1 2009-12-21 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
3 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: In sm_auth_sasl (), removed zeroing of
4 sasl_inbuffer because it could be used in sm_fget (). Also,
5 removed allocation of sasl_inbuffer because that was done in
6 either smtp_init () or sendmail_init ().
8 2009-01-17 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
10 * etc/mhn.defaults.sh: Never try to make mhshow start xterm.
12 2009-01-16 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
14 * test/runtest, test/tests/inc/test-deb359167,
15 test/tests/inc/test-eom-align, test/tests/manpages/test-manpages:
16 Load common.sh via absolute path, otherwise some /bin/sh
17 (e.g. dash) can't load it.
19 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/new.c, test/tests/new/test-basic: Add new
20 program, and fn/fp/unseen symlinks.
22 * test/{runtest,setup-test}: Move MH profile under Mail directory
23 so each test script will have its own to muck with, if needed.
25 * h/Makefile.in, h/crawl_folders.h, sbr/Makefile.in,
26 sbr/crawl_folders.c, uip/folder.c: Extract the folder crawling
27 code from folder.c into new crawl_folders function, using a
28 callback to assemble the folder info in folder.c. Drop compare
29 function and use strcmp instead. Rename addfold and addir to
30 add_folder and add_children (add dir vs. add folder?
33 2008-12-26 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
35 * sbr/m_getfld.c: fix two bugs which could cause us to walk off
36 the beginning of the stdio or prefix-string buffer when checking
37 for presence of the end-of-message delimiter in some situations.
38 This might cause inc to dump core if you were unlucky. (This was
40 * test/tests/inc/{md5sums,msgheader.txt,test-deb359167,
41 test-eom-align,fromline.txt,filler.txt,deb359167.mbox}: new tests
42 both for the specific problem and to try to check various alignments
43 of the eom string with the stdio buffer ending.
44 * test/common.sh: new file for common utility functions for the
45 test scripts. Moved findprog out of manpage test script into this
46 new file. Added some functions for doing progress indicators.
48 2008-12-25 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
50 * test/runtest: automatically run setup-test if it hasn't already
51 been done. Improve error handling in test script with 'set -e'.
53 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
55 * h/mh.h: raised NAMESZ from 128 to 999. RFC 2822 limits line
56 lengths to 998 characters, so a header name can be at most that long.
57 m_getfld limits header names to 2 less than NAMESZ, which is fine,
58 because header names must be followed by a colon. Add one for
61 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
63 * sbr/m_getfld.c: in warning message, use NAMESZ-2 instead of
64 NAMESZ-1 bytes because the message says "exceeds", not
65 "is greater than or equal to".
67 2008-10-23 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
69 * docs/MAIL.FILTERING: added note on removing procmail -f or
70 -r options to try to suppress generation of a "From " line on
73 2008-08-14 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
75 * test/setup-test: Don't run autogen.sh unless needed. Build in a
76 blddir under the temporary directory so as not to interfere with
77 whatever the developer may be doing in the source directory.
78 If the temporary directory already exists, rebuild and install it.
80 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
82 * sbr/ambigsw.c: Send print_sw output to stderr. This avoids
83 strange problems with scan `pick -bogus`, not to mention being
86 * sbr/getans.c, sbr/print_help.c, uip/msh.c: Send print_sw output
89 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/print_sw.c (print_sw): Add FILE * argument
90 and send output there rather than to stdout.
92 * test/tests/pick/test-stderr: Add test that error messages don't
93 end up going to stdout.
95 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
97 * uip/pick.c: Print matching messages immediately, instead of
98 waiting until the very end to print anything.
99 Ensure valid sequence name as soon as we parse it from command,
100 instead of searching the messages first.
102 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
104 * uip/Makefile.in, uip/popi.c: Remove popi.c, which has been dead
105 since PatchSet 257 (2000/06/12 11:07:34 UTC).
107 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
109 * h/mhparse.h: Move interfaces also used by mhbuildsbr.c here
112 * uip/Makefile.in (mhbuild): Build with mhparse.o.
114 * uip/mhbuildsbr.c: Drop the duplication of mhparse.c.
116 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
117 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c: Drop check swdeclaration, which is
120 * uip/mhparse.c: Move some declarations to mhparse.h, and remove
121 'static' from the definitions here.
122 (get_ctinfo): Take magic mhbuild support from mhbuildsbr.c's copy,
124 (incl_name_value, extract_name_value): Move from mhbuildsbr.c to
125 support get_ctinfo change).
126 (get_content, open7Bit): Add Content-Disposition support, added to
127 mhbuildsbr.c's copy in mhbuildsbr.c r1.12 (PatchSet 549).
128 (InitText): Default to CHARSET_UNSPECIFIED instead of "US-ASCII",
129 as mhbuildsbr.c's copy did. Explain termproc.
130 (openBase64, openQuoted, open7Bit): Fix comment from r1.5:
131 suffixes, not prefixes.
132 (openMail): Explain showproc.
134 * test/tests/mhshow/test-cte-binary: Add test for
135 Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary (Debian #136976).
