1 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
3 * bug #18630, #18631, #18632, #18634: various patches from
4 Craig Leres fixing error message argument problems.
6 2007-03-12 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
8 * bug #15212: configure.in, acconfig.h: remove configure test for
9 broken AT&T vi. This test was broken (it was always returning
10 failure even for non-broken vi implementations) and
11 unfixable. Nobody should be using AT&T vi any more so I have
12 simply moved it back to being a setting you can put manually into
13 acconfig.h if you must.
15 2006-10-24 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
17 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, add
18 name= portion to Content-Type header. This makes them
19 consistent with attachformat value 0. And it allows mhstore
20 to use that (file)name when extracting attachments.
22 2006-08-26 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
24 * configure.in: If we're not using dotlocking, there is no need to set
27 2006-03-30 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
29 * uip/sendsbr.c: with attachformat values of 1 or 2, only
30 generate Content-Disposition headers for MIME attachments, not
31 for the message contents themselves. Microsoft Outlook Build
32 10.0.6626, at least, doesn't show the message contents if they
33 have Content-Disposition.
35 2006-03-09 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
37 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c (decode_rfc2047): Don't close the iconv descriptor
40 2006-03-08 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
42 * (mh_strcasecmp): Rename the private strcasecmp function to
43 mh_strcasecmp. This keeps the newer gnu linker happy.
45 2006-03-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
47 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c: don't try to malloc 0 bytes if an RFC2047
48 encoded block is empty
50 2006-03-04 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
52 * etc/Makefile.in: use INSTALL_SCRIPT to install scripts;
53 this allows INSTALL_PROGRAM to be set to 'install -s' so
54 binaries are stripped on installation. Apparently the BSDs
57 2006-02-25 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
59 * uip/sendsbr.c: replaced st_mtim with st_mtime, that's what
60 it should have been. Added #include of h/tws.h to pick up
63 2006-02-20 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
65 * h/mh.h, h/prototypes.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/send.c,
66 uip/sendsbr.c, uip/viamail.c, uip/whatnowsbr.c, man/send.man:
67 added -attachformat switch to send, to support alternate MIME
68 header contents when using -attach. See send man page for
71 * man/mhbuild.man: wrapped one appearance of "Content-Disposition"
72 with quotes, to be consistent with others.
74 2006-02-20 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
76 * h/utils.h, sbr/utils.c, uip/flist.c, uip/folder.c: Move duplicate
77 function num_digits into utils.c
79 2006-02-19 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
81 * sbr/m_draft.c, sbr/utils.c, uip/folder.c, uip/inc.c,
82 uip/mhstoresbr.c, uip/popi.c, uip/refile.c: Add create_folder()
83 function, replacing duplicate code during folder creation.
85 2006-02-18 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
87 * h/mime.h, h/mhparse.h, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, uip/mhfree.c,
88 man/mhbuild.man, docs/TODO: added support for an optional
89 Content-Disposition header in mhbuild (only). Its contents
90 are supplied between {}, positioned after the optional [], in
91 a mhbuild directive. If the contents do not contain a
92 "filename=" parameter, and the directive has a filename, or
93 something else that ends with "name=", then that will be used
94 to add a "filename=" parameter to the header.
96 2006-02-12 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
98 * docs/TODO: added RFC2183 to reference of RFC1806 for
99 Content-Disposition header.
101 2006-01-31 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
103 * uip/mhbuild.c, uip/mhbuildsbr.c, man/mhbuild.man: added
104 -nocontentid switch, to disable generation of Content-ID:
105 header in MIME messages. (Also added -contentid for
106 symmetry.) The default configuration of Microsoft Outlook,
107 Build 10.0.3416 in particular, doesn't see attachments in
108 incoming messages if there are Content-ID headers, see
109 http://home.cwru.edu/~wrv/eudoraoutlookfix.html. This allows
110 users to easily accomodate that by adding
111 mhbuild: -nocontentid to their .mh_profile.
