1 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
3 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
4 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
6 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
8 o Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
9 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
11 o Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
12 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
15 o Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
16 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
19 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
21 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
22 vi isn't found during build.
24 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
27 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
29 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
30 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
31 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
33 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
35 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
36 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
38 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
39 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
40 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
41 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
44 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
45 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
46 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
48 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
49 entry in the context file.
51 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
53 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
54 problems on some systems
56 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
57 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
59 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
61 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
62 sendmail isn't found during build.
64 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
66 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
68 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
70 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
71 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
73 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
74 references to the web page and mailing list locations
76 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
77 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
79 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
82 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
84 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
85 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
86 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
88 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
89 was configured with --enable-apop.
91 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
92 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
93 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
95 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
98 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
99 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
100 doesn't guess wrongly.
102 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
104 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
105 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
107 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
108 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
110 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
111 files with numbers as names
113 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
115 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
117 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
119 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
121 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
122 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
124 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
126 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
129 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
130 test/report error writing to stdout
132 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
134 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
136 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
137 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
138 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
140 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
141 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
142 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
144 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
146 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
147 character set used by the current locale
149 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
150 message's filename overflows an int when converted
152 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
153 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
155 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
157 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
160 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
162 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
163 from Michael Richardson.
165 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
166 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
168 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
170 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
171 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
173 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
175 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
176 find sub-parts of the specified part
178 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
180 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
181 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
182 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
183 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
184 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
185 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
186 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
189 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
191 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
192 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
193 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
196 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
197 refiling with -src option.
199 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
201 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
203 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
205 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
206 mailpath being overwritten.
208 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
210 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
211 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
212 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
213 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
214 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
215 reinitializes the tmp file string.
217 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
218 if a format string was read from the profile.
220 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
221 path for the external hook.
223 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
225 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
226 another location for ndbm.
228 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
230 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
232 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
234 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
237 136976 - Handle binary content messages
238 143427 - mh-format.man typo
239 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
240 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
241 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
242 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
243 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
244 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
245 181867 - typo for nmh.man
247 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
249 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
250 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
251 contitional code which will result in cached data to
252 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
253 and parse on the first use.
254 * Remove some unused flag bits.
256 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
258 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
259 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
261 #578 - repl leaks umask
262 #1393 - sortm core dumps
263 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
264 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
265 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
267 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
268 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
270 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
272 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
273 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
275 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
277 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
278 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
279 to docs/README.about.
281 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
283 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
285 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
286 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
287 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
288 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
291 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
293 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
294 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
295 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
296 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
297 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
298 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
301 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
302 summary configure prints out.
304 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
305 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
306 subjectively more readable) format.
308 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
310 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
313 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
316 19xx when it's not necessary.
318 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
320 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
321 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
324 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
325 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
326 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
327 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
328 the man pages correctly.
330 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
332 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
334 * Finished manpages ali-prev
336 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
337 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
338 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
341 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
342 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
343 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
344 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
346 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
348 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
349 the formatting rules I've been using.
353 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
355 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
356 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
357 used in the manpages.
359 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
360 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
361 read in the contents of the file as the variable
364 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
365 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
366 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
367 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
368 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
369 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
370 bold flags and italicized parameters.
372 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
374 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
375 --with-locking option.
377 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
378 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
379 information was not being communicated to the
380 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
381 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
382 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
383 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
384 undefined symbols problems.
386 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
387 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
388 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
389 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
390 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
391 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
392 for a genuine krb4 installation.
394 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
396 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
397 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
399 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
401 * Made a new ./configure option called
402 "--with-locking" that allows the file
403 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
404 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
406 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
407 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
408 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
409 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
410 the user that these are the valid options, and
411 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
414 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
416 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
417 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
418 committed to supporting flex only, since
419 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
420 string, as well as other problems documented
421 below and on nmh-workers.
423 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
424 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
425 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
428 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
429 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
431 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
433 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
434 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
435 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
437 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
439 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
440 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
442 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
444 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
445 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
446 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
447 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
448 couldn't correctly identify them.
