1019 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1020 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1022 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1023 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1025 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1026 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1027 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1029 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1030 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1032 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1033 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1036 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1037 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1040 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1041 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1043 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1044 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1045 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1047 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1048 to new function output_content_folder.
1050 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1051 new function output_content_file.
1053 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1054 to new function parse_format_string.
1056 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1057 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1058 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1059 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1061 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1062 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1063 message/external file from ftp.
1065 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1066 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1067 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1069 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1070 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1073 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1076 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1077 new file mhstoresbr.c
1079 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1082 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1083 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1085 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1086 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1088 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1089 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1090 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1092 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1094 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1096 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1097 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1100 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1101 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1103 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1106 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1108 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1110 * Released nmh-0.26.
1112 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1113 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1114 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1115 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1117 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1118 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1119 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1120 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1121 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1123 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1124 But it is not on by default.
1126 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1127 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1129 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1131 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1133 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1135 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1137 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1138 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1140 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1142 * Released nmh-0.25.
1144 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1145 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1146 uses the original name of the library.
1148 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1149 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1152 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1153 list_content and list_debug.
1155 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1157 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1158 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1160 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1162 * Released nmh-0.24.
1164 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1166 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1167 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1169 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1170 large sequence line.
1172 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1174 * Released nmh-0.23.
1176 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1178 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1179 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1180 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1181 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1183 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1184 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1187 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1189 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1191 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1193 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1194 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1196 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1197 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1199 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1200 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1202 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1203 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1205 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1207 * Released nmh-0.22.
1209 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1210 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1212 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1214 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1215 mh-profile(5) man page.
1217 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1218 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1220 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1222 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1224 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1225 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1227 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1229 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1230 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1231 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1233 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1234 source message on the standard input.
1236 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1238 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1239 rather than -rfc934mode.
1241 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1242 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1245 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1246 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1248 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1251 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1253 * Released nmh-0.21.
1255 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1256 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1258 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1261 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1262 to use for text contents.
1264 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1266 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1268 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1270 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1272 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1273 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1275 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1276 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1277 spaces between encoded word are.
1279 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1281 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1282 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1284 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1285 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1286 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1288 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1290 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1291 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1293 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1295 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1297 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1298 ISO-8859-X character set.
1300 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1303 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1304 permissions, not write permissions.
1306 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1307 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1309 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1312 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1314 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1316 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1317 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1319 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1320 message contains valid character set.
1322 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1323 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1325 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1326 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1328 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1329 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1330 between an encoded word and normal text.
1332 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1333 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1335 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1336 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1338 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1341 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1342 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1345 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1346 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1348 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1349 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1351 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1353 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1355 * Released nmh-0.20.
1357 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1359 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1361 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1362 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1363 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1365 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1366 and the To: line was missing.
1368 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1370 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1372 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1374 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1375 watch the POP transaction.
1377 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1378 first, and use it if available.
1380 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1381 first, and use it if available.
1383 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1385 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1387 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1388 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1389 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1392 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1393 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1394 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1396 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1397 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1400 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1402 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1403 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1405 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1407 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1408 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1410 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1411 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1412 message to which you are replying.
1414 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1415 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1416 making group replies.
1418 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1420 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1422 * Released nmh-0.19.
1424 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1425 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1427 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1428 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1429 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1430 to the end of the man page.
1432 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1433 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1434 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1435 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1436 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1437 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1439 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1442 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1443 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1444 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1446 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1447 the next available number above the message number you wish
1450 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1451 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1453 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1454 file sbr/seq_print.c
1456 * flist will now update the current folder.
1458 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1459 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1460 but now undocumented.
1462 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1465 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1466 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1468 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1470 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1471 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1473 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1475 * Released nmh-0.18.
1477 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1478 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1479 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1481 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1482 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1484 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1485 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1486 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1487 previous public/private status.
1489 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1492 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1495 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1496 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1497 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1499 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1500 take option to determine whether it should get current
1501 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1502 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1504 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1506 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1507 wait for stopped processes.
1509 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1510 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1512 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1514 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1516 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1517 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1519 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1520 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1522 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1523 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1524 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1525 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1527 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1530 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1533 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1535 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1536 the debugging output.
1538 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1539 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1541 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1543 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1545 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1546 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1548 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1550 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1551 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1552 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1553 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1554 in the given sequence.
1556 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1557 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1558 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1559 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1560 subdirectories of a given directory.
1562 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1563 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1564 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1566 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1567 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1569 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1571 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1574 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1575 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1576 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1578 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1579 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1580 are calculated at runtime.
1582 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1584 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1586 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1587 about checking for global mh.profile.
1589 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1590 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1591 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1592 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1593 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1594 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1596 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1597 adding message to folder itself.
1599 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1600 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1601 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1604 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1605 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1608 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1609 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1610 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1612 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1613 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1615 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1616 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1617 code to use it yet).
1619 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1621 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1623 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1624 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1626 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1627 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1629 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1631 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1634 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1636 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1638 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1640 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1642 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1643 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1645 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1647 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1649 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1651 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1653 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1655 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1656 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1658 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1659 configuration files.
1661 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1663 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1665 * Released nmh-0.17.
1667 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1669 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1670 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1672 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1675 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1676 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1678 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1679 number of refiled message.
1681 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1683 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1684 for return value of wait().
1686 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1688 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1690 * Released nmh-0.16.
1692 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1694 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1696 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1697 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1698 deal with binary messages, yet).
1700 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1702 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1704 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1705 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1706 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1707 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1708 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1709 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1711 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1712 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1714 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1715 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1717 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1718 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1721 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1723 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1725 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1726 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1729 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1732 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1734 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1735 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1736 which used unsigned chars by default.
1738 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1740 * Released nmh-0.15.
1742 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1743 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1745 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1747 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1749 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1752 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1753 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1754 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1756 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1757 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1759 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1761 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1762 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1764 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1765 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1766 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1767 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1769 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1770 and put in own subroutine.
1772 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1773 and put in own subroutine.
1775 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1776 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1777 refile.c to use new routine.
1779 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1781 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1783 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1786 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1787 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed

