1 2008-04-30 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * mts/smtp/smtp.c: provide a callback for SASL_CB_AUTHNAME
4 (fixes issue with SASL sending the wrong username in some
5 circumstances). Thanks to <der_wachtmeister@freenet.de>
8 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
10 * Revert previous attempt at fix for SASL issue as it
11 is the wrong approach.
13 * Fix in correct manner, by making sm_rrecord() and thus
14 sm_hear() set the length of the reply string correctly
15 (the SASL libraries now care if you pass in the wrong
18 * Correct various places in smtp.c where the reply string
19 might not have been correctly NUL-terminated. Includes a
20 fix for a particularly nasty and long standing screwup
21 where the buffer length counting in smhear() was totally
22 broken for continued lines from the server.
24 2008-04-29 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
26 * Cope with sasl_decode64() returning SASL_CONTINUE, as
27 happens with newer sasl libraries and LOGIN auth.
29 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
31 * Updated some of the 'how to do a release' documentation.
33 * Upped the VERSION string to '1.3-dev', since 1.3-RC1 has
36 2008-04-27 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
38 * Released nmh-1.3 RC1.
40 2008-04-11 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
42 * acconfig.h, configure.in, sbr/dtime.c, sbr/pidwait.c,
43 uip/mhshowsbr.c, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c, uip/termsbr.c:
44 move most remaining macros out of acconfig.h which is an
45 obsolete feature of autoconf
47 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
49 * bug #18655: fix use of admonish() for a fatal error (should
50 be adios(); only actual effect would be wrong exit code).
51 Thanks to Craig Leres for spotting this.
53 2008-04-05 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
55 * bug #20028 (Debian bug 399271): fix code assuming that pointer
56 differences were 32 bits -- thanks to Dean Gaudet for the patch.
58 2008-01-25 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
60 * uip/mhshowsbr.c (show_all_messages): Be more generous when parsing
63 2007-11-04 Joel Reicher <joel@panacea.null.org>
65 * Changed done() link overriding to function pointer. Return type
66 is now void so that exit() can be used as done() callback. Dead
67 code return from all done()s removed, with return 1 in main()
68 following done() (should never be reached).
70 2007-08-21 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
72 * Red Hat Bug #253342: inc.c, utils.c, utils.h: When inc is run with
73 the -silent flag, don't exit(1) for no apparent reason.
75 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
77 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
78 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
80 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
82 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
83 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
84 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
85 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
86 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
87 acconfig.h if you must.
89 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
91 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
92 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
93 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
94 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
96 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
98 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
101 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
103 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
104 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
105 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
106 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
107 have Content-Disposition.
109 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
111 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
114 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
116 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
117 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
119 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
121 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
122 encoded block is empty
124 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
126 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
127 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
128 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
131 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
133 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
134 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
137 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
139 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
140 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
141 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
142 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
145 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
146 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
148 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
150 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
151 function num_digits into utils.c
153 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
155 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
156 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
157 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
159 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
161 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
162 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
163 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
164 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
165 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
166 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
167 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
168 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
170 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
172 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
173 Content-Disposition header.
175 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
177 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
178 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
179 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
180 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
181 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
182 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
183 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
184 users to easily accomodate that by adding
185 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
187 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
189 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
190 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
192 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
194 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
196 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
197 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
199 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
200 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
202 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
204 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
205 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
206 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
207 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
208 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
211 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
213 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
214 widths, restoring right justification feature
216 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
218 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
219 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
220 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
222 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
225 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
227 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
228 handling multi column characters.
230 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
232 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
234 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
236 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
237 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
240 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
242 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
244 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
246 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
249 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
251 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
254 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
256 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
257 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
258 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
259 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
261 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
263 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
264 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
265 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
266 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
267 where configure's autodetection fails.
269 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
271 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
272 configure script change.
274 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
276 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
277 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
278 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
281 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
283 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
284 the context is only read once.
286 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
288 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
289 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
291 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
293 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
294 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
296 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
297 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
300 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
301 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
304 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
306 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
307 vi isn't found during build.
309 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
311 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
312 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
314 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
315 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
316 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
318 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
320 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
321 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
323 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
324 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
325 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
326 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
329 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
330 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
331 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
333 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
334 entry in the context file.
336 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
338 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
339 problems on some systems
341 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
342 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
344 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
346 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
347 sendmail isn't found during build.
349 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
351 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
353 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
355 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
356 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
358 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
359 references to the web page and mailing list locations
361 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
362 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
364 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
367 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
369 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
370 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
371 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
373 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
374 was configured with --enable-apop.
376 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
377 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
378 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
380 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
381 new versions of flex.
383 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
384 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
385 doesn't guess wrongly.
387 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
389 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
390 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
392 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
393 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
395 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
396 files with numbers as names
398 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
400 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
402 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
404 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
406 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
407 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
409 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
411 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
414 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
415 test/report error writing to stdout
417 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
419 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
421 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
422 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
423 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
425 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
426 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
427 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
429 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
431 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
432 character set used by the current locale
434 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
435 message's filename overflows an int when converted
437 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
438 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
440 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
442 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
445 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
447 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
448 from Michael Richardson.
450 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
451 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
453 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
455 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
456 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
458 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
460 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
461 find sub-parts of the specified part
463 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
465 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
466 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
467 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
468 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
469 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
470 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
471 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
474 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
476 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
477 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
478 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
481 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
482 refiling with -src option.
484 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
486 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
488 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
490 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
491 mailpath being overwritten.
493 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
495 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
496 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
497 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
498 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
499 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
500 reinitializes the tmp file string.
502 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
503 if a format string was read from the profile.
505 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
506 path for the external hook.
508 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
510 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
511 another location for ndbm.
513 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
515 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
517 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
519 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
522 136976 - Handle binary content messages
523 143427 - mh-format.man typo
524 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
525 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
526 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
527 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
528 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
529 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
530 181867 - typo for nmh.man
532 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
534 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
535 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
536 contitional code which will result in cached data to
537 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
538 and parse on the first use.
539 * Remove some unused flag bits.
541 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
543 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
544 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
546 #578 - repl leaks umask
547 #1393 - sortm core dumps
548 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
549 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
550 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
552 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
553 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions

