3 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
4 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
5 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
6 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
7 where configure's autodetection fails.
9 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
11 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
12 configure script change.
14 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
16 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
17 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
18 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
21 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
23 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
24 the context is only read once.
26 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
28 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
29 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
31 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
33 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
34 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
36 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
37 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
40 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
41 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
44 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
46 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
47 vi isn't found during build.
49 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
51 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
52 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
54 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
55 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
56 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
58 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
60 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
61 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
63 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
64 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
65 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
66 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
69 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
70 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
71 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
73 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
74 entry in the context file.
76 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
78 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
79 problems on some systems
81 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
82 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
84 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
86 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
87 sendmail isn't found during build.
89 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
91 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
93 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
95 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
96 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
98 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
99 references to the web page and mailing list locations
101 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
102 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
104 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
107 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
109 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
110 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
111 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
113 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
114 was configured with --enable-apop.
116 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
117 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
118 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
120 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
121 new versions of flex.
123 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
124 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
125 doesn't guess wrongly.
127 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
129 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
130 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
132 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
133 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
135 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
136 files with numbers as names
138 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
140 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
142 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
144 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
146 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
147 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
149 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
151 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
154 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
155 test/report error writing to stdout
157 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
159 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
161 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
162 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
163 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
165 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
166 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
167 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
169 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
171 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
172 character set used by the current locale
174 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
175 message's filename overflows an int when converted
177 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
178 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
180 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
182 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
185 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
187 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
188 from Michael Richardson.
190 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
191 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
193 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
195 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
196 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
198 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
200 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
201 find sub-parts of the specified part
203 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
205 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
206 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
207 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
208 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
209 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
210 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
211 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
214 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
216 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
217 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
218 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
221 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
222 refiling with -src option.
224 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
226 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
228 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
230 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
231 mailpath being overwritten.
233 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
235 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
236 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
237 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
238 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
239 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
240 reinitializes the tmp file string.
242 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
243 if a format string was read from the profile.
245 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
246 path for the external hook.
248 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
250 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
251 another location for ndbm.
253 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
255 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
257 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
259 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
262 136976 - Handle binary content messages
263 143427 - mh-format.man typo
264 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
265 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
266 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
267 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
268 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
269 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
270 181867 - typo for nmh.man
272 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
274 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
275 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
276 contitional code which will result in cached data to
277 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
278 and parse on the first use.
279 * Remove some unused flag bits.
281 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
283 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
284 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
286 #578 - repl leaks umask
287 #1393 - sortm core dumps
288 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
289 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
290 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
292 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
293 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
295 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
297 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
298 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
300 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
302 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
303 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
304 to docs/README.about.
306 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
308 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
310 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
311 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
312 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
313 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
316 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
318 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
319 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
320 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
321 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
322 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
323 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
326 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
327 summary configure prints out.
329 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
330 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
331 subjectively more readable) format.
333 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
335 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
338 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
340 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
341 19xx when it's not necessary.
343 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
345 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
346 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
349 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
350 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
351 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
352 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
353 the man pages correctly.
355 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
357 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
359 * Finished manpages ali-prev
361 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
362 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
363 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
366 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
367 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
368 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
369 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
371 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
373 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
374 the formatting rules I've been using.
378 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
380 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
381 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
382 used in the manpages.
384 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
385 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
386 read in the contents of the file as the variable
389 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
390 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
391 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
392 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
393 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
394 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
395 bold flags and italicized parameters.
397 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
399 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
400 --with-locking option.
402 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
403 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
404 information was not being communicated to the
405 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
406 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
407 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
408 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
409 undefined symbols problems.
411 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
412 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
413 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
414 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
415 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
416 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
417 for a genuine krb4 installation.
419 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
421 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
422 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
424 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
426 * Made a new ./configure option called
427 "--with-locking" that allows the file
428 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
429 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
431 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
432 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
433 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
434 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
435 the user that these are the valid options, and
436 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
439 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
441 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
442 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
443 committed to supporting flex only, since
444 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
445 string, as well as other problems documented
446 below and on nmh-workers.