113 2006-01-29 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
115 * bug 4360: uip/replsbr.c: remove trailing newlines from components
116 to fix bug with spaces at the end of Subject/References in replies
118 2006-01-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
120 * configure.in: use AS_HELP_STRING for formatting help messages
122 * configure.in, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add autoconf magic to support
123 old systems that don't support multibyte character sets
125 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: fix bug with insertion of newline being wrong if
126 the num function was used at the end of the format buffer
128 2006-01-17 David Levine <levinedl@acm.org>
130 * uip/post.c, uip/spost.c: in make_bcc_file (), use same
131 logic as in finish_headers () to detect whether there is an
132 existing From: line in the draft. If draft_from masquerade
133 flag is enabled, this allows the From: to be obeyed in the
134 Bcc, instead of the old behavior of always replacing it with
137 2006-01-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
139 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: more robust multi-byte/column support for field
140 widths, restoring right justification feature
142 2006-01-16 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
144 * h/aliasbr.h, h/rcvmail.h, man/Makefile.in, man/slocal.man,
145 sbr/lock_file.c, uip/aliasbr.c, uip/dropsbr.c, uip/post.c,
146 uip/slocal.c, man/mh-mts.man: remove remnants of code for MMDF
148 * uip/scansbr.c: multiply buffer size by MB_CUR_MAX so multi-byte
151 2006-01-14 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
153 * sbr/fmt_scan.c: Turn the PUTSF macro into a function capable of
154 handling multi column characters.
156 2006-01-07 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
158 * Remove sbr/strerror.c -- strerror(3) is defined in C89.
160 2006-01-06 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
162 * patch #3968: Move the add() function from its own file (add.c) and
163 into utils.c. There was also a duplicate add() function in mf.c which
166 2006-01-02 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
168 * Remove sbr/pwd.c file, moving the pwd() function into sbr/utils.c.
170 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
172 * patch #3967: Create a mh_xrealloc function to prevent mistakes when
175 2006-01-01 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
177 * patch #3966: Create a mh_xmalloc function to prevent mistakes when
180 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
182 * Bug #15285: Don't use $< in target rules in makefiles, as POSIX
183 says it's only defined in inference rules. (BSD make was expanding
184 $< to the empty string in the rule for building sbr/dtimep.c, which
185 causes lex to apparently hang because it's reading from stdin.)
187 2005-12-24 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
189 * Completely redo db library checking -- we now check for working
190 (include file, library) pairs rather than checking for headers and
191 libraries separately. We also now provide --with-ndbm=lib and
192 --with-ndbmheader=header options to configure to handle situations
193 where configure's autodetection fails.
195 2005-12-21 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
197 * Fix stupid accidental dependence on a bash quirk in previous
198 configure script change.
200 2005-12-15 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
202 * Improve checking for Berkeley db libraries: configure should now
203 find a suitable library on systems with new gdbm where
204 compatibility functions are in the gdbm_compat library, and on
207 2005-12-13 Michael Forrest <mef@computer.org>
209 * Fedora Bug #163760: sbr/context_read.c (context_read): Ensure that
210 the context is only read once.
212 2005-12-12 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
214 * uip/sendsbr.c (annoaux): Fix the call to annotate() fixing a bug
215 which prevented repl from properly annotating messages.
217 2005-12-07 Jon Steinhart <nmh@fourwinds.com>
219 * Fixed a bug where anno -append put the headers in the wrong place
220 if applied to a message that didn't contain any headers.
222 * Added a special value of "all" to the -number option that causes
223 anno -delete to delete all matching components instead of just
226 * Added new -preserve and -nopreserve options. Using -preserve
227 retains the original last accessed and last modified times on
230 2005-12-05 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
232 * Fedora Bug #174983: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
233 vi isn't found during build.
235 2005-11-19 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
237 * bug #14977: sbr/context_read.c: special case an MHCONTEXT of
238 "/dev/null" and don't try to lock it.