557 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
558 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
560 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
562 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
563 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
564 to docs/README.about.
566 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
568 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
570 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
571 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
572 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
573 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
576 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
578 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
579 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
580 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
581 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
582 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
583 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
586 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
587 summary configure prints out.
589 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
590 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
591 subjectively more readable) format.
593 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
595 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
598 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
600 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
601 19xx when it's not necessary.
603 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
605 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
606 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
609 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
610 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
611 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
612 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
613 the man pages correctly.
615 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
617 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
619 * Finished manpages ali-prev
621 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
622 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
623 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
626 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
627 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
628 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
629 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
631 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
633 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
634 the formatting rules I've been using.
638 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
640 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
641 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
642 used in the manpages.
644 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
645 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
646 read in the contents of the file as the variable
649 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
650 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
651 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
652 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
653 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
654 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
655 bold flags and italicized parameters.
657 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
659 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
660 --with-locking option.
662 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
663 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
664 information was not being communicated to the
665 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
666 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
667 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
668 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
669 undefined symbols problems.
671 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
672 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
673 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
674 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
675 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
676 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
677 for a genuine krb4 installation.
679 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
681 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
682 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
684 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
686 * Made a new ./configure option called
687 "--with-locking" that allows the file
688 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
689 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
691 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
692 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
693 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
694 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
695 the user that these are the valid options, and
696 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
699 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
701 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
702 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
703 committed to supporting flex only, since
704 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
705 string, as well as other problems documented
706 below and on nmh-workers.
708 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
709 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
710 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
713 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
714 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
716 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
718 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
719 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
720 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
722 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
724 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
725 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
727 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
729 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
730 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
731 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
732 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
733 couldn't correctly identify them.
735 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
737 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
738 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
739 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
740 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
741 not depending on an external archive.
743 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
744 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
745 mts/generic is no longer built.
747 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
749 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
750 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
751 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
752 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
753 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
754 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
755 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
756 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
758 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
760 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
761 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
764 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
766 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
767 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
768 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
771 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
772 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
773 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
774 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
776 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
777 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
778 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
779 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
780 merged into the smtp code).
782 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
783 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
784 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
787 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
788 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
789 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
790 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
791 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
792 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
793 in the appropriate Makefile.in
795 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
797 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
798 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
799 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
800 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
801 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
802 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
803 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
804 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
805 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
806 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
807 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
809 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
811 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
812 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
813 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
814 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
815 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
816 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
817 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
818 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
819 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
821 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
823 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
824 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
827 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
829 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
830 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
832 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
834 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
835 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
836 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
837 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
839 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
842 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
843 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
844 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
845 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
847 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
848 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
850 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
852 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
854 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
855 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
856 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
857 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
859 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
860 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
861 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
862 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
864 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
865 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
866 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
867 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
869 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
870 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
871 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
873 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
875 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
876 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
877 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
878 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
879 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
880 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
883 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
884 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
886 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
887 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
889 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
891 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
893 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
895 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
896 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
897 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
898 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
900 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
902 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
903 be easily changed from "," to "#".
905 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
907 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
909 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
910 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
913 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
915 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
916 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
917 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
918 but not for the subsequent data stream.
920 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
922 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
923 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
924 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
925 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
926 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
928 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
930 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
931 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
933 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
934 cat, also define lorder as echo.
936 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
938 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
940 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
941 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
942 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
944 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
946 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
949 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
950 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
952 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
954 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
955 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
957 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
959 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
960 inc does not need to be setgid.
962 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
964 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
965 library, as found on Debian systems.
967 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
969 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
971 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
972 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
973 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
974 case-insensitivity flag.
976 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
978 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
979 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
981 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
983 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
984 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
985 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
986 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