450 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
452 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
453 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
454 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
455 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
456 not depending on an external archive.
458 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
459 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
460 mts/generic is no longer built.
462 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
464 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
465 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
466 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
467 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
468 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
469 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
470 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
471 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
473 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
475 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
476 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
479 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
481 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
482 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
483 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
486 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
487 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
488 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
489 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
491 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
492 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
493 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
494 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
495 merged into the smtp code).
497 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
498 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
499 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
502 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
503 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
504 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
505 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
506 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
507 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
508 in the appropriate Makefile.in
510 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
512 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
513 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
514 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
515 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
516 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
517 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
518 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
519 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
520 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
521 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
522 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
524 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
526 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
527 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
528 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
529 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
530 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
531 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
532 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
533 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
534 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
536 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
538 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
539 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
542 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
544 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
545 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
547 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
549 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
550 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
551 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
552 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
554 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
556 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
557 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
558 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
559 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
560 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
562 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
563 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
565 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
567 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
569 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
570 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
571 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
572 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
574 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
575 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
576 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
577 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
579 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
580 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
581 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
582 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
584 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
585 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
586 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
588 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
590 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
591 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
592 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
593 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
594 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
595 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
598 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
599 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
601 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
602 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
604 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
606 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
608 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
610 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
611 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
612 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
613 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
615 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
617 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
618 be easily changed from "," to "#".
620 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
622 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
624 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
625 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
628 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
630 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
631 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
632 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
633 but not for the subsequent data stream.
635 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
637 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
638 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
639 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
640 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
641 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
643 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
645 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
646 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
648 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
649 cat, also define lorder as echo.
651 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
653 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
655 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
656 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
657 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
659 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
661 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
664 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
665 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
667 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
669 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
670 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
672 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
674 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
675 inc does not need to be setgid.
677 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
679 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
680 library, as found on Debian systems.
682 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
684 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
686 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
687 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
688 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
689 case-insensitivity flag.
691 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
693 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
694 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
696 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
698 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
699 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
700 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
701 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
702 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
703 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
704 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
705 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
706 getting moved aside).
708 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
709 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
711 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
713 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
714 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
715 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
716 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
717 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
718 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
719 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
720 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
721 the prototype, but never sets it.
723 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
724 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
725 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
726 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
727 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
728 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
730 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
731 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
732 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
733 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
734 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
736 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
738 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
739 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
742 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
743 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
744 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
745 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
746 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
747 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
748 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
750 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
752 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
754 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
755 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
756 this works on other systems.
758 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
760 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
761 checks for write failures.
763 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
765 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
767 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
770 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
772 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
774 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
776 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
777 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
780 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
782 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
783 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
784 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
785 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
787 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
789 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
790 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
793 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
794 as well as Makefiles.
796 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
798 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
799 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
800 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
801 should make maintainability easier.
803 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
804 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
805 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
806 whatever you know works.
808 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
810 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
811 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
812 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
814 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
815 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
816 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
817 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
819 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
820 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
821 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
823 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
824 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
825 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
826 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
827 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
829 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
830 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
831 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
832 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
833 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
834 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
835 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
836 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
837 from the BSD version.
839 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
840 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
841 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
843 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
846 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
849 This happens on solaris:
852 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
853 No manual entry for mts.conf.
857 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
859 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
860 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
862 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
864 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
865 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
866 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
867 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
868 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
869 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
870 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
871 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
872 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
873 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
874 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
876 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
877 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
878 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
879 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
880 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
881 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
884 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
885 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
886 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
887 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
888 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
890 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
891 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
893 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
895 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
896 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
897 to stdin, such as exmh.
899 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
900 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
901 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
904 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
906 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
907 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
908 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
909 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
910 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
911 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
912 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
914 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
916 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
917 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
919 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
921 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
922 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
924 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
926 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
929 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
930 along with any -host or -user option.
932 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
934 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
936 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
937 process was fresh in my mind.
939 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
941 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
942 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
944 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
946 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
951 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
952 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
953 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
954 part of the program's name.
