3 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
4 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
5 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
6 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
7 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
9 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
11 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
13 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
14 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
15 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
16 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
18 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
19 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
20 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
21 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
23 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
24 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
25 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
26 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
28 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
29 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
30 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
32 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
34 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
35 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
36 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
37 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
38 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
39 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
42 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
43 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
45 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
46 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
48 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
50 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
52 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
54 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
55 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
56 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
57 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
59 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
61 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
62 be easily changed from "," to "#".
64 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
66 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
68 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
69 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
72 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
74 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
75 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
76 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
77 but not for the subsequent data stream.
79 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
81 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
82 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
83 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
84 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
85 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
87 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
89 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
90 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
92 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
93 cat, also define lorder as echo.
95 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
97 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
99 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
100 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
101 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
103 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
105 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
108 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
109 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
111 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
113 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
114 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
116 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
118 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
119 inc does not need to be setgid.
121 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
123 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
124 library, as found on Debian systems.
126 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
128 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
130 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
131 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
132 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
133 case-insensitivity flag.
135 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
137 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
138 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
140 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
142 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
143 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
144 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
145 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
146 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
147 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
148 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
149 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
150 getting moved aside).
152 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
153 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
155 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
157 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
158 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
159 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
160 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
161 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
162 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
163 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
164 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
165 the prototype, but never sets it.
167 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
168 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
169 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
170 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
171 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
172 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
174 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
175 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
176 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
177 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
178 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
180 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
182 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
183 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
186 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
187 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
188 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
189 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
190 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
191 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
192 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
194 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
196 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
198 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
199 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
200 this works on other systems.
202 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
204 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
205 checks for write failures.
207 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
209 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
211 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
214 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
216 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
218 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
220 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
221 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
224 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
226 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
227 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
228 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
229 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
231 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
233 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
234 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
237 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
238 as well as Makefiles.
240 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
242 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
243 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
244 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
245 should make maintainability easier.
247 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
248 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
249 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
250 whatever you know works.
252 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
255 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
256 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
258 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
259 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
260 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
261 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
263 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
264 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
265 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
267 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
268 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
269 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
270 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
271 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
273 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
274 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
275 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
276 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
277 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
278 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
279 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
280 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
281 from the BSD version.
283 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
284 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
285 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
287 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
290 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
293 This happens on solaris:
296 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
297 No manual entry for mts.conf.
301 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
303 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
304 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
306 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
308 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
309 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
310 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
311 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
312 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
313 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
314 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
315 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
316 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
317 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
318 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
320 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
321 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
322 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
323 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
324 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
325 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
328 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
329 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
330 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
331 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
332 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
334 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
335 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
337 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
339 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
340 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
341 to stdin, such as exmh.
343 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
344 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
345 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
348 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
350 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
351 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
352 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
353 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
354 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
355 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
356 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
358 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
360 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
361 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
363 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
365 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
366 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
368 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
370 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
373 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
374 along with any -host or -user option.
376 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
378 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
380 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
381 process was fresh in my mind.
383 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
385 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
386 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
388 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
390 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
392 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
395 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
396 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
397 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
398 part of the program's name.
400 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
401 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
404 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
406 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
407 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
408 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
409 single-character format would cause programs using this
410 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
411 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
412 when the format string was one character. This eventually
413 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
416 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
418 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
419 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
420 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
421 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
422 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
423 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
425 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
426 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
427 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
428 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
429 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
430 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
431 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
432 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
434 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
435 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
436 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
437 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
438 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
439 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
440 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
441 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
442 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
443 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
445 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
447 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
448 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
450 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
451 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
453 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
458 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
460 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
461 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
462 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
463 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
465 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
466 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
467 problem in the routine.
469 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
471 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
472 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
474 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
475 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
476 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
479 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
481 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
482 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
483 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
484 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
485 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
486 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
487 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
488 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
489 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
490 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
492 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
494 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
495 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
496 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
497 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
498 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
499 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
500 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
501 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
502 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
503 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
504 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
505 interesting than a duplication of the default.
507 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
508 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
509 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
510 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
511 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
513 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
516 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
518 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
519 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
520 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
521 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
524 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
526 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
528 * Applied, after some finessing,
529 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
531 Here's a patch that allows you to add
533 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
535 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
536 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
537 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
538 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
540 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
542 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
543 forgetting to do so!).
545 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
546 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
547 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
548 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
549 arguments to enable all three types.
551 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
552 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
554 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
555 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
556 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
557 updated copy of mts.conf.
559 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
561 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
562 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
563 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
565 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
567 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
569 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
570 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
571 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
573 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
574 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
575 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
577 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
578 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
579 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
581 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
583 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
585 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
587 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
589 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
590 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
592 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
593 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
594 certain suffix to run properly.
