1 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
5 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
7 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
8 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
9 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
10 obsolete feature of autoconf
12 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
14 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
15 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
16 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
18 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
20 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
21 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
23 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
25 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
28 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
30 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
31 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
32 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
33 following done() (should never be reached).
35 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
37 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
38 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
40 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
42 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
43 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
45 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
47 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
48 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
49 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
50 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
51 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
52 acconfig.h if you must.
54 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
56 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
57 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
58 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
59 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
61 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
63 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
66 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
68 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
69 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
70 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
71 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
72 have Content-Disposition.
74 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
76 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
79 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
81 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
82 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
84 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
86 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
87 encoded block is empty
89 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
91 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
92 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
93 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
96 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
98 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
99 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
102 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
104 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
105 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
106 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
107 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
110 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
111 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
113 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
115 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
116 function num_digits into utils.c
118 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
120 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
121 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
122 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
124 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
126 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
127 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
128 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
129 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
130 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
131 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
132 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
133 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
135 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
137 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
138 Content-Disposition header.
140 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
142 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
143 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
144 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
145 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
146 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
147 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
148 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
149 users to easily accomodate that by adding
150 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
152 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
154 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
155 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
157 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
159 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
161 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
162 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
164 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
165 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
167 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
169 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
170 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
171 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
172 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
173 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
176 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
178 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
179 widths, restoring right justification feature
181 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
183 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
184 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
185 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
187 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
190 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
192 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
193 handling multi column characters.
195 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
197 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
199 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
201 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
202 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
205 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
207 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
209 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
211 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
214 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
216 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
219 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
221 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
222 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
223 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
224 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
226 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
228 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
229 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
230 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
231 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
232 where configure's autodetection fails.
234 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
236 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
237 configure script change.
239 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
241 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
242 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
243 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
246 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
248 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
249 the context is only read once.
251 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
253 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
254 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
256 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
258 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
259 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
261 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
262 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
265 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
266 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
269 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
271 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
272 vi isn't found during build.
274 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
276 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
277 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
279 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
280 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
281 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
283 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
285 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
286 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
288 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
289 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
290 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
291 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
294 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
295 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
296 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
298 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
299 entry in the context file.
301 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
303 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
304 problems on some systems
306 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
307 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
309 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
311 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
312 sendmail isn't found during build.
314 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
316 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
318 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
320 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
321 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
323 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
324 references to the web page and mailing list locations
326 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
327 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
329 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
332 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
334 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
335 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
336 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
338 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
339 was configured with --enable-apop.
341 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
342 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
343 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
345 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
346 new versions of flex.
348 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
349 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
350 doesn't guess wrongly.
352 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
354 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
355 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
357 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
358 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
360 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
361 files with numbers as names
363 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
365 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
367 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
369 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
371 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
372 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
374 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
376 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
379 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
380 test/report error writing to stdout
382 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
384 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
386 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
387 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
388 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
390 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
391 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
392 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
394 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
396 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
397 character set used by the current locale
399 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
400 message's filename overflows an int when converted
402 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
403 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
405 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
407 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
410 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
412 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
413 from Michael Richardson.
415 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
416 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
418 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
420 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
421 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
423 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
425 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
426 find sub-parts of the specified part
428 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
430 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
431 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
432 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
433 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
434 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
435 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
436 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
439 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
441 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
442 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
443 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
446 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
447 refiling with -src option.
449 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
451 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
453 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
455 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
456 mailpath being overwritten.
458 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
460 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
461 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
462 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
463 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
464 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
465 reinitializes the tmp file string.
467 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
468 if a format string was read from the profile.
470 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
471 path for the external hook.
473 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
475 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
476 another location for ndbm.
478 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
480 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
482 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
484 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
487 136976 - Handle binary content messages
488 143427 - mh-format.man typo
489 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
490 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
491 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
492 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
493 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
494 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
495 181867 - typo for nmh.man
497 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
499 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
500 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
501 contitional code which will result in cached data to
502 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
503 and parse on the first use.
504 * Remove some unused flag bits.
