3 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
4 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
5 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
7 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
8 was configured with --enable-apop.
10 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
11 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
12 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
14 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
17 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
18 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
19 doesn't guess wrongly.
21 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
23 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
24 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
26 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
27 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
29 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
30 files with numbers as names
32 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
34 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
36 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
38 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
40 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
41 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
43 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
45 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
48 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
49 test/report error writing to stdout
51 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
53 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
55 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
56 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
57 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
59 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
60 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
61 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
63 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
65 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
66 character set used by the current locale
68 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
69 message's filename overflows an int when converted
71 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
72 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
74 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
76 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
79 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
81 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
82 from Michael Richardson.
84 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
85 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
87 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
89 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
90 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
92 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
94 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
95 find sub-parts of the specified part
97 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
99 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
100 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
101 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
102 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
103 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
104 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
105 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
108 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
110 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
111 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
112 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
115 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
116 refiling with -src option.
118 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
120 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
122 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
124 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
125 mailpath being overwritten.
127 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
129 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
130 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
131 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
132 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
133 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
134 reinitializes the tmp file string.
136 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
137 if a format string was read from the profile.
139 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
140 path for the external hook.
142 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
144 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
145 another location for ndbm.
147 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
149 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
151 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
153 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
156 136976 - Handle binary content messages
157 143427 - mh-format.man typo
158 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
159 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
160 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
161 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
162 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
163 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
164 181867 - typo for nmh.man
166 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
168 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
169 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
170 contitional code which will result in cached data to
171 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
172 and parse on the first use.
173 * Remove some unused flag bits.
175 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
177 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
178 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
180 #578 - repl leaks umask
181 #1393 - sortm core dumps
182 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
183 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
184 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
186 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
187 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
189 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
191 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
192 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
194 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
196 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
197 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
198 to docs/README.about.
200 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
202 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
204 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
205 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
206 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
207 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
210 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
212 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
213 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
214 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
215 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
216 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
217 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
220 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
221 summary configure prints out.
223 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
224 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
225 subjectively more readable) format.
227 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
229 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
232 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
234 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
235 19xx when it's not necessary.
237 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
239 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
240 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
243 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
244 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
245 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
246 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
247 the man pages correctly.
249 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
251 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
253 * Finished manpages ali-prev
255 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
256 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
257 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
260 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
261 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
262 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
263 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
265 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
267 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
268 the formatting rules I've been using.
272 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
274 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
275 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
276 used in the manpages.
278 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
279 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
280 read in the contents of the file as the variable
283 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
284 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
285 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
286 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
287 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
288 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
289 bold flags and italicized parameters.
291 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
293 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
294 --with-locking option.
296 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
297 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
298 information was not being communicated to the
299 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
300 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
301 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
302 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
303 undefined symbols problems.
305 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
306 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
307 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
308 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
309 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
310 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
311 for a genuine krb4 installation.
313 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
315 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
316 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
318 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
320 * Made a new ./configure option called
321 "--with-locking" that allows the file
322 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
323 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
325 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
326 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
327 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
328 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
329 the user that these are the valid options, and
330 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
333 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
335 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
336 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
337 committed to supporting flex only, since
338 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
339 string, as well as other problems documented
340 below and on nmh-workers.
342 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
343 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
344 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
347 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
348 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
350 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
352 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
353 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
354 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
356 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
358 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
359 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
361 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
363 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
364 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
365 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
366 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
367 couldn't correctly identify them.
369 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
371 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
372 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
373 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
374 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
375 not depending on an external archive.
377 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
378 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
379 mts/generic is no longer built.
381 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
383 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
384 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
385 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
386 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
387 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
388 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
389 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
390 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
392 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
394 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
395 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
398 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
400 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
401 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
402 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
405 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
406 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
407 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
408 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
410 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
411 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
412 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
413 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
414 merged into the smtp code).
