1 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
3 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
4 the context is only read once.
6 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
8 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
9 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
11 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
13 o Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
14 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
16 o Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
17 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
20 o Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
21 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
24 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
26 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
27 vi isn't found during build.
29 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
31 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
32 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
34 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
35 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
36 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
38 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
40 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
41 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
43 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
44 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
45 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
46 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
49 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
50 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
51 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
53 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
54 entry in the context file.
56 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
58 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
59 problems on some systems
61 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
62 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
64 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
66 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
67 sendmail isn't found during build.
69 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
71 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
73 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
75 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
76 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
78 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
79 references to the web page and mailing list locations
81 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
82 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
84 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
87 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
89 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
90 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
91 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
93 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
94 was configured with --enable-apop.
96 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
97 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
98 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
100 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
101 new versions of flex.
103 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
104 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
105 doesn't guess wrongly.
107 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
109 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
110 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
112 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
113 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
115 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
116 files with numbers as names
118 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
120 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
122 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
124 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
126 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
127 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
129 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
131 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
134 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
135 test/report error writing to stdout
137 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
139 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
141 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
142 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
143 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
145 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
146 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
147 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
149 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
151 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
152 character set used by the current locale
154 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
155 message's filename overflows an int when converted
157 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
158 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
160 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
162 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
165 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
167 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
168 from Michael Richardson.
170 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
171 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
173 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
175 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
176 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
178 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
180 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
181 find sub-parts of the specified part
183 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
185 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
186 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
187 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
188 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
189 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
190 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
191 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
194 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
196 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
197 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
198 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
201 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
202 refiling with -src option.
204 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
206 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
208 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
210 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
211 mailpath being overwritten.
213 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
215 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
216 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
217 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
218 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
219 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
220 reinitializes the tmp file string.
222 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
223 if a format string was read from the profile.
225 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
226 path for the external hook.
228 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
230 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
231 another location for ndbm.
233 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
235 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
237 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
239 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
242 136976 - Handle binary content messages
243 143427 - mh-format.man typo
244 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
245 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
246 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
247 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
248 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
249 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
250 181867 - typo for nmh.man
252 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
254 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
255 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
256 contitional code which will result in cached data to
257 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
258 and parse on the first use.
259 * Remove some unused flag bits.
261 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
263 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
264 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
266 #578 - repl leaks umask
267 #1393 - sortm core dumps
268 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
269 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
270 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
272 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
273 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
275 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
277 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
278 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
280 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
282 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
283 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
284 to docs/README.about.
286 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
288 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
290 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
291 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
292 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
293 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
296 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
298 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
299 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
300 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
301 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
302 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
303 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
306 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
307 summary configure prints out.
309 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
310 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
311 subjectively more readable) format.
313 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
315 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
318 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
320 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
321 19xx when it's not necessary.
323 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
325 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
326 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
329 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
330 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
331 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
332 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
333 the man pages correctly.
335 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
337 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
339 * Finished manpages ali-prev
341 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
342 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
343 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
346 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
347 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
348 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
349 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
351 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
353 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
354 the formatting rules I've been using.
358 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
360 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
361 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
362 used in the manpages.
364 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
365 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
366 read in the contents of the file as the variable
369 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
370 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
371 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
372 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
373 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
374 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
375 bold flags and italicized parameters.
377 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
379 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
380 --with-locking option.
382 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
383 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
384 information was not being communicated to the
385 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
386 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
387 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
388 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
389 undefined symbols problems.
391 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
392 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
393 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
394 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
395 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
396 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
397 for a genuine krb4 installation.
399 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
401 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
402 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
404 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
406 * Made a new ./configure option called
407 "--with-locking" that allows the file
408 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
409 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
411 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
412 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
413 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
414 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
415 the user that these are the valid options, and
416 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
419 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
421 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
422 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
423 committed to supporting flex only, since
424 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
425 string, as well as other problems documented
426 below and on nmh-workers.
428 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
429 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
430 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
433 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
434 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
436 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
438 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
439 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
440 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
442 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
444 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
445 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
447 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
449 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
450 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
451 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
452 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
453 couldn't correctly identify them.
