3 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
4 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
6 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
7 references to the web page and mailing list locations
9 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
10 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
12 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
15 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
17 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
18 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
19 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
21 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
22 was configured with --enable-apop.
24 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
25 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
26 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
28 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
31 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
32 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
33 doesn't guess wrongly.
35 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
37 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
38 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
40 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
41 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
43 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
44 files with numbers as names
46 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
48 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
50 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
52 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
54 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
55 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
57 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
59 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
62 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
63 test/report error writing to stdout
65 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
67 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
69 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
70 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
71 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
73 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
74 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
75 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
77 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
79 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
80 character set used by the current locale
82 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
83 message's filename overflows an int when converted
85 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
86 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
88 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
90 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
93 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
95 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
96 from Michael Richardson.
98 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
99 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
101 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
103 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
104 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
106 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
108 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
109 find sub-parts of the specified part
111 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
113 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
114 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
115 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
116 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
117 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
118 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
119 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
122 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
124 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
125 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
126 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
129 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
130 refiling with -src option.
132 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
134 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
136 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
138 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
139 mailpath being overwritten.
141 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
143 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
144 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
145 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
146 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
147 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
148 reinitializes the tmp file string.
150 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
151 if a format string was read from the profile.
153 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
154 path for the external hook.
156 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
158 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
159 another location for ndbm.
161 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
163 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
165 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
167 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
170 136976 - Handle binary content messages
171 143427 - mh-format.man typo
172 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
173 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
174 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
175 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
176 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
177 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
178 181867 - typo for nmh.man
180 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
182 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
183 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
184 contitional code which will result in cached data to
185 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
186 and parse on the first use.
187 * Remove some unused flag bits.
189 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
191 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
192 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
194 #578 - repl leaks umask
195 #1393 - sortm core dumps
196 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
197 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
198 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
200 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
201 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
203 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
205 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
206 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
208 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
210 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
211 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
212 to docs/README.about.
214 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
216 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
218 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
219 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
220 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
221 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
224 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
226 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
227 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
228 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
229 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
230 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
231 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
234 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
235 summary configure prints out.
237 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
238 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
239 subjectively more readable) format.
241 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
243 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
246 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
248 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
249 19xx when it's not necessary.
251 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
253 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
254 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
257 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
258 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
259 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
260 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
261 the man pages correctly.
263 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
265 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
267 * Finished manpages ali-prev
269 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
270 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
271 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
274 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
275 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
276 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
277 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
279 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
281 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
282 the formatting rules I've been using.
286 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
288 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
289 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
290 used in the manpages.
292 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
293 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
294 read in the contents of the file as the variable
297 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
298 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
299 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
300 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
301 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
302 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
303 bold flags and italicized parameters.
305 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
307 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
308 --with-locking option.
310 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
311 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
312 information was not being communicated to the
313 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
314 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
315 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
316 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
317 undefined symbols problems.
319 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
320 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
321 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
322 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
323 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
324 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
325 for a genuine krb4 installation.
327 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
329 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
330 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
332 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
334 * Made a new ./configure option called
335 "--with-locking" that allows the file
336 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
337 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
339 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
340 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
341 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
342 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
343 the user that these are the valid options, and
344 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
347 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
349 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
350 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
351 committed to supporting flex only, since
352 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
353 string, as well as other problems documented
354 below and on nmh-workers.
356 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
357 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
358 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
361 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
362 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
364 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
366 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
367 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
368 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
370 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
372 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
373 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
375 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
377 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
378 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
379 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
380 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
381 couldn't correctly identify them.
383 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
385 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
386 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
387 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
388 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
389 not depending on an external archive.
391 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
392 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
393 mts/generic is no longer built.
395 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
397 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
398 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
399 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
400 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
401 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
402 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
403 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
404 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
406 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
408 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
409 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
412 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
414 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
415 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
416 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
419 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
420 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
421 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
422 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
424 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
425 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
426 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
427 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
428 merged into the smtp code).