987 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
988 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
989 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
990 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
991 getting moved aside).
993 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
994 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
996 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
998 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
999 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
1000 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
1001 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
1002 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
1003 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
1004 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
1005 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
1006 the prototype, but never sets it.
1008 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
1009 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
1010 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
1011 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
1012 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
1013 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
1015 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
1016 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
1017 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
1018 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
1019 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
1021 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1023 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
1024 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
1027 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
1028 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
1029 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
1030 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
1031 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
1032 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
1033 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
1035 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1037 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
1039 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
1040 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
1041 this works on other systems.
1043 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1045 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
1046 checks for write failures.
1048 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
1050 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
1052 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
1055 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
1057 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
1059 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1061 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
1062 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
1065 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1067 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
1068 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
1069 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
1070 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
1072 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1074 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1075 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1078 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1079 as well as Makefiles.
1081 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1083 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1084 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1085 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1086 should make maintainability easier.
1088 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1089 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1090 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1091 whatever you know works.
1093 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1095 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1096 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1097 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1099 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1100 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1101 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1102 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1104 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1105 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1106 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1108 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1109 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1110 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1111 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1112 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1114 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1115 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1116 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1117 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1118 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1119 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1120 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1121 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1122 from the BSD version.
1124 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1125 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1126 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1128 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1129 in ruserpass.c also.
1131 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1134 This happens on solaris:
1137 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1138 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1142 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1144 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1145 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1147 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1149 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1150 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1151 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1152 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1153 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1154 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1155 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1156 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1157 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1158 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1159 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1161 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1162 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1163 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1164 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1165 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1166 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1169 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1170 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1171 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1172 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1173 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1175 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1176 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1178 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1180 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1181 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1182 to stdin, such as exmh.
1184 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1185 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1186 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1189 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1191 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1192 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1193 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1194 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1195 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1196 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1197 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1199 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1201 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1202 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1204 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1206 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1207 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1209 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1211 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1214 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1215 along with any -host or -user option.
1217 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1219 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1221 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1222 process was fresh in my mind.
1224 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1226 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1227 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1229 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1231 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1236 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1237 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1238 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1239 part of the program's name.
1241 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1242 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1245 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1247 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1248 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1249 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1250 single-character format would cause programs using this
1251 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1252 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1253 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1254 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1257 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1259 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1260 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1261 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1262 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1263 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1264 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1266 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1267 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1268 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1269 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1270 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1271 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1272 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1273 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1275 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1276 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1277 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1278 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1279 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1280 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1281 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1282 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1283 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1284 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1286 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1288 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1289 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1291 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1292 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1294 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1299 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1301 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1302 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1303 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1304 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1306 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1307 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1308 problem in the routine.
1310 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1312 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1313 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1315 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1316 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1317 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1320 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1322 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1323 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1324 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1325 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1326 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1327 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1328 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1329 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1330 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1331 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1333 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1335 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1336 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1337 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1338 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1339 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1340 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1341 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1342 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1343 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1344 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1345 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1346 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1348 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1349 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1350 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1351 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1352 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1354 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1357 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1359 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1360 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1361 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1362 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1365 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1367 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1369 * Applied, after some finessing,
1370 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1372 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1374 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1376 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1377 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1378 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1379 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1381 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1383 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1384 forgetting to do so!).
1386 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1387 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1388 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1389 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1390 arguments to enable all three types.
1392 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1393 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1395 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1396 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1397 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1398 updated copy of mts.conf.
