1 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
3 * Applied, after some finessing,
4 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
6 Here's a patch that allows you to add
8 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
10 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
11 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
12 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
13 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
15 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
17 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
18 forgetting to do so!).
20 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
21 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
22 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
23 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
24 arguments to enable all three types.
26 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
27 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
29 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
30 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
31 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
32 updated copy of mts.conf.
34 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
36 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
37 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
38 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
40 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
42 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
44 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
45 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
46 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
48 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
50 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
52 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
54 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
56 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
57 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
59 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
60 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
61 certain suffix to run properly.
63 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
64 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
65 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
67 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
68 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
69 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
70 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
71 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
72 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
73 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
75 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
77 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
78 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
79 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
80 until some year far in the future).
82 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
84 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
86 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
87 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
89 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
90 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
93 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
95 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
96 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
97 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
98 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
99 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
100 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
102 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
104 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
106 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
107 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
108 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
110 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
111 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
112 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
113 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
114 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
115 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
118 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
119 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
120 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
121 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
122 of masquerading individually.
124 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
125 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
126 GECOS field delimiters.
128 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
130 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
131 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
132 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
133 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
134 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
135 and explaining the feature.
137 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
139 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
140 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
143 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
144 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
145 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
147 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
148 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
149 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
150 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
152 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
153 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
154 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
157 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
159 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
162 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
164 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
166 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
167 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
168 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
169 quotes embedded in them.
171 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
173 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
174 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
175 the -help output. I guess the idea was to make reference to the
176 fact that clearly you know about the -help option since you're
177 currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea to
178 overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
179 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
180 allowed to specify. It doesn't make sense to show that you're
181 allowed to "abbreviate" the switch to its entire length.
183 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
185 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
187 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
188 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
189 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
190 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
192 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
195 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
197 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
199 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
201 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
202 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
203 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
205 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
208 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
210 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. It passed an
211 octal constant to atoi(), which interpreted it as decimal,
212 resulting in directories with no user read or execute permissions,
213 making nested directory creation fail. Also, when creating a
214 nested directory, correct permissions were only set on the inner one.
216 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
217 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
219 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
221 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
224 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
226 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
227 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
228 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
231 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
232 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
233 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
234 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
235 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
236 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
237 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
238 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
239 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
240 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
241 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
242 processing that post has).
244 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
246 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
247 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
248 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
249 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
250 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
251 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
254 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
256 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
258 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
260 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
262 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
263 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
265 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
268 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
270 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
271 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
272 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
275 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
277 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
278 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
279 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
280 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
281 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
282 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
284 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
286 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
288 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
290 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
291 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
292 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
293 caught again. This works for now.
295 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
297 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
299 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
300 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
302 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
304 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
305 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
307 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
309 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
311 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
313 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
314 changes. Both need more cleanup.
316 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
318 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
319 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
320 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
321 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
322 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
325 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
327 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
328 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
329 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
331 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
332 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
335 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
337 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
338 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
339 to a directory on another device with more free space.
341 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
343 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
344 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
346 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
348 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
351 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
352 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
354 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
355 macros, regardless of platform.
357 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
358 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
360 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
361 with x-conversions=gzip.
363 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
365 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
368 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
369 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
370 implicit definition of ioctl().
372 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
373 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
374 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
375 want to mess with them.
377 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
379 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
380 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
382 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
383 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
385 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
386 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
387 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
389 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
390 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
391 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
393 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
396 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
399 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
400 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
403 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
404 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
407 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
408 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