455 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
457 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
458 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
459 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
460 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
461 not depending on an external archive.
463 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
464 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
465 mts/generic is no longer built.
467 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
469 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
470 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
471 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
472 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
473 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
474 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
475 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
476 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
478 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
480 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
481 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
484 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
486 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
487 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
488 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
491 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
492 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
493 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
494 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
496 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
497 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
498 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
499 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
500 merged into the smtp code).
502 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
503 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
504 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
507 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
508 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
509 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
510 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
511 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
512 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
513 in the appropriate Makefile.in
515 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
517 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
518 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
519 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
520 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
521 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
522 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
523 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
524 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
525 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
526 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
527 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
529 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
531 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
532 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
533 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
534 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
535 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
536 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
537 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
538 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
539 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
541 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
543 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
544 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
547 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
549 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
550 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
552 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
554 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
555 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
556 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
557 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
559 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
561 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
562 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
563 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
564 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
565 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
567 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
568 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
570 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
572 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
574 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
575 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
576 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
577 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
579 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
580 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
581 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
582 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
584 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
585 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
586 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
587 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
589 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
590 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
591 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
593 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
595 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
596 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
597 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
598 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
599 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
600 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
603 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
604 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
606 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
607 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
609 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
611 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
613 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
615 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
616 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
617 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
618 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
620 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
622 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
623 be easily changed from "," to "#".
625 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
627 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
629 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
630 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
633 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
635 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
636 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
637 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
638 but not for the subsequent data stream.
640 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
642 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
643 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
644 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
645 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
646 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
648 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
650 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
651 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
653 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
654 cat, also define lorder as echo.
656 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
658 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
660 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
661 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
662 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
664 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
666 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
669 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
670 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
672 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
674 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
675 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
677 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
679 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
680 inc does not need to be setgid.
682 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
684 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
685 library, as found on Debian systems.
687 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
689 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
691 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
692 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
693 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
694 case-insensitivity flag.
696 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
698 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
699 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
701 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
703 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
704 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
705 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
706 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
707 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
708 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
709 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
710 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
711 getting moved aside).
713 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
714 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
716 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
718 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
719 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
720 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
721 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
722 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
723 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
724 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
725 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
726 the prototype, but never sets it.
728 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
729 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
730 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
731 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
732 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
733 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
735 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
736 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
737 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
738 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
739 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
741 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
743 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
744 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
747 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
748 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
749 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
750 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
751 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
752 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
753 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
755 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
757 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
759 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
760 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
761 this works on other systems.
763 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
765 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
766 checks for write failures.
768 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
770 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
772 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
775 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
777 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
779 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
781 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
782 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
785 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
787 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
788 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
789 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
790 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
792 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
794 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
795 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
798 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
799 as well as Makefiles.
801 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
803 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
804 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
805 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
806 should make maintainability easier.
808 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
809 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
810 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
811 whatever you know works.
813 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
815 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
816 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
817 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
819 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
820 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
821 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
822 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
824 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
825 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
826 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
828 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
829 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
830 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
831 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
832 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
834 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
835 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
836 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
837 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
838 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
839 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
840 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
841 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
842 from the BSD version.
844 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
845 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
846 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
848 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
851 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
854 This happens on solaris:
857 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
858 No manual entry for mts.conf.
862 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
864 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
865 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
867 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
869 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
870 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
871 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
872 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
873 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
874 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
875 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
876 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
877 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
878 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
879 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
881 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
882 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
883 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
884 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
885 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
886 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
889 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
890 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
891 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
892 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
893 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
895 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
896 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
898 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
900 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
901 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
902 to stdin, such as exmh.
904 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
905 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
906 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
909 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
911 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
912 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
913 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
914 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
915 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
916 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
917 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
919 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
921 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
922 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
924 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
926 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
927 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
929 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
931 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
934 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
935 along with any -host or -user option.
937 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
939 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
941 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
942 process was fresh in my mind.
944 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
946 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
947 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
949 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
951 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
953 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
956 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
957 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
958 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
959 part of the program's name.