956 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
957 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
960 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
962 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
963 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
964 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
965 single-character format would cause programs using this
966 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
967 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
968 when the format string was one character. This eventually
969 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
972 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
974 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
975 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
976 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
977 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
978 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
979 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
981 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
982 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
983 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
984 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
985 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
986 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
987 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
988 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
990 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
991 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
992 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
993 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
994 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
995 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
996 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
997 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
998 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
999 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1001 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1003 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1004 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1006 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1007 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1009 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1014 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1016 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1017 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1018 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1019 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1021 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1022 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1023 problem in the routine.
1025 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1027 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1028 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1030 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1031 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1032 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1035 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1037 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1038 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1039 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1040 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1041 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1042 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1043 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1044 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1045 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1046 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1048 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1050 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1051 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1052 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1053 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1054 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1055 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1056 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1057 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1058 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1059 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1060 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1061 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1063 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1064 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1065 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1066 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1067 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1069 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1072 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1074 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1075 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1076 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1077 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1080 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1082 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1084 * Applied, after some finessing,
1085 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1087 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1089 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1091 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1092 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1093 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1094 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1096 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1098 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1099 forgetting to do so!).
1101 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1102 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1103 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1104 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1105 arguments to enable all three types.
1107 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1108 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1110 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1111 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1112 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1113 updated copy of mts.conf.
1115 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1117 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1118 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1119 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1121 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1123 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1125 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1126 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1127 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1129 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1130 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1131 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1133 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1134 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1135 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1137 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1139 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1141 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1143 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1145 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1146 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1148 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1149 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1150 certain suffix to run properly.
1152 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1153 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1154 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1156 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1157 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1158 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1159 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1160 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1161 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1162 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1164 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1166 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1167 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1168 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1169 until some year far in the future).
1171 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1173 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1175 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1176 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1178 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1179 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1182 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1184 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1185 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1186 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1187 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1188 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1189 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1191 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1193 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1195 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1196 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1197 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1199 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1200 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1201 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1202 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1203 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1204 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1207 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1208 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1209 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1210 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1211 of masquerading individually.
1213 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1214 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1215 GECOS field delimiters.
1217 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1219 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1220 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1221 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1222 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1223 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1224 and explaining the feature.
1226 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1228 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1229 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1232 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1233 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1234 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1236 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1237 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1238 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1239 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1241 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1242 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1243 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1246 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1248 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1249 code to be executed.
1251 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1253 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1255 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1256 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1257 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1258 quotes embedded in them.
1260 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1262 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1263 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1264 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1265 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1266 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1267 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1268 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1271 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1272 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1273 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1274 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1275 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1277 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1279 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1281 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1282 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1283 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1284 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1286 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1289 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1291 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1293 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1295 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1296 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1297 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1299 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1302 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1304 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1305 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1306 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1307 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1308 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1309 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1311 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1312 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1314 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1319 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1322 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1323 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1326 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1327 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1328 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1329 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1330 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1331 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1332 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1333 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1334 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1335 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1336 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1337 processing that post has).
1339 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1341 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1342 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1343 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1344 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1345 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1346 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1349 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1351 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1353 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1355 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1357 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1358 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1360 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1363 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1365 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1366 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1367 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1370 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1372 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1373 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1374 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1375 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1376 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1377 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1379 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1381 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1383 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1385 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1386 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1387 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1388 caught again. This works for now.
1390 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1392 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1394 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1395 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1397 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1399 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1400 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1402 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1404 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1406 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1408 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1409 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1411 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1413 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1414 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1415 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1416 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1417 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1420 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1422 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1423 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1424 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1426 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1427 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1430 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1432 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1433 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1434 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1436 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1438 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1439 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1441 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1443 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1446 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1447 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1449 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1450 macros, regardless of platform.
1452 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1453 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1455 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1456 with x-conversions=gzip.
1458 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1460 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1463 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1464 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1465 implicit definition of ioctl().
1467 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1468 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1469 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1470 want to mess with them.
1472 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1474 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1475 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1477 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1478 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1480 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1481 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1482 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1484 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1485 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1486 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1488 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1489 function initgroups.