416 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
417 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
418 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
421 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
422 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
423 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
424 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
425 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
426 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
427 in the appropriate Makefile.in
429 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
431 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
432 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
433 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
434 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
435 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
436 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
437 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
438 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
439 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
440 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
441 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
443 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
445 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
446 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
447 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
448 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
449 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
450 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
451 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
452 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
453 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
455 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
457 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
458 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
461 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
463 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
464 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
466 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
468 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
469 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
470 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
471 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
473 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
475 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
476 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
477 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
478 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
479 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
481 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
482 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
484 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
486 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
488 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
489 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
490 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
491 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
493 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
494 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
495 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
496 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
498 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
499 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
500 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
501 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
503 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
504 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
505 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
507 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
509 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
510 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
511 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
512 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
513 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
514 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
517 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
518 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
520 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
521 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
523 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
525 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
527 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
529 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
530 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
531 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
532 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
534 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
536 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
537 be easily changed from "," to "#".
539 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
541 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
543 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
544 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
547 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
549 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
550 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
551 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
552 but not for the subsequent data stream.
554 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
556 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
557 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
558 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
559 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
560 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
562 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
564 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
565 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
567 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
568 cat, also define lorder as echo.
570 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
572 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
574 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
575 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
576 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
578 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
580 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
583 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
584 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
586 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
588 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
589 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
591 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
593 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
594 inc does not need to be setgid.
596 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
598 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
599 library, as found on Debian systems.
601 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
603 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
605 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
606 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
607 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
608 case-insensitivity flag.
610 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
612 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
613 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
615 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
617 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
618 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
619 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
620 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
621 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
622 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
623 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
624 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
625 getting moved aside).
627 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
628 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
630 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
632 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
633 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
634 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
635 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
636 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
637 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
638 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
639 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
640 the prototype, but never sets it.
642 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
643 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
644 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
645 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
646 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
647 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
649 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
650 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
651 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
652 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
653 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
655 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
657 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
658 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
661 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
662 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
663 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
664 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
665 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
666 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
667 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
669 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
671 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
673 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
674 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
675 this works on other systems.
677 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
679 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
680 checks for write failures.
682 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
684 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
686 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
689 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
691 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
693 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
695 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
696 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
699 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
701 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
702 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
703 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
704 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
706 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
708 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
709 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
712 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
713 as well as Makefiles.
715 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
717 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
718 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
719 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
720 should make maintainability easier.
722 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
723 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
724 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
725 whatever you know works.
727 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
729 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
730 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
731 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
733 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
734 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
735 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
736 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
738 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
739 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
740 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
742 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
743 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
744 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
745 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
746 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
748 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
749 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
750 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
751 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
752 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
753 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
754 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
755 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
756 from the BSD version.
758 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
759 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
760 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
762 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
765 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
768 This happens on solaris:
771 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
772 No manual entry for mts.conf.
776 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
778 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
779 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
781 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
783 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
784 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
785 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
786 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
787 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
788 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
789 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
790 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
791 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
792 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
793 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
795 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
796 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
797 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
798 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
799 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
800 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
803 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
804 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
805 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
806 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
807 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
809 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
810 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
812 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
814 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
815 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
816 to stdin, such as exmh.
818 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
819 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
820 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
823 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
825 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
826 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
827 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
828 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
829 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
830 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
831 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
833 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
835 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
836 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
838 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
840 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
841 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
843 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
845 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
848 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
849 along with any -host or -user option.
851 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
855 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
856 process was fresh in my mind.
858 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
860 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
861 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
863 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
865 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
870 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
871 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
872 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
873 part of the program's name.
875 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
876 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
879 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
881 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
882 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
883 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
884 single-character format would cause programs using this
885 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
886 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
887 when the format string was one character. This eventually
888 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
891 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
893 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
894 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
895 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
896 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
897 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
898 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
900 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
901 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
902 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
903 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
904 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
905 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
906 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
907 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
909 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
910 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
911 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
912 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
913 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
914 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
915 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
916 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
917 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
918 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
920 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
922 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
923 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
925 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
926 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
928 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
933 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
935 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
936 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
937 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
938 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
940 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
941 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
942 problem in the routine.
