3 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
4 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
6 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
9 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
11 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
12 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
13 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
14 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
17 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
18 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
19 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
21 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
22 entry in the context file.
24 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
26 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
27 problems on some systems
29 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
30 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
32 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
34 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
35 sendmail isn't found during build.
37 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
39 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
41 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
43 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
44 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
46 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
47 references to the web page and mailing list locations
49 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
50 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
52 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
55 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
57 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
58 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
59 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
61 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
62 was configured with --enable-apop.
64 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
65 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
66 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
68 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
71 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
72 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
73 doesn't guess wrongly.
75 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
77 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
78 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
80 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
81 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
83 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
84 files with numbers as names
86 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
88 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
90 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
92 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
94 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
95 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
97 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
99 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
102 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
103 test/report error writing to stdout
105 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
107 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
109 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
110 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
111 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
113 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
114 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
115 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
117 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
119 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
120 character set used by the current locale
122 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
123 message's filename overflows an int when converted
125 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
126 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
128 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
130 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
133 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
135 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
136 from Michael Richardson.
138 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
139 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
141 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
143 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
144 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
146 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
148 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
149 find sub-parts of the specified part
151 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
153 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
154 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
155 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
156 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
157 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
158 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
159 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
162 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
164 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
165 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
166 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
169 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
170 refiling with -src option.
172 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
174 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
176 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
178 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
179 mailpath being overwritten.
181 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
183 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
184 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
185 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
186 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
187 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
188 reinitializes the tmp file string.
190 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
191 if a format string was read from the profile.
193 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
194 path for the external hook.
196 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
198 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
199 another location for ndbm.
201 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
203 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
205 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
207 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
210 136976 - Handle binary content messages
211 143427 - mh-format.man typo
212 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
213 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
214 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
215 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
216 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
217 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
218 181867 - typo for nmh.man
220 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
222 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
223 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
224 contitional code which will result in cached data to
225 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
226 and parse on the first use.
227 * Remove some unused flag bits.
229 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
231 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
232 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
234 #578 - repl leaks umask
235 #1393 - sortm core dumps
236 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
237 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
238 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
240 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
241 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
243 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
245 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
246 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
248 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
250 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
251 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
252 to docs/README.about.
254 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
256 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
258 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
259 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
260 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
261 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
264 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
266 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
267 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
268 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
269 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
270 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
271 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
274 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
275 summary configure prints out.
277 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
278 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
279 subjectively more readable) format.
281 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
283 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
286 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
288 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
289 19xx when it's not necessary.
291 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
293 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
294 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
297 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
298 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
299 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
300 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
301 the man pages correctly.
303 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
305 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
307 * Finished manpages ali-prev
309 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
310 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
311 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
314 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
315 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
316 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
317 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
319 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
321 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
322 the formatting rules I've been using.
326 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
328 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
329 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
330 used in the manpages.
332 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
333 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
334 read in the contents of the file as the variable
337 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
338 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
339 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
340 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
341 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
342 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
343 bold flags and italicized parameters.
345 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
347 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
348 --with-locking option.
350 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
351 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
352 information was not being communicated to the
353 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
354 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
355 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
356 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
357 undefined symbols problems.
359 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
360 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
361 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
362 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
363 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
364 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
365 for a genuine krb4 installation.
367 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
369 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
370 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
372 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
374 * Made a new ./configure option called
375 "--with-locking" that allows the file
376 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
377 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
379 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
380 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
381 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
382 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
383 the user that these are the valid options, and
384 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
387 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
389 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
390 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
391 committed to supporting flex only, since
392 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
393 string, as well as other problems documented
394 below and on nmh-workers.
396 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
397 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
398 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
401 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
402 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
404 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
406 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
407 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
408 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
410 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
412 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
413 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
415 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
417 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
418 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
419 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
420 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
421 couldn't correctly identify them.
423 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
425 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
426 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
427 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
428 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
429 not depending on an external archive.
431 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
432 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
433 mts/generic is no longer built.