1925 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1927 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1928 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1930 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2007 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2008 rather than mmdf format.
2010 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2011 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2012 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with

2026 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2027 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2030 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2032 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2033 can still easily change this in config.h).
2035 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2036 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2037 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2039 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2056 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2058 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2059 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2062 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2063 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2076 * Released nmh-0.06.
2078 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2079 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2081 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2082 many such machines around anymore.
2084 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2085 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2087 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2088 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2090 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2093 pre-generated version if necessary.
2095 * Released nmh-0.05.
2097 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2098 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2099 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2100 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2102 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2103 be linked in one pass.
2105 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2107 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2108 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2110 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2112 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2114 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2116 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2117 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2118 become the current folder.
2120 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2122 * Released nmh-0.04.

2127 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2129 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2130 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2131 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2133 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2135 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2136 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2138 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2140 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2141 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2144 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2145 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2147 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2149 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2150 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2151 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2152 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2153 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2154 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2156 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2158 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2159 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2161 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2162 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2164 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2167 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2169 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2171 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2172 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2173 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2175 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177 * Released nmh-0.03.
2179 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2180 .mh_sequence file existed.
2182 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2183 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2185 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2186 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2189 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2191 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2194 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2196 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2197 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2198 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2200 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2202 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2203 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2204 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2206 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2209 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2211 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2213 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2215 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2216 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2217 directory from where the source code is located.
2219 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2221 * Released nmh-0.02.

2241 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2242 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2243 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2244 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2245 rather than in script.
2247 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2249 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2251 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2256 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2257 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2259 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2260 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2261 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2262 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop

2267 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2268 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2270 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2273 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2275 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2277 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2278 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2280 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2282 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2283 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2285 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2287 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2288 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2289 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2290 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2291 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2292 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2294 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2296 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2298 * Released nmh-0.01.
2300 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2301 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2302 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2305 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2307 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2310 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2312 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2313 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2315 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2317 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2318 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2319 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2320 script to find_program.
2322 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2324 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2325 speed up -recurse option.
2327 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2328 yet, but it compiles :-)
2330 * Changed default location for install to
2331 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2332 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2333 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2336 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2337 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2338 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
