1 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
2 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
3 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
5 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
7 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
8 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
9 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
10 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
11 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
12 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
13 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
15 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
17 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
18 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
20 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
22 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
23 with multibyte support.
25 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
26 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
27 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
28 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
30 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
32 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
33 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
35 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
36 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
38 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
40 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
41 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
42 the address of a static array.
44 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
46 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
47 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
49 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
51 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
52 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
53 This allows users to masquerade with the default
54 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
55 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
56 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
59 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
61 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
62 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
63 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
64 ruserpass() has a void return type.
66 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
67 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
68 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
69 provide memmove() substitute implementation
71 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
72 source directory' feature
74 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
75 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
77 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
79 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
80 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
81 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
84 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
86 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
87 is the wrong approach.
89 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
90 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
91 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
94 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
95 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
96 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
97 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
98 broken for continued lines from the server.
100 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
102 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
103 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
105 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
107 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
109 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
112 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
114 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
116 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
118 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
119 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
120 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
121 obsolete feature of autoconf
123 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
125 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
126 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
127 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
129 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
131 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
132 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
134 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
136 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
139 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
141 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
142 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
143 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
144 following done() (should never be reached).
146 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
148 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
149 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
151 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
153 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
154 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
156 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
158 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
159 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
160 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
161 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
162 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
163 acconfig.h if you must.
165 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
167 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
168 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
169 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
170 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
172 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
174 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
177 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
179 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
180 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
181 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
182 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
183 have Content-Disposition.
185 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
187 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
190 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
192 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
193 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
195 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
197 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
198 encoded block is empty
200 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
202 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
203 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
204 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
207 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
209 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
210 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
213 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
215 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
216 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
217 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
218 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
221 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
222 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
224 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
226 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
227 function num_digits into utils.c
229 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
231 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
232 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
233 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
235 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
237 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
238 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
239 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
240 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
241 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
242 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
243 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
244 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
246 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
248 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
249 Content-Disposition header.
251 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
253 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
254 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
255 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
256 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
257 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
258 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
259 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
260 users to easily accomodate that by adding
261 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
263 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
265 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
266 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
268 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
270 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
272 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
273 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
275 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
276 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
278 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
280 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
281 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
282 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
283 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
284 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
287 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
289 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
290 widths, restoring right justification feature
292 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
294 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
295 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
296 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
298 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
301 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
303 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
304 handling multi column characters.
306 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
308 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
310 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
312 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
313 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
316 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
318 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
320 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
322 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
325 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
327 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
330 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
332 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
333 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
334 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
335 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
337 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
339 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
340 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
341 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
342 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
343 where configure's autodetection fails.
345 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
347 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
348 configure script change.
350 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
352 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
353 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
354 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
357 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
359 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
360 the context is only read once.
362 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
364 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
365 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
367 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
369 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
370 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
372 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
373 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
376 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
377 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
380 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
382 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
383 vi isn't found during build.
385 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
387 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
388 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
390 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
391 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
392 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
394 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
396 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
397 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
399 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
400 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
401 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
402 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
405 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
406 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
407 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
409 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
410 entry in the context file.
412 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
414 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
415 problems on some systems
417 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
418 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
420 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
422 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
423 sendmail isn't found during build.
425 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
427 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
429 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
431 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
432 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
434 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
435 references to the web page and mailing list locations
437 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
438 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
440 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
443 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
445 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
446 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
447 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
449 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
450 was configured with --enable-apop.
452 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
453 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
454 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
456 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
457 new versions of flex.
459 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
460 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
461 doesn't guess wrongly.
463 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
465 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
466 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
468 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
469 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
471 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
472 files with numbers as names
474 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
476 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
478 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
480 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
482 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
483 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
485 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
487 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
490 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
491 test/report error writing to stdout
493 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
495 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
497 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
498 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
499 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
501 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
502 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
503 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
505 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
507 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
508 character set used by the current locale
510 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
511 message's filename overflows an int when converted
513 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
514 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
516 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
518 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
521 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
523 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
524 from Michael Richardson.
526 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
527 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
529 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
531 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
532 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
534 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
536 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
537 find sub-parts of the specified part
539 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
541 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
542 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
543 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
544 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
545 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
546 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
547 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
550 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
552 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
553 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
554 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
557 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
558 refiling with -src option.
560 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
562 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
564 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
566 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
567 mailpath being overwritten.
569 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
571 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
572 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
573 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
574 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
575 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
576 reinitializes the tmp file string.
578 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
579 if a format string was read from the profile.
581 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