1400 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1402 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1403 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1404 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1406 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1408 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1410 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1411 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1412 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1414 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1415 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1416 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1418 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1419 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1420 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1422 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1424 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1426 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1428 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1430 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1431 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1433 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1434 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1435 certain suffix to run properly.
1437 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1438 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1439 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1441 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1442 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1443 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1444 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1445 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1446 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1447 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1449 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1451 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1452 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1453 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1454 until some year far in the future).
1456 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1458 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1460 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1461 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1463 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1464 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1467 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1469 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1470 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1471 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1472 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1473 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1474 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1476 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1478 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1480 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1481 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1482 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1484 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1485 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1486 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1487 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1488 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1489 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1492 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1493 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1494 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1495 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1496 of masquerading individually.
1498 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1499 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1500 GECOS field delimiters.
1502 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1504 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1505 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1506 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1507 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1508 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1509 and explaining the feature.
1511 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1513 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1514 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1517 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1518 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1519 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1521 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1522 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1523 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1524 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1526 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1527 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1528 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1531 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1533 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1534 code to be executed.
1536 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1538 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1540 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1541 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1542 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1543 quotes embedded in them.
1545 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1547 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1548 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1549 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1550 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1551 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1552 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1553 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1556 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1557 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1558 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1559 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1560 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1562 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1564 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1566 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1567 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1568 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1569 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1571 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1574 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1576 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1578 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1580 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1581 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1582 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1584 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1587 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1589 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1590 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1591 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1592 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1593 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1594 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1596 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1597 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1599 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1601 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1604 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1606 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1607 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1608 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1611 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1612 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1613 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1614 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1615 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1616 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1617 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1618 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1619 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1620 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1621 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1622 processing that post has).
1624 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1626 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1627 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1628 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1629 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1630 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1631 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1634 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1636 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1638 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1640 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1642 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1643 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1645 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1648 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1650 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1651 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1652 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1655 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1657 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1658 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1659 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1660 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1661 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1662 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1664 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1666 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1668 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1670 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1671 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1672 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1673 caught again. This works for now.
1675 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1677 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1679 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1680 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1682 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1684 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1685 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1687 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1689 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1691 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1693 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1694 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1696 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1698 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1699 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1700 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1701 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1702 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1705 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1707 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1708 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1709 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1711 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1712 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1715 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1717 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1718 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1719 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1721 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1723 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1724 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1726 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1728 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1731 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1732 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1734 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1735 macros, regardless of platform.
1737 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1738 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1740 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1741 with x-conversions=gzip.
1743 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1745 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1748 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1749 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1750 implicit definition of ioctl().
1752 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1753 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1754 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1755 want to mess with them.
1757 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1759 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1760 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1762 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1763 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1765 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1766 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1767 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1769 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1770 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1771 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1773 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1774 function initgroups.
1776 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1779 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1780 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1783 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1784 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1787 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1788 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1792 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1794 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1795 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1796 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1798 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1799 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1801 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1803 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1805 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1806 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1807 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1808 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1810 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1811 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1813 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1815 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1817 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1819 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1820 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1822 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1824 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1825 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1827 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1828 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1829 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1830 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1832 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1833 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1835 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1837 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1838 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1840 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1842 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1843 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1846 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1848 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1850 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1852 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1853 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1855 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1856 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1857 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1859 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1860 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1861 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1863 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1864 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1865 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1867 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1868 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1871 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1872 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1874 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1875 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1877 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1878 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1880 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1881 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1882 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1884 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1885 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1887 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1888 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1889 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1891 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1892 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1895 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1896 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1898 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1899 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1900 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1901 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1903 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1904 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1906 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1910 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1911 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1912 would not be changed.