448 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
449 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
450 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
453 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
454 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
456 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
458 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
459 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
460 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
462 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
464 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
465 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
467 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
469 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
470 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
471 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
472 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
473 couldn't correctly identify them.
475 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
477 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
478 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
479 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
480 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
481 not depending on an external archive.
483 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
484 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
485 mts/generic is no longer built.
487 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
489 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
490 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
491 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
492 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
493 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
494 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
495 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
496 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
498 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
500 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
501 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
504 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
506 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
507 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
508 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
511 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
512 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
513 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
514 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
516 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
517 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
518 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
519 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
520 merged into the smtp code).
522 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
523 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
524 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
527 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
528 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
529 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
530 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
531 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
532 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
533 in the appropriate Makefile.in
535 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
537 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
538 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
539 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
540 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
541 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
542 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
543 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
544 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
545 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
546 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
547 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
549 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
551 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
552 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
553 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
554 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
555 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
556 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
557 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
558 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
559 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
561 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
563 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
564 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
567 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
569 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
570 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
572 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
574 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
575 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
576 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
577 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
579 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
581 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
582 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
583 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
584 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
585 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
587 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
588 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
590 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
592 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
594 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
595 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
596 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
597 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
599 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
600 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
601 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
602 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
604 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
605 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
606 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
607 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
609 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
610 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
611 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
613 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
615 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
616 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
617 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
618 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
619 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
620 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
623 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
624 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
626 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
627 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
629 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
631 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
633 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
635 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
636 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
637 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
638 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
640 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
642 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
643 be easily changed from "," to "#".
645 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
647 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
649 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
650 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
653 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
655 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
656 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
657 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
658 but not for the subsequent data stream.
660 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
662 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
663 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
664 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
665 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
666 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
668 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
670 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
671 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
673 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
674 cat, also define lorder as echo.
676 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
678 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
680 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
681 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
682 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
684 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
686 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
689 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
690 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
692 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
694 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
695 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
697 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
699 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
700 inc does not need to be setgid.
702 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
704 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
705 library, as found on Debian systems.
707 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
709 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
711 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
712 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
713 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
714 case-insensitivity flag.
716 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
718 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
719 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
721 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
723 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
724 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
725 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
726 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
727 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
728 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
729 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
730 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
731 getting moved aside).
733 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
734 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
736 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
738 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
739 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
740 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
741 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
742 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
743 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
744 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
745 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
746 the prototype, but never sets it.
748 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
749 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
750 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
751 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
752 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
753 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
755 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
756 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
757 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
758 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
759 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
761 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
763 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
764 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
767 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
768 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
769 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
770 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
771 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
772 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
773 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
775 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
777 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
779 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
780 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
781 this works on other systems.
783 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
785 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
786 checks for write failures.
788 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
790 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
792 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
795 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
797 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
799 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
801 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
802 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
805 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
807 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
808 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
809 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
810 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
812 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
814 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
815 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
818 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
819 as well as Makefiles.
821 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
823 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
824 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
825 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
826 should make maintainability easier.
828 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
829 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
830 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
831 whatever you know works.
833 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
835 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
836 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
837 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
839 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
840 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
841 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
842 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
844 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
845 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
846 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
848 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
849 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
850 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
851 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
852 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
854 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
855 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
856 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
857 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
858 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
859 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
860 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
861 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
862 from the BSD version.
864 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
865 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
866 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
868 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
871 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
874 This happens on solaris:
877 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
878 No manual entry for mts.conf.
882 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
884 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
885 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
887 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
889 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
890 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
891 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
892 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
893 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
894 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
895 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
896 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
897 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
898 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
899 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
901 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
902 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
903 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
904 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
905 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
906 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
909 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
910 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
911 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
912 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
913 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
915 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
916 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
918 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
920 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
921 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
922 to stdin, such as exmh.
924 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
925 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
926 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
929 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
931 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
932 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
933 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
934 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
935 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
936 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
937 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
939 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
941 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
942 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
944 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
946 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
947 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
949 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
951 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
954 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
955 along with any -host or -user option.
957 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
959 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
961 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
962 process was fresh in my mind.
964 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
966 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
967 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
969 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
971 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
976 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
977 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
978 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
979 part of the program's name.