137 * test/tests/mhbuild/test-forw: Add an mhbuild test, testing forw
138 with and without RFC-934 mode. More mhbuild tests would be nice.
140 2008-08-13 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
142 * test/tests/bad-input/test-header: Add test for it.
144 * sbr/m_getfld.c: If we reach the end of the line without finding
145 a ':' when parsing a header field, treat that line as the
146 beginning of the body rather than blowing up. These messages are
147 usually spam, but it's nice to be able to at least scan them.
149 2008-08-12 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
151 * test/tests/mhshow/test-qp: Test various valid and invalid
154 * uip/mhparse.c (openQuoted): Simplify the decode-or-show for loop by
155 peeking ahead to the next byte(s) when encountering '=', and just let
156 invalid escape sequences through as literals (fixes bug #15245).
158 2008-08-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
160 * autogen.sh (new file): add script for running the GNU
161 autotools in the right order
162 * INSTALL: mention that you need to run autogen.sh if you
164 * docs/README.developers: mention autogen.sh rather than
165 suggesting running autoheader and autoconf by hand.
166 * test/setup-test: run autotools via autogen.sh
168 2008-08-08 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
170 * sbr/discard.c, sbr/m_getfld.c, uip/scansbr.c: Add support for
171 DragonFlyBSD stdio (from NetBSD pkgsrc).
173 2008-08-05 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
175 * uip/folder.c: chdir(nmhdir) in main rather than in dodir, which
176 is called many times. Drop the chdir in get_folder_info, which
177 served no purpose at all. If struct stat has d_type (BSD), use
178 that to skip processing (strcmp, stat, and so on) of message
179 files, mostly undoing the slow-down from the last change.
181 * configure.in: Call CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE.
183 * aclocal.m4: Add CHECK_TYPE_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_TYPE from
186 2008-08-04 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
188 * uip/folder.c: Simplify dodir/addir/addfold. Dump hacky
189 over-optimization in addir that tried to avoid readdir after all
190 child directories had been read; this was also trying to support
191 symlinks to directories, but would have been failing (because
192 nlink may have gone to 0 with symlinks to directories remaining)
193 had the lstat usage been correct (lstat doesn't fail for normal
194 directories; should have used S_ISLNK).
196 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
198 * test/setup-test: use 'set -e' so we stop on compile failure.
199 Configure --enable-debug for convenience in debugging.
201 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: bug #23319: rework the way we handle the working
202 directory when invoking the user's shell, so that we don't have
203 issues when the cwd contains a space or shell special character.
204 * test/tests/whatnow/test-attach-detach, test/tests/whatnow/test-cd,
205 test/tests/whatnow/test-ls: test cases for this.
207 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: add 'do { ... } while (0)' wrappers
208 to various multi-statement macros to avoid nasty surprises
209 if the macros are used in if() clauses.
211 * bug #23436: man/scan.man, man/forw.man, man/inc.man,
212 man/mh-chart.man, man/mhmail.man, man/mhshow.man,
213 man/mhstore.man, man/msgchk.man, man/packf.man, man/scan.man:
214 fix minor syntax errors groff warns about.
215 * test/runtest, test/README: allow test cases to report
216 that they have been SKIPped as well as PASS/FAIL
217 * test/tests/manpages/test-manpages - new test which runs groff
218 on the manpages and checks that there are no warnings.
219 * test/runalltests: ignore editor backup files
221 2008-08-03 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
223 * etc/replcomps, etc/replgroupcomps: Trim trailing whitespace from
226 2008-08-03 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
228 * sbr/fmt_compile.c: when doing an if-test on the result
229 of a function which returns a string result, check whether
230 the string is non-empty (as the documentation says we do).
231 Previously we were always testing the integer 'value'. Bug
232 spotted by Eric Gillespie.
233 * test/tests/repl/test-if-str: test case for this bug
235 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
237 * test/setup-test: Run 'make clean' before building
239 2008-07-24 Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>
241 * test/runtest: cat test-temp-dir only once. Destroy and create
242 test Mail hierarchy here, so each test has its own independent
245 * test/setup-test: Drop needless pushd/popd, which don't exist in
246 sh anyway. Don't use aclocal, which is part of automake.
247 Don't create Mail hierarchy here (see test/runtest).
249 * test/tests/folder/test-create, tests/folder/test-total: Drop
252 * tests/pick/test-pick: Remove failing no-op test.
254 * test/tests/scan/test-scan: Write expected and actual output to
255 files and diff them. This way, if the output differs, diff
256 provides the FAILing exit code and shows the differences.
258 2008-06-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
259 * man/repl.man, etc/mhl.reply:
260 Add an attribution line when replying to messages.
262 2008-06-02 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
264 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, sbr/done.c, uip/inc.c,
265 uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhlist.c, uip/mhn.c, uip/mhshow.c,
266 uip/mhstore.c, uip/mhtest.c, uip/packf.c, uip/pick.c,
267 uip/rcvdist.c, uip/rcvstore.c, uip/sendsbr.c: when
268 building on gcc, use the noreturn attribute on various
269 functions (should improve code and avoid some spurious
270 'uninitialized variable' warnings).