1491 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1494 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1495 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1498 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1499 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1502 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1503 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1507 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1509 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1510 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1511 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1513 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1514 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1516 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1518 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1520 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1521 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1522 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1523 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1525 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1526 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1528 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1530 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1532 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1534 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1535 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1537 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1540 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1542 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1543 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1544 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1545 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1547 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1548 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1550 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1552 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1553 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1555 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1557 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1558 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1561 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1563 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1565 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1567 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1568 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1570 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1571 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1572 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1574 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1575 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1576 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1578 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1579 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1580 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1582 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1583 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1586 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1587 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1589 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1590 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1592 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1593 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1595 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1596 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1597 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1599 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1600 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1602 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1603 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1604 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1606 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1607 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1610 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1611 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1613 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1614 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1615 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1616 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1618 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1619 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1621 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1625 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1626 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1627 would not be changed.
1629 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1630 one from the Apache web server.
1632 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1633 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1635 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1636 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1637 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1639 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1641 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1643 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1644 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1647 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1648 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1649 removes a bad race condition.
1651 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1654 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1655 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1656 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1658 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1659 sequence information.
1661 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1662 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1664 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1667 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1670 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1672 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1673 interpret 034 as octal.
1675 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1677 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1678 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1680 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1681 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1683 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1684 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1686 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1687 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1689 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1690 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1692 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1693 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1694 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1696 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1697 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1698 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1700 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1702 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1704 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1705 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1708 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1710 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1711 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1713 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1714 header field information.
1716 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1717 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1719 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1720 values when parsing a content.
1722 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1723 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1725 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1726 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1728 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1729 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1731 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1732 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1734 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1736 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1738 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1740 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1742 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1743 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1746 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1747 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1749 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1750 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1751 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1752 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1753 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1754 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1757 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1759 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1760 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1761 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1763 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1764 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1766 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1768 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1769 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1770 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1771 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1773 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1774 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1777 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1778 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1779 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1780 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1783 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1785 * Released nmh-0.27.
1787 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1788 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1790 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1791 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1792 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1793 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1796 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1797 mhbuild returns an error.
1799 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1800 rename the draft file.
1802 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1803 use a global variable.
1805 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1806 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1808 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1809 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1811 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1812 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1813 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1815 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1816 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1818 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1819 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1822 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1823 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1826 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1827 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1829 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1830 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1831 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1833 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1834 to new function output_content_folder.
1836 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1837 new function output_content_file.
1839 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1840 to new function parse_format_string.
1842 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1843 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1844 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1845 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1847 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1848 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1849 message/external file from ftp.
1851 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1852 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1853 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1855 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1856 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1859 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1862 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1863 new file mhstoresbr.c
1865 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1868 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1869 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1871 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1872 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1874 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1875 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1876 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1878 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1880 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1882 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1883 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1886 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1887 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1889 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1892 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1894 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1896 * Released nmh-0.26.
1898 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1899 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1900 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1901 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1903 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1904 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1905 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1906 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1907 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1909 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1910 But it is not on by default.
1912 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1913 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1915 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1917 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1919 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1921 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1923 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1924 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1926 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1928 * Released nmh-0.25.
1930 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1931 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1932 uses the original name of the library.
1934 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1935 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1938 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1939 list_content and list_debug.
1941 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1943 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1944 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1946 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1948 * Released nmh-0.24.
1950 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1952 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1953 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1955 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1956 large sequence line.
1958 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1960 * Released nmh-0.23.
1962 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1964 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1965 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1966 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1967 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1969 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1970 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1973 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1975 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1977 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1979 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1980 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1982 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1983 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1985 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1986 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1988 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1989 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1991 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1993 * Released nmh-0.22.
1995 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1996 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1998 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2000 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2001 mh-profile(5) man page.
2003 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2004 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2006 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2008 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2010 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2011 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2013 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2015 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2016 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2017 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2019 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2020 source message on the standard input.
2022 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2024 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2025 rather than -rfc934mode.
2027 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2028 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2031 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2032 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2034 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2037 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039 * Released nmh-0.21.