412 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
414 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
415 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
416 preventing compilation on at least linux.
418 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
419 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
421 Thu Sep 9 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
423 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
425 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
426 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
427 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
428 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
430 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
431 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
433 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
435 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
437 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
439 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
440 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
442 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
444 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
445 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
447 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
448 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
449 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
450 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
452 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
453 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
455 Sat Jun 9 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
457 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
458 substitute it for mktemp if available.
460 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
462 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
463 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
466 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
468 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
470 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
472 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
473 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
475 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
476 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
477 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
479 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
480 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
481 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
483 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
484 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
485 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
487 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
488 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
491 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
492 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
494 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
495 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
497 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
500 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
501 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
502 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
504 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
505 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
507 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
508 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
509 <elleron@servtech.com>.
511 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
512 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
515 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
516 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
518 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
519 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
520 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
521 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
523 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
524 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
526 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
530 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
531 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
532 would not be changed.
534 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
535 one from the Apache web server.
537 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
538 (this should have been done a long time ago).
540 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
541 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
542 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
544 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
546 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
548 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
549 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
552 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
553 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
554 removes a bad race condition.
556 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
559 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
560 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
561 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
563 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
564 sequence information.
566 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
567 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
569 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
572 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
575 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
577 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
578 interpret 034 as octal.
580 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
582 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
583 mhstore, and mhbuild.
585 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
586 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
588 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
589 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
591 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
592 in the c_cefile structure when building.
594 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
595 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
597 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
598 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
599 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
601 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
602 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
603 and mhshow. Updated man pages
605 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
607 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
609 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
610 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
613 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
615 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
616 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
618 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
619 header field information.
621 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
622 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
624 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
625 values when parsing a content.
627 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
628 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
630 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
631 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
633 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
634 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
636 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
637 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
639 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
641 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
643 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
645 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
647 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
648 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
651 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
652 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
654 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
655 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
656 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
657 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
658 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
659 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
662 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
664 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
665 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
666 buffer length checks for this parameter.
668 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
669 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
671 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
673 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
674 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
675 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
676 of the limits on the length of command lines.
678 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
679 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
682 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
683 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
684 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
685 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
688 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
692 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
693 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
695 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
696 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
697 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
698 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
701 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
702 mhbuild returns an error.
704 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
705 rename the draft file.
707 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
708 use a global variable.
710 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
711 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
713 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
714 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
716 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
717 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
718 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
720 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
721 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
723 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
724 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
727 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
728 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
731 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
732 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
734 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
735 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
736 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
738 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
739 to new function output_content_folder.
741 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
742 new function output_content_file.
744 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
745 to new function parse_format_string.
747 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
748 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
749 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
750 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
752 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
753 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
754 message/external file from ftp.
756 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
757 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
758 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
760 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
761 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
764 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
767 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
768 new file mhstoresbr.c
770 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
773 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
774 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
776 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
777 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
779 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
780 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
781 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
783 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
785 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
787 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
788 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
791 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
792 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
794 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
797 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
799 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
803 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
804 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
805 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
806 is still the same (dashstuffing).
808 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
809 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
810 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
811 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
812 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
814 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
815 But it is not on by default.
817 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
818 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
820 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
822 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
824 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
826 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
828 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
829 number of the "cur" message when packing.
831 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
835 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
836 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
837 uses the original name of the library.
839 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
840 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
843 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
844 list_content and list_debug.
846 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
848 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
