1 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
4 references to the web page and mailing list locations
6 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
7 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
9 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
12 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
14 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
15 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
16 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
18 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
19 was configured with --enable-apop.
21 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
22 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
23 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
25 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
28 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
29 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
30 doesn't guess wrongly.
32 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
34 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
35 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
37 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
38 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
40 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
41 files with numbers as names
43 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
45 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
47 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
49 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
51 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
52 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
54 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
56 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
59 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
60 test/report error writing to stdout
62 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
64 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
66 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
67 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
68 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
70 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
71 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
72 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
74 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
76 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
77 character set used by the current locale
79 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
80 message's filename overflows an int when converted
82 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
83 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
85 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
87 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
90 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
92 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
93 from Michael Richardson.
95 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
96 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
98 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
100 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
101 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
103 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
105 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
106 find sub-parts of the specified part
108 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
110 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
111 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
112 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
113 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
114 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
115 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
116 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
119 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
121 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
122 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
123 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
126 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
127 refiling with -src option.
129 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
131 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
133 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
135 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
136 mailpath being overwritten.
138 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
140 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
141 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
142 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
143 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
144 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
145 reinitializes the tmp file string.
147 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
148 if a format string was read from the profile.
150 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
151 path for the external hook.
153 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
155 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
156 another location for ndbm.
158 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
160 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
162 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
164 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
167 136976 - Handle binary content messages
168 143427 - mh-format.man typo
169 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
170 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
171 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
172 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
173 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
174 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
175 181867 - typo for nmh.man
177 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
179 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
180 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
181 contitional code which will result in cached data to
182 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
183 and parse on the first use.
184 * Remove some unused flag bits.
186 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
188 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
189 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
191 #578 - repl leaks umask
192 #1393 - sortm core dumps
193 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
194 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
195 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
197 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
198 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
200 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
202 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
203 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
205 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
207 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
208 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
209 to docs/README.about.
211 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
213 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
215 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
216 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
217 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
218 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
221 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
223 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
224 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
225 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
226 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
227 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
228 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
231 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
232 summary configure prints out.
234 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
235 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
236 subjectively more readable) format.
238 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
240 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
243 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
245 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
246 19xx when it's not necessary.
248 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
250 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
251 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
254 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
255 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
256 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
257 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
258 the man pages correctly.
260 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
262 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
264 * Finished manpages ali-prev
266 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
267 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
268 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
271 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
272 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
273 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
274 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
276 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
278 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
279 the formatting rules I've been using.
283 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
285 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
286 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
287 used in the manpages.
289 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
290 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
291 read in the contents of the file as the variable
294 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
295 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
296 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
297 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
298 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
299 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
300 bold flags and italicized parameters.
302 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
304 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
305 --with-locking option.
307 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
308 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
309 information was not being communicated to the
310 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
311 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
312 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
313 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
314 undefined symbols problems.
316 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
317 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
318 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
319 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
320 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
321 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
322 for a genuine krb4 installation.
324 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
326 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
327 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
329 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
331 * Made a new ./configure option called
332 "--with-locking" that allows the file
333 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
334 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
336 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
337 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
338 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
339 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
340 the user that these are the valid options, and
341 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
344 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
346 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
347 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
348 committed to supporting flex only, since
349 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
350 string, as well as other problems documented
351 below and on nmh-workers.
353 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
354 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
355 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
358 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
359 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
361 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
363 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
364 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
365 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
367 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
369 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
370 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
372 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
374 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
375 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
376 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
377 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
378 couldn't correctly identify them.
380 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
382 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
383 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
384 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
385 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
386 not depending on an external archive.
388 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
389 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
390 mts/generic is no longer built.
392 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
394 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
395 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
396 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
397 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
398 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
399 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
400 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
401 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
403 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
405 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
406 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
409 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
411 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
412 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
413 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
416 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
417 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
418 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
419 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
421 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
422 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
423 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
424 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
425 merged into the smtp code).
