3 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
6 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
8 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
11 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
13 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
14 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
15 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
16 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
18 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
20 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
21 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
22 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
23 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
24 where configure's autodetection fails.
26 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
28 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
29 configure script change.
31 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
33 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
34 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
35 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
38 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
40 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
41 the context is only read once.
43 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
45 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
46 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
48 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
50 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
51 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
53 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
54 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
57 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
58 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
61 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
63 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
64 vi isn't found during build.
66 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
68 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
69 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
71 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
72 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
73 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
75 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
77 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
78 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
80 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
81 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
82 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
83 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
86 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
87 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
88 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
90 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
91 entry in the context file.
93 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
95 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
96 problems on some systems
98 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
99 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
101 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
103 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
104 sendmail isn't found during build.
106 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
108 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
110 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
112 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
113 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
115 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
116 references to the web page and mailing list locations
118 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
119 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
121 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
124 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
126 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
127 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
128 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
130 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
131 was configured with --enable-apop.
133 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
134 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
135 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
137 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
138 new versions of flex.
140 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
141 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
142 doesn't guess wrongly.
144 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
146 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
147 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
149 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
150 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
152 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
153 files with numbers as names
155 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
157 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
159 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
161 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
163 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
164 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
166 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
168 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
171 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
172 test/report error writing to stdout
174 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
176 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
178 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
179 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
180 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
182 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
183 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
184 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
186 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
188 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
189 character set used by the current locale
191 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
192 message's filename overflows an int when converted
194 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
195 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
197 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
199 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
202 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
204 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
205 from Michael Richardson.
207 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
208 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
210 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
212 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
213 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
215 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
217 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
218 find sub-parts of the specified part
220 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
222 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
223 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
224 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
225 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
226 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
227 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
228 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
231 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
233 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
234 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
235 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
238 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
239 refiling with -src option.
241 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
243 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
245 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
247 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
248 mailpath being overwritten.
250 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
252 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
253 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
254 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
255 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
256 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
257 reinitializes the tmp file string.
259 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
260 if a format string was read from the profile.
262 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
263 path for the external hook.
265 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
267 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
268 another location for ndbm.
270 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
272 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
274 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
276 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
279 136976 - Handle binary content messages
280 143427 - mh-format.man typo
281 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
282 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
283 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
284 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
285 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
286 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
287 181867 - typo for nmh.man
289 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
291 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
292 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
293 contitional code which will result in cached data to
294 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
295 and parse on the first use.
296 * Remove some unused flag bits.
298 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
300 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
301 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
303 #578 - repl leaks umask
304 #1393 - sortm core dumps
305 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
306 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
307 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
309 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
310 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
312 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
314 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
315 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
317 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
319 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
320 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
321 to docs/README.about.
323 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
325 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
327 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
328 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
329 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
330 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
333 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
335 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
336 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
337 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
338 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
339 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
340 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
343 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
344 summary configure prints out.
346 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
347 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
348 subjectively more readable) format.
350 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
352 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
355 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
357 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
358 19xx when it's not necessary.
360 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
362 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
363 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
366 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
367 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
368 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
369 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
370 the man pages correctly.
372 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
374 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
376 * Finished manpages ali-prev
378 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
379 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
380 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
383 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
384 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
385 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
386 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
388 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
390 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
391 the formatting rules I've been using.
395 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
397 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
398 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
399 used in the manpages.
401 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
402 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
403 read in the contents of the file as the variable
406 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
407 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
408 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
409 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
410 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
411 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
412 bold flags and italicized parameters.
414 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
416 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
417 --with-locking option.
419 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
420 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
421 information was not being communicated to the
422 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
423 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
424 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
425 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
426 undefined symbols problems.
428 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
429 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
430 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
431 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
432 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
433 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
434 for a genuine krb4 installation.
436 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
438 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
439 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
441 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
443 * Made a new ./configure option called
444 "--with-locking" that allows the file
445 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
446 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
448 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
449 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
450 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
451 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
452 the user that these are the valid options, and
453 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
456 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
458 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
459 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
460 committed to supporting flex only, since
461 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
462 string, as well as other problems documented
463 below and on nmh-workers.