849 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
851 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
855 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
857 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
858 are given, that order doesn't matter.
860 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
863 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
867 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
869 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
870 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
871 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
872 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
874 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
875 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
878 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
880 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
882 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
884 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
885 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
887 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
888 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
890 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
891 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
893 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
894 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
896 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
900 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
901 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
903 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
905 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
906 mh-profile(5) man page.
908 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
909 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
911 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
913 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
915 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
916 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
918 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
920 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
921 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
922 entry point for parsing MIME files.
924 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
925 source message on the standard input.
927 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
929 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
930 rather than -rfc934mode.
932 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
933 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
936 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
937 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
939 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
942 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
946 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
947 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
949 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
952 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
953 to use for text contents.
955 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
957 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
959 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
961 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
963 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
964 header fields as per RFC-2047.
966 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
967 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
968 spaces between encoded word are.
970 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
972 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
973 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
975 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
976 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
977 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
979 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
981 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
982 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
984 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
986 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
988 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
989 ISO-8859-X character set.
991 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
994 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
995 permissions, not write permissions.
997 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
998 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1000 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1003 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1005 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1007 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1008 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1010 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1011 message contains valid character set.
1013 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1014 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1016 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1017 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1019 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1020 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1021 between an encoded word and normal text.
1023 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1024 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1026 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1027 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1029 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1032 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1033 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1036 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1037 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1039 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1040 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1042 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1044 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1046 * Released nmh-0.20.
1048 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1050 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1052 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1053 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1054 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1056 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1057 and the To: line was missing.
1059 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1061 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1063 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1065 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1066 watch the POP transaction.
1068 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1069 first, and use it if available.
1071 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1072 first, and use it if available.
1074 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1076 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1078 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1079 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1080 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1083 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1084 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1085 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1087 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1088 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1091 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1093 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1094 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1096 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1098 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1099 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1101 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1102 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1103 message to which you are replying.
1105 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1106 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1107 making group replies.
1109 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1111 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1113 * Released nmh-0.19.
1115 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1116 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1118 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1119 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1120 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1121 to the end of the man page.
1123 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1124 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1125 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1126 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1127 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1128 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1130 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1133 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1134 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1135 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1137 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1138 the next available number above the message number you wish
1141 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1142 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1144 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1145 file sbr/seq_print.c
1147 * flist will now update the current folder.
1149 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1150 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1151 but now undocumented.
1153 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1156 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1157 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1159 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1161 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1162 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1164 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1166 * Released nmh-0.18.
1168 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1169 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1170 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1172 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1173 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1175 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1176 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1177 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1178 previous public/private status.
1180 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1183 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1186 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1187 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1188 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1190 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1191 take option to determine whether it should get current
1192 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1193 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1195 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1197 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1198 wait for stopped processes.
1200 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1201 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1203 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1205 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1207 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1208 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1210 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1211 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1213 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1214 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1215 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1216 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1218 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1221 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1224 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1226 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1227 the debugging output.
1229 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1230 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1232 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1234 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1236 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1237 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1239 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1241 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1242 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1243 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1244 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1245 in the given sequence.
1247 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1248 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1249 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1250 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1251 subdirectories of a given directory.
1253 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1254 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1255 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1257 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1258 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1260 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1262 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1265 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1266 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1267 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1269 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1270 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1271 are calculated at runtime.
1273 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1283 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1284 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1285 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1287 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1288 adding message to folder itself.
1290 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1291 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1292 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1295 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1296 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1299 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1300 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1301 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1303 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1304 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1306 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1307 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1308 code to use it yet).