427 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
428 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
429 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
432 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
433 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
434 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
435 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
436 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
437 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
438 in the appropriate Makefile.in
440 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
442 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
443 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
444 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
445 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
446 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
447 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
448 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
449 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
450 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
451 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
452 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
454 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
456 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
457 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
458 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
459 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
460 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
461 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
462 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
463 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
464 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
466 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
468 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
469 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
472 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
474 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
475 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
477 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
479 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
480 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
481 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
482 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
484 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
486 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
487 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
488 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
489 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
490 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
492 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
493 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
495 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
497 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
499 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
500 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
501 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
502 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
504 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
505 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
506 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
507 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
509 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
510 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
511 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
512 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
514 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
515 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
516 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
518 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
520 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
521 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
522 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
523 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
524 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
525 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
528 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
529 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
531 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
532 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
534 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
536 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
538 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
540 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
541 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
542 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
543 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
545 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
547 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
548 be easily changed from "," to "#".
550 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
552 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
554 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
555 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
558 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
560 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
561 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
562 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
563 but not for the subsequent data stream.
565 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
567 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
568 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
569 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
570 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
571 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
573 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
575 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
576 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
578 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
579 cat, also define lorder as echo.
581 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
583 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
585 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
586 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
587 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
589 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
591 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
594 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
595 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
597 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
599 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
600 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
602 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
604 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
605 inc does not need to be setgid.
607 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
609 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
610 library, as found on Debian systems.
612 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
614 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
616 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
617 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
618 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
619 case-insensitivity flag.
621 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
623 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
624 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
626 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
628 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
629 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
630 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
631 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
632 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
633 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
634 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
635 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
636 getting moved aside).
638 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
639 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
641 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
643 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
644 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
645 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
646 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
647 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
648 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
649 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
650 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
651 the prototype, but never sets it.
653 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
654 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
655 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
656 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
657 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
658 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
660 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
661 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
662 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
663 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
664 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
666 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
668 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
669 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
672 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
673 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
674 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
675 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
676 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
677 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
678 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
680 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
682 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
684 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
685 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
686 this works on other systems.
688 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
690 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
691 checks for write failures.
693 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
695 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
697 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
700 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
702 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
704 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
706 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
707 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
710 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
712 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
713 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
714 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
715 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
717 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
719 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
720 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
723 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
724 as well as Makefiles.
726 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
728 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
729 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
730 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
731 should make maintainability easier.
733 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
734 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
735 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
736 whatever you know works.
738 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
740 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
741 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
742 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
744 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
745 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
746 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
747 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
749 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
750 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
751 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
753 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
754 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
755 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
756 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
757 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
759 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
760 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
761 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
762 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
763 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
764 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
765 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
766 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
767 from the BSD version.
769 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
770 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
771 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
773 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
776 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
779 This happens on solaris:
782 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
783 No manual entry for mts.conf.
787 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
789 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
790 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
792 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
794 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
795 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
796 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
797 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
798 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
799 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
800 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
801 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
802 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
803 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
804 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
806 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
807 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
808 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
809 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
810 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
811 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
814 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
815 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
816 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
817 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
818 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
820 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
821 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
823 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
825 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
826 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
827 to stdin, such as exmh.
829 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
830 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
831 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
834 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
836 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
837 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
838 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
839 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
840 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
841 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
842 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
844 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
846 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
847 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
849 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
851 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
852 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
854 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
856 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
859 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
860 along with any -host or -user option.
862 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
864 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
866 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
867 process was fresh in my mind.
869 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
871 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
872 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
874 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
876 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
878 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
881 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
882 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
883 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
884 part of the program's name.
886 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
887 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
890 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
892 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
893 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
894 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
895 single-character format would cause programs using this
896 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
897 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
898 when the format string was one character. This eventually
899 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
902 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
904 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
905 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
906 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
907 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
908 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
909 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
911 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
912 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
913 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
914 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
915 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
916 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
917 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
918 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
920 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
921 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
922 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
923 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
924 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
925 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
926 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
927 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
928 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
929 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
931 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
933 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
934 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
936 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
937 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
939 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
944 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
946 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
947 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
948 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
949 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
951 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
952 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
953 problem in the routine.