944 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
946 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
947 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
949 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
950 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
951 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
954 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
956 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
957 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
958 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
959 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
960 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
961 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
962 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
963 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
964 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
965 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
967 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
969 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
970 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
971 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
972 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
973 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
974 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
975 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
976 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
977 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
978 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
979 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
980 interesting than a duplication of the default.
982 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
983 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
984 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
985 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
986 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
988 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
991 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
993 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
994 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
995 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
996 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
999 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1001 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1003 * Applied, after some finessing,
1004 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1006 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1008 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1010 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1011 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1012 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1013 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1015 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1017 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1018 forgetting to do so!).
1020 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1021 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1022 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1023 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1024 arguments to enable all three types.
1026 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1027 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1029 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1030 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1031 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1032 updated copy of mts.conf.
1034 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1036 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1037 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1038 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1040 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1042 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1044 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1045 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1046 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1048 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1049 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1050 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1052 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1053 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1054 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1056 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1058 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1060 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1062 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1064 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1065 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1067 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1068 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1069 certain suffix to run properly.
1071 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1072 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1073 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1075 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1076 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1077 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1078 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1079 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1080 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1081 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1083 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1085 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1086 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1087 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1088 until some year far in the future).
1090 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1092 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1094 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1095 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1097 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1098 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1101 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1103 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1104 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1105 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1106 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1107 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1108 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1110 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1112 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1114 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1115 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1116 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1118 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1119 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1120 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1121 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1122 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1123 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1126 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1127 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1128 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1129 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1130 of masquerading individually.
1132 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1133 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1134 GECOS field delimiters.
1136 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1138 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1139 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1140 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1141 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1142 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1143 and explaining the feature.
1145 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1147 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1148 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1151 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1152 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1153 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1155 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1156 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1157 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1158 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1160 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1161 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1162 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1165 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1167 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1168 code to be executed.
1170 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1172 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1174 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1175 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1176 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1177 quotes embedded in them.
1179 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1181 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1182 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1183 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1184 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1185 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1186 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1187 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1190 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1191 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1192 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1193 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1194 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1196 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1198 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1200 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1201 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1202 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1203 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1205 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1208 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1210 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1212 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1214 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1215 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1216 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1218 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1221 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1223 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1224 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1225 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1226 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1227 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1228 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1230 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1231 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1233 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1235 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1238 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1240 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1241 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1242 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1245 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1246 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1247 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1248 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1249 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1250 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1251 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1252 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1253 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1254 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1255 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1256 processing that post has).
1258 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1261 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1262 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1263 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1264 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1265 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1268 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1270 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1272 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1274 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1276 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1277 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1279 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1282 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1285 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1286 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1289 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1291 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1292 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1293 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1294 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1295 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1296 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1298 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1300 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1302 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1304 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1305 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1306 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1307 caught again. This works for now.
1309 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1311 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1313 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1314 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1316 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1318 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1319 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1321 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1323 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1325 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1327 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1328 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1330 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1332 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1333 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1334 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1335 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1336 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1339 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1341 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1342 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1343 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1345 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1346 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1349 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1351 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1352 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1353 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1355 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1357 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1358 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1360 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1362 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1365 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1366 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1368 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1369 macros, regardless of platform.
1371 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1372 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1374 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1375 with x-conversions=gzip.
1377 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1379 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1382 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1383 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1384 implicit definition of ioctl().
1386 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1387 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1388 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1389 want to mess with them.
1391 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1393 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1394 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1396 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1397 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1399 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1400 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1401 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1403 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1404 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1405 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1407 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1408 function initgroups.