582 path for the external hook.
584 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
586 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
587 another location for ndbm.
589 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
591 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
593 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
595 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
598 136976 - Handle binary content messages
599 143427 - mh-format.man typo
600 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
601 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
602 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
603 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
604 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
605 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
606 181867 - typo for nmh.man
608 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
610 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
611 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
612 contitional code which will result in cached data to
613 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
614 and parse on the first use.
615 * Remove some unused flag bits.
617 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
619 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
620 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
622 #578 - repl leaks umask
623 #1393 - sortm core dumps
624 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
625 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
626 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
628 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
629 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
631 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
633 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
634 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
636 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
638 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
639 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
640 to docs/README.about.
642 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
644 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
646 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
647 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
648 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
649 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
652 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
654 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
655 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
656 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
657 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
658 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
659 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
662 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
663 summary configure prints out.
665 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
666 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
667 subjectively more readable) format.
669 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
671 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
674 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
676 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
677 19xx when it's not necessary.
679 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
681 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
682 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
685 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
686 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
687 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
688 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
689 the man pages correctly.
691 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
693 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
695 * Finished manpages ali-prev
697 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
698 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
699 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
702 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
703 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
704 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
705 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
707 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
709 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
710 the formatting rules I've been using.
714 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
716 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
717 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
718 used in the manpages.
720 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
721 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
722 read in the contents of the file as the variable
725 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
726 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
727 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
728 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
729 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
730 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
731 bold flags and italicized parameters.
733 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
735 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
736 --with-locking option.
738 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
739 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
740 information was not being communicated to the
741 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
742 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
743 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
744 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
745 undefined symbols problems.
747 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
748 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
749 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
750 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
751 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
752 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
753 for a genuine krb4 installation.
755 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
757 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
758 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
760 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
762 * Made a new ./configure option called
763 "--with-locking" that allows the file
764 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
765 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
767 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
768 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
769 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
770 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
771 the user that these are the valid options, and
772 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
775 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
777 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
778 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
779 committed to supporting flex only, since
780 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
781 string, as well as other problems documented
782 below and on nmh-workers.
784 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
785 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
786 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
789 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
790 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
792 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
794 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
795 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
796 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
798 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
800 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
801 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
803 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
805 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
806 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
807 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
808 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
809 couldn't correctly identify them.
811 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
813 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
814 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
815 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
816 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
817 not depending on an external archive.
819 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
820 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
821 mts/generic is no longer built.
823 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
825 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
826 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
827 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
828 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
829 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
830 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
831 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
832 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
834 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
836 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
837 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
840 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
842 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
843 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
844 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
847 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
848 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
849 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
850 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
852 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
853 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
854 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
855 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
856 merged into the smtp code).
858 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
859 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
860 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
863 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
864 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
865 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
866 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
867 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
868 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
869 in the appropriate Makefile.in
871 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
873 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
874 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
875 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
876 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
877 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
878 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
879 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
880 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
881 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
882 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
883 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
885 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
887 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
888 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
889 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
890 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
891 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
892 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
893 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
894 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
895 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
897 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
899 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
900 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
903 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
905 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
906 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
908 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
910 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
911 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
912 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
913 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
915 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
917 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
918 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
919 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
920 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
921 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
923 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
924 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
926 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
928 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
930 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
931 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
932 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
933 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
935 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
936 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
937 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
938 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
940 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
941 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
942 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
943 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
945 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
946 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
947 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
949 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
951 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
952 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
953 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
954 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
955 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
956 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
959 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
960 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
962 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
963 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
965 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
967 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
969 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
971 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
972 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
973 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
974 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
976 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
978 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
979 be easily changed from "," to "#".
981 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
983 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
985 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
986 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
989 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
991 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
992 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
993 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
994 but not for the subsequent data stream.
996 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
998 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
999 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1000 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1001 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1002 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1004 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1006 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1007 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1009 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1010 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1012 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1014 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1016 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1017 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1018 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1020 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1022 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1025 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1026 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1028 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1030 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1031 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1033 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1035 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1036 inc does not need to be setgid.
1038 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1040 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1041 library, as found on Debian systems.
1043 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1045 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1047 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1048 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1049 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1050 case-insensitivity flag.
1052 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1054 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1055 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1057 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1059 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1060 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1061 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1062 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1063 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1064 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1065 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1066 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1067 getting moved aside).
1069 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1070 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1072 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1074 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1075 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1076 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1077 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1078 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1079 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1080 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1081 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1082 the prototype, but never sets it.
1084 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1085 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1086 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1087 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1088 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1089 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1091 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1092 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1093 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1094 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1095 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1097 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1099 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1100 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1103 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1104 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1105 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1106 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1107 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1108 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1109 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1111 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1113 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1115 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1116 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1117 this works on other systems.