435 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
437 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
438 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
439 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
440 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
441 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
442 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
443 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
444 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
446 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
448 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
449 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
452 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
454 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
455 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
456 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
459 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
460 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
461 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
462 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
464 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
465 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
466 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
467 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
468 merged into the smtp code).
470 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
471 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
472 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
475 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
476 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
477 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
478 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
479 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
480 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
481 in the appropriate Makefile.in
483 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
485 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
486 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
487 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
488 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
489 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
490 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
491 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
492 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
493 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
494 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
495 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
497 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
499 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
500 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
501 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
502 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
503 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
504 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
505 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
506 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
507 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
509 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
511 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
512 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
515 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
517 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
518 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
520 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
522 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
523 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
524 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
525 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
527 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
529 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
530 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
531 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
532 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
533 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
535 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
536 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
538 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
540 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
542 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
543 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
544 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
545 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
547 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
548 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
549 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
550 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
552 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
553 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
554 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
555 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
557 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
558 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
559 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
561 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
563 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
564 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
565 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
566 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
567 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
568 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
571 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
572 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
574 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
575 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
577 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
579 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
581 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
583 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
584 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
585 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
586 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
588 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
590 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
591 be easily changed from "," to "#".
593 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
595 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
597 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
598 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
601 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
603 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
604 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
605 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
606 but not for the subsequent data stream.
608 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
610 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
611 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
612 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
613 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
614 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
616 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
618 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
619 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
621 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
622 cat, also define lorder as echo.
624 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
626 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
628 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
629 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
630 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
632 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
634 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
637 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
638 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
640 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
642 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
643 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
645 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
647 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
648 inc does not need to be setgid.
650 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
652 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
653 library, as found on Debian systems.
655 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
657 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
659 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
660 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
661 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
662 case-insensitivity flag.
664 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
666 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
667 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
669 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
671 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
672 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
673 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
674 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
675 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
676 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
677 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
678 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
679 getting moved aside).
681 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
682 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
684 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
686 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
687 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
688 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
689 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
690 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
691 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
692 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
693 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
694 the prototype, but never sets it.
696 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
697 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
698 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
699 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
700 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
701 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
703 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
704 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
705 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
706 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
707 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
709 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
711 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
712 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
715 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
716 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
717 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
718 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
719 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
720 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
721 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
723 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
725 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
727 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
728 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
729 this works on other systems.
731 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
733 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
734 checks for write failures.
736 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
738 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
740 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
743 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
745 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
747 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
749 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
750 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
753 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
755 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
756 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
757 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
758 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
760 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
762 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
763 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
766 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
767 as well as Makefiles.
769 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
771 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
772 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
773 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
774 should make maintainability easier.
776 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
777 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
778 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
779 whatever you know works.
781 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
783 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
784 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
785 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
787 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
788 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
789 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
790 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
792 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
793 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
794 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
796 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
797 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
798 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
799 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
800 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
802 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
803 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
804 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
805 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
806 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
807 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
808 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
809 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
810 from the BSD version.
812 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
813 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
814 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
816 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
819 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
822 This happens on solaris:
825 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
826 No manual entry for mts.conf.
830 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
832 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
833 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
835 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
837 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
838 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
839 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
840 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
841 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
842 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
843 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
844 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
845 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
846 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
847 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
849 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
850 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
851 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
852 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
853 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
854 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
857 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
858 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
859 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
860 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
861 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
863 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
864 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
866 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
868 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
869 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
870 to stdin, such as exmh.
872 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
873 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
874 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
877 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
879 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
880 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
881 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
882 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
883 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
884 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
885 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
887 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
889 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
890 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
892 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
894 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
895 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
897 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
899 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
902 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
903 along with any -host or -user option.
905 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
907 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
909 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
910 process was fresh in my mind.
912 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
914 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
915 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
917 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
919 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
921 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
924 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
925 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
926 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
927 part of the program's name.