955 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
957 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
958 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
960 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
961 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
962 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
965 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
967 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
968 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
969 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
970 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
971 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
972 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
973 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
974 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
975 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
976 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
978 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
980 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
981 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
982 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
983 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
984 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
985 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
986 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
987 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
988 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
989 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
990 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
991 interesting than a duplication of the default.
993 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
994 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
995 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
996 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
997 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
999 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1002 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1004 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1005 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1006 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1007 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1010 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1012 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1014 * Applied, after some finessing,
1015 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1017 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1019 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1021 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1022 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1023 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1024 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1026 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1028 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1029 forgetting to do so!).
1031 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1032 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1033 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1034 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1035 arguments to enable all three types.
1037 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1038 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1040 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1041 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1042 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1043 updated copy of mts.conf.
1045 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1047 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1048 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1049 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1051 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1053 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1055 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1056 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1057 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1059 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1060 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1061 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1063 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1064 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1065 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1067 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1069 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1071 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1073 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1075 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1076 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1078 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1079 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1080 certain suffix to run properly.
1082 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1083 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1084 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1086 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1087 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1088 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1089 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1090 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1091 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1092 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1094 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1096 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1097 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1098 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1099 until some year far in the future).
1101 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1103 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1105 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1106 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1108 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1109 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1112 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1114 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1115 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1116 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1117 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1118 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1119 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1121 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1123 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1125 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1126 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1127 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1129 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1130 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1131 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1132 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1133 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1134 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1137 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1138 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1139 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1140 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1141 of masquerading individually.
1143 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1144 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1145 GECOS field delimiters.
1147 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1149 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1150 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1151 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1152 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1153 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1154 and explaining the feature.
1156 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1158 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1159 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1162 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1163 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1164 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1166 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1167 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1168 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1169 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1171 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1172 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1173 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1176 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1178 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1179 code to be executed.
1181 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1183 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1185 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1186 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1187 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1188 quotes embedded in them.
1190 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1192 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1193 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1194 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1195 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1196 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1197 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1198 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1201 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1202 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1203 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1204 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1205 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1207 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1211 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1212 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1213 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1214 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1216 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1219 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1221 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1223 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1225 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1226 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1227 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1229 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1232 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1234 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1235 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1236 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1237 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1238 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1239 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1241 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1242 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1244 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1246 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1249 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1251 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1252 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1253 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1256 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1257 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1258 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1259 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1260 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1261 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1262 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1263 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1264 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1265 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1266 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1267 processing that post has).
1269 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1271 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1272 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1273 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1274 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1275 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1276 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1279 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1281 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1283 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1285 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1287 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1288 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1290 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1293 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1295 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1296 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1297 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1300 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1302 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1303 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1304 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1305 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1306 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1307 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1309 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1311 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1313 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1315 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1316 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1317 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1318 caught again. This works for now.
1320 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1322 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1324 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1325 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1327 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1329 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1330 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1332 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1334 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1336 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1338 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1339 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1341 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1343 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1344 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1345 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1346 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1347 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1350 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1352 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1353 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1354 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1356 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1357 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1360 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1362 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1363 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1364 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1366 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1368 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1369 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1371 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1373 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1376 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1377 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1379 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1380 macros, regardless of platform.
1382 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1383 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1385 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1386 with x-conversions=gzip.
1388 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1390 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1393 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1394 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1395 implicit definition of ioctl().
1397 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1398 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1399 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1400 want to mess with them.
1402 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1404 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1405 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1407 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1408 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1410 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1411 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1412 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1414 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1415 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1416 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1418 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1419 function initgroups.