1119 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1121 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1122 checks for write failures.
1124 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1126 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1128 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1131 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1133 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1135 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1137 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1138 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1141 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1143 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1144 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1145 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1146 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1148 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1150 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1151 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1154 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1155 as well as Makefiles.
1157 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1159 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1160 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1161 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1162 should make maintainability easier.
1164 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1165 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1166 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1167 whatever you know works.
1169 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1171 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1172 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1173 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1175 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1176 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1177 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1178 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1180 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1181 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1182 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1184 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1185 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1186 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1187 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1188 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1190 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1191 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1192 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1193 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1194 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1195 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1196 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1197 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1198 from the BSD version.
1200 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1201 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1202 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1204 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1205 in ruserpass.c also.
1207 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1210 This happens on solaris:
1213 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1214 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1218 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1220 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1221 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1223 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1225 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1226 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1227 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1228 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1229 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1230 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1231 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1232 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1233 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1234 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1235 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1237 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1238 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1239 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1240 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1241 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1242 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1245 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1246 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1247 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1248 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1249 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1251 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1252 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1254 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1256 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1257 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1258 to stdin, such as exmh.
1260 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1261 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1262 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1265 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1267 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1268 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1269 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1270 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1271 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1272 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1273 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1275 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1277 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1278 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1280 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1282 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1283 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1285 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1287 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1290 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1291 along with any -host or -user option.
1293 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1295 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1297 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1298 process was fresh in my mind.
1300 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1302 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1303 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1305 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1307 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1309 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1312 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1313 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1314 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1315 part of the program's name.
1317 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1318 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1321 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1323 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1324 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1325 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1326 single-character format would cause programs using this
1327 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1328 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1329 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1330 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1333 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1335 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1336 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1337 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1338 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1339 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1340 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1342 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1343 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1344 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1345 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1346 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1347 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1348 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1349 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1351 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1352 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1353 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1354 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1355 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1356 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1357 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1358 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1359 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1360 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1362 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1364 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1365 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1367 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1368 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1370 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1375 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1377 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1378 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1379 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1380 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1382 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1383 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1384 problem in the routine.
1386 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1388 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1389 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1391 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1392 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1393 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1396 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1398 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1399 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1400 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1401 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1402 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1403 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1404 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1405 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1406 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1407 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1409 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1411 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1412 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1413 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1414 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1415 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1416 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1417 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1418 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1419 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1420 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1421 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1422 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1424 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1425 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1426 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1427 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1428 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1430 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1433 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1435 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1436 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1437 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1438 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1441 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1443 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1445 * Applied, after some finessing,
1446 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1448 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1450 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1452 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1453 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1454 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1455 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1457 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1459 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1460 forgetting to do so!).
1462 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1463 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1464 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1465 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1466 arguments to enable all three types.
1468 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1469 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1471 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1472 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1473 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1474 updated copy of mts.conf.
1476 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1478 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1479 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1480 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1482 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1484 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1486 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1487 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1488 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1490 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1491 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1492 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1494 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1495 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1496 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1498 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1500 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1502 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1504 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1506 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1507 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1509 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1510 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1511 certain suffix to run properly.
1513 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1514 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1515 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1517 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1518 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1519 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1520 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1521 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1522 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1523 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1525 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1527 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1528 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1529 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1530 until some year far in the future).
1532 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1534 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1536 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1537 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1539 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1540 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1543 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1545 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1546 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1547 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1548 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1549 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1550 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1552 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1554 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1556 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1557 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1558 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1560 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1561 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1562 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1563 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1564 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1565 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1568 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1569 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1570 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1571 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1572 of masquerading individually.
1574 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1575 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1576 GECOS field delimiters.
1578 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1580 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1581 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1582 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1583 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1584 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1585 and explaining the feature.
1587 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1589 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1590 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1593 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1594 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1595 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1597 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1598 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1599 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1600 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1602 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1603 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1604 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1607 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1609 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1610 code to be executed.
1612 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1614 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1616 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1617 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1618 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1619 quotes embedded in them.