929 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
930 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
933 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
935 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
936 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
937 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
938 single-character format would cause programs using this
939 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
940 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
941 when the format string was one character. This eventually
942 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
945 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
947 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
948 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
949 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
950 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
951 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
952 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
954 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
955 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
956 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
957 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
958 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
959 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
960 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
961 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
963 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
964 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
965 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
966 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
967 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
968 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
969 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
970 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
971 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
972 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
974 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
977 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
979 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
980 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
982 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
987 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
989 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
990 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
991 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
992 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
994 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
995 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
996 problem in the routine.
998 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1000 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1001 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1003 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1004 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1005 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1008 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1011 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1012 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1013 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1014 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1015 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1016 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1017 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1018 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1019 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1021 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1023 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1024 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1025 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1026 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1027 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1028 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1029 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1030 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1031 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1032 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1033 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1034 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1036 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1037 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1038 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1039 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1040 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1042 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1045 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1047 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1048 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1049 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1050 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1053 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1055 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1057 * Applied, after some finessing,
1058 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1060 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1062 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1064 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1065 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1066 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1067 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1069 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1071 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1072 forgetting to do so!).
1074 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1075 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1076 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1077 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1078 arguments to enable all three types.
1080 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1081 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1083 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1084 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1085 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1086 updated copy of mts.conf.
1088 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1090 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1091 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1092 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1094 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1096 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1098 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1099 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1100 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1102 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1103 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1104 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1106 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1107 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1108 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1110 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1112 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1114 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1116 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1118 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1119 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1121 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1122 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1123 certain suffix to run properly.
1125 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1126 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1127 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1129 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1130 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1131 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1132 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1133 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1134 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1135 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1137 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1139 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1140 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1141 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1142 until some year far in the future).
1144 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1146 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1148 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1149 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1151 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1152 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1155 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1157 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1158 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1159 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1160 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1161 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1162 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1164 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1166 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1168 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1169 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1170 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1172 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1173 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1174 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1175 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1176 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1177 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1180 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1181 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1182 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1183 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1184 of masquerading individually.
1186 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1187 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1188 GECOS field delimiters.
1190 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1192 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1193 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1194 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1195 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1196 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1197 and explaining the feature.
1199 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1201 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1202 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1205 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1206 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1207 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1209 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1210 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1211 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1212 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1214 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1215 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1216 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1219 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1221 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1222 code to be executed.
1224 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1226 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1228 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1229 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1230 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1231 quotes embedded in them.
1233 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1235 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1236 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1237 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1238 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1239 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1240 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1241 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1244 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1245 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1246 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1247 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1248 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1250 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1252 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1254 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1255 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1256 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1257 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1259 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1262 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1264 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1266 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1268 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1269 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1270 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1272 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1275 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1277 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1278 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1279 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1280 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1281 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1282 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1284 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1285 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1287 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1289 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1292 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1294 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1295 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1296 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1299 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1300 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1301 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1302 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1303 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1304 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1305 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1306 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1307 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1308 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1309 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1310 processing that post has).
1312 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1314 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1315 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1316 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1317 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1318 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1319 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1322 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1324 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1326 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1328 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1330 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1331 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1333 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1336 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1338 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1339 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1340 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1343 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1345 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1346 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1347 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1348 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1349 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1350 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1352 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1354 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1356 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1358 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1359 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1360 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1361 caught again. This works for now.
1363 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1365 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1367 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1368 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1370 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1372 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1373 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1375 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1377 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1379 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1381 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1382 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1384 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1386 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1387 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1388 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1389 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1390 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1393 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1395 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1396 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1397 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1399 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1400 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1403 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1405 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1406 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1407 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1409 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1411 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1412 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1414 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1416 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1419 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1420 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1422 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1423 macros, regardless of platform.
1425 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1426 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1428 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1429 with x-conversions=gzip.
1431 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1433 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1436 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1437 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1438 implicit definition of ioctl().
1440 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1441 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1442 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1443 want to mess with them.
1445 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1447 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1448 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1450 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1451 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1453 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1454 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1455 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1457 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1458 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1459 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1461 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1462 function initgroups.