506 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
508 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
509 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
511 #578 - repl leaks umask
512 #1393 - sortm core dumps
513 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
514 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
515 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
517 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
518 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
520 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
522 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
523 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
525 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
527 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
528 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
529 to docs/README.about.
531 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
533 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
535 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
536 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
537 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
538 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
541 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
543 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
544 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
545 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
546 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
547 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
548 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
551 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
552 summary configure prints out.
554 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
555 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
556 subjectively more readable) format.
558 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
560 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
563 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
565 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
566 19xx when it's not necessary.
568 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
570 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
571 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
574 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
575 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
576 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
577 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
578 the man pages correctly.
580 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
582 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
584 * Finished manpages ali-prev
586 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
587 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
588 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
591 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
592 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
593 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
594 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
596 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
598 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
599 the formatting rules I've been using.
603 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
605 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
606 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
607 used in the manpages.
609 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
610 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
611 read in the contents of the file as the variable
614 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
615 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
616 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
617 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
618 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
619 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
620 bold flags and italicized parameters.
622 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
624 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
625 --with-locking option.
627 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
628 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
629 information was not being communicated to the
630 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
631 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
632 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
633 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
634 undefined symbols problems.
636 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
637 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
638 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
639 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
640 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
641 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
642 for a genuine krb4 installation.
644 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
646 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
647 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
649 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
651 * Made a new ./configure option called
652 "--with-locking" that allows the file
653 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
654 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
656 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
657 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
658 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
659 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
660 the user that these are the valid options, and
661 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
664 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
666 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
667 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
668 committed to supporting flex only, since
669 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
670 string, as well as other problems documented
671 below and on nmh-workers.
673 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
674 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
675 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
678 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
679 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
681 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
683 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
684 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
685 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
687 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
689 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
690 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
692 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
694 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
695 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
696 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
697 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
698 couldn't correctly identify them.
700 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
702 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
703 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
704 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
705 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
706 not depending on an external archive.
708 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
709 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
710 mts/generic is no longer built.
712 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
714 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
715 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
716 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
717 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
718 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
719 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
720 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
721 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
723 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
725 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
726 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
729 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
731 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
732 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
733 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
736 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
737 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
738 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
739 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
741 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
742 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
743 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
744 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
745 merged into the smtp code).
747 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
748 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
749 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
752 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
753 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
754 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
755 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
756 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
757 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
758 in the appropriate Makefile.in
760 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
762 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
763 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
764 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
765 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
766 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
767 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
768 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
769 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
770 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
771 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
772 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
774 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
776 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
777 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
778 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
779 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
780 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
781 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
782 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
783 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
784 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
786 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
788 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
789 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
792 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
794 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
795 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
797 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
799 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
800 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
801 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
802 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
804 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
806 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
807 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
808 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
809 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
810 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
812 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
813 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
815 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
817 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
819 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
820 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
821 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
822 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
824 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
825 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
826 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
827 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
829 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
830 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
831 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
832 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
834 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
835 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
836 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
838 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
840 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
841 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
842 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
843 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
844 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
845 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
848 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
849 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
851 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
852 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
854 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
856 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
858 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
860 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
861 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
862 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
863 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
865 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
867 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
868 be easily changed from "," to "#".
870 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
872 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
874 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
875 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
878 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
880 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
881 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
882 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
883 but not for the subsequent data stream.
885 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
887 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
888 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
889 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
890 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
891 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
893 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
895 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
896 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
898 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
899 cat, also define lorder as echo.
901 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
903 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
905 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
906 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
907 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
909 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
911 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
914 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
915 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
917 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
919 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
920 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
922 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
924 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
925 inc does not need to be setgid.
927 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
929 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
930 library, as found on Debian systems.
932 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
934 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
936 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
937 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
938 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
939 case-insensitivity flag.
941 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
943 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
944 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
946 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
949 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
950 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
951 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
952 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
953 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
954 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
955 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
956 getting moved aside).
958 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
959 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
961 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
963 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
964 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
965 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
966 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
967 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
968 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
969 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
970 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
971 the prototype, but never sets it.