1410 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1413 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1414 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1417 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1418 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1421 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1422 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1426 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1428 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1429 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1430 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1432 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1433 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1435 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1437 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1439 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1440 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1441 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1442 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1444 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1445 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1447 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1449 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1451 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1453 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1454 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1456 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1458 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1459 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1461 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1462 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1463 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1464 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1466 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1467 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1469 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1471 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1472 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1474 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1476 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1477 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1480 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1482 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1484 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1486 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1487 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1489 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1490 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1491 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1493 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1494 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1495 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1497 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1498 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1499 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1501 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1502 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1505 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1506 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1508 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1509 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1511 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1512 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1514 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1515 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1516 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1518 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1519 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1521 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1522 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1523 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1525 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1526 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1529 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1530 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1532 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1533 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1534 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1535 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1537 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1538 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1540 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1544 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1545 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1546 would not be changed.
1548 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1549 one from the Apache web server.
1551 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1552 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1554 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1555 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1556 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1558 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1560 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1562 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1563 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1566 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1567 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1568 removes a bad race condition.
1570 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1573 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1574 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1575 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1577 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1578 sequence information.
1580 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1581 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1583 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1586 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1589 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1591 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1592 interpret 034 as octal.
1594 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1596 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1597 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1599 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1600 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1602 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1603 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1605 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1606 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1608 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1609 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1611 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1612 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1613 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1615 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1616 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1617 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1619 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1621 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1623 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1624 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1627 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1629 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1630 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1632 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1633 header field information.
1635 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1636 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1638 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1639 values when parsing a content.
1641 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1642 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1644 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1645 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1647 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1648 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1650 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1651 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1653 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1655 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1657 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1659 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1661 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1662 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1665 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1666 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1668 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1669 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1670 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1671 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1672 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1673 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1676 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1678 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1679 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1680 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1682 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1683 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1685 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1687 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1688 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1689 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1690 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1692 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1693 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1696 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1697 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1698 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1699 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1702 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1704 * Released nmh-0.27.
1706 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1707 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1709 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1710 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1711 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1712 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1715 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1716 mhbuild returns an error.
1718 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1719 rename the draft file.
1721 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1722 use a global variable.
1724 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1725 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1727 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1728 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1730 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1731 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1732 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1734 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1735 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1737 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1738 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1741 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1742 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1745 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1746 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1748 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1749 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1750 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1752 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1753 to new function output_content_folder.
1755 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1756 new function output_content_file.
1758 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1759 to new function parse_format_string.
1761 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1762 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1763 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1764 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1766 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1767 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1768 message/external file from ftp.
1770 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1771 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1772 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1774 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1775 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1778 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1781 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1782 new file mhstoresbr.c
1784 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1787 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1788 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1790 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1791 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1793 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1794 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1795 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1797 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1799 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1801 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1802 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1805 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1806 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1808 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1811 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1813 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1815 * Released nmh-0.26.
1817 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1818 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1819 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1820 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1822 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1823 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1824 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1825 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1826 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1828 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1829 But it is not on by default.
1831 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1832 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1834 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1836 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1838 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1840 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1842 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1843 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1845 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1847 * Released nmh-0.25.
1849 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1850 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1851 uses the original name of the library.
1853 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1854 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1857 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1858 list_content and list_debug.
1860 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1862 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1863 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1865 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1867 * Released nmh-0.24.
1869 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1871 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1872 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1874 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1875 large sequence line.
1877 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1879 * Released nmh-0.23.
1881 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1883 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1884 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1885 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1886 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1888 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1889 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1892 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1894 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1896 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1898 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1899 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1901 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1902 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1904 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1905 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1907 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1908 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1910 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1912 * Released nmh-0.22.
1914 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1915 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1917 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1919 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1920 mh-profile(5) man page.
1922 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1923 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1925 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1927 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1929 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1930 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1932 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1934 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1935 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1936 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1938 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1939 source message on the standard input.
1941 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1943 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1944 rather than -rfc934mode.