272 2008-06-01 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
274 * docs/README.developers: update the bits about doing a
275 release announcement, now I've actually done one.
277 2008-05-22 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
279 * uip/scansbr.c: don't use MB_CUR_MAX if we aren't compiled
280 with multibyte support.
282 * uip/whatnowsbr.c: factor out common code for writing ls
283 shell command, and make it do more sensible buffer length
284 checks. Also avoid relying on the return value of sprintf(),
285 as some old systems don't return number of characters written.
287 2008-05-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
289 * sbr/utils.c (mh_xrealloc): don't assume realloc() can
290 handle NULL pointers; some non-POSIX realloc()s can't.
292 * sbr/dtimep.lex: add some table size declarations for the
293 benefit of elderly lexes with small defaults.
295 2008-05-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
297 * sbr/addrsbr.c: removed "err" from conditional, because gcc
298 correctly warned that it would always evaluate as true. It's
299 the address of a static array.
301 2008-05-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
303 * sbr/Makefile.in, config/Makefile.in: Don't use $< in target rules
304 in makefiles, as POSIX says it's only defined in inference rules.
306 2008-05-13 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
308 * configure.in, INSTALL: if --enable-masquerade is not
309 specified to configure, enable all supported masquerade forms.
310 This allows users to masquerade with the default
311 configuration. That seems to be more worthwhile now than
312 trying to prevent users from using it, especially with
313 single-user installations or those where a user can edit
316 2008-05-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
318 * bug #23167: sbr/ruserpass.c (ruserpass): make bad permissions
319 on .netrc be an instantly fatal error. Previously we returned
320 an error value; however, no caller was checking it. So now
321 ruserpass() has a void return type.
323 * bug #23163: various minor fixes for the benefit of
324 older Unixes (specifically SunOS 4):
325 reintroduce strerror() substitute implementation
326 provide memmove() substitute implementation
328 * bug #23163: fix accidentally broken 'build outside
329 source directory' feature
331 * bug #23162: sbr/dtime.c: fix stray HAVE_TM_GMTOFF that
332 wasn't updated to the new macro name.
334 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
336 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
337 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
338 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
341 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
343 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
344 is the wrong approach.
346 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
347 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
348 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
351 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
352 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
353 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
354 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
355 broken for continued lines from the server.
357 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
359 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
360 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
362 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
364 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
366 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
369 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
371 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
373 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
375 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
376 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
377 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
378 obsolete feature of autoconf
380 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
382 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
383 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
384 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
386 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
388 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
389 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
391 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
393 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
396 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
398 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
399 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
400 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
401 following done() (should never be reached).
403 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
405 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
406 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
408 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
410 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
411 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
413 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
415 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
416 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
417 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
418 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
419 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
420 acconfig.h if you must.
422 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
424 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
425 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
426 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
427 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
429 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
431 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
434 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
436 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
437 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
438 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
439 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
440 have Content-Disposition.
442 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
444 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
447 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
449 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
450 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
452 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
454 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
455 encoded block is empty
457 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
459 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
460 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
461 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
464 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
466 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
467 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
470 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
472 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
473 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
474 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
475 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
478 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
479 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
481 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
483 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
484 function num_digits into utils.c
486 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
488 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
489 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
490 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
492 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
494 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
495 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
496 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
497 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
498 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
499 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
500 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
501 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
503 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
505 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
506 Content-Disposition header.
508 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
510 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
511 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
512 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
513 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
514 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
515 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
516 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
517 users to easily accomodate that by adding
518 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
520 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
522 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
523 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
525 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
527 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
529 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
530 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
532 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
533 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
535 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
537 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
538 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
539 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
540 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
541 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
544 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
546 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
547 widths, restoring right justification feature
549 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
551 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
552 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
553 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
555 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
558 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
560 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
561 handling multi column characters.
563 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
565 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
567 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
569 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
570 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
573 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
575 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
577 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
579 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
582 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
584 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
587 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
589 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
590 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
591 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
592 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
594 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
596 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
597 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
598 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
599 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
600 where configure's autodetection fails.
602 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
604 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
605 configure script change.
607 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
609 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
610 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
611 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
614 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
616 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
617 the context is only read once.
619 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
621 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
622 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
624 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
626 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
627 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
629 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
630 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
633 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
634 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
637 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
639 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
640 vi isn't found during build.
642 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
644 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
645 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
647 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
648 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
649 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
651 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
653 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
654 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
656 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
657 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
658 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
659 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
662 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
663 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
664 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
666 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
667 entry in the context file.
669 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
671 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
672 problems on some systems
674 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
675 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
677 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
679 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
680 sendmail isn't found during build.
682 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
684 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
686 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
688 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
689 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
691 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
692 references to the web page and mailing list locations
694 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
695 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
697 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
700 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
702 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
703 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
704 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
706 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
707 was configured with --enable-apop.
709 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
710 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
711 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
713 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
714 new versions of flex.
716 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
717 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
718 doesn't guess wrongly.