1464 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1467 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1468 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1471 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1472 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1475 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1476 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1480 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1482 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1483 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1484 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1486 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1487 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1489 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1491 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1493 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1494 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1495 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1496 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1498 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1499 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1501 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1503 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1505 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1507 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1508 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1510 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1512 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1513 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1515 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1516 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1517 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1518 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1520 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1521 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1523 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1525 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1526 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1528 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1530 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1531 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1534 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1536 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1538 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1540 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1541 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1543 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1544 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1545 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1547 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1548 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1549 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1551 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1552 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1553 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1555 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1556 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1559 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1560 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1562 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1563 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1565 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1566 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1568 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1569 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1570 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1572 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1573 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1575 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1576 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1577 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1579 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1580 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1583 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1584 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1586 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1587 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1588 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1589 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1591 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1592 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1594 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1598 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1599 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1600 would not be changed.
1602 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1603 one from the Apache web server.
1605 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1606 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1608 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1609 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1610 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1612 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1614 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1616 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1617 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1620 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1621 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1622 removes a bad race condition.
1624 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1627 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1628 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1629 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1631 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1632 sequence information.
1634 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1635 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1637 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1640 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1643 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1645 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1646 interpret 034 as octal.
1648 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1650 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1651 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1653 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1654 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1656 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1657 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1659 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1660 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1662 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1663 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1665 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1666 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1667 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1669 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1670 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1671 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1673 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1675 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1677 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1678 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1681 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1683 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1684 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1686 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1687 header field information.
1689 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1690 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1692 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1693 values when parsing a content.
1695 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1696 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1698 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1699 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1701 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1702 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1704 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1705 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1707 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1709 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1711 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1713 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1715 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1716 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1719 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1720 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1722 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1723 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1724 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1725 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1726 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1727 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1730 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1732 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1733 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1734 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1736 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1737 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1739 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1741 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1742 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1743 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1744 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1746 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1747 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1750 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1751 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1752 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1753 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1756 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1758 * Released nmh-0.27.
1760 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1761 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1763 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1764 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1765 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1766 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1769 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1770 mhbuild returns an error.
1772 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1773 rename the draft file.
1775 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1776 use a global variable.
1778 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1779 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1781 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1782 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1784 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1785 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1786 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1788 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1789 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1791 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1792 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1795 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1796 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1799 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1800 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1802 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1803 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1804 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1806 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1807 to new function output_content_folder.
1809 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1810 new function output_content_file.
1812 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1813 to new function parse_format_string.
1815 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1816 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1817 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1818 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1820 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1821 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1822 message/external file from ftp.
1824 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1825 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1826 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1828 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1829 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1832 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1835 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1836 new file mhstoresbr.c
1838 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1841 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1842 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1844 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1845 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1847 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1848 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1849 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1851 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1853 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1855 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1856 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1859 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1860 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1862 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1865 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1867 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1869 * Released nmh-0.26.
1871 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1872 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1873 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1874 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1876 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1877 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1878 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1879 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1880 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1882 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1883 But it is not on by default.
1885 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1886 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1888 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1890 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1892 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1894 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1896 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1897 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1899 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1901 * Released nmh-0.25.
1903 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1904 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1905 uses the original name of the library.
1907 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1908 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1911 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1912 list_content and list_debug.
1914 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1916 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1917 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1919 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1921 * Released nmh-0.24.
1923 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1925 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1926 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1928 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1929 large sequence line.
1931 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1933 * Released nmh-0.23.
1935 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1937 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1938 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1939 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1940 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1942 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1943 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1946 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1948 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1950 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1952 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1953 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1955 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1956 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1958 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1959 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1961 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1962 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1964 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1966 * Released nmh-0.22.
1968 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1969 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1971 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1973 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1974 mh-profile(5) man page.
1976 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1977 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1979 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1981 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1983 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1984 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1986 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1988 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1989 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1990 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1992 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1993 source message on the standard input.