465 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
466 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
467 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
470 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
471 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
473 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
475 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
476 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
477 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
479 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
481 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
482 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
484 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
486 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
487 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
488 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
489 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
490 couldn't correctly identify them.
492 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
494 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
495 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
496 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
497 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
498 not depending on an external archive.
500 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
501 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
502 mts/generic is no longer built.
504 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
506 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
507 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
508 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
509 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
510 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
511 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
512 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
513 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
515 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
517 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
518 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
521 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
523 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
524 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
525 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
528 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
529 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
530 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
531 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
533 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
534 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
535 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
536 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
537 merged into the smtp code).
539 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
540 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
541 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
544 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
545 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
546 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
547 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
548 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
549 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
550 in the appropriate Makefile.in
552 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
554 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
555 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
556 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
557 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
558 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
559 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
560 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
561 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
562 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
563 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
564 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
566 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
568 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
569 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
570 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
571 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
572 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
573 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
574 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
575 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
576 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
578 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
580 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
581 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
584 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
586 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
587 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
589 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
591 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
592 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
593 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
594 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
596 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
598 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
599 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
600 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
601 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
602 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
604 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
605 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
607 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
609 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
611 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
612 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
613 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
614 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
616 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
617 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
618 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
619 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
621 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
622 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
623 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
624 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
626 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
627 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
628 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
630 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
632 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
633 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
634 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
635 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
636 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
637 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
640 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
641 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
643 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
644 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
646 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
648 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
650 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
652 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
653 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
654 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
655 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
657 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
659 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
660 be easily changed from "," to "#".
662 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
664 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
666 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
667 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
670 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
672 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
673 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
674 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
675 but not for the subsequent data stream.
677 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
679 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
680 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
681 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
682 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
683 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
685 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
687 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
688 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
690 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
691 cat, also define lorder as echo.
693 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
695 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
697 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
698 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
699 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
701 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
703 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
706 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
707 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
709 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
711 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
712 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
714 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
716 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
717 inc does not need to be setgid.
719 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
721 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
722 library, as found on Debian systems.
724 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
726 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
728 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
729 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
730 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
731 case-insensitivity flag.
733 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
735 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
736 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
738 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
740 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
741 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
742 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
743 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
744 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
745 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
746 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
747 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
748 getting moved aside).
750 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
751 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
753 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
755 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
756 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
757 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
758 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
759 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
760 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
761 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
762 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
763 the prototype, but never sets it.
765 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
766 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
767 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
768 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
769 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
770 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
772 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
773 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
774 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
775 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
776 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
778 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
780 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
781 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
784 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
785 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
786 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
787 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
788 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
789 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
790 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
792 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
794 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
796 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
797 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
798 this works on other systems.
800 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
802 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
803 checks for write failures.
805 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
807 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
809 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
812 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
814 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
816 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
818 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
819 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
822 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
824 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
825 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
826 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
827 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
829 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
831 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
832 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
835 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
836 as well as Makefiles.
838 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
840 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
841 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
842 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
843 should make maintainability easier.
845 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
846 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
847 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
848 whatever you know works.
850 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
852 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
853 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
854 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
856 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
857 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
858 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
859 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
861 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
862 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
863 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
865 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
866 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
867 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
868 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
869 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
871 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
872 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
873 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
874 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
875 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
876 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
877 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
878 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
879 from the BSD version.
881 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
882 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
883 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
885 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
888 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
891 This happens on solaris:
894 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
895 No manual entry for mts.conf.
899 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
901 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
902 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
904 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
906 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
907 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
908 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
909 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
910 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
911 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
912 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
913 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
914 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
915 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
916 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
918 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
919 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
920 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
921 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
922 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
923 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
926 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
927 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
928 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
929 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
930 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
932 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
933 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
935 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
937 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
938 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
939 to stdin, such as exmh.
941 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
942 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
943 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
946 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
949 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
950 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
951 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
952 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
953 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
954 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
956 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
958 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
959 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
961 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
963 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
964 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
966 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
968 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
971 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
972 along with any -host or -user option.
974 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
976 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
978 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
979 process was fresh in my mind.
981 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
984 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
986 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
988 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
990 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
993 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
994 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
995 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
996 part of the program's name.