430 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
431 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
432 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
435 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
436 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
437 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
438 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
439 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
440 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
441 in the appropriate Makefile.in
443 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
445 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
446 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
447 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
448 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
449 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
450 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
451 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
452 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
453 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
454 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
455 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
457 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
459 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
460 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
461 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
462 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
463 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
464 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
465 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
466 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
467 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
469 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
471 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
472 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
475 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
477 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
478 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
480 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
482 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
483 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
484 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
485 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
487 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
489 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
490 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
491 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
492 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
493 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
495 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
496 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
498 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
500 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
502 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
503 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
504 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
505 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
507 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
508 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
509 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
510 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
512 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
513 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
514 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
515 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
517 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
518 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
519 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
521 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
523 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
524 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
525 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
526 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
527 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
528 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
531 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
532 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
534 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
535 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
537 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
539 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
541 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
543 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
544 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
545 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
546 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
548 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
550 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
551 be easily changed from "," to "#".
553 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
555 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
557 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
558 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
561 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
563 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
564 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
565 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
566 but not for the subsequent data stream.
568 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
570 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
571 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
572 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
573 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
574 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
576 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
578 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
579 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
581 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
582 cat, also define lorder as echo.
584 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
586 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
588 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
589 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
590 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
592 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
594 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
597 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
598 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
600 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
602 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
603 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
605 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
607 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
608 inc does not need to be setgid.
610 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
612 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
613 library, as found on Debian systems.
615 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
617 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
619 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
620 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
621 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
622 case-insensitivity flag.
624 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
626 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
627 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
629 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
631 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
632 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
633 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
634 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
635 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
636 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
637 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
638 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
639 getting moved aside).
641 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
642 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
644 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
646 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
647 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
648 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
649 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
650 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
651 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
652 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
653 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
654 the prototype, but never sets it.
656 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
657 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
658 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
659 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
660 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
661 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
663 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
664 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
665 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
666 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
667 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
669 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
671 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
672 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
675 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
676 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
677 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
678 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
679 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
680 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
681 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
683 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
685 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
687 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
688 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
689 this works on other systems.
691 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
693 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
694 checks for write failures.
696 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
698 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
700 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
703 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
705 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
707 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
709 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
710 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
713 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
715 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
716 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
717 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
718 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
720 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
722 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
723 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
726 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
727 as well as Makefiles.
729 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
731 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
732 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
733 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
734 should make maintainability easier.
736 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
737 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
738 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
739 whatever you know works.
741 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
743 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
744 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
745 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
747 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
748 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
749 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
750 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
752 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
753 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
754 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
756 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
757 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
758 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
759 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
760 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
762 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
763 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
764 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
765 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
766 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
767 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
768 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
769 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
770 from the BSD version.
772 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
773 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
774 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
776 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
779 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
782 This happens on solaris:
785 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
786 No manual entry for mts.conf.
790 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
792 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
793 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
795 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
797 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
798 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
799 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
800 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
801 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
802 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
803 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
804 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
805 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
806 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
807 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
809 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
810 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
811 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
812 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
813 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
814 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
817 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
818 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
819 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
820 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
821 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
823 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
824 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
826 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
828 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
829 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
830 to stdin, such as exmh.
832 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
833 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
834 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
837 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
839 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
840 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
841 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
842 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
843 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
844 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
845 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
847 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
849 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
850 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
852 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
854 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
855 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
857 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
859 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
862 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
863 along with any -host or -user option.
865 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
867 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
869 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
870 process was fresh in my mind.
872 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
874 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
875 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
877 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
879 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
881 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
884 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
885 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
886 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
887 part of the program's name.
889 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
890 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
893 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
895 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
896 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
897 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
898 single-character format would cause programs using this
899 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
900 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
901 when the format string was one character. This eventually
902 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
905 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
907 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
908 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
909 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
910 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
911 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
912 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
914 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
915 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
916 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
917 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
918 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
919 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
920 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
921 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
923 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
924 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
925 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
926 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
927 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
928 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
929 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
930 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
931 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
932 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
934 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
936 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
937 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
939 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
940 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
942 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
947 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
949 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
950 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
951 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
952 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
954 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
955 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
956 problem in the routine.