973 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
974 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
975 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
976 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
977 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
978 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
980 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
981 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
982 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
983 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
984 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
986 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
988 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
989 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
992 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
993 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
994 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
995 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
996 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
997 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
998 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1000 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1002 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1004 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1005 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1006 this works on other systems.
1008 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1010 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1011 checks for write failures.
1013 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1015 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1017 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1020 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1022 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1024 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1026 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1027 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1030 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1032 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1033 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1034 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1035 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1037 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1039 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1040 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1043 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1044 as well as Makefiles.
1046 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1048 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1049 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1050 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1051 should make maintainability easier.
1053 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1054 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1055 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1056 whatever you know works.
1058 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1060 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1061 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1062 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1064 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1065 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1066 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1067 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1069 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1070 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1071 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1073 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1074 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1075 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1076 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1077 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1079 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1080 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1081 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1082 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1083 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1084 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1085 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1086 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1087 from the BSD version.
1089 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1090 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1091 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1093 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1094 in ruserpass.c also.
1096 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1099 This happens on solaris:
1102 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1103 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1107 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1109 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1110 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1112 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1114 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1115 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1116 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1117 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1118 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1119 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1120 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1121 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1122 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1123 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1124 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1126 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1127 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1128 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1129 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1130 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1131 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1134 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1135 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1136 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1137 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1138 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1140 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1141 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1143 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1145 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1146 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1147 to stdin, such as exmh.
1149 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1150 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1151 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1154 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1156 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1157 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1158 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1159 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1160 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1161 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1162 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1164 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1166 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1167 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1169 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1171 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1172 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1174 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1176 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1179 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1180 along with any -host or -user option.
1182 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1184 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1186 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1187 process was fresh in my mind.
1189 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1192 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1194 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1196 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1198 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1201 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1202 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1203 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1204 part of the program's name.
1206 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1207 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1210 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1212 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1213 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1214 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1215 single-character format would cause programs using this
1216 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1217 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1218 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1219 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1222 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1224 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1225 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1226 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1227 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1228 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1229 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1231 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1232 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1233 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1234 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1235 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1236 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1237 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1238 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1240 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1241 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1242 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1243 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1244 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1245 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1246 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1247 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1248 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1249 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1251 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1253 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1254 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1256 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1257 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1259 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1264 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1266 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1267 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1268 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1269 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1271 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1272 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1273 problem in the routine.
1275 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1277 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1278 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1280 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1281 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1282 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1285 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1288 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1289 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1290 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1291 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1292 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1293 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1294 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1295 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1296 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1298 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1300 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1301 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1302 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1303 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1304 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1305 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1306 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1307 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1308 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1309 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1310 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1311 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1313 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1314 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1315 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1316 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1317 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1319 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1322 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1324 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1325 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1326 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1327 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1330 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1332 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1334 * Applied, after some finessing,
1335 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1337 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1339 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1341 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1342 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1343 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1344 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1346 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1348 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1349 forgetting to do so!).
1351 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1352 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1353 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1354 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1355 arguments to enable all three types.
1357 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1358 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1360 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1361 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1362 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1363 updated copy of mts.conf.
1365 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1367 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1368 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1369 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1371 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1373 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1375 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1376 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1377 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1379 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1380 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1381 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1383 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1384 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1385 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1387 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1389 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1391 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1393 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1395 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1396 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1398 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1399 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1400 certain suffix to run properly.
1402 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1403 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1404 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1406 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1407 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1408 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1409 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1410 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1411 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1412 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1414 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1416 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1417 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1418 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1419 until some year far in the future).
1421 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1423 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1425 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1426 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1428 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1429 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1432 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1434 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1435 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1436 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1437 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1438 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1439 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1441 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1443 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1445 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1446 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1447 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1449 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1450 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1451 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1452 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1453 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1454 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1457 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1458 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1459 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1460 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1461 of masquerading individually.
1463 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1464 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1465 GECOS field delimiters.
1467 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1469 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1470 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1471 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1472 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1473 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1474 and explaining the feature.
1476 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1478 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1479 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1482 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1483 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1484 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1486 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1487 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1488 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1489 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1491 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1492 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1493 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1496 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1498 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1499 code to be executed.