998 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
999 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1002 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1004 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1005 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1006 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1007 single-character format would cause programs using this
1008 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1009 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1010 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1011 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1014 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1016 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1017 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1018 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1019 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1020 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1021 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1023 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1024 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1025 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1026 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1027 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1028 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1029 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1030 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1032 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1033 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1034 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1035 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1036 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1037 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1038 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1039 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1040 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1041 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1043 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1045 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1046 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1048 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1049 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1051 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1056 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1058 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1059 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1060 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1061 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1063 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1064 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1065 problem in the routine.
1067 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1069 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1070 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1072 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1073 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1074 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1077 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1079 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1080 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1081 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1082 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1083 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1084 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1085 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1086 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1087 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1088 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1090 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1092 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1093 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1094 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1095 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1096 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1097 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1098 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1099 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1100 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1101 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1102 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1103 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1105 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1106 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1107 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1108 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1109 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1111 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1114 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1116 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1117 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1118 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1119 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1122 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1124 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1126 * Applied, after some finessing,
1127 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1129 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1131 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1133 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1134 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1135 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1136 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1138 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1140 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1141 forgetting to do so!).
1143 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1144 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1145 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1146 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1147 arguments to enable all three types.
1149 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1150 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1152 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1153 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1154 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1155 updated copy of mts.conf.
1157 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1159 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1160 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1161 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1163 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1165 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1167 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1168 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1169 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1171 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1172 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1173 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1175 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1176 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1177 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1179 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1181 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1183 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1185 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1187 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1188 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1190 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1191 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1192 certain suffix to run properly.
1194 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1195 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1196 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1198 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1199 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1200 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1201 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1202 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1203 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1204 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1206 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1208 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1209 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1210 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1211 until some year far in the future).
1213 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1215 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1217 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1218 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1220 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1221 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1224 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1226 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1227 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1228 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1229 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1230 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1231 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1233 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1235 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1237 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1238 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1239 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1241 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1242 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1243 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1244 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1245 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1246 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1249 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1250 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1251 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1252 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1253 of masquerading individually.
1255 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1256 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1257 GECOS field delimiters.
1259 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1261 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1262 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1263 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1264 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1265 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1266 and explaining the feature.
1268 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1270 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1271 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1274 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1275 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1276 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1278 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1279 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1280 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1281 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1283 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1284 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1285 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1288 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1290 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1291 code to be executed.
1293 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1295 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1297 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1298 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1299 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1300 quotes embedded in them.
1302 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1304 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1305 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1306 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1307 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1308 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1309 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1310 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1313 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1314 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1315 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1316 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1317 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1319 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1323 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1324 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1325 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1326 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1328 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1331 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1333 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1335 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1337 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1338 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1339 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1341 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1344 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1346 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1347 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1348 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1349 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1350 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1351 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1353 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1354 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1356 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1358 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1361 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1363 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1364 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1365 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1368 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1369 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1370 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1371 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1372 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1373 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1374 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1375 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1376 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1377 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1378 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1379 processing that post has).
1381 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1383 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1384 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1385 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1386 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1387 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1388 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1391 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1393 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1395 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1397 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1399 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1400 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1402 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1405 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1407 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1408 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1409 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1412 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1414 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1415 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1416 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1417 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1418 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1419 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1421 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1423 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1425 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1427 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1428 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1429 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1430 caught again. This works for now.
1432 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1434 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1436 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1437 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1439 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1441 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1442 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1444 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1446 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1448 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1450 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1451 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1453 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1455 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1456 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1457 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1458 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1459 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1462 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1464 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1465 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1466 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1468 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1469 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1472 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1474 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1475 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1476 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1478 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1480 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1481 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1483 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1485 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1488 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1489 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1491 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1492 macros, regardless of platform.
1494 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1495 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1497 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1498 with x-conversions=gzip.
1500 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1502 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1505 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1506 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1507 implicit definition of ioctl().
1509 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1510 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1511 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1512 want to mess with them.
1514 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1516 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1517 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1519 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1520 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1522 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1523 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1524 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1526 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1527 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1528 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1530 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1531 function initgroups.