1995 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1997 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1998 rather than -rfc934mode.
2000 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2001 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2004 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2005 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2007 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2010 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2012 * Released nmh-0.21.
2014 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2015 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2017 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2020 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2021 to use for text contents.
2023 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2025 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2027 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2029 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2031 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2032 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2034 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2035 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2036 spaces between encoded word are.
2038 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2040 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2041 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2043 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2044 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2045 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2047 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2049 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2050 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2052 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2054 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2056 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2057 ISO-8859-X character set.
2059 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2062 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2063 permissions, not write permissions.
2065 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2066 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2068 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2071 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2073 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2075 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2076 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2078 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2079 message contains valid character set.
2081 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2082 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2084 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2085 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2087 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2088 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2089 between an encoded word and normal text.
2091 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2092 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2094 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2095 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2097 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2100 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2101 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2104 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2105 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2107 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2108 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2110 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2112 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2114 * Released nmh-0.20.
2116 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2118 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2120 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2121 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2122 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2124 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2125 and the To: line was missing.
2127 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2129 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2131 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2133 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2134 watch the POP transaction.
2136 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2137 first, and use it if available.
2139 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2140 first, and use it if available.
2142 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2144 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2146 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2147 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2148 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2151 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2152 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2153 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2155 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2156 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2159 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2161 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2162 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2164 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2166 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2167 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2169 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2170 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2171 message to which you are replying.
2173 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2174 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2175 making group replies.
2177 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2179 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2181 * Released nmh-0.19.
2183 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2184 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2186 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2187 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2188 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2189 to the end of the man page.
2191 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2192 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2193 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2194 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2195 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2196 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2198 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2201 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2202 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2203 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2205 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2206 the next available number above the message number you wish
2209 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2210 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2212 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2213 file sbr/seq_print.c
2215 * flist will now update the current folder.
2217 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2218 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2219 but now undocumented.
2221 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2224 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2225 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2227 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2229 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2230 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2232 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2234 * Released nmh-0.18.
2236 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2237 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2238 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2240 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2241 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2243 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2244 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2245 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2246 previous public/private status.
2248 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2251 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2254 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2255 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2256 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2258 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2259 take option to determine whether it should get current
2260 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2261 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2263 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2265 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2266 wait for stopped processes.
2268 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2269 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2271 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2273 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2275 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2276 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2278 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2279 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2281 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2282 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2283 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2284 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2286 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2289 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2292 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2294 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2295 the debugging output.
2297 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2298 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2300 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2302 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2304 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2305 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2307 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2309 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2310 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2311 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2312 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2313 in the given sequence.
2315 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2316 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2317 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2318 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2319 subdirectories of a given directory.
2321 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2322 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2323 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2325 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2326 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2328 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2330 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2333 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2334 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2335 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2337 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2338 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2339 are calculated at runtime.
2341 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2349 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2350 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2351 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2352 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2353 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2355 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2356 adding message to folder itself.
2358 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2359 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2360 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2363 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2364 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2367 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2368 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2369 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2371 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2372 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2374 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2375 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2376 code to use it yet).
2378 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2380 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2382 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2383 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2385 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2386 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2388 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2390 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2393 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2408 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2410 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2412 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

2415 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2417 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2418 configuration files.
2420 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

2426 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2428 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2429 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2431 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2434 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2435 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2437 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2438 number of refiled message.
2440 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2442 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2443 for return value of wait().
2445 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2447 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2449 * Released nmh-0.16.

2453 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2455 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2456 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2457 deal with binary messages, yet).
2459 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2461 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2463 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2464 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2465 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2466 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2467 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2468 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2470 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2471 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2473 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2474 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2476 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2477 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2480 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2482 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2484 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2485 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2488 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2491 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2493 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2494 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2495 which used unsigned chars by default.
2497 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2499 * Released nmh-0.15.
2501 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2506 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2508 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2511 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2512 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2513 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2515 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2516 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2518 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2520 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2521 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2523 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2524 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2525 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2526 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2528 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2529 and put in own subroutine.