1318 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1320 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1322 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c

1358 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1360 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1361 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1363 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1366 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1367 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1369 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1370 number of refiled message.
1372 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1374 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1375 for return value of wait().
1377 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1379 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1381 * Released nmh-0.16.

1385 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1387 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1388 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1389 deal with binary messages, yet).
1391 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1393 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1395 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1396 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1397 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1398 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1399 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1400 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1402 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1403 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1405 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1406 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1408 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1409 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1412 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1414 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

1417 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1420 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1423 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1425 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1426 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1427 which used unsigned chars by default.

1431 * Released nmh-0.15.
1433 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1438 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1440 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1443 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1444 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1445 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1447 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1448 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1450 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1452 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1453 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1455 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1456 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1457 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1458 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1460 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1461 and put in own subroutine.
1463 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1464 and put in own subroutine.
1466 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1467 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1468 refile.c to use new routine.
1470 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1472 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1474 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1477 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1478 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1479 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1481 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1484 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1485 adding message to sequence.
1487 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1488 corresponding file in sbr.
1490 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1493 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.

1496 all selected messages from a sequence.
1498 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
1499 selected messages to a sequence.
1501 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1504 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1506 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
1507 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
1509 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1511 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

1530 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
1531 environment variable.
1533 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
1534 draft folder facility in nmh.
1536 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

1548 * Released nmh-0.13.
1550 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1551 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1552 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1553 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1556 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1557 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1559 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1561 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1562 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1564 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1566 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

1588 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
1591 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1592 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1594 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1595 will suppress the display of the message header.
1597 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1599 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1600 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1602 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1604 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1606 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1608 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1609 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1611 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1612 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1614 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1616 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1618 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1619 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1621 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1622 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
1624 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1626 * Released nmh-0.10.

1633 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1635 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
1636 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1638 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1639 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1641 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
1642 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
1644 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1646 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
1647 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1649 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1651 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
1652 of missing tabs in regex.

1672 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1674 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
1676 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
1677 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
1679 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1681 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1682 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1684 * Released nmh-0.08.
1686 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1687 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1688 locking database itself.
1690 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1692 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1694 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1695 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1698 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1699 rather than mmdf format.
1701 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1702 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1703 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1704 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1706 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1708 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1710 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1713 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1714 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1715 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1717 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1718 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1719 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
1721 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1723 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1724 can still easily change this in config.h).
1726 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1727 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1728 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1730 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1732 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
1733 than tzset and external timezone variable.
1735 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1737 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
1739 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
1742 * Released nmh-0.07.
1744 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1746 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
1747 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1749 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1750 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1753 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1754 built-in FTP client in mhn.
1756 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
1757 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
1759 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
1761 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
1763 * Added configure check for tzset.
1765 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1767 * Released nmh-0.06.
1769 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1770 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1772 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1773 many such machines around anymore.
1775 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1776 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1778 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1779 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
1781 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1783 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
1784 pre-generated version if necessary.
1786 * Released nmh-0.05.
1788 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
1789 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
1790 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
1791 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
1793 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
1794 be linked in one pass.
1796 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1798 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
1799 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
1801 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1803 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
1805 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1807 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
1808 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
1809 become the current folder.
1811 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1813 * Released nmh-0.04.
1815 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
1818 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1820 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
1821 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
1822 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
1824 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
1827 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
1829 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1831 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
1832 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
1835 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
1836 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
1838 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1840 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
1841 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
1842 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
1843 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
1844 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
1845 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
1847 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1849 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
1850 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
1852 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
1853 a file (currently need to specify full path).
1855 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1857 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
1858 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
1860 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1862 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
1863 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
1864 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
1866 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1868 * Released nmh-0.03.
1870 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
1871 .mh_sequence file existed.
1873 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
1874 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
1876 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
1877 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
1880 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1882 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
1885 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1887 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
1888 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
1889 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
1891 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1893 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
1894 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
1895 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
1897 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1899 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
1900 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
1902 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
1904 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1906 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
1907 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
1908 directory from where the source code is located.
1910 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1912 * Released nmh-0.02.
1914 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1919 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1921 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
1922 and sys_nerr directly.
1924 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1926 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.

1930 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1932 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
1933 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
1934 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
1935 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
1936 rather than in script.
1938 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1940 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
1942 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
1943 macro defined on Solaris.
1945 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1947 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
1948 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
1950 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
1951 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
1952 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
1953 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
1956 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1958 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
1959 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
1961 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
1964 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1966 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
1968 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
1969 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
1971 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1973 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
1974 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
1976 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1978 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
1979 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
1980 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
1981 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
1982 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
1983 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
1985 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1987 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
1989 * Released nmh-0.01.
1991 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
1992 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
1993 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
1996 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1998 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2001 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2003 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2004 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2006 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2008 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2009 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2010 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2011 script to find_program.
2013 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2015 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2016 speed up -recurse option.
2018 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2019 yet, but it compiles :-)
2021 * Changed default location for install to
2022 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2023 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2024 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2027 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2028 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2029 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