1621 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1623 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1624 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1625 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1626 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1627 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1628 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1629 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1632 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1633 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1634 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1635 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1636 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1638 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1640 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1642 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1643 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1644 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1645 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1647 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1650 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1652 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1654 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1656 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1657 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1658 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1660 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1663 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1665 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1666 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1667 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1668 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1669 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1670 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1672 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1673 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1675 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1677 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1680 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1682 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1683 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1684 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1687 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1688 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1689 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1690 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1691 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1692 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1693 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1694 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1695 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1696 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1697 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1698 processing that post has).
1700 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1702 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1703 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1704 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1705 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1706 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1707 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1710 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1712 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1714 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1716 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1718 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1719 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1721 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1724 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1726 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1727 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1728 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1731 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1733 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1734 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1735 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1736 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1737 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1738 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1740 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1742 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1744 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1746 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1747 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1748 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1749 caught again. This works for now.
1751 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1753 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1755 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1756 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1758 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1760 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1761 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1763 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1765 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1767 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1769 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1770 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1772 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1774 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1775 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1776 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1777 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1778 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1781 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1783 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1784 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1785 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1787 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1788 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1791 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1793 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1794 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1795 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1797 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1799 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1800 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1802 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1804 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1807 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1808 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1810 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1811 macros, regardless of platform.
1813 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1814 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1816 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1817 with x-conversions=gzip.
1819 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1821 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1824 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1825 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1826 implicit definition of ioctl().
1828 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1829 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1830 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1831 want to mess with them.
1833 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1835 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1836 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1838 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1839 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1841 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1842 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1843 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1845 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1846 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1847 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1849 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1850 function initgroups.
1852 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1855 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1856 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1859 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1860 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1863 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1864 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1868 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1870 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1871 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1872 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1874 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1875 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1877 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1879 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1881 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1882 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1883 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1884 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1886 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1887 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1889 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1891 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1893 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1895 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1896 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1898 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1900 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1901 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1903 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1904 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1905 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1906 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1908 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1909 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1911 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1913 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1914 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1916 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1918 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1919 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1922 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1924 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1926 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1928 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1929 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1931 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1932 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1933 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1935 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1936 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1937 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1939 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1940 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1941 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1943 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1944 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1947 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1948 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1950 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1951 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1953 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1954 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1956 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1957 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1958 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1960 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1961 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1963 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1964 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1965 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1967 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1968 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1971 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1972 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1974 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1975 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1976 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1977 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1979 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1980 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1982 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1986 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1987 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1988 would not be changed.
1990 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1991 one from the Apache web server.
1993 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1994 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1996 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1997 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1998 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2000 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2002 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2004 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2005 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2008 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2009 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2010 removes a bad race condition.
2012 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2015 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2016 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2017 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2019 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2020 sequence information.
2022 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2023 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2025 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2028 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2031 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2033 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2034 interpret 034 as octal.
2036 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2038 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2039 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2041 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2042 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2044 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2045 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2047 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2048 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2050 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2051 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2053 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2054 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2055 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2057 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2058 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2059 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2061 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2063 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2065 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2066 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2069 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2071 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2072 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2074 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2075 header field information.
2077 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2078 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2080 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2081 values when parsing a content.
2083 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2084 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2086 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2087 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2089 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2090 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2092 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2093 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2095 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2097 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2099 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2101 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2103 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2104 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2107 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2108 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2110 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2111 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2112 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2113 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2114 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2115 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2118 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2120 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2121 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2122 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2124 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2125 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2127 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2129 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2130 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2131 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2132 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2134 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2135 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2138 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2139 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2140 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2141 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2144 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2146 * Released nmh-0.27.
2148 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2149 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2151 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2152 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2153 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2154 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2157 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2158 mhbuild returns an error.
2160 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2161 rename the draft file.
2163 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2164 use a global variable.
2166 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2167 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2169 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2170 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2172 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2173 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2174 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2176 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2177 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2179 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2180 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2183 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2184 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2187 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2188 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2190 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2191 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2192 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2194 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2195 to new function output_content_folder.
2197 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2198 new function output_content_file.
2200 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2201 to new function parse_format_string.