961 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
962 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
965 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
967 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
968 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
969 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
970 single-character format would cause programs using this
971 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
972 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
973 when the format string was one character. This eventually
974 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
977 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
979 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
980 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
981 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
982 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
983 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
984 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
986 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
987 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
988 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
989 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
990 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
991 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
992 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
993 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
995 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
996 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
997 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
998 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
999 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1000 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1001 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1002 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1003 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1004 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1006 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1008 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1009 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1011 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1012 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1014 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1019 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1021 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1022 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1023 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1024 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1026 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1027 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1028 problem in the routine.
1030 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1032 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1033 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1035 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1036 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1037 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1040 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1042 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1043 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1044 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1045 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1046 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1047 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1048 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1049 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1050 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1051 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1053 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1055 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1056 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1057 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1058 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1059 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1060 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1061 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1062 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1063 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1064 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1065 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1066 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1068 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1069 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1070 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1071 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1072 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1074 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1077 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1079 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1080 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1081 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1082 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1085 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1087 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1089 * Applied, after some finessing,
1090 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1092 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1094 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1096 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1097 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1098 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1099 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1101 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1103 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1104 forgetting to do so!).
1106 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1107 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1108 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1109 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1110 arguments to enable all three types.
1112 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1113 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1115 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1116 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1117 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1118 updated copy of mts.conf.
1120 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1122 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1123 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1124 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1126 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1128 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1130 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1131 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1132 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1134 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1135 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1136 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1138 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1139 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1140 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1142 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1144 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1146 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1148 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1150 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1151 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1153 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1154 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1155 certain suffix to run properly.
1157 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1158 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1159 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1161 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1162 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1163 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1164 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1165 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1166 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1167 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1169 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1171 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1172 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1173 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1174 until some year far in the future).
1176 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1178 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1180 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1181 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1183 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1184 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1187 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1189 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1190 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1191 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1192 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1193 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1194 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1196 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1198 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1200 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1201 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1202 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1204 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1205 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1206 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1207 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1208 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1209 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1212 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1213 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1214 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1215 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1216 of masquerading individually.
1218 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1219 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1220 GECOS field delimiters.
1222 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1224 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1225 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1226 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1227 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1228 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1229 and explaining the feature.
1231 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1233 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1234 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1237 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1238 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1239 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1241 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1242 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1243 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1244 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1246 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1247 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1248 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1251 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1253 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1254 code to be executed.
1256 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1258 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1260 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1261 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1262 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1263 quotes embedded in them.
1265 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1267 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1268 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1269 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1270 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1271 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1272 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1273 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1276 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1277 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1278 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1279 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1280 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1282 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1284 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1286 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1287 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1288 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1289 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1291 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1294 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1296 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1298 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1300 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1301 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1302 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1304 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1307 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1309 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1310 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1311 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1312 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1313 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1314 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1316 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1317 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1319 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1321 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1324 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1326 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1327 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1328 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1331 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1332 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1333 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1334 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1335 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1336 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1337 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1338 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1339 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1340 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1341 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1342 processing that post has).
1344 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1346 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1347 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1348 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1349 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1350 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1351 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1354 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1356 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1358 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1360 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1362 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1363 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1365 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1368 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1370 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1371 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1372 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1375 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1377 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1378 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1379 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1380 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1381 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1382 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1384 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1386 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1388 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1390 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1391 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1392 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1393 caught again. This works for now.
1395 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1397 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1399 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1400 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1402 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1404 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1405 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1407 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1409 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1411 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1413 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1414 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1416 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1418 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1419 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1420 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1421 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1422 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1425 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1427 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1428 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1429 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1431 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1432 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1435 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1437 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1438 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1439 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1441 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1443 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1444 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1446 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1448 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1451 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1452 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1454 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1455 macros, regardless of platform.
1457 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1458 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1460 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1461 with x-conversions=gzip.
1463 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1465 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1468 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1469 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1470 implicit definition of ioctl().
1472 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1473 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1474 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1475 want to mess with them.
1477 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1479 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1480 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1482 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1483 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1485 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1486 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1487 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1489 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1490 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1491 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1493 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1494 function initgroups.