981 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
982 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
985 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
987 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
988 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
989 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
990 single-character format would cause programs using this
991 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
992 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
993 when the format string was one character. This eventually
994 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
997 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
999 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1000 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1001 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1002 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1003 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1004 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1006 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1007 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1008 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1009 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1010 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1011 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1012 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1013 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1015 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1016 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1017 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1018 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1019 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1020 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1021 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1022 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1023 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1024 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1026 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1028 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1029 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1031 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1032 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1034 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1039 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1041 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1042 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1043 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1044 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1046 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1047 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1048 problem in the routine.
1050 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1052 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1053 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1055 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1056 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1057 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1060 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1062 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1063 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1064 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1065 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1066 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1067 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1068 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1069 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1070 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1071 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.

1075 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1076 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1077 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1078 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1079 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1080 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1081 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1082 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1083 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1084 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1085 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1086 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1088 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1089 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1090 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1091 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1092 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1094 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1097 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1099 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1100 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1101 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1102 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1105 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1107 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1109 * Applied, after some finessing,
1110 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1112 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1114 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1116 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1117 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1118 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1119 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1121 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1123 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1124 forgetting to do so!).
1126 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1127 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1128 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1129 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1130 arguments to enable all three types.
1132 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1133 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1135 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1136 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1137 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1138 updated copy of mts.conf.
1140 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1142 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1143 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1144 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1146 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1148 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1150 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1151 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1152 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1154 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1155 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1156 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1158 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1159 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1160 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1162 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1164 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1166 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1168 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1170 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1171 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1173 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1174 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1175 certain suffix to run properly.
1177 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1178 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1179 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1181 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1182 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1183 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1184 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1185 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1186 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1187 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1189 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1191 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1192 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1193 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1194 until some year far in the future).
1196 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1198 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1200 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1201 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1203 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1204 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1207 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1209 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1210 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1211 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1212 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1213 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1214 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1216 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1218 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1220 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1221 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1222 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1224 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1225 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1226 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1227 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1228 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1229 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1232 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1233 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1234 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1235 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1236 of masquerading individually.
1238 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1239 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1240 GECOS field delimiters.
1242 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1245 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1246 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1247 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1248 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1249 and explaining the feature.
1251 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1253 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1254 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1257 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1258 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1259 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1261 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1262 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1263 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1264 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1266 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1267 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1268 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1271 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1273 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1274 code to be executed.
1276 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1278 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1280 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1281 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1282 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1283 quotes embedded in them.
1285 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1287 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1288 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1289 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1290 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1291 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1292 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1293 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1296 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1297 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1298 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1299 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1300 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1302 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1304 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1306 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1307 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1308 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1309 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1311 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1314 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1316 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1318 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1320 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1321 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1322 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1324 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1327 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1329 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1330 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1331 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1332 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1333 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1334 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1336 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1337 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1339 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1341 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1344 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1346 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1347 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1348 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1351 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1352 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1353 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1354 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1355 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1356 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1357 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1358 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1359 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1360 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1361 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1362 processing that post has).
1364 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1366 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1367 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1368 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1369 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1370 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1371 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1374 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1376 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1378 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1380 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1382 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1383 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1385 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1388 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1390 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1391 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1392 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1395 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1397 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1398 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1399 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1400 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1401 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1402 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1404 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1406 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1408 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1410 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1411 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1412 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1413 caught again. This works for now.
1415 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1417 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1419 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1420 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1422 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1424 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1425 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1427 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1429 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1431 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1433 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1434 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1436 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1438 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1439 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1440 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1441 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1442 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1445 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1447 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1448 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1449 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1451 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1452 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1455 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1457 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1458 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1459 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1461 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1463 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1464 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1466 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1468 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1471 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1472 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1474 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1475 macros, regardless of platform.
1477 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1478 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1480 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1481 with x-conversions=gzip.
1483 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1485 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1488 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1489 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1490 implicit definition of ioctl().
1492 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1493 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1494 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1495 want to mess with them.
1497 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1499 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1500 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1502 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1503 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1505 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1506 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1507 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1509 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1510 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1511 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1513 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1514 function initgroups.
