1 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
3 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
4 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
5 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
6 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
7 Build 10.0.3416, in particular, doesn't see attachments in
8 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
9 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
10 users to easily accomodate that by adding
11 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
13 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
15 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
16 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
18 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
20 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
22 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
23 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
25 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
26 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
28 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
30 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
31 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
32 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
33 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
34 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
37 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
39 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
40 widths, restoring right justification feature
42 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
44 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
45 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
46 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
48 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
51 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
53 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
54 handling multi column characters.
56 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
58 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
60 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
62 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
63 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
66 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
68 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
70 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
72 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
75 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
77 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
80 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
82 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
83 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
84 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
85 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
87 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
89 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
90 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
91 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
92 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
93 where configure's autodetection fails.
95 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
97 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
98 configure script change.
100 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
102 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
103 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
104 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
107 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
109 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
110 the context is only read once.
112 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
114 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
115 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
117 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
119 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
120 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
122 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
123 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
126 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
127 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
130 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
132 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
133 vi isn't found during build.
135 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
137 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
138 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
140 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
141 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
142 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
144 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
146 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
147 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
149 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
150 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
151 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
152 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
155 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
156 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
157 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
159 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
160 entry in the context file.
162 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
164 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
165 problems on some systems
167 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
168 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
170 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
172 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
173 sendmail isn't found during build.
175 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
177 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
179 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
181 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
182 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
184 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
185 references to the web page and mailing list locations
187 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
188 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
190 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
193 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
195 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
196 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
197 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
199 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
200 was configured with --enable-apop.
202 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
203 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
204 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
206 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
207 new versions of flex.
209 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
210 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
211 doesn't guess wrongly.
213 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
215 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
216 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
218 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
219 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
221 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
222 files with numbers as names
224 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
226 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
228 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
230 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
232 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
233 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
235 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
237 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
240 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
241 test/report error writing to stdout
243 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
245 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
247 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
248 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
249 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
251 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
252 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
253 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
255 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
257 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
258 character set used by the current locale
260 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
261 message's filename overflows an int when converted
263 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
264 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
266 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
268 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
271 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
273 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
274 from Michael Richardson.
276 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
277 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
279 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
281 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
282 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
284 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
286 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
287 find sub-parts of the specified part
289 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
291 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
292 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
293 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
294 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
295 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
296 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
297 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
300 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
302 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
303 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
304 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
307 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
308 refiling with -src option.
310 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
312 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
314 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
316 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
317 mailpath being overwritten.
319 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
321 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
322 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
323 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
324 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
325 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
326 reinitializes the tmp file string.
328 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
329 if a format string was read from the profile.
331 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
332 path for the external hook.
334 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
336 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
337 another location for ndbm.
339 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
341 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
343 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
345 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
348 136976 - Handle binary content messages
349 143427 - mh-format.man typo
350 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
351 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
352 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
353 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
354 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
355 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
356 181867 - typo for nmh.man
358 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
360 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
361 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
362 contitional code which will result in cached data to
363 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
364 and parse on the first use.
365 * Remove some unused flag bits.
367 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
369 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
370 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
372 #578 - repl leaks umask
373 #1393 - sortm core dumps
374 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
375 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
376 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
378 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
379 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
381 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
383 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
384 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
386 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
388 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
389 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
390 to docs/README.about.
392 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
394 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
396 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
397 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
398 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
399 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
402 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
404 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
405 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
406 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
407 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
408 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
409 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
412 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
413 summary configure prints out.
415 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
416 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
417 subjectively more readable) format.
419 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
421 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
424 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
426 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
427 19xx when it's not necessary.
429 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
431 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
432 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
435 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
436 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
437 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
438 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
439 the man pages correctly.
441 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
443 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
445 * Finished manpages ali-prev
447 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
448 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
449 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
452 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
453 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
454 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
455 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
457 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
459 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
460 the formatting rules I've been using.
464 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
466 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
467 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
468 used in the manpages.
470 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
471 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
472 read in the contents of the file as the variable
475 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
476 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
477 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
478 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
479 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
480 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
481 bold flags and italicized parameters.
483 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
485 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
486 --with-locking option.
488 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
489 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
490 information was not being communicated to the
491 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
492 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
493 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
494 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
495 undefined symbols problems.
497 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
498 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
499 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
500 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
501 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
502 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
503 for a genuine krb4 installation.