1946 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1947 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1950 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1951 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1953 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1956 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1958 * Released nmh-0.21.
1960 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1961 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1963 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1966 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1967 to use for text contents.
1969 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1971 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1973 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1975 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1977 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1978 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1980 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1981 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1982 spaces between encoded word are.
1984 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1986 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1987 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1989 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1990 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1991 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1993 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1995 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1996 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1998 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2000 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2002 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2003 ISO-8859-X character set.
2005 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2008 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2009 permissions, not write permissions.
2011 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2012 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2014 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2017 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2019 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2021 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2022 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2024 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2025 message contains valid character set.
2027 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2028 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2030 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2031 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2033 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2034 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2035 between an encoded word and normal text.
2037 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2038 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2040 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2041 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2043 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2046 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2047 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2050 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2051 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2053 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2054 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2056 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2058 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2060 * Released nmh-0.20.
2062 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2064 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2066 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2067 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2068 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2070 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2071 and the To: line was missing.
2073 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2075 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2077 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2079 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2080 watch the POP transaction.
2082 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2083 first, and use it if available.
2085 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2086 first, and use it if available.
2088 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2090 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2092 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2093 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2094 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2097 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2098 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2099 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2101 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2102 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2105 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2107 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2108 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2110 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2112 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2113 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2115 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2116 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2117 message to which you are replying.
2119 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2120 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2121 making group replies.
2123 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2125 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2127 * Released nmh-0.19.
2129 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2130 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2132 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2133 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2134 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2135 to the end of the man page.
2137 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2138 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2139 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2140 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2141 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2142 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2144 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2147 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2148 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2149 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2151 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2152 the next available number above the message number you wish
2155 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2156 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2158 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2159 file sbr/seq_print.c
2161 * flist will now update the current folder.
2163 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2164 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2165 but now undocumented.
2167 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2170 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2171 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2173 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2175 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2176 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2178 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2180 * Released nmh-0.18.
2182 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2183 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2184 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2186 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2187 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2189 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2190 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2191 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2192 previous public/private status.
2194 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2197 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2200 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2201 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2202 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2204 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2205 take option to determine whether it should get current
2206 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2207 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2209 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2211 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2212 wait for stopped processes.
2214 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2215 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2217 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2219 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2221 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2222 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2224 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2225 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2227 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2228 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2229 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2230 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2232 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2235 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2238 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2240 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2241 the debugging output.
2243 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2244 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2246 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2248 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2250 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2251 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2253 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2255 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2256 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2257 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2258 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2259 in the given sequence.
2261 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2262 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2263 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2264 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2265 subdirectories of a given directory.
2267 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2268 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2269 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2271 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2272 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2274 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2276 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2279 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2280 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2281 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2283 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2284 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2285 are calculated at runtime.
2287 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2291 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2292 about checking for global mh.profile.
2294 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2295 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2296 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2297 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2298 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2299 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2301 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2302 adding message to folder itself.
2304 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2305 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2306 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2309 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2310 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2313 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2314 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2315 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2317 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2318 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2320 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2321 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2322 code to use it yet).

2326 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2328 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2329 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2331 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2332 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2334 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2336 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2339 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2372 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2374 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2375 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2377 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2380 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2381 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2383 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2384 number of refiled message.
2386 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2388 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2389 for return value of wait().
2391 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2393 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2395 * Released nmh-0.16.

2399 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2401 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2402 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2403 deal with binary messages, yet).
2405 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2407 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2409 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2410 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2411 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2412 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2413 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2414 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2416 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2417 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2419 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2420 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2422 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2423 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2426 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2428 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2430 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2431 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2434 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2437 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2439 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2440 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2441 which used unsigned chars by default.
2443 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * Released nmh-0.15.
2447 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2452 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2454 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2457 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2458 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2459 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2461 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2462 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2464 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2466 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2467 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2469 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2470 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2471 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2472 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2474 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2475 and put in own subroutine.