1516 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1519 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1520 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1523 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1524 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1527 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1528 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1532 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1534 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1535 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1536 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1538 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1539 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1541 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1543 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1545 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1546 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1547 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1548 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1550 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1551 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1553 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1555 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1557 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1559 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1560 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1562 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1564 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1565 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1567 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1568 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1569 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1570 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1572 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1573 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1575 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1577 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1578 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1580 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1582 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1583 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1586 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1588 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1590 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1592 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1593 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1595 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1596 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1597 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1599 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1600 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1601 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1603 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1604 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1605 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1607 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1608 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1611 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1612 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1614 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1615 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1617 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1618 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1620 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1621 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1622 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1624 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1625 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1627 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1628 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1629 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1631 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1632 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1635 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1636 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1638 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1639 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1640 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1641 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1643 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1644 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1646 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1650 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1651 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1652 would not be changed.
1654 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1655 one from the Apache web server.
1657 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1658 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1660 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1661 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1662 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1664 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1666 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1668 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1669 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1672 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1673 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1674 removes a bad race condition.
1676 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1679 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1680 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1681 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1683 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1684 sequence information.
1686 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1687 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1689 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1692 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1695 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1697 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1698 interpret 034 as octal.
1700 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1702 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1703 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1705 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1706 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1708 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1709 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1711 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1712 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1714 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1715 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1717 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1718 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1719 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1721 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1722 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1723 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1725 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1727 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1729 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1730 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1733 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1735 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1736 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1738 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1739 header field information.
1741 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1742 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1744 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1745 values when parsing a content.
1747 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1748 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1750 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1751 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1753 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1754 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1756 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1757 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1759 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1761 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1763 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1765 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1767 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1768 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1771 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1772 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1774 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1775 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1776 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1777 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1778 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1779 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1782 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1784 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1785 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1786 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1788 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1789 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1791 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1793 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1794 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1795 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1796 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1798 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1799 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1802 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1803 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1804 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1805 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1808 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1810 * Released nmh-0.27.
1812 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1813 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1815 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1816 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1817 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1818 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1821 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1822 mhbuild returns an error.
1824 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1825 rename the draft file.
1827 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1828 use a global variable.
1830 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1831 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1833 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1834 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1836 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1837 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1838 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1840 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1841 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1843 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1844 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1847 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1848 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1851 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1852 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1854 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1855 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1856 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1858 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1859 to new function output_content_folder.
1861 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1862 new function output_content_file.
1864 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1865 to new function parse_format_string.
1867 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1868 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1869 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1870 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1872 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1873 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1874 message/external file from ftp.
1876 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1877 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1878 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1880 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1881 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1884 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1887 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1888 new file mhstoresbr.c
1890 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1893 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1894 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1896 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1897 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1899 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1900 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1901 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1903 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1905 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1907 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1908 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1911 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1912 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1914 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1917 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1919 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1921 * Released nmh-0.26.
1923 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1924 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1925 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1926 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1928 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1929 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1930 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1931 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1932 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1934 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1935 But it is not on by default.
1937 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1938 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1940 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1942 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1944 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1946 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1948 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1949 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1951 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.25.
1955 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1956 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1957 uses the original name of the library.
1959 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1960 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1963 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1964 list_content and list_debug.
1966 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1968 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1969 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1971 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1973 * Released nmh-0.24.
1975 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1977 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1978 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1980 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1981 large sequence line.
1983 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1985 * Released nmh-0.23.
1987 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1989 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1990 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1991 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1992 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1994 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1995 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1998 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2000 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2002 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2004 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2005 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2007 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2008 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2010 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2011 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2013 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2014 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2016 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2018 * Released nmh-0.22.
2020 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2021 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2023 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2025 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2026 mh-profile(5) man page.
2028 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2029 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2031 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2033 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2035 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2036 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2038 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2040 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2041 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2042 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2044 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2045 source message on the standard input.
2047 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2049 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2050 rather than -rfc934mode.
2052 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2053 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2056 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2057 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2059 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2062 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2064 * Released nmh-0.21.