1496 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1499 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1500 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1503 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1504 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1507 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1508 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1512 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1514 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1515 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1516 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1518 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1519 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1521 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1523 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1525 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1526 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1527 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1528 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1530 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1531 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1533 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1535 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1537 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1539 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1540 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1542 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1544 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1545 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1547 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1548 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1549 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1550 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1552 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1553 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1555 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1557 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1558 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1560 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1562 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1563 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1566 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1568 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1570 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1572 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1573 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1575 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1576 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1577 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1579 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1580 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1581 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1583 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1584 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1585 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1587 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1588 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1591 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1592 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1594 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1595 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1597 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1598 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1600 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1601 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1602 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1604 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1605 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1607 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1608 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1609 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1611 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1612 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1615 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1616 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1618 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1619 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1620 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1621 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1623 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1624 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1626 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1630 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1631 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1632 would not be changed.
1634 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1635 one from the Apache web server.
1637 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1638 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1640 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1641 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1642 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1644 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1646 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1648 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1649 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1652 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1653 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1654 removes a bad race condition.
1656 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1659 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1660 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1661 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1663 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1664 sequence information.
1666 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1667 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1669 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1672 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1675 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1677 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1678 interpret 034 as octal.
1680 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1682 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1683 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1685 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1686 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1688 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1689 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1691 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1692 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1694 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1695 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1697 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1698 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1699 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1701 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1702 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1703 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1705 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1707 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1709 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1710 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1713 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1715 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1716 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1718 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1719 header field information.
1721 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1722 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1724 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1725 values when parsing a content.
1727 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1728 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1730 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1731 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1733 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1734 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1736 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1737 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1739 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1741 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1743 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1745 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1747 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1748 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1751 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1752 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1754 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1755 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1756 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1757 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1758 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1759 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1762 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1764 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1765 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1766 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1768 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1769 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1771 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1773 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1774 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1775 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1776 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1778 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1779 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1782 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1783 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1784 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1785 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1788 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1790 * Released nmh-0.27.
1792 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1793 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1795 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1796 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1797 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1798 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1801 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1802 mhbuild returns an error.
1804 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1805 rename the draft file.
1807 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1808 use a global variable.
1810 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1811 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1813 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1814 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1816 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1817 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1818 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1820 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1821 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1823 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1824 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1827 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1828 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1831 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1832 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1834 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1835 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1836 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1838 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1839 to new function output_content_folder.
1841 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1842 new function output_content_file.
1844 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1845 to new function parse_format_string.
1847 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1848 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1849 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1850 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1852 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1853 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1854 message/external file from ftp.
1856 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1857 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1858 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1860 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1861 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1864 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1867 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1868 new file mhstoresbr.c
1870 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1873 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1874 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1876 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1877 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1879 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1880 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1881 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1883 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1885 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1887 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1888 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1891 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1892 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1894 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1897 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1899 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1901 * Released nmh-0.26.
1903 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1904 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1905 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1906 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1908 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1909 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1910 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1911 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1912 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1914 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1915 But it is not on by default.
1917 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1918 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1920 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1922 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1924 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1926 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1928 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1929 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1931 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1933 * Released nmh-0.25.
1935 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1936 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1937 uses the original name of the library.
1939 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1940 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1943 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1944 list_content and list_debug.
1946 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1948 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1949 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1951 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1953 * Released nmh-0.24.
1955 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1957 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1958 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1960 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1961 large sequence line.
1963 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1965 * Released nmh-0.23.
1967 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1969 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1970 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1971 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1972 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1974 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1975 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1978 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1980 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1982 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1984 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1985 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1987 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1988 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1990 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1991 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1993 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1994 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1996 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1998 * Released nmh-0.22.
2000 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2001 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2003 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2005 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2006 mh-profile(5) man page.
2008 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2009 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2011 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2013 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2015 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2016 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2018 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2020 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2021 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2022 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2024 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2025 source message on the standard input.
2027 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2029 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2030 rather than -rfc934mode.