1533 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1536 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1537 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1540 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1541 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1544 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1545 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1549 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1551 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1552 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1553 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1555 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1556 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1558 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1560 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1562 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1563 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1564 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1565 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1567 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1568 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1570 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1572 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1574 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1577 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1579 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1581 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1582 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1584 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1585 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1586 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1587 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1589 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1590 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1592 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1594 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1595 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1597 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1599 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1600 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1603 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1605 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1607 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1609 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1610 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1612 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1613 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1614 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1616 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1617 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1618 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1620 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1621 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1622 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1624 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1625 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1628 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1629 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1631 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1632 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1634 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1635 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1637 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1638 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1639 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1641 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1642 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1644 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1645 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1646 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1648 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1649 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1652 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1653 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1655 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1656 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1657 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1658 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1660 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1661 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1663 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1667 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1668 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1669 would not be changed.
1671 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1672 one from the Apache web server.
1674 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1675 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1677 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1678 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1679 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1681 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1683 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1685 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1686 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1689 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1690 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1691 removes a bad race condition.
1693 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1696 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1697 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1698 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1700 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1701 sequence information.
1703 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1704 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1706 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1709 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1712 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1714 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1715 interpret 034 as octal.
1717 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1719 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1720 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1722 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1723 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1725 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1726 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1728 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1729 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1731 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1732 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1734 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1735 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1736 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1738 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1739 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1740 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1742 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1744 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1746 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1747 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1750 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1752 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1753 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1755 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1756 header field information.
1758 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1759 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1761 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1762 values when parsing a content.
1764 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1765 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1767 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1768 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1770 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1771 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1773 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1774 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1776 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1778 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1780 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1782 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1784 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1785 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1788 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1789 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1791 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1792 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1793 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1794 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1795 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1796 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1799 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1801 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1802 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1803 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1805 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1806 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1808 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1810 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1811 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1812 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1813 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1815 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1816 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1819 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1820 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1821 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1822 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1825 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1827 * Released nmh-0.27.
1829 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1830 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1832 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1833 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1834 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1835 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1838 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1839 mhbuild returns an error.
1841 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1842 rename the draft file.
1844 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1845 use a global variable.
1847 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1848 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1850 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1851 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1853 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1854 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1855 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1857 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1858 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1860 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1861 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1864 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1865 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1868 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1869 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1871 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1872 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1873 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1875 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1876 to new function output_content_folder.
1878 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1879 new function output_content_file.
1881 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1882 to new function parse_format_string.
1884 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1885 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1886 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1887 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1889 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1890 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1891 message/external file from ftp.
1893 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1894 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1895 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1897 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1898 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1901 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1904 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1905 new file mhstoresbr.c
1907 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1910 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1911 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1913 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1914 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1916 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1917 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1918 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1920 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1922 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1924 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1925 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1928 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1929 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1931 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1934 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1936 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1938 * Released nmh-0.26.
1940 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1941 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1942 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1943 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1945 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1946 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1947 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1948 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1949 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1951 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1952 But it is not on by default.
1954 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1955 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1957 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1959 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1961 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1963 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1965 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1966 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1968 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1970 * Released nmh-0.25.
1972 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1973 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1974 uses the original name of the library.
1976 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1977 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1980 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1981 list_content and list_debug.
1983 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1985 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1986 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1988 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1990 * Released nmh-0.24.
1992 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1994 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1995 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1997 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1998 large sequence line.
2000 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2002 * Released nmh-0.23.
2004 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2006 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2007 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2008 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2009 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2011 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2012 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2015 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2017 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2019 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2021 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2022 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2024 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2025 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2027 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2028 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2030 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2031 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2033 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2035 * Released nmh-0.22.
2037 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2038 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2040 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2042 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2043 mh-profile(5) man page.
2045 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2046 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2048 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2052 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2053 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2055 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2057 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2058 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2059 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2061 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2062 source message on the standard input.
2064 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2066 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2067 rather than -rfc934mode.
2069 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2070 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2073 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2074 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2076 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2079 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2081 * Released nmh-0.21.
2083 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2084 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2086 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2089 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2090 to use for text contents.