1914 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1915 one from the Apache web server.
1917 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1918 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1920 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1921 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1922 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1924 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1926 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1928 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1929 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1932 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1933 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1934 removes a bad race condition.
1936 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1939 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1940 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1941 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1943 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1944 sequence information.
1946 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1947 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1949 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1952 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1955 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1957 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1958 interpret 034 as octal.
1960 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1962 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1963 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1965 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1966 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1968 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1969 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1971 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1972 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1974 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1975 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1977 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1978 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1979 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1981 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1982 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1983 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1985 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1987 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1989 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1990 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1993 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1995 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1996 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1998 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1999 header field information.
2001 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
2002 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
2004 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
2005 values when parsing a content.
2007 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
2008 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
2010 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
2011 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
2013 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
2014 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2016 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
2017 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
2019 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
2021 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
2023 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
2025 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
2027 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
2028 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
2031 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
2032 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
2034 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
2035 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
2036 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
2037 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
2038 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
2039 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
2042 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2044 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
2045 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
2046 buffer length checks for this parameter.
2048 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
2049 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
2051 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
2053 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
2054 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
2055 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
2056 of the limits on the length of command lines.
2058 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
2059 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
2062 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
2063 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
2064 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
2065 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
2068 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2070 * Released nmh-0.27.
2072 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
2073 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2075 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2076 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2077 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2078 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2081 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2082 mhbuild returns an error.
2084 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2085 rename the draft file.
2087 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2088 use a global variable.
2090 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2091 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2093 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2094 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2096 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2097 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2098 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2100 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2101 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2103 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2104 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2107 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2108 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2111 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2112 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2114 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2115 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2116 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2118 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2119 to new function output_content_folder.
2121 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2122 new function output_content_file.
2124 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2125 to new function parse_format_string.
2127 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2128 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2129 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2130 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2132 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2133 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2134 message/external file from ftp.
2136 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2137 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2138 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2140 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2141 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2144 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2147 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2148 new file mhstoresbr.c
2150 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2153 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2154 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2156 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2157 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2159 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2160 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2161 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2163 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2165 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2167 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2168 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2171 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2172 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2174 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2177 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2179 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2181 * Released nmh-0.26.
2183 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2184 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2185 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2186 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2188 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2189 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2190 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2191 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2192 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2194 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2195 But it is not on by default.
2197 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2198 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2200 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2202 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2204 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2206 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2208 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2209 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2211 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2213 * Released nmh-0.25.
2215 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2216 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2217 uses the original name of the library.
2219 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2220 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2223 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2224 list_content and list_debug.
2226 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2228 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2229 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2231 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2233 * Released nmh-0.24.
2235 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2237 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2238 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2240 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2241 large sequence line.
2243 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2245 * Released nmh-0.23.
2247 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2249 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2250 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2251 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2252 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2254 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2255 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2258 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2260 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2262 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2264 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2265 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2267 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2268 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2270 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2271 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2273 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2274 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2276 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2278 * Released nmh-0.22.
2280 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2281 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2283 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2285 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2286 mh-profile(5) man page.
2288 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2289 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2291 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2293 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2295 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2296 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2298 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2300 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2301 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2302 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2304 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2305 source message on the standard input.
2307 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2309 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2310 rather than -rfc934mode.
2312 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2313 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2316 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2317 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2319 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2322 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2324 * Released nmh-0.21.