2032 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2033 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2036 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2037 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2039 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2042 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2044 * Released nmh-0.21.
2046 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2047 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2049 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2052 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2053 to use for text contents.
2055 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2057 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2059 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2061 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2063 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2064 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2066 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2067 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2068 spaces between encoded word are.
2070 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2072 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2073 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2075 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2076 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2077 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2079 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2081 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2082 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2084 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2086 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2088 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2089 ISO-8859-X character set.
2091 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2094 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2095 permissions, not write permissions.
2097 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2098 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2100 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2103 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2105 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2107 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2108 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2110 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2111 message contains valid character set.
2113 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2114 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2116 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2117 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2119 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2120 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2121 between an encoded word and normal text.
2123 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2124 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2126 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2127 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2129 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2132 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2133 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2136 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2137 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2139 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2140 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2142 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2144 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2146 * Released nmh-0.20.
2148 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2150 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2152 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2153 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2154 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2156 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2157 and the To: line was missing.
2159 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2161 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2163 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2165 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2166 watch the POP transaction.
2168 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2169 first, and use it if available.
2171 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2172 first, and use it if available.
2174 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2176 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2178 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2179 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2180 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2183 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2184 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2185 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2187 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2188 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2191 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2193 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2194 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2196 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2198 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2199 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2201 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2202 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2203 message to which you are replying.
2205 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2206 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2207 making group replies.
2209 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2211 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2213 * Released nmh-0.19.
2215 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2216 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2218 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2219 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2220 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2221 to the end of the man page.
2223 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2224 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2225 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2226 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2227 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2228 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2230 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2233 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2234 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2235 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2237 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2238 the next available number above the message number you wish
2241 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2242 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2244 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2245 file sbr/seq_print.c
2247 * flist will now update the current folder.
2249 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2250 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2251 but now undocumented.
2253 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2256 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2257 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2259 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2261 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2262 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2264 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2266 * Released nmh-0.18.
2268 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2269 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2270 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2272 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2273 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2275 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2276 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2277 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2278 previous public/private status.
2280 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2283 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2286 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2287 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2288 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2290 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2291 take option to determine whether it should get current
2292 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2293 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2295 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2297 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2298 wait for stopped processes.
2300 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2301 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2303 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2305 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2307 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2308 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2310 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2311 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2313 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2314 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2315 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2316 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2318 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2321 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2324 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2326 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2327 the debugging output.
2329 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2330 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2332 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2334 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2336 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2337 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2339 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2341 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2342 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2343 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2344 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2345 in the given sequence.
2347 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2348 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2349 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2350 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2351 subdirectories of a given directory.
2353 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2354 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2355 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2357 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2358 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2360 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2362 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2365 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2366 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2367 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2369 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2370 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2371 are calculated at runtime.
2373 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2375 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2377 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2378 about checking for global mh.profile.
2380 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2381 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2382 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2383 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2384 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2385 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2387 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2388 adding message to folder itself.
2390 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2391 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2392 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2395 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2396 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2399 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2400 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2401 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2403 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2404 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2406 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2407 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2408 code to use it yet).
2410 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2412 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2414 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2415 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2417 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2418 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2420 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2422 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2425 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2427 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2429 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2431 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2433 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2434 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

2438 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2440 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2442 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2444 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2446 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2447 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2449 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2450 configuration files.
2452 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2454 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2458 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2460 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2461 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2463 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2466 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2467 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2469 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2470 number of refiled message.
2472 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2474 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2475 for return value of wait().
2477 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2479 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2481 * Released nmh-0.16.
2483 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2485 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2487 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2488 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2489 deal with binary messages, yet).
2491 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2493 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2495 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2496 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2497 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2498 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2499 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2500 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2502 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2503 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2505 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2506 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2508 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2509 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2512 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2514 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2516 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2517 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2520 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2523 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2525 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2526 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2527 which used unsigned chars by default.
2529 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2531 * Released nmh-0.15.
2533 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2538 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2540 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2543 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2544 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2545 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2547 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2548 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2550 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2552 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2553 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2555 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2556 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2557 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2558 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2560 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2561 and put in own subroutine.