1501 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1503 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1505 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1506 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1507 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1508 quotes embedded in them.
1510 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1512 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1513 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1514 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1515 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1516 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1517 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1518 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1521 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1522 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1523 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1524 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1525 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1527 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1529 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1531 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1532 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1533 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1534 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1536 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1539 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1541 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1543 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1545 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1546 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1547 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1549 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1552 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1554 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1555 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1556 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1557 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1558 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1559 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1561 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1562 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1564 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1566 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1569 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1571 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1572 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1573 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1576 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1577 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1578 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1579 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1580 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1581 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1582 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1583 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1584 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1585 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1586 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1587 processing that post has).
1589 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1591 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1592 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1593 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1594 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1595 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1596 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1599 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1601 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1603 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1605 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1607 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1608 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1610 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1613 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1615 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1616 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1617 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1620 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1622 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1623 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1624 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1625 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1626 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1627 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1629 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1631 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1633 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1635 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1636 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1637 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1638 caught again. This works for now.
1640 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1642 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1644 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1645 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1647 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1649 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1650 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1652 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1654 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1656 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1658 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1659 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1661 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1663 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1664 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1665 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1666 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1667 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1670 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1672 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1673 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1674 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1676 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1677 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1680 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1682 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1683 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1684 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1686 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1688 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1689 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1691 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1693 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1696 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1697 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1699 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1700 macros, regardless of platform.
1702 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1703 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1705 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1706 with x-conversions=gzip.
1708 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1710 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1713 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1714 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1715 implicit definition of ioctl().
1717 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1718 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1719 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1720 want to mess with them.
1722 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1724 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1725 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1727 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1728 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1730 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1731 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1732 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1734 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1735 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1736 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1738 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1739 function initgroups.
1741 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1744 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1745 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1748 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1749 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1752 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1753 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1757 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1759 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1760 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1761 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1763 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1764 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1766 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1768 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1770 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1771 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1772 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1773 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1775 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1776 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1778 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1780 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1782 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1784 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1785 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1787 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1789 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1790 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1792 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1793 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1794 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1795 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1797 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1798 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1800 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1802 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1803 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1805 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1807 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1808 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1811 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1813 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1815 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1817 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1818 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1820 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1821 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1822 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1824 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1825 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1826 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1828 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1829 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1830 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1832 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1833 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1836 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1837 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1839 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1840 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1842 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1843 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1845 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1846 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1847 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1849 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1850 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1852 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1853 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1854 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1856 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1857 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1860 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1861 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1863 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1864 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1865 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1866 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1868 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1869 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1871 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1875 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1876 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1877 would not be changed.
1879 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1880 one from the Apache web server.
1882 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1883 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1885 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1886 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1887 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1889 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1891 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1893 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1894 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1897 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1898 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1899 removes a bad race condition.
1901 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1904 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1905 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1906 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1908 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1909 sequence information.
1911 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1912 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1914 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1917 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1920 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1922 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1923 interpret 034 as octal.
1925 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1927 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1928 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1930 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1931 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1933 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1934 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1936 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1937 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1939 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1940 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1942 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1943 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1944 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1946 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1947 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1948 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1950 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1952 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1954 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1955 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1958 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1960 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1961 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1963 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1964 header field information.
1966 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1967 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1969 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1970 values when parsing a content.
1972 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1973 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1975 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1976 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1978 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1979 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1981 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1982 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1984 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1986 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1988 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1990 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1992 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1993 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1996 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1997 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1999 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2000 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2001 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2002 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2003 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2004 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2007 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2009 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2010 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2011 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2013 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2014 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2016 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2018 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2019 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2020 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2021 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2023 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2024 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2027 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2028 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2029 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2030 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2033 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2035 * Released nmh-0.27.
2037 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2038 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2040 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2041 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2042 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2043 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2046 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2047 mhbuild returns an error.
2049 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2050 rename the draft file.
2052 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2053 use a global variable.
2055 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2056 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2058 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2059 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2061 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2062 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2063 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2065 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2066 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2068 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2069 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2072 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2073 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2076 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2077 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2079 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2080 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2081 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2083 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2084 to new function output_content_folder.