505 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
507 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
508 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
510 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
512 * Made a new ./configure option called
513 "--with-locking" that allows the file
514 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
515 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
517 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
518 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
519 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
520 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
521 the user that these are the valid options, and
522 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
525 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
527 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
528 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
529 committed to supporting flex only, since
530 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
531 string, as well as other problems documented
532 below and on nmh-workers.
534 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
535 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
536 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
539 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
540 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
542 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
544 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
545 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
546 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
548 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
550 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
551 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
553 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
555 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
556 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
557 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
558 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
559 couldn't correctly identify them.
561 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
563 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
564 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
565 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
566 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
567 not depending on an external archive.
569 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
570 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
571 mts/generic is no longer built.
573 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
575 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
576 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
577 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
578 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
579 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
580 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
581 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
582 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
584 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
586 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
587 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
590 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
592 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
593 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
594 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
597 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
598 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
599 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
600 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
602 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
603 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
604 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
605 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
606 merged into the smtp code).
608 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
609 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
610 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
613 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
614 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
615 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
616 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
617 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
618 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
619 in the appropriate Makefile.in
621 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
623 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
624 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
625 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
626 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
627 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
628 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
629 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
630 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
631 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
632 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
633 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
635 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
637 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
638 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
639 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
640 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
641 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
642 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
643 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
644 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
645 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
647 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
649 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
650 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
653 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
655 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
656 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
658 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
660 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
661 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
662 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
663 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
665 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
667 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
668 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
669 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
670 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
671 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
673 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
674 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
676 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
678 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
680 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
681 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
682 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
683 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
685 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
686 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
687 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
688 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
690 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
691 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
692 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
693 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
695 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
696 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
697 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
699 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
701 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
702 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
703 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
704 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
705 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
706 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
709 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
710 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
712 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
713 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
715 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
717 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
719 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
721 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
722 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
723 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
724 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
726 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
728 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
729 be easily changed from "," to "#".
731 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
733 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
735 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
736 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
739 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
741 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
742 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
743 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
744 but not for the subsequent data stream.
746 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
748 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
749 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
750 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
751 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
752 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
754 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
756 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
757 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
759 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
760 cat, also define lorder as echo.
762 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
764 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
766 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
767 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
768 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
770 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
772 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
775 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
776 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
778 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
780 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
781 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
783 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
785 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
786 inc does not need to be setgid.
788 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
790 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
791 library, as found on Debian systems.
793 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
795 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
797 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
798 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
799 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
800 case-insensitivity flag.
802 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
804 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
805 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
807 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
809 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
810 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
811 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
812 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
813 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
814 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
815 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
816 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
817 getting moved aside).
819 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
820 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
822 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
824 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
825 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
826 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
827 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
828 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
829 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
830 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
831 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
832 the prototype, but never sets it.
834 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
835 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
836 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
837 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
838 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
839 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
841 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
842 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
843 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
844 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
845 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
847 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
849 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
850 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
853 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
854 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
855 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
856 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
857 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
858 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
859 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
861 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
863 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
865 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
866 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
867 this works on other systems.
869 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
871 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
872 checks for write failures.
874 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
876 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
878 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
881 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
883 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
885 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
887 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
888 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
891 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
893 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
894 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
895 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
896 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
898 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
900 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
901 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
904 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
905 as well as Makefiles.
907 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
909 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
910 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
911 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
912 should make maintainability easier.
914 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
915 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
916 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
917 whatever you know works.
919 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
921 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
922 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
923 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
925 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
926 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
927 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
928 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
930 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
931 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
932 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
934 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
935 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
936 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
937 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
938 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
940 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
941 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
942 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
943 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
944 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
945 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
946 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
947 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
948 from the BSD version.
950 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
951 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
952 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
954 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
957 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
960 This happens on solaris:
963 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
964 No manual entry for mts.conf.
968 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
970 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
971 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
973 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
975 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
976 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
977 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
978 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
979 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
980 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
981 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
982 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
983 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
984 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
985 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
987 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
988 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
989 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
990 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
991 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
992 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
995 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
996 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
997 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
998 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
999 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1001 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1002 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1004 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1006 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1007 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1008 to stdin, such as exmh.