596 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
597 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
598 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
600 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
601 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
602 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
603 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
604 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
605 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
606 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
608 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
610 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
611 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
612 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
613 until some year far in the future).
615 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
617 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
619 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
620 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
622 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
623 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
626 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
628 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
629 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
630 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
631 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
632 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
633 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
635 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
637 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
639 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
640 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
641 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
643 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
644 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
645 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
646 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
647 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
648 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
651 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
652 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
653 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
654 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
655 of masquerading individually.
657 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
658 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
659 GECOS field delimiters.
661 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
663 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
664 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
665 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
666 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
667 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
668 and explaining the feature.
670 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
672 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
673 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
676 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
677 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
678 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
680 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
681 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
682 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
683 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
685 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
686 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
687 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
690 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
692 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
695 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
697 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
699 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
700 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
701 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
702 quotes embedded in them.
704 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
706 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
707 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
708 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
709 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
710 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
711 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
712 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
715 The other theory is that because you can say something like
716 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
717 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
718 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
719 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
721 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
723 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
725 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
726 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
727 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
728 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
730 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
733 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
735 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
737 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
739 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
740 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
741 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
743 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
746 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
748 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
749 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
750 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
751 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
752 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
753 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
755 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
756 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
758 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
760 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
763 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
765 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
766 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
767 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
770 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
771 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
772 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
773 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
774 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
775 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
776 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
777 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
778 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
779 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
780 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
781 processing that post has).
783 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
785 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
786 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
787 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
788 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
789 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
790 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
793 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
795 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
797 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
799 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
801 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
802 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
804 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
807 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
809 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
810 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
811 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
814 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
816 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
817 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
818 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
819 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
820 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
821 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
823 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
825 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
827 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
829 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
830 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
831 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
832 caught again. This works for now.
834 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
836 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
838 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
839 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
841 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
843 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
844 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
846 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
848 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
850 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
852 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
853 changes. Both need more cleanup.
855 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
857 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
858 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
859 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
860 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
861 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
864 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
866 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
867 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
868 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
870 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
871 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
874 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
876 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
877 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
878 to a directory on another device with more free space.
880 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
882 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
883 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
885 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
887 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
890 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
891 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
893 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
894 macros, regardless of platform.
896 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
897 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
899 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
900 with x-conversions=gzip.
902 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
904 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
907 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
908 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
909 implicit definition of ioctl().
911 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
912 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
913 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
914 want to mess with them.
916 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
918 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
919 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
921 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
922 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
924 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
925 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
926 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
928 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
929 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
930 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
932 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
935 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
938 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
939 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
942 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
943 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
946 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
947 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
951 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
953 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
954 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
955 preventing compilation on at least linux.
957 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
958 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
960 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
962 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
964 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
965 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
966 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
967 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
969 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
970 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
972 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
974 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
976 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
978 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
979 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
981 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
984 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
986 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
987 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
988 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
989 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
991 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
992 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
994 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
996 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
997 substitute it for mktemp if available.
999 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1001 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1002 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1005 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1007 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1009 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1011 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1012 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1014 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1015 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1016 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1018 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1019 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1020 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1022 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1023 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1024 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1026 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1027 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1030 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1031 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1033 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1034 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1036 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1037 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1039 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1040 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1041 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1043 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1044 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1046 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1047 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1048 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1050 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1051 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1054 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1055 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1057 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1058 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1059 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1060 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1062 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1063 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1065 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1069 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1070 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1071 would not be changed.
1073 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1074 one from the Apache web server.
1076 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1077 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1079 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1080 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1081 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1083 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1085 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1087 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1088 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1091 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1092 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1093 removes a bad race condition.
1095 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1098 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1099 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1100 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1102 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1103 sequence information.
1105 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1106 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1108 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1111 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1114 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1116 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1117 interpret 034 as octal.
1119 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1121 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1122 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1124 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1125 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1127 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1128 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1130 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1131 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1133 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1134 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1136 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1137 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1138 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1140 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1141 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1142 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1144 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1146 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1148 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1149 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1152 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1154 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1155 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1157 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1158 header field information.
1160 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1161 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1163 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1164 values when parsing a content.
1166 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1167 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1169 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1170 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1172 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1173 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1175 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1176 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1178 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1180 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1182 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1184 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1186 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1187 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1190 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1191 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1193 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1194 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1195 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1196 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1197 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1198 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1201 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1203 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1204 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1205 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1207 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1208 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1210 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1212 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1213 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1214 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1215 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1217 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1218 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1221 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1222 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1223 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1224 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1227 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1229 * Released nmh-0.27.
1231 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1232 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1234 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1235 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1236 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1237 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1240 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1241 mhbuild returns an error.
1243 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1244 rename the draft file.
1246 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1247 use a global variable.