2066 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2067 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2069 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2072 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2073 to use for text contents.
2075 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2077 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2079 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2081 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2083 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2084 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2086 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2087 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2088 spaces between encoded word are.
2090 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2092 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2093 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2095 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2096 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2097 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2099 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2101 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2102 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2104 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2106 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2108 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2109 ISO-8859-X character set.
2111 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2114 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2115 permissions, not write permissions.
2117 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2118 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2120 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2123 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2125 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2127 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2128 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2130 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2131 message contains valid character set.
2133 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2134 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2136 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2137 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2139 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2140 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2141 between an encoded word and normal text.
2143 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2144 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2146 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2147 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2149 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2152 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2153 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2156 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2157 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2159 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2160 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2162 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2164 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2166 * Released nmh-0.20.
2168 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2170 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2172 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2173 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2174 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2176 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2177 and the To: line was missing.
2179 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2181 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2183 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2185 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2186 watch the POP transaction.
2188 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2189 first, and use it if available.
2191 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2192 first, and use it if available.
2194 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2196 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2198 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2199 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2200 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2203 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2204 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2205 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2207 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2208 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2211 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2213 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2214 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2216 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2218 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2219 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2221 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2222 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2223 message to which you are replying.
2225 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2226 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2227 making group replies.
2229 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2231 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2233 * Released nmh-0.19.
2235 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2236 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2238 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2239 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2240 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2241 to the end of the man page.
2243 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2244 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2245 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2246 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2247 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2248 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2250 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2253 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2254 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2255 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2257 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2258 the next available number above the message number you wish
2261 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2262 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2264 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2265 file sbr/seq_print.c
2267 * flist will now update the current folder.
2269 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2270 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2271 but now undocumented.
2273 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2276 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2277 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2279 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2281 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2282 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2284 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2286 * Released nmh-0.18.
2288 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2289 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2290 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2292 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2293 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2295 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2296 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2297 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2298 previous public/private status.
2300 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2303 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2306 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2307 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2308 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2310 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2311 take option to determine whether it should get current
2312 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2313 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2315 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2317 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2318 wait for stopped processes.
2320 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2321 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2323 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2325 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2327 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2328 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2330 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2331 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2333 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2334 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2335 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2336 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2338 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2341 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2344 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2346 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2347 the debugging output.
2349 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2350 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2352 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2354 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2356 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2357 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2359 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2361 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2362 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2363 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2364 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2365 in the given sequence.
2367 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2368 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2369 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2370 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2371 subdirectories of a given directory.
2373 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2374 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2375 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2377 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2378 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2380 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2382 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2385 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2386 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2387 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2389 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2390 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2391 are calculated at runtime.
2393 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2395 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2397 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2398 about checking for global mh.profile.
2400 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2401 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2402 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2403 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2404 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2405 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2407 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2408 adding message to folder itself.
2410 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2411 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2412 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2415 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2416 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2419 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2420 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2421 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2423 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2424 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2426 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2427 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2428 code to use it yet).
2430 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2432 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2434 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2435 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2437 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2438 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2440 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2442 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2445 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2447 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2449 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2451 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2453 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2454 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2456 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2458 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2460 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2462 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2464 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2466 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2467 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2469 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2470 configuration files.
2472 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2474 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2476 * Released nmh-0.17.
2478 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2480 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2481 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2483 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2486 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2487 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2489 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2490 number of refiled message.
2492 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2494 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2495 for return value of wait().
2497 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2499 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2501 * Released nmh-0.16.
2503 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2507 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2508 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2509 deal with binary messages, yet).
2511 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2513 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2515 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2516 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2517 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2518 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2519 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2520 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2522 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2523 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2525 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2526 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2528 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2529 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2532 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2534 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2536 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2537 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2540 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2543 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2545 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2546 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2547 which used unsigned chars by default.
2549 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2551 * Released nmh-0.15.
2553 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2556 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2558 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2560 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2563 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2564 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2565 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2567 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2568 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2570 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2572 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2573 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2575 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2576 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2577 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2578 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2580 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2581 and put in own subroutine.
2583 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2584 and put in own subroutine.