2203 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2204 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2205 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2206 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2208 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2209 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2210 message/external file from ftp.
2212 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2213 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2214 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2216 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2217 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2220 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2223 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2224 new file mhstoresbr.c
2226 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2229 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2230 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2232 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2233 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2235 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2236 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2237 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2239 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2241 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2243 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2244 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2247 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2248 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2250 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2253 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2255 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2257 * Released nmh-0.26.
2259 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2260 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2261 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2262 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2264 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2265 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2266 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2267 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2268 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2270 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2271 But it is not on by default.
2273 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2274 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2276 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2278 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2280 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2282 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2284 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2285 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2287 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2289 * Released nmh-0.25.
2291 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2292 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2293 uses the original name of the library.
2295 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2296 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2299 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2300 list_content and list_debug.
2302 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2304 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2305 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2307 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2309 * Released nmh-0.24.
2311 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2313 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2314 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2316 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2317 large sequence line.
2319 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2321 * Released nmh-0.23.
2323 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2325 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2326 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2327 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2328 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2330 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2331 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2334 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2336 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2338 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2340 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2341 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2343 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2344 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2346 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2347 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2349 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2350 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2352 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2354 * Released nmh-0.22.
2356 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2357 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2359 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2361 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2362 mh-profile(5) man page.
2364 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2365 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2367 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2369 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2371 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2372 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2374 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2376 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2377 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2378 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2380 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2381 source message on the standard input.
2383 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2385 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2386 rather than -rfc934mode.
2388 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2389 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2392 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2393 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2395 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2398 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2400 * Released nmh-0.21.
2402 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2403 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2405 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2408 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2409 to use for text contents.
2411 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2413 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2415 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2417 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2419 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2420 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2422 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2423 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2424 spaces between encoded word are.
2426 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2428 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2429 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2431 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2432 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2433 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2435 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2437 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2438 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2440 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2442 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2444 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2445 ISO-8859-X character set.
2447 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2450 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2451 permissions, not write permissions.
2453 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2454 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2456 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2459 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2461 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2463 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2464 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2466 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2467 message contains valid character set.
2469 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2470 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2472 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2473 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2475 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2476 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2477 between an encoded word and normal text.
2479 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2480 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2482 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2483 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2485 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2488 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2489 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2492 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2493 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2495 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2496 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2498 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2500 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2502 * Released nmh-0.20.
2504 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2506 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2508 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2509 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2510 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2512 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2513 and the To: line was missing.
2515 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2517 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2519 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2521 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2522 watch the POP transaction.
2524 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2525 first, and use it if available.
2527 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2528 first, and use it if available.
2530 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2532 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2534 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2535 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2536 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2539 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2540 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2541 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2543 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2544 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2547 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2549 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2550 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2552 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2554 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2555 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2557 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2558 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2559 message to which you are replying.
2561 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2562 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2563 making group replies.
2565 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2567 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2569 * Released nmh-0.19.
2571 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2572 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2574 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2575 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2576 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2577 to the end of the man page.
2579 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2580 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2581 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2582 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2583 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2584 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2586 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2589 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2590 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2591 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2593 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2594 the next available number above the message number you wish
2597 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2598 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2600 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2601 file sbr/seq_print.c
2603 * flist will now update the current folder.
2605 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2606 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2607 but now undocumented.
2609 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2612 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2613 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2615 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2617 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2618 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2620 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2622 * Released nmh-0.18.
2624 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2625 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2626 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2628 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2629 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2631 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2632 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2633 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2634 previous public/private status.
2636 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2639 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2642 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2643 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2644 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2646 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2647 take option to determine whether it should get current
2648 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2649 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2651 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2653 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2654 wait for stopped processes.
2656 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2657 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2659 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2661 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2663 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2664 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2666 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2667 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2669 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2670 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2671 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2672 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2674 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2677 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2680 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2682 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2683 the debugging output.
2685 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2686 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2688 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2690 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2692 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2693 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2695 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2697 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2698 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2699 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2700 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2701 in the given sequence.
2703 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2704 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2705 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2706 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2707 subdirectories of a given directory.
2709 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2710 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2711 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2713 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2714 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2716 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2718 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2721 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2722 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2723 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2725 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2726 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2727 are calculated at runtime.
2729 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2731 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2733 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2734 about checking for global mh.profile.
2736 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2737 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2738 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2739 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2740 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2741 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2743 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2744 adding message to folder itself.
2746 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2747 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2748 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2751 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2752 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2755 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2756 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2757 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2759 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2760 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2762 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2763 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2764 code to use it yet).
2766 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2768 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2770 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2771 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2773 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2774 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2776 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2778 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2781 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2785 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2787 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2789 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2790 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2814 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2816 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2817 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2819 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2822 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2823 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2825 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2826 number of refiled message.
2828 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2830 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2831 for return value of wait().