1249 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1250 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1252 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1253 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1255 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1256 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1257 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1259 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1260 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1262 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1263 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1266 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1267 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1270 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1271 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1273 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1274 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1275 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1277 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1278 to new function output_content_folder.
1280 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1281 new function output_content_file.
1283 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1284 to new function parse_format_string.
1286 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1287 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1288 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1289 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1291 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1292 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1293 message/external file from ftp.
1295 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1296 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1297 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1299 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1300 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1303 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1306 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1307 new file mhstoresbr.c
1309 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1312 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1313 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1315 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1316 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1318 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1319 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1320 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1322 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1324 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1326 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1327 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1330 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1331 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1333 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1336 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1338 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1340 * Released nmh-0.26.
1342 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1343 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1344 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1345 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1347 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1348 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1349 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1350 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1351 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1353 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1354 But it is not on by default.
1356 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1357 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1359 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1361 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1363 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1365 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1367 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1368 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1370 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1372 * Released nmh-0.25.
1374 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1375 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1376 uses the original name of the library.
1378 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1379 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1382 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1383 list_content and list_debug.
1385 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1387 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1388 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1390 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1392 * Released nmh-0.24.
1394 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1396 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1397 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1399 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1400 large sequence line.
1402 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1404 * Released nmh-0.23.
1406 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1408 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1409 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1410 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1411 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1413 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1414 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1417 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1419 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1421 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1423 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1424 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1426 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1427 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1429 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1430 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1432 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1433 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1435 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1437 * Released nmh-0.22.
1439 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1440 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1442 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1444 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1445 mh-profile(5) man page.
1447 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1448 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1450 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1452 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1454 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1455 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1457 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1459 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1460 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1461 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1463 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1464 source message on the standard input.
1466 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1468 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1469 rather than -rfc934mode.
1471 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1472 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1475 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1476 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1478 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1481 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1483 * Released nmh-0.21.
1485 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1486 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1488 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1491 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1492 to use for text contents.
1494 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1496 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1498 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1500 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1502 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1503 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1505 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1506 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1507 spaces between encoded word are.
1509 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1511 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1512 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1514 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1515 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1516 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1518 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1520 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1521 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1523 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1525 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1527 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1528 ISO-8859-X character set.
1530 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1533 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1534 permissions, not write permissions.
1536 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1537 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1539 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1542 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1544 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1546 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1547 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1549 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1550 message contains valid character set.
1552 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1553 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1555 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1556 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1558 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1559 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1560 between an encoded word and normal text.
1562 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1563 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1565 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1566 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1568 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1571 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1572 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1575 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1576 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1578 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1579 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1581 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1583 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1585 * Released nmh-0.20.
1587 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1589 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1591 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1592 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1593 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1595 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1596 and the To: line was missing.
1598 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1600 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1602 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1604 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1605 watch the POP transaction.
1607 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1608 first, and use it if available.
1610 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1611 first, and use it if available.
1613 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1615 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1617 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1618 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1619 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1622 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1623 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1624 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1626 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1627 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1630 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1632 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1633 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1635 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1637 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1638 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1640 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1641 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1642 message to which you are replying.
1644 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1645 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1646 making group replies.
1648 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1650 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1652 * Released nmh-0.19.
1654 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1655 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1657 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1658 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1659 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1660 to the end of the man page.
1662 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1663 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1664 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1665 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1666 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1667 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1669 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1672 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1673 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1674 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1676 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1677 the next available number above the message number you wish
1680 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1681 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1683 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1684 file sbr/seq_print.c
1686 * flist will now update the current folder.
1688 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1689 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1690 but now undocumented.
1692 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1695 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1696 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1698 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1700 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1701 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1703 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1705 * Released nmh-0.18.
1707 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1708 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1709 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1711 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1712 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1714 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1715 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1716 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1717 previous public/private status.
1719 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1722 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1725 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1726 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1727 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1729 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1730 take option to determine whether it should get current
1731 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1732 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1734 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1736 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1737 wait for stopped processes.
1739 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1740 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1742 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1744 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1746 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1747 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1749 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1750 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1752 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1753 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1754 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1755 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1757 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1760 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1763 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1765 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1766 the debugging output.
1768 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1769 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1771 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1773 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1775 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1776 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1778 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1780 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1781 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1782 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1783 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1784 in the given sequence.
1786 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1787 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1788 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1789 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1790 subdirectories of a given directory.
1792 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1793 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1794 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1796 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1797 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1799 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1801 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1804 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1805 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1806 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1808 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1809 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1810 are calculated at runtime.
1812 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1820 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1821 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1822 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1823 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1824 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1826 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1827 adding message to folder itself.
1829 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1830 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1831 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1834 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1835 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1838 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1839 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1840 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1842 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1843 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1845 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1846 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1847 code to use it yet).
1849 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1851 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1853 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1854 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1856 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1857 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1859 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1861 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1864 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1879 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1881 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1883 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).