1010 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1011 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1012 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1015 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1017 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1018 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1019 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1020 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1021 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1022 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1023 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1025 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1027 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1028 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1030 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1032 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1033 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1035 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1037 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1040 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1041 along with any -host or -user option.
1043 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1045 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1047 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1048 process was fresh in my mind.
1050 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1052 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1053 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1055 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1057 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1059 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1062 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1063 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1064 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1065 part of the program's name.
1067 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1068 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1071 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1073 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1074 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1075 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1076 single-character format would cause programs using this
1077 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1078 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1079 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1080 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1

1085 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1086 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1087 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1088 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1089 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1090 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1092 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1093 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1094 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1095 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1096 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1097 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1098 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1099 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1101 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1102 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1103 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1104 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1105 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1106 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1107 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1108 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1109 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1110 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1112 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1114 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1115 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1117 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1118 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1120 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1125 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1127 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1128 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1129 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1130 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1132 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1133 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1134 problem in the routine.
1136 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1138 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1139 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1141 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1142 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1143 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1146 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1148 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1149 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1150 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1151 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1152 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1153 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1154 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1155 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1156 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1157 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1159 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1162 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1163 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1164 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1165 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1166 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1167 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1168 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1169 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1170 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1171 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1172 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1174 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1175 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1176 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1177 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1178 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1180 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1183 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1185 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1186 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1187 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1188 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1191 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1193 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1195 * Applied, after some finessing,
1196 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1198 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1200 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1202 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1203 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1204 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1205 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1207 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1209 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1210 forgetting to do so!).
1212 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1213 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1214 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1215 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1216 arguments to enable all three types.
1218 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1219 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1221 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1222 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1223 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1224 updated copy of mts.conf.
1226 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1228 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1229 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1230 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1232 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1234 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1236 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1237 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1238 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1240 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1241 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1242 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1244 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1245 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1246 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1248 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1250 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1252 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1254 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1256 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1257 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1259 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1260 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1261 certain suffix to run properly.
1263 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1264 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1265 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1267 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1268 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1269 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1270 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1271 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1272 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1273 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1275 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1277 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1278 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1279 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1280 until some year far in the future).
1282 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1286 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1287 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1289 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1290 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1293 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1295 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1296 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1297 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1298 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1299 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1300 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1302 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1304 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1306 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1307 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1308 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1310 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1311 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1312 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1313 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1314 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1315 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1318 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1319 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1320 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1321 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1322 of masquerading individually.
1324 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1325 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1326 GECOS field delimiters.
1328 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1330 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1331 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1332 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1333 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1334 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1335 and explaining the feature.
1337 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1339 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1340 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1343 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1344 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1345 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1347 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1348 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1349 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1350 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1352 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1353 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1354 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1357 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1359 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1360 code to be executed.
1362 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1364 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1366 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1367 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1368 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1369 quotes embedded in them.
1371 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1373 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1374 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1375 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1376 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1377 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1378 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1379 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1382 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1383 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1384 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1385 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1386 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1388 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1390 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1392 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1393 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1394 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1395 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1397 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1400 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1402 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1404 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1406 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1407 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1408 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1410 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1413 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1415 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1416 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1417 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1418 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1419 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1420 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1422 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1423 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1425 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1427 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1430 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1432 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1433 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1434 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1437 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1438 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1439 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1440 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1441 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1442 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1443 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1444 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1445 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1446 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1447 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1448 processing that post has).
1450 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1452 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1453 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1454 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1455 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1456 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1457 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1460 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1462 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1464 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1466 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1468 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1469 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1471 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1474 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1476 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1477 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1478 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1481 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1483 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1484 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1485 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1486 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1487 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1488 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1490 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1492 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1494 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1496 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1497 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1498 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1499 caught again. This works for now.
1501 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1503 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1505 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1506 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1508 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1510 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1511 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1513 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1515 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1517 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1519 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1520 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1522 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1524 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1525 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1526 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1527 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1528 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1531 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1533 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1534 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1535 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1537 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1538 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1541 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1543 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1544 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1545 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1547 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1549 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1550 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1552 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1554 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1557 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1558 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1560 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1561 macros, regardless of platform.
1563 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1564 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1566 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1567 with x-conversions=gzip.
1569 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1571 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1574 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1575 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1576 implicit definition of ioctl().
1578 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1579 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1580 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1581 want to mess with them.