2326 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2327 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2329 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2332 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2333 to use for text contents.
2335 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2337 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2339 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2341 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2343 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2344 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2346 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2347 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2348 spaces between encoded word are.
2350 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2352 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2353 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2355 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2356 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2357 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2359 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2361 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2362 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2364 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2366 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2368 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2369 ISO-8859-X character set.
2371 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2374 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2375 permissions, not write permissions.
2377 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2378 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2380 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2383 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2385 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2387 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2388 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2390 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2391 message contains valid character set.
2393 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2394 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2396 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2397 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2399 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2400 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2401 between an encoded word and normal text.
2403 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2404 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2406 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2407 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2409 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2412 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2413 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2416 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2417 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2419 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2420 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2422 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2424 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2426 * Released nmh-0.20.
2428 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2430 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2432 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2433 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2434 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2436 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2437 and the To: line was missing.
2439 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2441 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2443 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2445 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2446 watch the POP transaction.
2448 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2449 first, and use it if available.
2451 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2452 first, and use it if available.
2454 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2456 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2458 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2459 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2460 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2463 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2464 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2465 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2467 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2468 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2471 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2473 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2474 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2476 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2478 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2479 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2481 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2482 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2483 message to which you are replying.
2485 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2486 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2487 making group replies.
2489 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2491 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2493 * Released nmh-0.19.
2495 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2496 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2498 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2499 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2500 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2501 to the end of the man page.
2503 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2504 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2505 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2506 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2507 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2508 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2510 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2513 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2514 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2515 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2517 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2518 the next available number above the message number you wish
2521 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2522 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2524 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2525 file sbr/seq_print.c
2527 * flist will now update the current folder.
2529 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2530 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2531 but now undocumented.
2533 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2536 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2537 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2539 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2541 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2542 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2544 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2546 * Released nmh-0.18.
2548 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2549 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2550 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2552 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2553 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2555 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2556 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2557 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2558 previous public/private status.
2560 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2563 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2566 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2567 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2568 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2570 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2571 take option to determine whether it should get current
2572 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2573 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2575 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2577 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2578 wait for stopped processes.
2580 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2581 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2583 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2585 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2587 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2588 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2590 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2591 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2593 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2594 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2595 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2596 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2598 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2601 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2604 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2606 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2607 the debugging output.
2609 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2610 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2612 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2614 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2616 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2617 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2619 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2621 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2622 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2623 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2624 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2625 in the given sequence.
2627 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2628 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2629 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2630 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2631 subdirectories of a given directory.
2633 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2634 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2635 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2637 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2638 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2640 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2642 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2645 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2646 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2647 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2649 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2650 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2651 are calculated at runtime.
2653 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2655 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2657 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2658 about checking for global mh.profile.
2660 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2661 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2662 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2663 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2664 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2665 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2667 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2668 adding message to folder itself.
2670 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2671 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2672 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2675 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2676 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2679 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2680 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2681 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2683 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2684 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2686 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2687 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2688 code to use it yet).
2690 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2692 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2694 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2695 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2697 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2698 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2700 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2702 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2705 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2707 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2709 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2711 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2713 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2714 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2716 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2718 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2720 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2722 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2724 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2726 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2727 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2729 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2730 configuration files.
2732 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2734 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2736 * Released nmh-0.17.
2738 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2740 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2741 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2743 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2746 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2747 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2749 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2750 number of refiled message.
2752 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2754 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2755 for return value of wait().
2757 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2759 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2761 * Released nmh-0.16.
2763 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2765 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2767 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2768 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2769 deal with binary messages, yet).
2771 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2773 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2775 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2776 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2777 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2778 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2779 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2780 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2782 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2783 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2785 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2786 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2788 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2789 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2792 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2794 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2796 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2797 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2800 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2803 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2805 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2806 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2807 which used unsigned chars by default.
2809 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2811 * Released nmh-0.15.
2813 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2814 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.