2841 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2843 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2844 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2845 deal with binary messages, yet).
2847 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2849 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2851 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2852 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2853 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2854 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2855 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2856 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2858 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2859 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2861 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2862 From MH-6.8.4 patch.

2873 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2876 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2879 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2881 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

2887 * Released nmh-0.15.
2889 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2894 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2896 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2899 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2900 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2901 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2903 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2904 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2906 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2908 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2909 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2911 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2912 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2913 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2914 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2916 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2917 and put in own subroutine.
2919 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2920 and put in own subroutine.
2922 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2923 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2924 refile.c to use new routine.

2928 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2930 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2933 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2934 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2935 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2937 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2940 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

2955 selected messages to a sequence.
2957 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2960 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2962 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2963 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2965 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2967 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

3004 * Released nmh-0.13.
3006 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3007 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3008 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3009 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3012 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3013 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3015 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3017 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3018 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3020 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3022 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

3047 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3048 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).

3051 will suppress the display of the message header.
3053 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3055 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3056 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3058 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3060 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3062 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

3065 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3067 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3068 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3070 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3072 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3074 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3075 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3077 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3078 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3080 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3082 * Released nmh-0.10.

3092 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3094 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3095 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3097 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3098 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.

3102 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3103 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3105 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3107 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3135 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3137 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3138 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3140 * Released nmh-0.08.
3142 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3143 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3144 locking database itself.

3148 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3150 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3151 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3154 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3155 rather than mmdf format.
3157 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3158 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3159 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3160 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3162 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3164 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3166 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3169 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3170 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3171 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3173 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3174 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3175 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3177 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3179 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3180 can still easily change this in config.h).
3182 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3183 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3184 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3186 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3188 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3203 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3205 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3206 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3209 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3210 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3213 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3215 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3217 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3219 * Added configure check for tzset.

3223 * Released nmh-0.06.
3225 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3226 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3228 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3229 many such machines around anymore.
3231 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3232 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3234 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3235 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3237 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3240 pre-generated version if necessary.
3242 * Released nmh-0.05.
3244 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3245 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3246 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3247 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3249 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3250 be linked in one pass.
3252 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3254 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3255 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3257 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3259 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3261 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3263 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3264 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3265 become the current folder.
3267 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3269 * Released nmh-0.04.

3274 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3276 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3277 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3278 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3280 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3282 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3283 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3285 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3287 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3288 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3291 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3292 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3294 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3296 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3297 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3298 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3299 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3300 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3301 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3303 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3305 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3306 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3308 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3309 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3311 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3313 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3314 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3316 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3318 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3319 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3320 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3322 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3324 * Released nmh-0.03.
3326 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3327 .mh_sequence file existed.
3329 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3330 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3332 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3333 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3336 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3338 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3341 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3343 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3344 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3345 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3347 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3349 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3350 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3351 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3353 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3355 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3356 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3358 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3360 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3362 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3363 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3364 directory from where the source code is located.
3366 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3368 * Released nmh-0.02.

3378 and sys_nerr directly.
3380 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3382 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3384 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3386 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3388 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3389 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3390 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3391 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3392 rather than in script.
3394 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3396 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3398 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3399 macro defined on Solaris.
3401 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3403 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3404 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3406 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3407 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3408 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3409 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3412 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3414 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3415 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3417 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3420 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3422 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3424 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3425 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3427 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3429 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3430 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3432 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3434 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3435 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3436 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3437 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3438 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3439 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3441 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3443 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3445 * Released nmh-0.01.
3447 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3448 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3449 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3452 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3454 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3457 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3459 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3460 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3462 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3464 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3465 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3466 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3467 script to find_program.
3469 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3471 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3472 speed up -recurse option.
3474 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3475 yet, but it compiles :-)
3477 * Changed default location for install to
3478 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3479 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3480 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3483 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3484 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3485 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