2041 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2042 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2044 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2047 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2048 to use for text contents.
2050 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2052 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2054 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2056 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2058 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2059 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2061 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2062 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2063 spaces between encoded word are.
2065 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2067 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2068 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2070 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2071 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2072 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2074 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2076 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2077 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2079 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2081 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2083 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2084 ISO-8859-X character set.
2086 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2089 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2090 permissions, not write permissions.
2092 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2093 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2095 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2098 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2100 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2102 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2103 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2105 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2106 message contains valid character set.
2108 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2109 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2111 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2112 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2114 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2115 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2116 between an encoded word and normal text.
2118 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2119 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2121 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2122 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2124 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2127 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2128 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2131 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2132 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2134 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2135 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2137 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2139 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2141 * Released nmh-0.20.
2143 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2145 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2147 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2148 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2149 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2151 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2152 and the To: line was missing.
2154 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2156 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2158 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2160 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2161 watch the POP transaction.
2163 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2164 first, and use it if available.
2166 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2167 first, and use it if available.
2169 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2171 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2173 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2174 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2175 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2178 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2179 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2180 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2182 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2183 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2186 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2188 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2189 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2191 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2193 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2194 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2196 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2197 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2198 message to which you are replying.
2200 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2201 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2202 making group replies.
2204 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2206 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2208 * Released nmh-0.19.
2210 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2211 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2213 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2214 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2215 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2216 to the end of the man page.
2218 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2219 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2220 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2221 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2222 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2223 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2225 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2228 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2229 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2230 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2232 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2233 the next available number above the message number you wish
2236 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2237 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2239 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2240 file sbr/seq_print.c
2242 * flist will now update the current folder.
2244 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2245 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2246 but now undocumented.
2248 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2251 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2252 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2254 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2256 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2257 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2259 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2261 * Released nmh-0.18.
2263 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2264 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2265 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2267 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2268 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2270 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2271 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2272 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2273 previous public/private status.
2275 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2278 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2281 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2282 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2283 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2285 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2286 take option to determine whether it should get current
2287 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2288 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2290 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2292 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2293 wait for stopped processes.
2295 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2296 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2298 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2300 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2302 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2303 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2305 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2306 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2308 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2309 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2310 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2311 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2313 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2316 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2319 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2321 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2322 the debugging output.
2324 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2325 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2327 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2329 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2331 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2332 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2334 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2336 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2337 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2338 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2339 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2340 in the given sequence.
2342 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2343 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2344 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2345 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2346 subdirectories of a given directory.
2348 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2349 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2350 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2352 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2353 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2355 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2357 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2360 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2361 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2362 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2364 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2365 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2366 are calculated at runtime.
2368 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2370 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2372 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2373 about checking for global mh.profile.
2375 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2376 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2377 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2378 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2379 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2380 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2382 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2383 adding message to folder itself.
2385 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2386 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2387 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2390 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2391 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2394 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2395 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2396 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2398 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2399 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2401 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2402 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2403 code to use it yet).
2405 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2407 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2409 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2410 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2412 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2413 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2415 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2417 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2420 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2422 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2424 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2426 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2428 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2429 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2433 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2435 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2437 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2439 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2441 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2442 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2444 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2445 configuration files.
2447 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2449 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2451 * Released nmh-0.17.
2453 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2455 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2456 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2458 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2461 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2462 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2464 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2465 number of refiled message.
2467 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2469 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2470 for return value of wait().
2472 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2474 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2476 * Released nmh-0.16.
2478 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2480 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2482 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2483 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2484 deal with binary messages, yet).
2486 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2488 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2490 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2491 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2492 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2493 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2494 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2495 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2497 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2498 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2500 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2501 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2503 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2504 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2507 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2509 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2511 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2512 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2515 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2518 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2520 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2521 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2522 which used unsigned chars by default.
2524 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2526 * Released nmh-0.15.
2528 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2533 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2535 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2538 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2539 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2540 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2542 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2543 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2545 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2547 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2548 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2550 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2551 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2552 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2553 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2555 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2556 and put in own subroutine.