2477 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2478 and put in own subroutine.
2480 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2481 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2482 refile.c to use new routine.
2484 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2486 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2488 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2491 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2492 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2493 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2495 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2498 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2499 adding message to sequence.
2501 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2502 corresponding file in sbr.
2504 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2507 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2509 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2510 all selected messages from a sequence.
2512 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2513 selected messages to a sequence.
2515 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2518 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2520 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2521 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2523 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2544 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2545 environment variable.
2547 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2548 draft folder facility in nmh.
2550 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2562 * Released nmh-0.13.
2564 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2565 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2566 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2567 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2570 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2571 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2573 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2575 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2576 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2578 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2580 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2597 mp->attrstats with macros.
2599 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2602 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2605 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2606 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2608 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2609 will suppress the display of the message header.
2611 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2613 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2614 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2616 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2618 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2620 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2622 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2623 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2625 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2626 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2628 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2630 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2632 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2633 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2635 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2636 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2638 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2640 * Released nmh-0.10.

2647 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2649 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2650 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2652 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2653 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2655 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2656 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2658 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2660 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2661 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2663 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2665 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2666 of missing tabs in regex.

2686 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2688 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2690 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2691 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2693 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2695 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2696 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2698 * Released nmh-0.08.
2700 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2701 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2702 locking database itself.
2704 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2706 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2708 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2709 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2712 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2713 rather than mmdf format.
2715 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2716 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2717 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2718 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2720 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2722 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2724 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2727 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2728 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2729 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2731 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2732 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2733 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2735 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2738 can still easily change this in config.h).
2740 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2741 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2742 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2744 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2747 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2749 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2753 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2756 * Released nmh-0.07.
2758 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2761 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2763 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2764 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2767 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2768 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2770 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2771 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2773 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2775 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2777 * Added configure check for tzset.
2779 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2781 * Released nmh-0.06.
2783 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2784 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2786 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2787 many such machines around anymore.
2789 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2790 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2792 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2793 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2795 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2797 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2798 pre-generated version if necessary.
2800 * Released nmh-0.05.
2802 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2803 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2804 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2805 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2807 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2808 be linked in one pass.
2810 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2813 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2815 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2819 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2821 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2822 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2823 become the current folder.
2825 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2827 * Released nmh-0.04.
2829 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2832 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2834 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2835 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2836 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2838 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2840 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2841 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2843 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2845 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2846 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2849 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2850 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2852 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2854 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2855 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2856 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2857 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2858 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2859 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2861 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2863 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2864 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2866 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2867 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2869 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2871 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2872 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2874 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2876 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2877 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2878 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2880 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2882 * Released nmh-0.03.
2884 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2885 .mh_sequence file existed.
2887 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2888 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2890 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2891 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2894 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2896 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2899 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2901 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2902 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2903 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2905 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2907 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2908 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2909 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2911 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2913 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2914 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2916 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2918 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2920 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2921 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2922 directory from where the source code is located.
2924 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2926 * Released nmh-0.02.

2933 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2935 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2936 and sys_nerr directly.
2938 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2942 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2944 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2946 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2947 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2948 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2949 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2950 rather than in script.
2952 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2954 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2956 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2957 macro defined on Solaris.
2959 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2961 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2962 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2964 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2965 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2966 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2967 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2970 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2972 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2973 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2975 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2978 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2980 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2982 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2983 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2985 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2987 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2988 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2990 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2992 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2993 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2994 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2995 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2996 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2997 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2999 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3001 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3003 * Released nmh-0.01.
3005 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3006 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3007 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3010 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3012 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3015 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3017 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3018 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3020 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3022 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3023 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3024 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3025 script to find_program.
3027 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3029 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3030 speed up -recurse option.
3032 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3033 yet, but it compiles :-)
3035 * Changed default location for install to
3036 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3037 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3038 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3041 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3042 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3043 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