1583 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1585 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1586 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1588 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1589 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1591 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1592 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1593 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1595 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1596 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1597 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1599 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1600 function initgroups.
1602 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1605 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1606 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1609 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1610 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1613 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1614 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1618 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1620 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1621 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1622 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1624 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1625 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1627 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1629 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1631 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1632 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1633 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1634 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1636 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1637 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1639 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1641 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1643 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1645 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1646 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1648 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1650 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1651 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1653 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1654 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1655 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1656 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1658 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1659 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1661 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1663 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1664 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1666 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1668 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1669 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1672 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1674 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1676 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1678 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1679 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1681 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1682 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1683 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1685 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1686 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1687 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1689 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1690 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1691 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1693 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1694 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1697 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1698 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1700 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1701 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1703 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1704 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1706 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1707 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1708 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1710 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1711 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1713 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1714 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1715 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1717 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1718 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1721 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1722 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1724 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1725 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1726 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1727 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1729 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1730 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1732 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1736 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1737 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1738 would not be changed.
1740 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1741 one from the Apache web server.
1743 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1744 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1746 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1747 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1748 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1750 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1752 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1754 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1755 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1758 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1759 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1760 removes a bad race condition.
1762 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1765 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1766 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1767 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1769 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1770 sequence information.
1772 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1773 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1775 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1778 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1781 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1783 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1784 interpret 034 as octal.
1786 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1788 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1789 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1791 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1792 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1794 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1795 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1797 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1798 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1800 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1801 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1803 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1804 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1805 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1807 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1808 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1809 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1811 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1813 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1815 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1816 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1819 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1821 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1822 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1824 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1825 header field information.
1827 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1828 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1830 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1831 values when parsing a content.
1833 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1834 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1836 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1837 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1839 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1840 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1842 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1843 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1845 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1847 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1849 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1851 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1853 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1854 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1857 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1858 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1860 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1861 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1862 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1863 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1864 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1865 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1868 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1870 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1871 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1872 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1874 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1875 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1877 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1879 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1880 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1881 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1882 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1884 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1885 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1888 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1889 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1890 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1891 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1894 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1896 * Released nmh-0.27.
1898 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1899 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1901 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1902 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1903 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1904 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1907 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1908 mhbuild returns an error.
1910 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1911 rename the draft file.
1913 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1914 use a global variable.
1916 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1917 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1919 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1920 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1922 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1923 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1924 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1926 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1927 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1929 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1930 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1933 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1934 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1937 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1938 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1940 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1941 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1942 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1944 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1945 to new function output_content_folder.
1947 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1948 new function output_content_file.
1950 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1951 to new function parse_format_string.
1953 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1954 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1955 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1956 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1958 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1959 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1960 message/external file from ftp.
1962 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1963 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1964 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1966 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1967 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1970 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1973 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1974 new file mhstoresbr.c
1976 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1979 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1980 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1982 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1983 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1985 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1986 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1987 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1989 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1991 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1993 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1994 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1997 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1998 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2000 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2003 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2005 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2007 * Released nmh-0.26.
2009 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2010 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2011 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2012 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2014 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2015 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2016 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2017 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2018 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2020 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2021 But it is not on by default.
2023 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2024 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2026 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2028 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2030 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2032 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2034 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2035 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2037 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039 * Released nmh-0.25.
2041 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2042 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2043 uses the original name of the library.
2045 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2046 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2049 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2050 list_content and list_debug.
2052 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2054 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2055 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2057 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2059 * Released nmh-0.24.
2061 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2063 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2064 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2066 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2067 large sequence line.
2069 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2071 * Released nmh-0.23.
2073 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2075 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2076 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2077 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2078 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2080 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2081 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2084 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2086 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2088 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2090 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2091 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2093 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2094 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2096 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2097 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2099 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2100 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2102 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2104 * Released nmh-0.22.
2106 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2107 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2109 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2111 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2112 mh-profile(5) man page.
2114 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2115 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2117 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2119 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2121 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2122 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2124 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2126 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2127 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2128 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2130 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2131 source message on the standard input.
2133 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2135 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2136 rather than -rfc934mode.
2138 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2139 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2142 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2143 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2145 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2148 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2150 * Released nmh-0.21.
2152 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2153 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2155 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2158 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2159 to use for text contents.
2161 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2163 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2165 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2167 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2169 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2170 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2172 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2173 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2174 spaces between encoded word are.