2086 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2087 new function output_content_file.
2089 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2090 to new function parse_format_string.
2092 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2093 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2094 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2095 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2097 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2098 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2099 message/external file from ftp.
2101 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2102 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2103 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2105 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2106 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2109 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2112 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2113 new file mhstoresbr.c
2115 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2118 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2119 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2121 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2122 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2124 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2125 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2126 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2128 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2130 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2132 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2133 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2136 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2137 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2139 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2142 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2144 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2146 * Released nmh-0.26.
2148 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2149 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2150 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2151 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2153 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2154 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2155 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2156 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2157 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2159 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2160 But it is not on by default.
2162 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2163 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2165 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2167 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2169 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2171 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2173 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2174 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2176 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2178 * Released nmh-0.25.
2180 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2181 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2182 uses the original name of the library.
2184 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2185 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2188 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2189 list_content and list_debug.
2191 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2193 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2194 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.

2198 * Released nmh-0.24.
2200 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2202 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2203 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2205 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2206 large sequence line.
2208 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2210 * Released nmh-0.23.
2212 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2214 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2215 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2216 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2217 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2219 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2220 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2223 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2225 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2227 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2229 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2230 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2232 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2233 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2235 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2236 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2238 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2239 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2241 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2243 * Released nmh-0.22.
2245 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2246 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2248 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2250 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2251 mh-profile(5) man page.
2253 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2254 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2256 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2258 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2260 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2261 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2263 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2265 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2266 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2267 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2269 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2270 source message on the standard input.
2272 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2274 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2275 rather than -rfc934mode.
2277 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2278 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2281 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2282 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2284 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2287 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2289 * Released nmh-0.21.
2291 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2292 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2294 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2297 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2298 to use for text contents.
2300 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2302 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2304 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2306 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2308 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2309 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2311 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2312 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2313 spaces between encoded word are.
2315 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2317 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2318 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2320 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2321 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2322 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2324 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2326 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2327 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2329 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2331 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2333 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2334 ISO-8859-X character set.
2336 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2339 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2340 permissions, not write permissions.
2342 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2343 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2345 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2348 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2350 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2352 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2353 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2355 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2356 message contains valid character set.
2358 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2359 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2361 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2362 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2364 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2365 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2366 between an encoded word and normal text.
2368 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2369 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2371 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2372 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2374 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2377 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2378 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2381 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2382 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2384 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2385 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2387 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2389 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2391 * Released nmh-0.20.
2393 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2395 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2397 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2398 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2399 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2401 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2402 and the To: line was missing.
2404 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2406 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2408 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2410 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2411 watch the POP transaction.
2413 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2414 first, and use it if available.
2416 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2417 first, and use it if available.
2419 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2421 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2423 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2424 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2425 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2428 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2429 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2430 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2432 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2433 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2436 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2438 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2439 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2441 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2443 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2444 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2446 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2447 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2448 message to which you are replying.
2450 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2451 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2452 making group replies.
2454 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2456 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2458 * Released nmh-0.19.
2460 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2461 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2463 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2464 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2465 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2466 to the end of the man page.
2468 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2469 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2470 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2471 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2472 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2473 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2475 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2478 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2479 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2480 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2482 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2483 the next available number above the message number you wish
2486 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2487 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2489 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2490 file sbr/seq_print.c
2492 * flist will now update the current folder.
2494 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2495 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2496 but now undocumented.
2498 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2501 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2502 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2504 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2506 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2507 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2509 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Released nmh-0.18.
2513 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2514 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2515 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2517 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2518 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2520 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2521 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2522 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2523 previous public/private status.
2525 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2528 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2531 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2532 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2533 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2535 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2536 take option to determine whether it should get current
2537 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2538 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2540 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2542 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2543 wait for stopped processes.
2545 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2546 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2548 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2550 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2552 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2553 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2555 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2556 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2558 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2559 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2560 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2561 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2563 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2566 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2569 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2571 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2572 the debugging output.
2574 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2575 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2577 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2581 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2582 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2584 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2586 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2587 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2588 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2589 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2590 in the given sequence.