720 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
722 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
723 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
725 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
726 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
728 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
729 files with numbers as names
731 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
733 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
735 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
737 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
739 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
740 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
742 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
744 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
747 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
748 test/report error writing to stdout
750 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
752 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
754 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
755 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
756 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
758 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
759 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
760 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
762 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
764 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
765 character set used by the current locale
767 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
768 message's filename overflows an int when converted
770 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
771 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
773 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
775 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
778 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
780 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
781 from Michael Richardson.
783 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
784 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
786 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
788 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
789 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
791 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
793 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
794 find sub-parts of the specified part
796 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
798 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
799 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
800 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
801 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
802 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
803 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
804 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
807 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
809 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
810 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
811 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
814 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
815 refiling with -src option.
817 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
819 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
821 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
823 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
824 mailpath being overwritten.
826 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
828 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
829 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
830 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
831 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
832 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
833 reinitializes the tmp file string.
835 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
836 if a format string was read from the profile.
838 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
839 path for the external hook.
841 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
843 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
844 another location for ndbm.
846 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
848 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
850 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
852 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
855 136976 - Handle binary content messages
856 143427 - mh-format.man typo
857 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
858 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
859 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
860 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
861 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
862 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
863 181867 - typo for nmh.man
865 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
867 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
868 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
869 contitional code which will result in cached data to
870 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
871 and parse on the first use.
872 * Remove some unused flag bits.
874 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
876 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
877 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
879 #578 - repl leaks umask
880 #1393 - sortm core dumps
881 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
882 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
883 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
885 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
886 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
888 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
890 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
891 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
893 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
895 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
896 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
897 to docs/README.about.
899 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
901 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
903 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
904 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
905 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
906 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
909 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
911 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
912 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
913 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
914 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
915 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
916 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
919 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
920 summary configure prints out.
922 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
923 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
924 subjectively more readable) format.
926 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
928 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
931 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
933 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
934 19xx when it's not necessary.
936 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
938 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
939 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
942 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
943 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
944 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
945 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
946 the man pages correctly.
948 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
950 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
952 * Finished manpages ali-prev
954 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
955 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
956 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
959 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
960 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
961 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
962 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
964 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
966 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
967 the formatting rules I've been using.
971 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
973 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
974 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
975 used in the manpages.
977 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
978 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
979 read in the contents of the file as the variable
982 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
983 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
984 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
985 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
986 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
987 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
988 bold flags and italicized parameters.
990 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
992 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
993 --with-locking option.
995 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
996 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
997 information was not being communicated to the
998 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
999 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
1000 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
1001 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
1002 undefined symbols problems.
1004 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
1005 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
1006 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
1007 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
1008 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
1009 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
1010 for a genuine krb4 installation.
1012 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1014 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
1015 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1017 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1019 * Made a new ./configure option called
1020 "--with-locking" that allows the file
1021 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
1022 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
1024 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
1025 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
1026 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
1027 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
1028 the user that these are the valid options, and
1029 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
1032 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1034 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
1035 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
1036 committed to supporting flex only, since
1037 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
1038 string, as well as other problems documented
1039 below and on nmh-workers.
1041 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
1042 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
1043 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
1046 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
1047 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
1049 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1051 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
1052 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
1053 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
1055 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1057 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
1058 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
1060 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1062 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
1063 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
1064 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
1065 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
1066 couldn't correctly identify them.
1068 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1070 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
1071 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
1072 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
1073 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
1074 not depending on an external archive.
1076 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
1077 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
1078 mts/generic is no longer built.
1080 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
1083 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
1084 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
1085 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
1086 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
1087 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
1088 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
1089 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
1091 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1093 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
1094 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
1097 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1099 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
1100 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
1101 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
1104 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
1105 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
1106 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
1107 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
1109 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
1110 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
1111 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
1112 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
1113 merged into the smtp code).
1115 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
1116 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
1117 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
1120 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
1121 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
1122 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
1123 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
1124 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
1125 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
1126 in the appropriate Makefile.in
1128 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1130 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
1131 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
1132 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
1133 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
1134 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
1135 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
1136 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
1137 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
1138 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
1139 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
1140 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
1142 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1144 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
1145 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
1146 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
1147 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
1148 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
1149 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
1150 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
1151 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
1152 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
1154 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1156 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
1157 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
1158 able to access them.
1160 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1162 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
1163 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
1165 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1167 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
1168 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
1169 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
1170 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
1172 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1174 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
1175 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
1176 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
1177 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
1178 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
1180 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
1181 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
1183 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
1185 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1187 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
1188 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
1189 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
1190 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
1192 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
1193 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
1194 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
1195 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
1197 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
1198 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
1199 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
1200 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
1202 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
1203 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
1204 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
1206 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
1208 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
1209 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
1210 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
1211 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
1212 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
1213 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
1216 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
1217 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
1219 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
1220 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
1222 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1224 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
1226 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1228 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
1229 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
1230 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
1231 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
1233 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1235 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
1236 be easily changed from "," to "#".
1238 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
1240 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
1242 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
1243 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
1246 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1248 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
1249 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
1250 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
1251 but not for the subsequent data stream.