2176 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2178 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2179 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2181 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2182 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2183 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2185 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2187 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2188 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2190 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2192 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2194 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2195 ISO-8859-X character set.
2197 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2200 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2201 permissions, not write permissions.
2203 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2204 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2206 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2209 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2211 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2213 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2214 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2216 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2217 message contains valid character set.
2219 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2220 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2222 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2223 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2225 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2226 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2227 between an encoded word and normal text.
2229 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2230 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2232 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2233 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2235 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2238 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2239 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2242 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2243 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2245 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2246 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2248 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2250 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2252 * Released nmh-0.20.
2254 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2256 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2258 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2259 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2260 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2262 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2263 and the To: line was missing.
2265 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2267 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2269 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2271 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2272 watch the POP transaction.
2274 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2275 first, and use it if available.
2277 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2278 first, and use it if available.
2280 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2282 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2284 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2285 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2286 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2289 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2290 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2291 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2293 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2294 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2297 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2299 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2300 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2302 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2304 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2305 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2307 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2308 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2309 message to which you are replying.
2311 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2312 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2313 making group replies.
2315 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2317 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2319 * Released nmh-0.19.
2321 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2322 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2324 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2325 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2326 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2327 to the end of the man page.
2329 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2330 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2331 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2332 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2333 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2334 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2336 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2339 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2340 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2341 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2343 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2344 the next available number above the message number you wish
2347 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2348 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2350 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2351 file sbr/seq_print.c
2353 * flist will now update the current folder.
2355 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2356 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2357 but now undocumented.
2359 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2362 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2363 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2365 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2367 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2368 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2370 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2372 * Released nmh-0.18.
2374 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2375 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2376 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2378 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2379 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2381 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2382 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2383 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2384 previous public/private status.
2386 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2389 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2392 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2393 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2394 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2396 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2397 take option to determine whether it should get current
2398 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2399 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2401 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2403 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2404 wait for stopped processes.
2406 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2407 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2409 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2411 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2413 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2414 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2416 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2417 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2419 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2420 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2421 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2422 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2424 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2427 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2430 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2432 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2433 the debugging output.
2435 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2436 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2438 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2440 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2442 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2443 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2445 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2447 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2448 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2449 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2450 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2451 in the given sequence.
2453 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2454 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2455 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2456 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2457 subdirectories of a given directory.
2459 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2460 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2461 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2463 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2464 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2466 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2468 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2471 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2472 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2473 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2475 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2476 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2477 are calculated at runtime.
2479 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2481 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2483 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2484 about checking for global mh.profile.
2486 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2487 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2488 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2489 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2490 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2491 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2493 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2494 adding message to folder itself.
2496 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2497 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2498 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2501 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2502 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2505 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2506 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2507 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2509 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2510 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2512 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2513 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2514 code to use it yet).
2516 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2520 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2521 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2523 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2524 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2526 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2528 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2531 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2533 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2535 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2537 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2539 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2540 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2542 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2544 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2546 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2548 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2550 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2552 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2553 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2555 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2556 configuration files.
2558 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2560 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2562 * Released nmh-0.17.
2564 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2566 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2567 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2569 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2572 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2573 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2575 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2576 number of refiled message.
2578 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2580 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2581 for return value of wait().
2583 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2585 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2587 * Released nmh-0.16.
2589 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2591 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2593 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2594 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2595 deal with binary messages, yet).
2597 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2599 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2601 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2602 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2603 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2604 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2605 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2606 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2608 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2609 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2611 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2612 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2614 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2615 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2618 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2620 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2622 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2623 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2626 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2629 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2631 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2632 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2633 which used unsigned chars by default.
2635 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2637 * Released nmh-0.15.
2639 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2642 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2644 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2646 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2649 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2650 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2651 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2653 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2654 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2656 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2658 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2659 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2661 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2662 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2663 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2664 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2666 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2667 and put in own subroutine.
2669 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2670 and put in own subroutine.
2672 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2673 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2674 refile.c to use new routine.
2676 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2678 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2680 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2683 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2684 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2685 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2687 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2690 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2691 adding message to sequence.
2693 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2694 corresponding file in sbr.
2696 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2699 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2701 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2702 all selected messages from a sequence.
2704 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2705 selected messages to a sequence.