1421 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1424 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1425 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1428 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1429 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1432 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1433 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1437 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1439 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1440 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1441 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1443 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1444 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1446 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1448 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1450 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1451 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1452 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1453 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1455 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1456 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1458 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1460 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1462 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1464 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1465 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1467 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1469 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1470 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1472 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1473 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1474 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1475 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1477 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1478 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1480 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1482 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1483 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1485 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1487 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1488 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1491 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1493 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1495 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1497 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1498 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1500 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1501 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1502 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1504 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1505 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1506 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1508 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1509 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1510 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1512 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1513 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1516 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1517 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1519 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1520 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1522 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1523 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1525 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1526 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1527 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1529 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1530 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1532 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1533 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1534 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1536 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1537 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1540 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1541 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1543 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1544 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1545 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1546 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1548 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1549 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1551 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1555 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1556 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1557 would not be changed.
1559 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1560 one from the Apache web server.
1562 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1563 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1565 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1566 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1567 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1569 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1571 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1573 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1574 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1577 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1578 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1579 removes a bad race condition.
1581 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1584 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1585 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1586 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1588 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1589 sequence information.
1591 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1592 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1594 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1597 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1600 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1602 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1603 interpret 034 as octal.
1605 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1607 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1608 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1610 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1611 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1613 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1614 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1616 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1617 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1619 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1620 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1622 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1623 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1624 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1626 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1627 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1628 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1630 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1632 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1634 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1635 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1638 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1640 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1641 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1643 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1644 header field information.
1646 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1647 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1649 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1650 values when parsing a content.
1652 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1653 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1655 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1656 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1658 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1659 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1661 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1662 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1664 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1666 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1668 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1670 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1672 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1673 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1676 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1677 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1679 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1680 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1681 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1682 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1683 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1684 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1687 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1689 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1690 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1691 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1693 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1694 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1696 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1698 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1699 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1700 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1701 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1703 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1704 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1707 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1708 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1709 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1710 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1713 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1715 * Released nmh-0.27.
1717 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1718 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1720 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1721 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1722 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1723 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1726 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1727 mhbuild returns an error.
1729 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1730 rename the draft file.
1732 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1733 use a global variable.
1735 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1736 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1738 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1739 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1741 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1742 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1743 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1745 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1746 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1748 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1749 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1752 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1753 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1756 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1757 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1759 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1760 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1761 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1763 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1764 to new function output_content_folder.
1766 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1767 new function output_content_file.
1769 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1770 to new function parse_format_string.
1772 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1773 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1774 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1775 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1777 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1778 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1779 message/external file from ftp.
1781 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1782 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1783 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1785 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1786 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1789 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1792 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1793 new file mhstoresbr.c
1795 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1798 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1799 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1801 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1802 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1804 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1805 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1806 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1808 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1810 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1812 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1813 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1816 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1817 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1819 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1822 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1824 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * Released nmh-0.26.
1828 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1829 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1830 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1831 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1833 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1834 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1835 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1836 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1837 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1839 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1840 But it is not on by default.
1842 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1843 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1845 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1847 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1849 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1851 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1853 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1854 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1856 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1858 * Released nmh-0.25.
1860 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1861 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1862 uses the original name of the library.
1864 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1865 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1868 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1869 list_content and list_debug.
1871 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1873 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1874 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1876 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1878 * Released nmh-0.24.
1880 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1882 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1883 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1885 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1886 large sequence line.
1888 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1890 * Released nmh-0.23.
1892 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1894 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1895 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1896 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1897 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1899 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1900 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1903 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1905 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1907 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1909 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1910 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1912 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1913 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1915 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1916 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1918 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1919 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1921 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1923 * Released nmh-0.22.
1925 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1926 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1928 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1930 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1931 mh-profile(5) man page.
1933 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1934 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1936 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1938 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1940 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1941 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1943 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1945 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1946 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1947 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1949 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1950 source message on the standard input.
1952 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1954 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1955 rather than -rfc934mode.
1957 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1958 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1961 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1962 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1964 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1967 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1969 * Released nmh-0.21.
1971 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1972 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1974 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1977 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1978 to use for text contents.
1980 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1982 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1984 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1986 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1988 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1989 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1991 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1992 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1993 spaces between encoded word are.