2531 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2532 and put in own subroutine.
2534 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2535 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2536 refile.c to use new routine.
2538 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2540 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2542 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2545 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2546 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2547 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2549 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2552 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2553 adding message to sequence.
2555 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2556 corresponding file in sbr.
2558 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2561 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2563 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2564 all selected messages from a sequence.
2566 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2567 selected messages to a sequence.
2569 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2572 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2574 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2575 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2577 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2579 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2596 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2597 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2598 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2599 environment variable.
2601 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2602 draft folder facility in nmh.
2604 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2616 * Released nmh-0.13.
2618 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2619 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2620 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2621 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2624 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2625 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2627 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2629 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2630 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2632 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2634 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2650 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2651 mp->attrstats with macros.
2653 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2656 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2659 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2660 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2662 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2663 will suppress the display of the message header.
2665 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2667 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2668 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2670 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2672 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2674 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2676 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2677 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2679 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2680 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2682 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2684 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2686 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2687 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2689 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2690 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2692 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2694 * Released nmh-0.10.

2701 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2704 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2706 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2707 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2709 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2712 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2714 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2715 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2717 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2719 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2724 * Released nmh-0.09.
2726 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2728 * Add configure check for killpg.

2742 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2744 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2745 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2747 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2749 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2750 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2752 * Released nmh-0.08.
2754 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2755 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2756 locking database itself.
2758 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2760 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2762 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2763 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2766 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2767 rather than mmdf format.
2769 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2770 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2771 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2772 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2774 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2776 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2781 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2782 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2783 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2785 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2786 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2787 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2789 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2791 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2792 can still easily change this in config.h).
2794 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2795 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2796 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2798 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2800 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2801 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2810 * Released nmh-0.07.
2812 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2814 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2815 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2817 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2818 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2821 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2822 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2824 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2825 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2827 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2829 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2831 * Added configure check for tzset.

2835 * Released nmh-0.06.
2837 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2838 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2840 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2841 many such machines around anymore.
2843 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2844 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2846 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2847 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2849 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2851 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2852 pre-generated version if necessary.
2854 * Released nmh-0.05.
2856 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2857 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2858 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2859 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2861 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2862 be linked in one pass.
2864 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2866 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2867 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2869 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2871 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2873 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2875 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2876 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2877 become the current folder.
2879 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2881 * Released nmh-0.04.
2883 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2886 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2888 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2889 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2890 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2892 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2894 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2895 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2897 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2899 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2900 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2903 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2904 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2906 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2908 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2909 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2910 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2911 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2912 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2913 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2915 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2917 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2918 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2920 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2921 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2923 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2925 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2926 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2928 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2930 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2931 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2932 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2934 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2936 * Released nmh-0.03.
2938 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2939 .mh_sequence file existed.
2941 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2942 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2944 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2945 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2948 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2950 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2953 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2955 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2956 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2957 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2959 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2961 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2962 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2963 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2965 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2967 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2968 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2970 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2972 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2974 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2975 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2976 directory from where the source code is located.
2978 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2980 * Released nmh-0.02.
2982 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2984 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2987 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2990 and sys_nerr directly.
2992 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2996 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2998 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3000 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3001 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3002 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3003 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3004 rather than in script.
3006 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3008 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3010 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3011 macro defined on Solaris.
3013 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3015 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3016 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3018 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3019 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3020 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3021 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3024 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3027 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3029 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3032 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3034 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3036 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3037 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3039 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3041 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3042 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3044 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3046 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3047 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3048 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3049 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3050 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3051 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3053 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3055 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3057 * Released nmh-0.01.
3059 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3060 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3061 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3064 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3066 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3069 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3071 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3072 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3074 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3076 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3077 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3078 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3079 script to find_program.
3081 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3083 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3084 speed up -recurse option.
3086 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3087 yet, but it compiles :-)
3089 * Changed default location for install to
3090 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3091 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3092 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3095 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3096 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3097 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