958 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
960 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
961 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
963 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
964 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
965 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
968 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
970 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
971 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
972 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
973 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
974 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
975 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
976 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
977 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
978 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
979 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
981 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
984 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
985 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
986 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
987 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
988 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
989 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
990 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
991 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
992 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
993 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
994 interesting than a duplication of the default.
996 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
997 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
998 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
999 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1000 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1002 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1005 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1007 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1008 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1009 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1010 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1013 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1015 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1017 * Applied, after some finessing,
1018 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1020 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1022 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1024 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1025 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1026 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1027 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1029 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1031 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1032 forgetting to do so!).
1034 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1035 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1036 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1037 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1038 arguments to enable all three types.
1040 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1041 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1043 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1044 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1045 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1046 updated copy of mts.conf.
1048 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1050 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1051 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1052 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1054 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1056 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1058 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1059 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1060 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1062 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1063 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1064 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1066 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1067 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1068 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1070 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1072 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1074 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1076 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1078 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1079 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1081 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1082 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1083 certain suffix to run properly.
1085 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1086 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1087 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1089 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1090 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1091 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1092 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1093 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1094 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1095 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1097 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1099 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1100 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1101 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1102 until some year far in the future).
1104 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1106 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1108 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1109 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1111 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1112 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1115 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1117 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1118 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1119 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1120 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1121 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1122 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1124 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1126 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1128 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1129 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1130 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1132 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1133 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1134 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1135 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1136 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1137 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1140 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1141 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1142 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1143 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1144 of masquerading individually.
1146 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1147 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1148 GECOS field delimiters.
1150 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1152 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1153 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1154 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1155 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1156 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1157 and explaining the feature.
1159 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1162 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1165 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1166 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1167 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1169 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1170 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1171 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1172 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1174 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1175 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1176 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1179 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1181 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1182 code to be executed.
1184 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1186 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1188 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1189 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1190 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1191 quotes embedded in them.
1193 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1195 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1196 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1197 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1198 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1199 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1200 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1201 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1204 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1205 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1206 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1207 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1208 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1210 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1212 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1214 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1215 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1216 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1217 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1219 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1222 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1224 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1226 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1228 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1229 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1230 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1232 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1235 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1237 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1238 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1239 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1240 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1241 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1242 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1244 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1245 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1247 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1249 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1252 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1254 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1255 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1256 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1259 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1260 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1261 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1262 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1263 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1264 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1265 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1266 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1267 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1268 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1269 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1270 processing that post has).
1272 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1274 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1275 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1276 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1277 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1278 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1279 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1282 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1284 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1286 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1288 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1290 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1291 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1293 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1296 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1298 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1299 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1300 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1303 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1305 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1306 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1307 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1308 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1309 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1310 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1312 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1314 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1316 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1318 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1319 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1320 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1321 caught again. This works for now.
1323 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1325 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1327 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1328 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1330 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1332 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1333 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1335 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1337 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1339 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1341 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1342 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1344 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1346 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1347 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1348 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1349 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1350 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1353 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1355 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1356 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1357 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1359 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1360 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1363 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1365 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1366 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1367 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1369 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1371 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1372 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1374 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1376 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1379 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1380 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1382 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1383 macros, regardless of platform.
1385 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1386 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1388 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1389 with x-conversions=gzip.
1391 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1393 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1396 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1397 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1398 implicit definition of ioctl().
1400 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1401 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1402 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1403 want to mess with them.
1405 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1407 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1408 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1410 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1411 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1413 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1414 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1415 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1417 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1418 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1419 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1421 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1422 function initgroups.