1995 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1997 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1998 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2000 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2001 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2002 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2004 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2006 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2007 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2009 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2011 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2013 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2014 ISO-8859-X character set.
2016 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2019 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2020 permissions, not write permissions.
2022 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2023 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2025 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2028 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2030 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2032 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2033 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2035 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2036 message contains valid character set.
2038 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2039 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2041 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2042 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2044 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2045 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2046 between an encoded word and normal text.
2048 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2049 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2051 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2052 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2054 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2057 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2058 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2061 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2062 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2064 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2065 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2067 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2069 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2071 * Released nmh-0.20.
2073 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2075 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2077 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2078 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2079 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2081 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2082 and the To: line was missing.
2084 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2086 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2088 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2090 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2091 watch the POP transaction.
2093 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2094 first, and use it if available.
2096 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2097 first, and use it if available.
2099 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2101 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2103 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2104 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2105 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2108 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2109 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2110 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2112 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2113 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2116 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2118 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2119 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2121 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2123 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2124 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2126 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2127 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2128 message to which you are replying.
2130 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2131 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2132 making group replies.
2134 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2136 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2138 * Released nmh-0.19.
2140 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2141 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2143 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2144 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2145 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2146 to the end of the man page.
2148 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2149 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2150 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2151 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2152 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2153 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2155 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2158 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2159 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2160 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2162 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2163 the next available number above the message number you wish
2166 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2167 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2169 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2170 file sbr/seq_print.c
2172 * flist will now update the current folder.
2174 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2175 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2176 but now undocumented.
2178 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2181 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2182 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2184 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2186 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2187 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2189 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2191 * Released nmh-0.18.
2193 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2194 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2195 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2197 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2198 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2200 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2201 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2202 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2203 previous public/private status.
2205 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2208 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2211 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2212 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2213 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2215 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2216 take option to determine whether it should get current
2217 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2218 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2220 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2222 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2223 wait for stopped processes.
2225 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2226 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2228 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2230 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2232 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2233 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2235 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2236 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2238 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2239 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2240 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2241 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2243 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2246 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2249 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2251 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2252 the debugging output.
2254 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2255 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2257 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2259 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2261 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2262 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2264 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2266 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2267 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2268 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2269 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2270 in the given sequence.
2272 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2273 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2274 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2275 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2276 subdirectories of a given directory.
2278 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2279 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2280 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2282 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2283 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2285 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2287 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2290 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2291 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2292 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2294 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2295 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2296 are calculated at runtime.
2298 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2300 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2302 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2303 about checking for global mh.profile.
2305 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2306 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2307 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2308 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2309 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2310 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2312 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2313 adding message to folder itself.
2315 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2316 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2317 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2320 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2321 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2324 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2325 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2326 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2328 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2329 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2331 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2332 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2333 code to use it yet).
2335 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2337 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2339 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2340 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2342 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2343 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2345 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2347 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2350 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2352 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2354 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2356 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2358 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2359 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2361 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2363 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2365 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2367 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2369 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2371 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2372 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2374 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2375 configuration files.
2377 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2379 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2381 * Released nmh-0.17.
2383 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2385 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2386 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2388 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2391 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2392 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2394 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2395 number of refiled message.
2397 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2399 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2400 for return value of wait().
2402 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2404 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2406 * Released nmh-0.16.
2408 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2410 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2412 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2413 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2414 deal with binary messages, yet).
2416 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2418 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2420 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2421 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2422 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2423 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2424 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2425 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2427 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2428 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2430 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2431 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2433 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2434 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2437 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2439 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2441 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2442 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2445 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2448 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2450 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2451 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2452 which used unsigned chars by default.
2454 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2456 * Released nmh-0.15.
2458 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2461 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2463 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2465 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2468 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2469 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2470 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2472 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2473 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2475 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2477 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2478 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2480 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2481 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2482 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2483 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2485 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2486 and put in own subroutine.
2488 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2489 and put in own subroutine.