2092 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2094 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2096 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2098 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2100 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2101 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2103 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2104 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2105 spaces between encoded word are.
2107 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2109 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2110 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2112 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2113 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2114 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2116 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2118 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2119 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2121 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2123 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2125 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2126 ISO-8859-X character set.
2128 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2131 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2132 permissions, not write permissions.
2134 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2135 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2137 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2140 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2142 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2144 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2145 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2147 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2148 message contains valid character set.
2150 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2151 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2153 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2154 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2156 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2157 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2158 between an encoded word and normal text.
2160 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2161 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2163 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2164 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2166 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2169 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2170 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2173 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2174 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2176 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2177 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2179 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2181 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2183 * Released nmh-0.20.
2185 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2187 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2189 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2190 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2191 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2193 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2194 and the To: line was missing.
2196 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2198 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2200 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2202 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2203 watch the POP transaction.
2205 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2206 first, and use it if available.
2208 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2209 first, and use it if available.
2211 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2213 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2215 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2216 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2217 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2220 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2221 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2222 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2224 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2225 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2228 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2230 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2231 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2233 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2235 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2236 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2238 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2239 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2240 message to which you are replying.
2242 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2243 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2244 making group replies.
2246 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2248 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2250 * Released nmh-0.19.
2252 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2253 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2255 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2256 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2257 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2258 to the end of the man page.
2260 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2261 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2262 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2263 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2264 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2265 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2267 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2270 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2271 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2272 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2274 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2275 the next available number above the message number you wish
2278 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2279 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2281 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2282 file sbr/seq_print.c
2284 * flist will now update the current folder.
2286 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2287 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2288 but now undocumented.
2290 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2293 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2294 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2296 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2298 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2299 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2301 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2303 * Released nmh-0.18.
2305 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2306 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2307 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2309 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2310 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2312 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2313 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2314 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2315 previous public/private status.
2317 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2320 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2323 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2324 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2325 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2327 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2328 take option to determine whether it should get current
2329 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2330 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2332 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2334 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2335 wait for stopped processes.
2337 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2338 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2340 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2342 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2344 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2345 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2347 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2348 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2350 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2351 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2352 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2353 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2355 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2358 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2361 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2363 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2364 the debugging output.
2366 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2367 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2369 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2371 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2373 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2374 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2376 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2378 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2379 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2380 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2381 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2382 in the given sequence.
2384 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2385 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2386 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2387 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2388 subdirectories of a given directory.
2390 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2391 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2392 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2394 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2395 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2397 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2399 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2402 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2403 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2404 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2406 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2407 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2408 are calculated at runtime.
2410 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2412 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2414 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2415 about checking for global mh.profile.
2417 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2418 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2419 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2420 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2421 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2422 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2424 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2425 adding message to folder itself.
2427 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2428 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2429 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2432 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2433 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2436 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2437 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2438 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2440 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2441 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2443 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2444 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2445 code to use it yet).
2447 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2449 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2451 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2452 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2454 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2455 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2457 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2459 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2462 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2464 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2466 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2468 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2470 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2471 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2473 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2475 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2477 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2479 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2481 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2483 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2484 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2486 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2487 configuration files.
2489 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2491 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2493 * Released nmh-0.17.
2495 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2497 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2498 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2500 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2503 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2504 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2506 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2507 number of refiled message.
2509 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2511 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2512 for return value of wait().
2514 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2516 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * Released nmh-0.16.
2520 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2522 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2524 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2525 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2526 deal with binary messages, yet).
2528 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2530 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2532 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2533 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2534 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2535 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2536 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2537 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2539 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2540 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2542 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2543 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2545 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2546 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2549 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2551 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2553 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2554 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2557 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2560 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2562 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2563 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2564 which used unsigned chars by default.
2566 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2568 * Released nmh-0.15.
2570 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2573 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2575 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2577 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2580 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2581 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2582 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2584 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2585 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2587 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2589 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2590 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2592 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2593 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2594 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2595 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2597 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2598 and put in own subroutine.
2600 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2601 and put in own subroutine.
2603 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2604 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2605 refile.c to use new routine.
2607 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2609 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2611 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2614 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2615 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2616 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2618 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2621 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2622 adding message to sequence.