2558 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2559 and put in own subroutine.
2561 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2562 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2563 refile.c to use new routine.
2565 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2567 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2569 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2572 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2573 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2574 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2576 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2579 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2580 adding message to sequence.
2582 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2583 corresponding file in sbr.
2585 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2588 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2590 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2591 all selected messages from a sequence.
2593 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2594 selected messages to a sequence.
2596 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2599 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2601 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2602 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2604 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2607 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2609 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2616 * Released nmh-0.14.
2618 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2619 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2621 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2623 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2624 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2625 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2626 environment variable.
2628 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2629 draft folder facility in nmh.
2631 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2634 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2643 * Released nmh-0.13.
2645 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2646 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2647 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2648 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2651 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2652 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2654 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2656 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2657 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2659 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2661 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2662 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2674 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2675 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2677 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2678 mp->attrstats with macros.
2680 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2683 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2686 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2687 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2689 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2690 will suppress the display of the message header.
2692 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2694 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2695 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2697 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2699 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2701 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2703 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2704 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2706 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2707 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2709 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2711 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2713 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2714 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2716 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2717 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2719 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2721 * Released nmh-0.10.

2728 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2731 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2733 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2734 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2736 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2737 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2739 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2741 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2742 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2744 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2751 * Released nmh-0.09.
2753 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2755 * Add configure check for killpg.
2757 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and

2767 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2769 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2771 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2772 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2774 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2777 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2779 * Released nmh-0.08.
2781 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2782 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2783 locking database itself.
2785 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2787 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2789 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2790 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2793 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2794 rather than mmdf format.
2796 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2797 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2798 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2799 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2801 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2803 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2805 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2808 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2809 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2810 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2812 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2813 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2814 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2816 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2818 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2819 can still easily change this in config.h).
2821 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2822 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2823 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2825 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2827 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2828 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2830 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2832 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2834 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2837 * Released nmh-0.07.
2839 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2841 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2842 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2844 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2845 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2848 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2849 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2851 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2852 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2854 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2856 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2858 * Added configure check for tzset.
2860 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * Released nmh-0.06.
2864 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2865 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2867 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2868 many such machines around anymore.
2870 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2871 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2873 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2874 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2876 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2878 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2879 pre-generated version if necessary.
2881 * Released nmh-0.05.
2883 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2884 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2885 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2886 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2888 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2889 be linked in one pass.
2891 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2894 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2896 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2898 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2900 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2902 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2903 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2904 become the current folder.
2906 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2908 * Released nmh-0.04.
2910 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2913 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2915 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2916 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2917 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2919 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2921 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2922 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2924 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2926 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2927 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2930 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2931 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2933 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2935 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2936 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2937 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2938 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2939 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2940 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2942 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2944 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2945 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2947 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2948 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2950 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2953 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2955 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2958 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2959 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2961 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2963 * Released nmh-0.03.
2965 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2966 .mh_sequence file existed.
2968 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2969 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2971 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2972 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2975 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2980 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2982 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2983 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2984 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2986 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2989 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2990 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2992 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2995 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2997 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2999 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3001 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3002 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3003 directory from where the source code is located.
3005 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3007 * Released nmh-0.02.
3009 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3011 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3014 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3016 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3017 and sys_nerr directly.
3019 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3021 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3023 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3025 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3027 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3028 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3029 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3030 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3031 rather than in script.
3033 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3035 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3037 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3038 macro defined on Solaris.
3040 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3042 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3043 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3045 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3046 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3047 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3048 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3051 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3054 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3056 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3059 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3061 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3063 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3064 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3066 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3069 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3071 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3074 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3075 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3076 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3077 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3078 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3080 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3082 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3084 * Released nmh-0.01.
3086 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3087 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3088 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3091 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3093 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3096 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3099 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3101 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3104 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3105 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3106 script to find_program.
3108 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3110 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3111 speed up -recurse option.
3113 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3114 yet, but it compiles :-)
3116 * Changed default location for install to
3117 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3118 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3119 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3122 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3123 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3124 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