1424 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1427 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1428 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1431 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1432 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1435 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1436 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1440 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1442 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1443 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1444 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1446 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1447 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1449 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1451 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1453 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1454 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1455 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1456 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1458 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1459 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1461 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1463 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1465 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1467 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1468 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1470 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1472 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1473 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1475 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1476 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1477 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1478 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1480 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1481 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1483 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1485 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1486 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1488 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1490 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1491 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1494 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1496 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1498 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1500 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1501 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1503 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1504 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1505 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1507 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1508 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1509 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1511 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1512 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1513 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1515 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1516 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1519 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1520 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1522 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1523 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1525 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1526 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1528 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1529 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1530 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1532 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1533 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1535 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1536 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1537 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1539 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1540 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1543 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1544 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1546 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1547 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1548 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1549 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1551 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1552 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1554 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1558 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1559 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1560 would not be changed.
1562 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1563 one from the Apache web server.
1565 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1566 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1568 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1569 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1570 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1572 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1574 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1576 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1577 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1580 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1581 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1582 removes a bad race condition.
1584 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1587 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1588 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1589 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1591 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1592 sequence information.
1594 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1595 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1597 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1600 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1603 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1605 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1606 interpret 034 as octal.
1608 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1610 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1611 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1613 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1614 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1616 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1617 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1619 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1620 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1622 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1623 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1625 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1626 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1627 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1629 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1630 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1631 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1633 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1635 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1637 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1638 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1641 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1643 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1644 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1646 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1647 header field information.
1649 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1650 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1652 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1653 values when parsing a content.
1655 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1656 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1658 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1659 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1661 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1662 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1664 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1665 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1667 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1669 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1671 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1673 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1675 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1676 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1679 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1680 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1682 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1683 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1684 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1685 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1686 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1687 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1690 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1692 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1693 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1694 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1696 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1697 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1699 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1701 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1702 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1703 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1704 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1706 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1707 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1710 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1711 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1712 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1713 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1716 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1718 * Released nmh-0.27.
1720 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1721 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1723 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1724 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1725 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1726 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1729 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1730 mhbuild returns an error.
1732 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1733 rename the draft file.
1735 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1736 use a global variable.
1738 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1739 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1741 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1742 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1744 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1745 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1746 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1748 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1749 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1751 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1752 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1755 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1756 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1759 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1760 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1762 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1763 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1764 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1766 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1767 to new function output_content_folder.
1769 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1770 new function output_content_file.
1772 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1773 to new function parse_format_string.
1775 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1776 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1777 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1778 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1780 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1781 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1782 message/external file from ftp.
1784 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1785 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1786 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1788 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1789 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1792 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1795 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1796 new file mhstoresbr.c
1798 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1801 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1802 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1804 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1805 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1807 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1808 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1809 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1811 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1813 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1815 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1816 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1819 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1820 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1822 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1825 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1827 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1829 * Released nmh-0.26.
1831 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1832 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1833 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1834 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1836 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1837 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1838 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1839 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1840 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1842 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1843 But it is not on by default.
1845 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1846 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1848 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1850 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1852 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1854 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1856 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1857 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1859 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1861 * Released nmh-0.25.
1863 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1864 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1865 uses the original name of the library.
1867 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1868 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1871 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1872 list_content and list_debug.
1874 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1876 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1877 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1879 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1881 * Released nmh-0.24.
1883 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1885 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1886 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1888 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1889 large sequence line.
1891 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1893 * Released nmh-0.23.
1895 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1897 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1898 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1899 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1900 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1902 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1903 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1906 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1908 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1910 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1912 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1913 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1915 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1916 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1918 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1919 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1921 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1922 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1924 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1926 * Released nmh-0.22.
1928 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1929 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1931 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1933 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1934 mh-profile(5) man page.
1936 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1937 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1939 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1941 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1943 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1944 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1946 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1948 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1949 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1950 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1952 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1953 source message on the standard input.
1955 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1957 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1958 rather than -rfc934mode.
1960 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1961 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1964 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1965 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1967 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1970 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1972 * Released nmh-0.21.
1974 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1975 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1977 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1980 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1981 to use for text contents.