1253 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
1255 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
1256 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
1257 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
1258 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
1259 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
1261 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1263 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
1264 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
1266 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
1267 cat, also define lorder as echo.
1269 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
1271 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1273 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
1274 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
1275 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
1277 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1279 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
1282 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
1283 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
1285 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1287 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
1288 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
1290 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1292 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
1293 inc does not need to be setgid.
1295 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1297 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
1298 library, as found on Debian systems.
1300 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
1302 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1304 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
1305 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
1306 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
1307 case-insensitivity flag.
1309 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1311 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
1312 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
1314 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1316 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
1317 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
1318 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
1319 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
1320 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
1321 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
1322 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
1323 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
1324 getting moved aside).
1326 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
1327 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
1329 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
1331 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
1332 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1333 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1334 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1335 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1336 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1337 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1338 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1339 the prototype, but never sets it.
1341 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1342 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1343 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1344 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1345 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1346 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1348 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1349 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1350 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1351 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1352 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1354 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1356 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1357 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1360 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1361 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1362 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1363 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1364 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1365 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1366 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1368 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1370 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1372 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1373 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1374 this works on other systems.
1376 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1378 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1379 checks for write failures.
1381 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1383 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1385 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1388 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1390 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1392 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1394 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1395 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1398 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1400 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1401 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1402 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1403 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1405 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1407 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1408 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1411 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1412 as well as Makefiles.
1414 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1416 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1417 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1418 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1419 should make maintainability easier.
1421 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1422 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1423 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1424 whatever you know works.
1426 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1428 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1429 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1430 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1432 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1433 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1434 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1435 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1437 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1438 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1439 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1441 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1442 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1443 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1444 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1445 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1447 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1448 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1449 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1450 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1451 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1452 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1453 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1454 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1455 from the BSD version.
1457 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1458 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1459 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1461 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1462 in ruserpass.c also.
1464 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1467 This happens on solaris:
1470 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1471 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1475 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1477 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1478 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1480 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1482 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1483 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1484 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1485 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1486 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1487 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1488 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1489 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1490 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1491 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1492 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1494 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1495 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1496 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1497 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1498 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1499 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1502 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1503 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1504 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1505 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1506 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1508 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1509 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1511 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1513 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1514 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1515 to stdin, such as exmh.
1517 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1518 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1519 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1522 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1524 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1525 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1526 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1527 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1528 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1529 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1530 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1532 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1534 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1535 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1537 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1540 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1542 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1544 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1547 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1548 along with any -host or -user option.
1550 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1554 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1555 process was fresh in my mind.
1557 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1559 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1560 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1562 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1564 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1566 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1569 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1570 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1571 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1572 part of the program's name.
1574 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1575 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1578 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1580 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1581 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1582 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1583 single-character format would cause programs using this
1584 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1585 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1586 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1587 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1

1592 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1593 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1594 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1595 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1596 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1597 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1599 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1600 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1601 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1602 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1603 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1604 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1605 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1606 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1608 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1609 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1610 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1611 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1612 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1613 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1614 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1615 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1616 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1617 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1619 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1621 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1622 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1624 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1625 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1627 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1632 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1634 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1635 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1636 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1637 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1639 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1640 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1641 problem in the routine.
1643 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1645 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1646 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1648 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1649 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1650 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1653 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1655 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1656 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1657 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1658 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1659 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1660 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1661 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1662 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1663 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1664 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1666 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1668 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1669 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1670 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1671 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1672 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1673 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1674 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1675 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1676 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1677 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1678 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1679 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1681 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1682 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1683 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1684 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1685 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1687 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1690 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1692 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1693 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1694 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1695 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1698 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1700 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1702 * Applied, after some finessing,
1703 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1705 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1707 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1709 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1710 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1711 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1712 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1714 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1716 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1717 forgetting to do so!).
1719 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1720 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1721 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1722 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1723 arguments to enable all three types.
1725 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1726 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1728 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1729 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1730 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1731 updated copy of mts.conf.
1733 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1735 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1736 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1737 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1739 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1741 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1743 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1744 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1745 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1747 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1748 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1749 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1751 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1752 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1753 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1755 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1757 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1759 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1761 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1763 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1764 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1766 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1767 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1768 certain suffix to run properly.
1770 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1771 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1772 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1774 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1775 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1776 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1777 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1778 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1779 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1780 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1782 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1784 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1785 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1786 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1787 until some year far in the future).
1789 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1791 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1793 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1794 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1796 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1797 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1800 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1802 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1803 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1804 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1805 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1806 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1807 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1809 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1811 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1813 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1814 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1815 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1817 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1818 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1819 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1820 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1821 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1822 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1825 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1826 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1827 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1828 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1829 of masquerading individually.
1831 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1832 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1833 GECOS field delimiters.
1835 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1837 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1838 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1839 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1840 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1841 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1842 and explaining the feature.
1844 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1846 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1847 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1850 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1851 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1852 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1854 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1855 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1856 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1857 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1859 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1860 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1861 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1864 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1866 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1867 code to be executed.
1869 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1871 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1873 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1874 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1875 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1876 quotes embedded in them.