1886 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1888 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1889 configuration files.
1891 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

1897 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1899 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1900 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1902 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1905 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1906 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1908 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1909 number of refiled message.
1911 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1913 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1914 for return value of wait().
1916 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1918 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1920 * Released nmh-0.16.

1924 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1926 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1927 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1928 deal with binary messages, yet).
1930 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1932 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1934 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1935 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1936 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1937 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1938 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1939 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1941 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1942 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1944 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1945 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1947 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1948 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1951 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1953 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1955 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1956 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1959 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1962 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1964 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1965 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1966 which used unsigned chars by default.
1968 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1970 * Released nmh-0.15.
1972 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1977 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1979 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1982 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1983 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1984 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1986 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1987 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1989 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1991 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1992 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1994 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1995 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1996 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1997 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1999 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2000 and put in own subroutine.
2002 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2003 and put in own subroutine.
2005 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2006 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2007 refile.c to use new routine.
2009 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2011 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2013 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2016 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2017 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2018 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2020 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2023 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2024 adding message to sequence.
2026 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2027 corresponding file in sbr.
2029 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2032 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2034 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2035 all selected messages from a sequence.
2037 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2038 selected messages to a sequence.
2040 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2043 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2045 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2046 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2048 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2067 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2068 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2069 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2070 environment variable.
2072 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2073 draft folder facility in nmh.
2075 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h

2087 * Released nmh-0.13.
2089 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2090 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2091 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2092 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2095 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2096 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2098 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2100 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2101 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2103 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2105 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2122 mp->attrstats with macros.
2124 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2127 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2130 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2131 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2133 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2134 will suppress the display of the message header.
2136 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2138 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2139 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2141 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2143 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2145 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2147 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2148 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2150 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2151 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2153 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2155 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2157 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2158 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2160 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2161 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2163 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2165 * Released nmh-0.10.

2172 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2174 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2175 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2177 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2178 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2180 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2183 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2185 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2186 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2188 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2195 * Released nmh-0.09.
2197 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2199 * Add configure check for killpg.

2213 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2215 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2216 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2218 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2220 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2221 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2223 * Released nmh-0.08.
2225 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2226 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2227 locking database itself.
2229 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2231 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2233 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2234 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2237 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2238 rather than mmdf format.
2240 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2241 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2242 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2243 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2245 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2247 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2249 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2252 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2253 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2254 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2256 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2257 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2258 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2260 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2262 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2263 can still easily change this in config.h).
2265 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2266 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2267 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2269 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2271 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2272 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2281 * Released nmh-0.07.
2283 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2285 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2286 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2288 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2289 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2292 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2293 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2295 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2296 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2298 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2300 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2302 * Added configure check for tzset.
2304 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2306 * Released nmh-0.06.
2308 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2309 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2311 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2312 many such machines around anymore.
2314 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2315 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2317 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2318 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2320 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2322 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2323 pre-generated version if necessary.
2325 * Released nmh-0.05.
2327 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2328 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2329 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2330 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2332 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2333 be linked in one pass.
2335 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2337 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2338 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2340 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2342 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2344 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2346 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2347 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2348 become the current folder.
2350 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2352 * Released nmh-0.04.
2354 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2357 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2359 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2360 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2361 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2363 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2365 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2366 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2368 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2370 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2371 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2374 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2375 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2377 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2379 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2380 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2381 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2382 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2383 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2384 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2386 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2388 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2389 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2391 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2392 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2394 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2396 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2397 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2399 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2401 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2402 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2403 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2405 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2407 * Released nmh-0.03.
2409 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2410 .mh_sequence file existed.
2412 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2413 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2415 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2416 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2419 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2421 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2424 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2426 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2427 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2428 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2430 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2432 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2433 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2434 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2436 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2438 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2439 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2441 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2443 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2446 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2447 directory from where the source code is located.
2449 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2451 * Released nmh-0.02.
2453 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2458 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2460 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2461 and sys_nerr directly.
2463 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2465 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2467 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2469 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2471 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2472 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2473 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2474 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2475 rather than in script.
2477 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2479 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2481 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2482 macro defined on Solaris.
2484 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2486 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2487 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2489 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2490 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2491 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2492 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2495 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2497 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2498 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2500 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2503 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2505 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2507 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2508 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2510 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2512 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2513 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2515 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2517 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2518 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2519 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2520 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2521 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2522 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2524 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2526 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2528 * Released nmh-0.01.
2530 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2531 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2532 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2535 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2540 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2542 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2543 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2545 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2547 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2548 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2549 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2550 script to find_program.
2552 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2554 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2555 speed up -recurse option.
2557 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2558 yet, but it compiles :-)
2560 * Changed default location for install to
2561 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2562 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2563 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2566 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2567 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2568 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