2563 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2564 and put in own subroutine.
2566 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2567 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2568 refile.c to use new routine.
2570 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2572 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2574 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2577 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2578 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2579 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2581 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2584 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2585 adding message to sequence.
2587 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2588 corresponding file in sbr.
2590 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2593 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2595 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2596 all selected messages from a sequence.
2598 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2599 selected messages to a sequence.
2601 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2604 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2606 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2607 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2609 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2611 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2612 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.

2628 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2629 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2630 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2631 environment variable.
2633 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2634 draft folder facility in nmh.
2636 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2639 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2648 * Released nmh-0.13.
2650 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2651 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2652 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2653 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2656 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2657 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2659 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2661 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2662 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2664 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2666 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2680 `procs' (mhlproc, showproc, lproc, etc...).
2682 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2683 mp->attrstats with macros.
2685 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2688 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2691 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2692 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2694 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2695 will suppress the display of the message header.
2697 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2699 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2700 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2702 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2704 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2706 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2708 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2709 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2711 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2712 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.

2716 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2718 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2719 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2721 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2722 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2724 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2726 * Released nmh-0.10.

2733 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2735 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2736 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2738 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2739 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2741 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2746 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2747 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2749 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2756 * Released nmh-0.09.
2758 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2760 * Add configure check for killpg.

2774 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2776 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2777 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2779 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2781 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2782 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2784 * Released nmh-0.08.
2786 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2787 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2788 locking database itself.
2790 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2792 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2794 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2795 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2798 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2799 rather than mmdf format.
2801 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2802 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2803 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2804 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2806 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2808 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2810 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2813 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2814 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2815 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2817 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2818 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2819 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2821 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2823 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2824 can still easily change this in config.h).
2826 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2827 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2828 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2830 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2832 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2833 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2842 * Released nmh-0.07.
2844 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2846 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2847 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2849 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2850 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2853 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2854 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2856 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2857 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2859 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2861 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2863 * Added configure check for tzset.
2865 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2867 * Released nmh-0.06.
2869 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2870 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2872 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2873 many such machines around anymore.
2875 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2876 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2878 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2879 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2881 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2883 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2884 pre-generated version if necessary.
2886 * Released nmh-0.05.
2888 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2889 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2890 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2891 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2893 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2894 be linked in one pass.
2896 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2898 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2899 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2901 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2903 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2905 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2907 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2908 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2909 become the current folder.
2911 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2913 * Released nmh-0.04.
2915 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2918 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2920 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2921 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2922 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2924 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2926 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2927 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2929 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2931 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2932 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2935 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2936 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2938 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2940 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2941 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2942 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2943 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2944 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2945 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2947 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2949 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2950 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2952 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2953 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2955 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2958 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2960 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2962 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2963 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2964 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2966 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2968 * Released nmh-0.03.
2970 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2971 .mh_sequence file existed.
2973 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2974 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2976 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2977 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2980 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2982 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2985 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2987 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2988 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2989 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2991 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2993 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2994 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2995 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2997 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2999 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3000 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3002 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3004 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3006 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3007 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3008 directory from where the source code is located.
3010 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3012 * Released nmh-0.02.
3014 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3016 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
3019 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3021 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3022 and sys_nerr directly.
3024 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3026 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
3028 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
3030 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3032 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3033 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3034 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3035 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3036 rather than in script.
3038 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3040 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3042 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3043 macro defined on Solaris.
3045 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3047 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3048 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3050 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3051 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3052 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3053 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3056 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3058 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3059 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3061 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3064 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3066 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3068 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3069 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3071 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3073 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3074 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3076 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3078 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3079 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3080 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3081 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3082 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3083 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3085 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3087 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3089 * Released nmh-0.01.
3091 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3092 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3093 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3096 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3098 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3101 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3103 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3104 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3106 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3108 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3109 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3110 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3111 script to find_program.
3113 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3115 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3116 speed up -recurse option.
3118 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3119 yet, but it compiles :-)
3121 * Changed default location for install to
3122 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3123 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3124 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3127 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3128 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3129 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