1878 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1880 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1881 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1882 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1883 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1884 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1885 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1886 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1889 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1890 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1891 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1892 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1893 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1895 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1897 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1899 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1900 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1901 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1902 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1904 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1907 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1909 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1911 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1913 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1914 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1915 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1917 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1920 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1922 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1923 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1924 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1925 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1926 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1927 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1929 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1930 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1932 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1934 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1937 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1939 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1940 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1941 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1944 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1945 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1946 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1947 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1948 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1949 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1950 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1951 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1952 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1953 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1954 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1955 processing that post has).
1957 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1959 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1960 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1961 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1962 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1963 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1964 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1967 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1969 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1971 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1973 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1975 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1976 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1978 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1981 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1983 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1984 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1985 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1988 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1990 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1991 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1992 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1993 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1994 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1995 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1997 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1999 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
2001 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2003 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
2004 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
2005 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
2006 caught again. This works for now.
2008 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
2010 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2012 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
2013 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
2015 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2017 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
2018 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
2020 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
2022 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
2024 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2026 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
2027 changes. Both need more cleanup.
2029 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2031 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
2032 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
2033 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
2034 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
2035 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
2038 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2040 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
2041 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
2042 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
2044 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
2045 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
2048 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2050 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
2051 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
2052 to a directory on another device with more free space.
2054 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2056 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
2057 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
2059 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
2061 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
2064 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
2065 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
2067 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
2068 macros, regardless of platform.
2070 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
2071 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2073 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
2074 with x-conversions=gzip.
2076 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2078 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
2081 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
2082 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
2083 implicit definition of ioctl().
2085 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
2086 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
2087 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
2088 want to mess with them.
2090 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2092 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
2093 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
2095 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
2096 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2098 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
2099 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
2100 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
2102 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
2103 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
2104 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
2106 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
2107 function initgroups.
2109 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
2112 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
2113 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
2116 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
2117 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
2120 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
2121 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
2125 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2127 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
2128 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
2129 preventing compilation on at least linux.
2131 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
2132 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
2134 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2136 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
2138 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
2139 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
2140 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
2141 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
2143 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
2144 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
2146 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2148 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
2150 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2152 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
2153 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
2155 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
2157 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
2158 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
2160 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
2161 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
2162 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
2163 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
2165 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
2166 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
2168 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2170 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
2171 substitute it for mktemp if available.
2173 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
2175 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
2176 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
2179 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2181 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
2183 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
2185 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
2186 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2188 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
2189 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
2190 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
2192 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
2193 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
2194 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
2196 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
2197 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
2198 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2200 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
2201 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
2204 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
2205 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2207 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
2208 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2210 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
2211 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
2213 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
2214 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
2215 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2217 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
2218 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
2220 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
2221 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
2222 <elleron@servtech.com>.
2224 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
2225 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
2228 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
2229 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
2231 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
2232 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
2233 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
2234 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
2236 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
2237 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
2239 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2243 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
2244 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
2245 would not be changed.
2247 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
2248 one from the Apache web server.
2250 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
2251 (this should have been done a long time ago).
2253 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
2254 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
2255 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
2257 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
2259 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
2261 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
2262 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
2265 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
2266 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
2267 removes a bad race condition.
2269 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
2272 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
2273 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
2274 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
2276 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
2277 sequence information.
2279 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
2280 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
2282 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
2285 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
2288 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
2290 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
2291 interpret 034 as octal.
2293 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
2295 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
2296 mhstore, and mhbuild.
2298 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
2299 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
2301 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
2302 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
2304 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
2305 in the c_cefile structure when building.
2307 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
2308 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
2310 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
2311 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
2312 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
2314 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
2315 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
2316 and mhshow. Updated man pages
2318 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
2320 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
2322 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
2323 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
2326 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
2328 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
2329 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
2331 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
2332 header field information.
2334 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2335 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2337 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2338 values when parsing a content.
2340 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2341 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2343 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2344 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2346 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2347 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2349 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2350 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2352 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2354 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2356 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2358 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2360 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2361 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2364 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2365 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2367 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2368 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2369 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2370 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2371 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2372 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2375 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2377 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2378 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2379 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2381 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2382 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2384 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2386 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2387 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2388 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2389 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2391 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2392 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2395 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2396 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2397 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2398 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2401 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2403 * Released nmh-0.27.
2405 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2406 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2408 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2409 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2410 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2411 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2414 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2415 mhbuild returns an error.
2417 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2418 rename the draft file.
2420 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2421 use a global variable.
2423 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2424 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2426 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2427 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2429 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2430 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2431 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2433 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2434 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2436 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2437 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2440 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2441 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2444 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2445 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2447 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2448 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2449 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2451 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2452 to new function output_content_folder.
2454 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2455 new function output_content_file.
2457 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2458 to new function parse_format_string.
2460 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2461 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2462 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2463 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2465 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2466 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2467 message/external file from ftp.
2469 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2470 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2471 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2473 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2474 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2477 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2480 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2481 new file mhstoresbr.c
2483 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2486 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2487 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2489 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2490 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2492 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2493 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2494 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2496 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2498 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2500 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2501 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2504 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2505 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2507 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2510 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2512 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2514 * Released nmh-0.26.