2624 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2625 corresponding file in sbr.
2627 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2630 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2632 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2633 all selected messages from a sequence.
2635 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2636 selected messages to a sequence.
2638 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2641 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2643 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2644 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2646 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2648 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2649 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2651 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2653 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from
2654 MH-6.8.4 distribution.

2661 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2663 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2665 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2666 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2667 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2668 environment variable.
2670 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2671 draft folder facility in nmh.
2673 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2676 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2680 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2683 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2685 * Released nmh-0.13.
2687 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2688 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2689 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2690 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2693 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2694 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2696 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2699 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2701 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2703 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2704 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2706 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2708 * Released nmh-0.12.
2710 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2716 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2717 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2719 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2720 mp->attrstats with macros.
2722 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2725 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2728 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2729 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2731 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2732 will suppress the display of the message header.
2734 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2736 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2737 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2739 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2741 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2743 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2745 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2746 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2748 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2749 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2751 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2753 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2755 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2756 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2758 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2759 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2761 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2763 * Released nmh-0.10.

2770 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2772 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2773 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2775 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2776 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2778 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2779 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2781 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2784 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2786 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2788 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2791 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2793 * Released nmh-0.09.
2795 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2797 * Add configure check for killpg.
2799 * msh.c: include <termios.h> instead of <termio.h> and

2804 Thu Mar 6 04:03:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2806 * Added `-mime' and `-nomime' options to `repl'.
2809 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2811 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2813 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2814 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2816 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2818 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2819 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2821 * Released nmh-0.08.
2823 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2824 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2825 locking database itself.
2827 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2829 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2831 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2832 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2835 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2836 rather than mmdf format.
2838 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2839 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2840 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2841 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2843 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2845 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2847 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2850 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2851 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2852 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2854 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2855 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2856 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2858 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2860 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2861 can still easily change this in config.h).
2863 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2864 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2865 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2867 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2869 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2870 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2872 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2874 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2876 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2879 * Released nmh-0.07.
2881 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2883 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2884 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2886 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2887 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2890 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2891 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2893 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2894 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2896 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2898 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2900 * Added configure check for tzset.
2902 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2904 * Released nmh-0.06.
2906 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2907 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2909 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2910 many such machines around anymore.
2912 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2913 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2915 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2916 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2918 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2920 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2921 pre-generated version if necessary.
2923 * Released nmh-0.05.
2925 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2926 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2927 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2928 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2930 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2931 be linked in one pass.
2933 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2935 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2936 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2938 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2942 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2944 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2945 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2946 become the current folder.
2948 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2950 * Released nmh-0.04.
2952 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2955 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2958 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2959 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2961 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2963 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2964 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2966 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2968 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2969 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2972 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2973 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2975 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2977 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2978 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2979 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2980 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2981 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2982 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2984 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2986 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2987 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2989 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2990 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2992 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2994 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2995 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2997 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2999 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3000 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3001 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3003 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3005 * Released nmh-0.03.
3007 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3008 .mh_sequence file existed.
3010 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3011 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3013 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3014 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3017 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3022 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3024 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3025 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3026 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3028 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3030 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3031 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3032 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3034 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3036 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3037 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3039 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3041 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3043 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3044 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3045 directory from where the source code is located.
3047 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3049 * Released nmh-0.02.
3051 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3053 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3056 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3059 and sys_nerr directly.
3061 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3065 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3067 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3069 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3070 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3071 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3072 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3073 rather than in script.
3075 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3077 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3079 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3080 macro defined on Solaris.
3082 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3084 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3085 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3087 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3088 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3089 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3090 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3093 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3095 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3096 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3098 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3101 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3105 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3106 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3108 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3110 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3111 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3113 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3116 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3117 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3118 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3119 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3120 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3122 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3124 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3126 * Released nmh-0.01.
3128 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3129 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3130 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3133 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3135 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3138 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3140 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3141 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3143 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3145 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3146 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3147 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3148 script to find_program.
3150 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3152 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3153 speed up -recurse option.
3155 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3156 yet, but it compiles :-)
3158 * Changed default location for install to
3159 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3160 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3161 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3164 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3165 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3166 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