2586 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2587 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2588 refile.c to use new routine.
2590 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2592 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2594 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2597 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2598 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2599 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2601 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2604 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2605 adding message to sequence.
2607 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2608 corresponding file in sbr.
2610 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2613 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2615 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2616 all selected messages from a sequence.
2618 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2619 selected messages to a sequence.
2621 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2624 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2627 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2629 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2632 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2634 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2637 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2641 * Released nmh-0.14.
2643 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2644 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2646 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2649 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2650 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2651 environment variable.
2653 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2654 draft folder facility in nmh.
2656 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2659 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed
2660 fmtcompile.c to fmt_compile.c, and formataddr.c to
2663 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2666 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2668 * Released nmh-0.13.
2670 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2671 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2672 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2673 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2676 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2677 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2679 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2681 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2682 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2684 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2686 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2687 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2689 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * Released nmh-0.12.
2693 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2699 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2700 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2702 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2703 mp->attrstats with macros.
2705 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2708 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2711 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2712 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2714 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2715 will suppress the display of the message header.
2717 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2719 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2720 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2722 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2724 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2726 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2728 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2729 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2731 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2732 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2734 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2736 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2738 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2739 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2741 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2742 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2744 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Released nmh-0.10.

2753 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2755 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2756 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2758 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2759 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2761 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2762 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2764 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2766 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2767 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2769 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2774 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2776 * Released nmh-0.09.
2778 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2780 * Add configure check for killpg.
2782 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and

2787 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2789 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2792 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2794 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2796 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2797 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2799 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2801 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2802 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2804 * Released nmh-0.08.
2806 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2807 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2808 locking database itself.
2810 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2814 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2815 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2818 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2819 rather than mmdf format.
2821 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2822 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2823 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2824 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2826 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2828 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2830 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2833 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2834 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2835 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2837 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2838 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2839 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2841 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2843 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2844 can still easily change this in config.h).
2846 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2847 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2848 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2850 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2852 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2853 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2855 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.

2866 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2867 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2869 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2870 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2873 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2874 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2876 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2877 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2879 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2881 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2883 * Added configure check for tzset.
2885 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2887 * Released nmh-0.06.
2889 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2890 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2892 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2893 many such machines around anymore.
2895 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2896 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2898 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2899 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2901 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2904 pre-generated version if necessary.
2906 * Released nmh-0.05.
2908 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2909 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2910 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2911 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2913 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2914 be linked in one pass.
2916 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2918 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2919 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2921 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2923 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2925 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2927 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2928 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2929 become the current folder.
2931 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2933 * Released nmh-0.04.
2935 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2938 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2941 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2942 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2944 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2946 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2947 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2949 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2951 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2952 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2955 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2956 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2958 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2960 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2961 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2962 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2963 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2964 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2965 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2967 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2969 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2970 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2972 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2973 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2975 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2978 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2980 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2982 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2983 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2984 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2986 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2988 * Released nmh-0.03.
2990 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2991 .mh_sequence file existed.
2993 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2994 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2996 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2997 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3000 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3002 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3005 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3007 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3008 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3009 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3011 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3014 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3015 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3017 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3020 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3022 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3024 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3027 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3028 directory from where the source code is located.
3030 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3032 * Released nmh-0.02.
3034 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3036 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3039 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3041 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3042 and sys_nerr directly.
3044 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3046 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3048 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3050 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3052 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3053 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3054 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3055 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3056 rather than in script.
3058 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3060 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3062 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3063 macro defined on Solaris.
3065 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3067 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3068 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3070 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3071 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3072 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3073 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3076 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3078 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3079 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3081 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3084 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3086 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3088 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3089 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3091 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3093 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3094 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3096 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3099 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3100 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3101 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3102 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3103 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3105 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3107 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3109 * Released nmh-0.01.
3111 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3112 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3113 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3116 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3118 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3121 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3123 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3124 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3126 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3128 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3129 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3130 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3131 script to find_program.
3133 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3136 speed up -recurse option.
3138 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3139 yet, but it compiles :-)
3141 * Changed default location for install to
3142 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3143 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3144 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3147 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3148 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3149 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