2516 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2517 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2518 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2519 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2521 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2522 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2523 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2524 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2525 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2527 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2528 But it is not on by default.
2530 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2531 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2533 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2535 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2537 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2539 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2541 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2542 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2544 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2546 * Released nmh-0.25.
2548 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2549 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2550 uses the original name of the library.
2552 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2553 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2556 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2557 list_content and list_debug.
2559 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2561 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2562 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2564 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2566 * Released nmh-0.24.
2568 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2570 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2571 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2573 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2574 large sequence line.
2576 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2578 * Released nmh-0.23.
2580 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2582 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2583 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2584 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2585 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2587 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2588 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2591 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2593 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2595 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2597 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2598 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2600 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2601 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2603 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2604 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2606 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2607 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2609 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611 * Released nmh-0.22.
2613 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2614 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2616 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2618 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2619 mh-profile(5) man page.
2621 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2622 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2624 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2628 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2629 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2631 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2633 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2634 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2635 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2637 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2638 source message on the standard input.
2640 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2642 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2643 rather than -rfc934mode.
2645 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2646 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2649 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2650 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2652 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2655 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2657 * Released nmh-0.21.
2659 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2660 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2662 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2665 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2666 to use for text contents.
2668 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2670 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2672 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2674 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2676 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2677 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2679 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2680 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2681 spaces between encoded word are.
2683 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2685 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2686 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2688 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2689 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2690 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2692 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2694 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2695 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2697 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2699 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2701 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2702 ISO-8859-X character set.
2704 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2707 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2708 permissions, not write permissions.
2710 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2711 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2713 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2716 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2718 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2720 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2721 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2723 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2724 message contains valid character set.
2726 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2727 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2729 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2730 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2732 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2733 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2734 between an encoded word and normal text.
2736 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2737 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2739 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2740 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2742 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2745 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2746 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2749 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2750 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2752 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2753 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2755 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2757 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2759 * Released nmh-0.20.
2761 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2763 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2765 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2766 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2767 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2769 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2770 and the To: line was missing.
2772 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2774 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2778 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2779 watch the POP transaction.
2781 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2782 first, and use it if available.
2784 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2785 first, and use it if available.
2787 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2789 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2791 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2792 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2793 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2796 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2797 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2798 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2800 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2801 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2804 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2806 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2807 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2809 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2811 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2812 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2814 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2815 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2816 message to which you are replying.
2818 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2819 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2820 making group replies.
2822 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2824 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2826 * Released nmh-0.19.
2828 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2829 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2831 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2832 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2833 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2834 to the end of the man page.
2836 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2837 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2838 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2839 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2840 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2841 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2843 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2846 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2847 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2848 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2850 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2851 the next available number above the message number you wish
2854 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2855 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2857 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2858 file sbr/seq_print.c
2860 * flist will now update the current folder.
2862 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2863 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2864 but now undocumented.
2866 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2869 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2870 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2872 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2874 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2875 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2877 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2879 * Released nmh-0.18.
2881 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2882 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2883 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2885 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2886 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2888 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2889 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2890 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2891 previous public/private status.
2893 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2896 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2899 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2900 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2901 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2903 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2904 take option to determine whether it should get current
2905 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2906 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2908 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2910 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2911 wait for stopped processes.
2913 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2914 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2916 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2918 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2920 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2921 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2923 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2924 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2926 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2927 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2928 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2929 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2931 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2934 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2937 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2939 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2940 the debugging output.
2942 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2943 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2945 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2947 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2949 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2950 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2952 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2954 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2955 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2956 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2957 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2958 in the given sequence.
2960 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2961 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2962 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2963 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2964 subdirectories of a given directory.
2966 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2967 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2968 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2970 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2971 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2973 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2975 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2978 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2979 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2980 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2982 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2983 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2984 are calculated at runtime.
2986 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2990 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2991 about checking for global mh.profile.
2993 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2994 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2995 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2996 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2997 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2998 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
3000 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
3001 adding message to folder itself.
3003 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
3004 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
3005 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
3008 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
3009 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
3012 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
3013 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
3014 is the same as the direct smtp code).
3016 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
3017 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
3019 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
3020 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
3021 code to use it yet).
3023 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3025 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
3027 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
3028 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
3030 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
3031 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
3033 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
3035 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
3038 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
3042 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
3044 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
3046 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
3047 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
3049 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
3051 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
3053 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
3055 * Removed all the code for BERK.
3057 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
3059 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
3060 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
3062 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
3063 configuration files.
3065 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
3067 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3069 * Released nmh-0.17.
3071 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
3073 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
3074 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
3076 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
3079 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
3080 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
3082 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
3083 number of refiled message.
3085 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
3087 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
3088 for return value of wait().
3090 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
3092 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3094 * Released nmh-0.16.
3096 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
3100 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
3101 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
3102 deal with binary messages, yet).
3104 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
3106 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
3108 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
3109 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
3110 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
3111 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
3112 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
3113 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
3115 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
3116 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
3118 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
3119 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
3121 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
3122 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
3125 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
3127 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
3129 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
3130 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
3133 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
3136 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
3138 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
3139 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
3140 which used unsigned chars by default.