2491 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2492 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2493 refile.c to use new routine.
2495 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2497 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2499 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2502 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2503 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2504 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2506 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2509 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2510 adding message to sequence.
2512 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2513 corresponding file in sbr.
2515 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2518 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2520 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2521 all selected messages from a sequence.
2523 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2524 selected messages to a sequence.
2526 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2529 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2531 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2532 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2534 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2536 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2553 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2554 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2555 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2556 environment variable.
2558 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2559 draft folder facility in nmh.
2561 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2564 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2573 * Released nmh-0.13.
2575 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2576 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2577 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2578 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2581 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2582 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2584 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2586 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2587 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2589 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2591 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2592 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2607 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2608 mp->attrstats with macros.
2610 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2613 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2616 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2617 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2619 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2620 will suppress the display of the message header.
2622 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2624 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2625 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2627 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2629 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2631 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2633 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2634 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2636 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2637 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2639 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2641 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2643 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2644 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2646 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2647 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2649 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2651 * Released nmh-0.10.
2653 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2658 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2660 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2661 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2663 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2664 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2666 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2667 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2669 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2671 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2672 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2674 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2676 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2677 of missing tabs in regex.
2679 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * Released nmh-0.09.
2683 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.

2694 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2697 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2699 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2701 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2702 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2704 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2707 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2709 * Released nmh-0.08.
2711 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2712 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2713 locking database itself.
2715 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2719 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2720 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2723 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2724 rather than mmdf format.
2726 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2727 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2728 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2729 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2731 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2733 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2735 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2738 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2739 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2740 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2742 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2743 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2744 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2746 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2748 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2749 can still easily change this in config.h).
2751 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2752 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2753 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2755 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2757 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2758 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2760 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2762 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2764 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2767 * Released nmh-0.07.
2769 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2772 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2774 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2775 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2778 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2779 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2781 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2782 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2784 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2786 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2788 * Added configure check for tzset.
2790 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2792 * Released nmh-0.06.
2794 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2795 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2797 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2798 many such machines around anymore.
2800 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2801 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2803 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2804 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2806 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2808 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2809 pre-generated version if necessary.
2811 * Released nmh-0.05.
2813 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2814 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2815 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2816 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2818 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2819 be linked in one pass.
2821 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2823 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2824 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2826 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2828 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2830 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2832 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2833 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2834 become the current folder.
2836 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2838 * Released nmh-0.04.
2840 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2843 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2845 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2846 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2847 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2849 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2851 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2852 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2854 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2856 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2857 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2860 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2861 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2863 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2865 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2866 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2867 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2868 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2869 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2870 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2872 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2874 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2875 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2877 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2878 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2880 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2882 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank

2885 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2887 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2888 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2889 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2891 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2893 * Released nmh-0.03.
2895 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2896 .mh_sequence file existed.
2898 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2899 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2901 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2902 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2905 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2907 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2910 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2912 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2913 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2914 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2916 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2918 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2919 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2920 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2922 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2924 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2925 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2927 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2929 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2931 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2932 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2933 directory from where the source code is located.
2935 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2937 * Released nmh-0.02.

2944 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2946 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2947 and sys_nerr directly.
2949 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2951 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.

2955 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2958 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2959 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2960 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2961 rather than in script.
2963 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2965 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2967 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2968 macro defined on Solaris.
2970 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2973 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2975 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2976 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2977 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2978 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2981 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2983 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2984 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2986 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2989 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2991 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2993 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2994 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.

2998 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2999 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3001 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3003 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3004 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3005 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3006 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3007 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3008 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3010 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3012 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3014 * Released nmh-0.01.
3016 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3017 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3018 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3021 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3023 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3026 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3028 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3029 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3031 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3033 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3034 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3035 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3036 script to find_program.
3038 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3041 speed up -recurse option.
3043 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3044 yet, but it compiles :-)
3046 * Changed default location for install to
3047 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3048 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3049 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3052 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3053 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3054 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