1983 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1985 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1987 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1989 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1991 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1992 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1994 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1995 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1996 spaces between encoded word are.
1998 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2000 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2001 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2003 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2004 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2005 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2007 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2009 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2010 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2012 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2014 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2016 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2017 ISO-8859-X character set.
2019 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2022 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2023 permissions, not write permissions.
2025 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2026 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2028 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2031 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2033 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2035 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2036 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2038 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2039 message contains valid character set.
2041 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2042 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2044 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2045 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2047 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2048 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2049 between an encoded word and normal text.
2051 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2052 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2054 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2055 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2057 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2060 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2061 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2064 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2065 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2067 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2068 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2070 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2072 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2074 * Released nmh-0.20.
2076 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2078 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2080 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2081 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2082 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2084 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2085 and the To: line was missing.
2087 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2089 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2091 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2093 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2094 watch the POP transaction.
2096 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2097 first, and use it if available.
2099 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2100 first, and use it if available.
2102 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2104 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2106 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2107 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2108 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2111 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2112 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2113 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2115 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2116 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2119 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2121 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2122 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2124 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2126 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2127 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2129 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2130 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2131 message to which you are replying.
2133 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2134 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2135 making group replies.
2137 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2139 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2141 * Released nmh-0.19.
2143 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2144 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2146 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2147 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2148 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2149 to the end of the man page.
2151 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2152 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2153 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2154 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2155 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2156 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2158 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2161 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2162 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2163 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2165 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2166 the next available number above the message number you wish
2169 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2170 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2172 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2173 file sbr/seq_print.c
2175 * flist will now update the current folder.
2177 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2178 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2179 but now undocumented.
2181 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2184 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2185 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2187 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2189 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2190 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2192 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194 * Released nmh-0.18.
2196 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2197 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2198 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2200 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2201 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2203 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2204 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2205 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2206 previous public/private status.
2208 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2211 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2214 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2215 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2216 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2218 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2219 take option to determine whether it should get current
2220 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2221 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2223 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2225 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2226 wait for stopped processes.
2228 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2229 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2231 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2233 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2235 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2236 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2238 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2239 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2241 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2242 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2243 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2244 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2246 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2249 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2252 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2254 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2255 the debugging output.
2257 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2258 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2260 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2262 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2264 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2265 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2267 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2269 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2270 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2271 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2272 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2273 in the given sequence.
2275 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2276 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2277 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2278 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2279 subdirectories of a given directory.
2281 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2282 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2283 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2285 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2286 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2288 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2290 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2293 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2294 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2295 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2297 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2298 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2299 are calculated at runtime.
2301 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2303 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2305 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2306 about checking for global mh.profile.
2308 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2309 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2310 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2311 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2312 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2313 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2315 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2316 adding message to folder itself.
2318 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2319 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2320 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2323 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2324 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2327 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2328 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2329 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2331 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2332 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2334 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2335 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2336 code to use it yet).
2338 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2340 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2342 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2343 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2345 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2346 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2348 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2350 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2353 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2357 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2359 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2361 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2362 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2366 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2368 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2370 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2372 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2374 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2375 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2377 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2378 configuration files.
2380 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2382 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2386 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2388 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2389 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2391 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2394 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2395 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2397 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2398 number of refiled message.
2400 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2402 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2403 for return value of wait().
2405 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2407 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2409 * Released nmh-0.16.
2411 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2413 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2415 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2416 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2417 deal with binary messages, yet).
2419 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2421 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2423 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2424 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2425 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2426 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2427 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2428 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2430 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2431 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2433 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2434 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2436 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2437 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2440 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2442 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2444 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2445 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2448 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2451 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2453 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2454 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2455 which used unsigned chars by default.
2457 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2459 * Released nmh-0.15.
2461 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2466 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2468 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2471 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2472 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2473 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2475 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2476 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2478 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2480 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2481 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2483 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2484 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2485 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2486 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2488 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2489 and put in own subroutine.
2491 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2492 and put in own subroutine.