2592 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2593 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2594 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2595 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2596 subdirectories of a given directory.
2598 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2599 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2600 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2602 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2603 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2605 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2607 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2610 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2611 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2612 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2614 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2615 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2616 are calculated at runtime.
2618 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2620 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2622 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2623 about checking for global mh.profile.
2625 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2626 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2627 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2628 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2629 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2630 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2632 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2633 adding message to folder itself.
2635 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2636 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2637 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2640 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2641 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2644 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2645 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2646 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2648 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2649 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2651 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2652 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2653 code to use it yet).
2655 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2657 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2659 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2660 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2662 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2663 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2665 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2667 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2670 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2672 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2674 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2676 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2678 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2679 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2681 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2683 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2685 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2687 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2689 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2691 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2692 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2694 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2695 configuration files.
2697 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2699 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2701 * Released nmh-0.17.
2703 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2705 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2706 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2708 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2711 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2712 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2714 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2715 number of refiled message.
2717 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2719 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2720 for return value of wait().
2722 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2724 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2726 * Released nmh-0.16.
2728 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2732 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2733 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2734 deal with binary messages, yet).
2736 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2738 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2740 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2741 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2742 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2743 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2744 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2745 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2747 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2748 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2750 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2751 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2753 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2754 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2757 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2759 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2761 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2762 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2765 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2768 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2770 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2771 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2772 which used unsigned chars by default.
2774 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * Released nmh-0.15.
2778 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2779 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2781 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2783 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2785 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2788 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2789 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2790 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2792 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2793 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2795 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2797 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2798 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2800 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2801 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2802 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2803 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2805 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2806 and put in own subroutine.
2808 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2809 and put in own subroutine.
2811 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2812 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2813 refile.c to use new routine.
2815 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2942 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2944 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2961 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2963 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2964 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2966 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

3029 * Released nmh-0.08.
3031 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3032 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

3040 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3043 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3044 rather than mmdf format.
3046 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3047 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3048 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3049 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3051 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3053 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3055 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3058 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3059 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3060 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3062 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3063 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3064 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3066 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3069 can still easily change this in config.h).
3071 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3072 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3073 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3075 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3077 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3092 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3094 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3095 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3098 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3099 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3112 * Released nmh-0.06.
3114 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3115 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3117 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3118 many such machines around anymore.
3120 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3121 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3123 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3124 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3126 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3128 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3129 pre-generated version if necessary.
3131 * Released nmh-0.05.
3133 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3134 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3135 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3136 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3138 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3139 be linked in one pass.
3141 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3143 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3144 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3146 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3148 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3150 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3152 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3153 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3154 become the current folder.
3156 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3158 * Released nmh-0.04.

3163 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3165 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3166 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3167 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3169 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3171 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3172 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3174 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3176 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3177 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3180 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3181 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3183 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3185 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3186 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3187 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3188 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3189 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3190 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3192 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3194 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3195 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3197 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3198 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3200 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3202 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3203 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3205 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3207 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3208 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3209 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3211 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3213 * Released nmh-0.03.
3215 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3216 .mh_sequence file existed.
3218 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3219 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3221 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3222 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3225 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3227 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3230 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3232 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3233 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3234 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3236 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3238 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3239 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3240 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3242 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3244 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3245 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3247 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3249 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3251 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3252 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3253 directory from where the source code is located.
3255 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3257 * Released nmh-0.02.

3277 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3278 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3279 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3280 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3281 rather than in script.
3283 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3285 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3287 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3292 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3293 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3295 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3296 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3297 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3298 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3301 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3303 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3304 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3306 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3309 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3311 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3313 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

3316 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3318 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3319 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3321 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3323 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3324 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3325 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3326 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3327 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3328 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3330 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3332 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3334 * Released nmh-0.01.
3336 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3337 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3338 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3341 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3343 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3346 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3348 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3349 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3351 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3354 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3355 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3356 script to find_program.
3358 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3360 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3361 speed up -recurse option.
3363 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3364 yet, but it compiles :-)
3366 * Changed default location for install to
3367 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3368 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3369 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3372 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3373 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3374 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