2707 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2710 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2712 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2713 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2715 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2727 * Released nmh-0.14.
2729 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2730 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2732 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2734 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2735 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2736 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2737 environment variable.
2739 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2740 draft folder facility in nmh.

2749 * `send -help' wasn't showing the -(no)mime and -split
2752 Fri Apr 25 02:50:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2754 * Released nmh-0.13.
2756 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2757 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2758 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2759 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2762 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2763 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2765 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2767 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2768 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2770 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2772 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct
2773 has tm_gmtoff, rather than using egrep.
2775 Mon Apr 21 02:19:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * Released nmh-0.12.
2779 * Had set_exists and unset_exists macros backwards.

2783 Thu Apr 10 02:39:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2785 * Added documentation to mh-profile.man about the various
2786 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2788 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2789 mp->attrstats with macros.
2791 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2794 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2797 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2798 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2800 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2801 will suppress the display of the message header.
2803 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2805 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2806 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2808 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2810 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2812 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2814 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2815 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2817 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2818 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2820 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2822 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2824 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2825 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2827 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2828 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2830 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2832 * Released nmh-0.10.

2839 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2841 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2842 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2844 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2845 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2847 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2848 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2850 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2852 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2853 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2855 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because
2858 of missing tabs in regex.
2860 Sat Mar 8 01:58:22 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * Released nmh-0.09.
2864 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2866 * Add configure check for killpg.

2878 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2880 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2882 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2883 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2885 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2887 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2888 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2890 * Released nmh-0.08.
2892 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2893 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2894 locking database itself.
2896 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2898 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2900 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2901 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2904 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2905 rather than mmdf format.
2907 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2908 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2909 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2910 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2912 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2914 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2916 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2919 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2920 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2921 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2923 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2924 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2925 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2927 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2929 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2930 can still easily change this in config.h).
2932 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2933 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2934 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2936 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2938 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2939 than tzset and external timezone variable.
2941 Thu Feb 13 00:35:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2943 * Fixed typo in ruserpass.c in the variable toktabs.
2945 * When ruserpass was added to LIBOBJS, it was missing
2948 * Released nmh-0.07.
2950 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2952 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2953 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2955 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2956 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2959 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2960 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2962 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2963 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2965 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2967 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2969 * Added configure check for tzset.

2973 * Released nmh-0.06.
2975 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2976 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2978 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2979 many such machines around anymore.
2981 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2982 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2984 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2985 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2987 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2989 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2990 pre-generated version if necessary.
2992 * Released nmh-0.05.
2994 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2995 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2996 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2997 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2999 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3000 be linked in one pass.
3002 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3004 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3005 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3007 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3009 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3011 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3013 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3014 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3015 become the current folder.
3017 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3019 * Released nmh-0.04.
3021 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3024 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3027 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3028 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3030 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3032 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3033 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3035 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3037 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3038 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3041 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3042 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3044 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3046 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3047 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3048 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3049 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3050 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3051 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3053 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3055 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3056 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3058 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3059 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3061 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3063 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3064 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3066 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3068 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3069 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3070 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3072 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3074 * Released nmh-0.03.
3076 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3077 .mh_sequence file existed.
3079 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3080 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3082 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3083 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3086 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3088 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3091 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3093 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3094 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3095 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3097 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3099 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3100 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3101 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3103 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3105 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3106 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3108 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3110 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3112 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3113 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3114 directory from where the source code is located.
3116 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3118 * Released nmh-0.02.
3120 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

3125 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3127 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3128 and sys_nerr directly.
3130 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3132 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3134 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3136 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3138 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3139 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3140 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3141 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3142 rather than in script.
3144 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3146 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3148 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3149 macro defined on Solaris.
3151 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3153 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3154 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3156 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3157 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3158 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3159 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3162 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3164 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3165 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3167 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3170 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3172 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3174 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3175 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3177 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3179 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3180 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3182 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3184 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3185 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3186 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3187 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3188 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3189 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3191 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3193 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3195 * Released nmh-0.01.
3197 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3198 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3199 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3202 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3204 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3207 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3209 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3210 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3212 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3214 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3215 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3216 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3217 script to find_program.
3219 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3221 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3222 speed up -recurse option.
3224 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3225 yet, but it compiles :-)
3227 * Changed default location for install to
3228 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3229 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3230 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3233 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3234 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3235 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