3142 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3144 * Released nmh-0.15.
3146 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
3147 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
3149 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
3151 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
3153 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
3156 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
3157 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
3158 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
3160 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
3161 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
3163 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
3165 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
3166 they conflict with defines on AIX.
3168 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
3169 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
3170 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
3171 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
3173 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
3174 and put in own subroutine.
3176 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
3177 and put in own subroutine.
3179 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
3180 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
3181 refile.c to use new routine.
3183 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3185 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
3187 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
3190 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
3191 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
3192 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
3194 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
3197 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
3198 adding message to sequence.
3200 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
3201 corresponding file in sbr.
3203 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
3206 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
3208 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
3209 all selected messages from a sequence.
3211 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
3212 selected messages to a sequence.
3214 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
3217 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3219 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
3220 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
3222 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3224 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
3225 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
3227 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
3230 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

3234 * Released nmh-0.14.
3236 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
3237 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
3239 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3241 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
3242 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
3243 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
3244 environment variable.
3246 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
3247 draft folder facility in nmh.
3249 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
3252 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

3256 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
3259 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3261 * Released nmh-0.13.
3263 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
3264 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
3265 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
3266 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
3269 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
3270 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
3272 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3274 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
3275 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
3277 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
3280 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
3282 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Released nmh-0.12.
3286 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.
3288 * Released nmh-0.11.
3290 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3292 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
3293 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
3295 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
3296 mp->attrstats with macros.
3298 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
3301 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
3304 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
3305 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
3307 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
3308 will suppress the display of the message header.
3310 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
3312 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
3313 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
3315 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
3317 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
3319 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
3321 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
3322 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
3324 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
3325 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
3327 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
3329 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
3331 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
3332 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3334 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3335 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
3337 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3339 * Released nmh-0.10.
3341 Sun Mar 30 21:46:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3343 * Add configure check for <locale.h>. Turn on LOCALE support
3346 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3348 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
3349 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
3351 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
3352 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
3354 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
3355 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
3357 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3359 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3360 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3362 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3364 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
3365 of missing tabs in regex.
3367 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3369 * Released nmh-0.09.
3371 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
3373 * Add configure check for killpg.

3385 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3387 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
3389 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
3390 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
3392 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3394 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3395 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3397 * Released nmh-0.08.
3399 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3400 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3401 locking database itself.
3403 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3405 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3407 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3408 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3411 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3412 rather than mmdf format.
3414 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3415 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3416 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3417 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3419 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3421 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3423 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3426 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3427 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3428 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3430 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3431 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3432 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3434 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3436 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3437 can still easily change this in config.h).
3439 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3440 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3441 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3443 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3445 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
3446 than tzset and external timezone variable.
3448 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3450 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
3452 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing

3457 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3459 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3460 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3462 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3463 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3466 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3467 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3469 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3470 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3472 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
3474 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
3476 * Added configure check for tzset.

3480 * Released nmh-0.06.
3482 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3483 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3485 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3486 many such machines around anymore.
3488 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3489 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3491 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3492 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3494 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3496 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3497 pre-generated version if necessary.
3499 * Released nmh-0.05.
3501 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3502 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3503 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3504 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3506 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3507 be linked in one pass.
3509 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3511 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3512 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3514 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3516 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3518 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3520 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3521 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3522 become the current folder.
3524 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3526 * Released nmh-0.04.
3528 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3531 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3533 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3534 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3535 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3537 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3539 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3540 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3542 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3544 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3545 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3548 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3549 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3551 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3553 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3554 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3555 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3556 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3557 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3558 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3560 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3562 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3563 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3565 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3566 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3568 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3570 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3571 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3573 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3575 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3576 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3577 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3579 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3581 * Released nmh-0.03.
3583 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3584 .mh_sequence file existed.
3586 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3587 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3589 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3590 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3593 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3595 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3598 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3600 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3601 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3602 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3604 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3606 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3607 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3608 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3610 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3612 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3613 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3615 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3617 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3619 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3620 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3621 directory from where the source code is located.
3623 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3625 * Released nmh-0.02.
3627 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3632 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3634 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3635 and sys_nerr directly.
3637 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3639 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3641 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3643 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3645 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3646 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3647 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3648 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3649 rather than in script.
3651 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3653 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3655 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3656 macro defined on Solaris.
3658 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3660 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3661 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3663 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3664 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3665 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3666 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3669 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3671 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3672 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3674 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3677 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3679 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3681 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3682 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3684 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3686 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3687 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3689 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3691 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3692 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3693 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3694 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3695 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3696 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3698 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3700 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3702 * Released nmh-0.01.
3704 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3705 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3706 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3709 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3711 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3714 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3716 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3717 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3719 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3721 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3722 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3723 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3724 script to find_program.
3726 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3728 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3729 speed up -recurse option.
3731 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3732 yet, but it compiles :-)
3734 * Changed default location for install to
3735 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3736 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3737 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3740 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3741 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3742 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