2494 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2495 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2496 refile.c to use new routine.
2498 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2500 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2502 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2505 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2506 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2507 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2509 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2512 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2513 adding message to sequence.
2515 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2516 corresponding file in sbr.
2518 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2521 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2523 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2524 all selected messages from a sequence.
2526 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2527 selected messages to a sequence.
2529 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2532 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2534 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2535 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2537 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2539 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2556 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2557 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2558 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2559 environment variable.
2561 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2562 draft folder facility in nmh.
2564 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2576 * Released nmh-0.13.
2578 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2579 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2580 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2581 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2584 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2585 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2587 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2589 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2590 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2592 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2594 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2595 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.

2610 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2611 mp->attrstats with macros.
2613 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2616 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2619 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2620 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2622 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2623 will suppress the display of the message header.
2625 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2627 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2628 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2630 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2632 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2634 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2636 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2637 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2639 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2640 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2642 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2644 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2646 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2647 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2649 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2650 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2652 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2654 * Released nmh-0.10.
2656 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2661 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2664 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2666 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2667 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2669 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2670 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2672 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2674 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2675 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2677 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2679 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2680 of missing tabs in regex.
2682 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2684 * Released nmh-0.09.
2686 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2688 * Add configure check for killpg.

2697 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2700 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2702 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2704 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2705 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2707 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2709 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2710 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2712 * Released nmh-0.08.
2714 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2715 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2716 locking database itself.
2718 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2720 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2722 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2723 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2726 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2727 rather than mmdf format.
2729 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2730 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2731 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2732 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2734 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2736 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2738 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2741 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2742 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2743 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2745 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2746 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2747 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2749 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2752 can still easily change this in config.h).
2754 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2755 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2756 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2758 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2761 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2763 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2765 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2767 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2770 * Released nmh-0.07.
2772 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2774 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2775 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2777 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2778 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2781 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2782 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2784 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2785 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2787 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2789 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2791 * Added configure check for tzset.
2793 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2795 * Released nmh-0.06.
2797 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2798 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2800 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2801 many such machines around anymore.
2803 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2804 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2806 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2807 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2809 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2811 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2812 pre-generated version if necessary.
2814 * Released nmh-0.05.
2816 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2817 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2818 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2819 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2821 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2822 be linked in one pass.
2824 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2826 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2827 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2829 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2831 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2833 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2835 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2836 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2837 become the current folder.
2839 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2841 * Released nmh-0.04.
2843 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2846 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2848 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2849 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2850 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2852 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2854 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2855 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2857 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2859 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2860 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2863 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2864 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2866 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2868 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2869 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2870 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2871 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2872 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2873 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2875 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2877 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2878 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2880 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2881 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2883 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2885 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank

2888 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2890 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2891 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2892 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2894 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2896 * Released nmh-0.03.
2898 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2899 .mh_sequence file existed.
2901 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2902 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2904 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2905 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2908 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2910 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2913 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2915 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2916 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2917 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2919 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2921 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2922 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2923 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2925 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2927 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2928 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2930 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2932 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2934 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2935 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2936 directory from where the source code is located.
2938 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Released nmh-0.02.

2947 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2950 and sys_nerr directly.

2958 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2960 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2961 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2962 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2963 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2964 rather than in script.
2966 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2968 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2970 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2971 macro defined on Solaris.
2973 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2975 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2976 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2978 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2979 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2980 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2981 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2984 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2986 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2987 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2989 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2992 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2996 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2997 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.

3001 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3002 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3004 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3006 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3007 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3008 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3009 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3010 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3011 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3013 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3015 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3017 * Released nmh-0.01.
3019 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3020 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3021 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3024 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3029 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3031 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3032 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3034 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3036 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3037 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3038 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3039 script to find_program.
3041 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3044 speed up -recurse option.
3046 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3047 yet, but it compiles :-)
3049 * Changed default location for install to
3050 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3051 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3052 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3055 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3056 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3057 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