2818 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2820 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters

2824 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2825 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2827 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2828 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2830 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2832 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2833 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2835 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2836 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2837 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2838 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2840 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2841 and put in own subroutine.
2843 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2844 and put in own subroutine.

2847 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2848 refile.c to use new routine.

2879 selected messages to a sequence.
2881 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2884 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2930 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2931 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2932 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2933 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2936 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2937 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2939 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2941 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2942 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2944 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2946 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2975 will suppress the display of the message header.
2977 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2979 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2991 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2992 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2994 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2996 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2998 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2999 folder/message structure when done with folder.
3001 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
3002 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

3026 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
3027 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
3029 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3031 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

3061 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
3062 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
3064 * Released nmh-0.08.
3066 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
3067 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
3068 locking database itself.

3072 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3074 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3075 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3078 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3079 rather than mmdf format.
3081 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3082 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3083 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3084 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3086 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3088 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3090 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3093 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3094 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3095 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3097 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3098 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3099 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3101 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3104 can still easily change this in config.h).
3106 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3107 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3108 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3110 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3112 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3127 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3129 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3130 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3133 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3134 built-in FTP client in mhn.

3147 * Released nmh-0.06.
3149 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3150 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3152 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3153 many such machines around anymore.
3155 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3156 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3158 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3159 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3161 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3163 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3164 pre-generated version if necessary.
3166 * Released nmh-0.05.
3168 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3169 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3170 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3171 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3173 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3174 be linked in one pass.
3176 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3178 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3179 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3181 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3183 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3185 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3187 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3188 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3189 become the current folder.
3191 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3193 * Released nmh-0.04.

3198 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3200 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3201 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3202 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3204 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3206 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3207 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3209 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3211 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3212 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3215 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3216 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3218 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3220 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3221 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3222 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3223 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3224 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3225 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3227 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3229 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3230 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3232 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3233 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3235 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3237 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3238 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3240 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3242 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3243 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3244 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3246 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3248 * Released nmh-0.03.
3250 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3251 .mh_sequence file existed.
3253 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3254 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3256 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3257 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3260 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3262 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3265 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3267 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3268 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3269 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3271 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3273 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3274 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3275 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3277 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3280 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3282 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3284 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3286 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3287 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3288 directory from where the source code is located.
3290 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3292 * Released nmh-0.02.

3312 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3313 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3314 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3315 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3316 rather than in script.
3318 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3320 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3322 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

3327 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3328 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3330 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3331 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3332 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3333 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3336 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3338 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3339 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3341 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3344 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3346 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3348 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3349 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3351 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3353 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3354 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3356 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3358 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3359 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3360 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3361 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3362 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3363 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3365 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3367 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3369 * Released nmh-0.01.

3372 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3373 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3376 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3378 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3381 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3383 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3384 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3386 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3388 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3389 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3390 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3391 script to find_program.
3393 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3395 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3396 speed up -recurse option.
3398 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3399 yet, but it compiles :-)
3401 * Changed default location for install to
3402 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3403 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3404 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3407 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3408 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3409 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