240 * bug #9228, debian bug #146449: man/mh-profile.man: make it clearer
241 that lower case environment variables (and in particular mheditor)
242 are internal to nmh and not intended to be set by the user.
244 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
246 * sbr/mf.c: fix buffer overrun with absurdly long addresses
247 (only causes crashes if scan is run with '-width 16536' or similar)
249 * bug #7917: sbr/context_foil.c, sbr/context_read.c,
250 sbr/context_save.c: mark 'no context' with NULL rather than
251 "/dev/null" so we don't inadvertently try to lock /dev/null (which
252 takes up to a minute in some locking configurations and makes post
255 * patch #3913: uip/post.c: pass some globals into sm_init() so that
256 it uses SASL if necessary. (This bug was preventing Bcc'd emails
257 from being sent via SASL authenticated SMTP.)
259 * bug #9813: uip/rmf.c: don't crash if there's no Current-Folder
260 entry in the context file.
262 2005-11-13 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
264 * bug #7833: uip/Makefile.in: remove link to install-mh that caused
265 problems on some systems
267 * bug #739: Makefile.in: install target now depends on all to avoid
268 problem on case-insensitive file systems with the INSTALL file
270 2005-11-10 Josh Bressers <josh@bress.net>
272 * Fedora Bug #172838: configure.in: Fix the AC_PATH_PROG default when
273 sendmail isn't found during build.
275 2005-11-09 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
277 * h/aliasbr.h: fix a non-ANSI prototype.
279 2005-11-08 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
281 * Simon Burge: acconfig.h, configure.in, uip/rcvtty.c, uip/slocal.c:
282 fix to handle getutent() on NetBSD
284 * INSTALL, README, docs/README.about, man/nmh.man: update most
285 references to the web page and mailing list locations
287 * bug #10230: etc/Makefile.in, man/Makefile.in, uip/Makefile.in:
288 Michael De La Rue: prepend DESTDIR to install locations
290 * configure.in, */Makefile.in, mts/smtp/smtp.c: replace obsolete
293 2005-11-06 Peter Maydell <pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
295 * sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c, h/prototypes.h: fix various
296 possible overruns of the buffers in fmt_scan() which would cause
297 crashes if scan was run with '-width 16536' or similar.
299 * uip/popsbr.c: fix compile error which only showed up if nmh
300 was configured with --enable-apop.
302 * Debian Bug# 245932, RedHat Bug# 172388: uip/mhparse.c: don't
303 crash when handling a multipart MIME message with an invalid
304 Content-Type header (file handle was being fclose()d twice).
306 * sbr/Makefile.in: adjust lex command to work on both old and
307 new versions of flex.
309 * configure.in: add an AC_PREREQ() so autoconf 2.13 gives a helpful
310 error message and the Debian autoconf-version-guessing wrapper
311 doesn't guess wrongly.
313 2005-11-02 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
315 * Debian Bug# 320069: Nick Rusnov: uip/popsbr.c: fail when
316 kpop connection attempted without KPOP support compiled in
318 * Debian Bug# 320090: Nick Rusnov: sbr/Makefile.in: fix for newer
319 version of flex and remove autogenerated file from cvs
321 * patch #1155: uip/flist.c: speed up flist by skipping stat on
322 files with numbers as names
324 * docs/Makefile.in: include new files in distribution
326 2005-10-11 Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>
328 * docs/FAQ: fold questions into MH FAQ and distribute that instead
330 2005-10-05 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
332 * Harald Geyer: h/mh.h, uip/replsbr.c: back out previous change
333 (fork/vfork) and replace with code that handles the issue directly
335 2005-05-18 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
337 * Debian Bug# 143485: Nick Rusnov: h/mh.h: use fork instead of
340 * Debian Bug# 261592: Harald Geyer: uip/mhlsbr.c, uip/replsbr.c:
341 test/report error writing to stdout
343 * mts/smtp/smtp.c, uip/popsbr.c: correct SASL include file locations
345 * docs/COMPLETION-BASH: bash completion definitions from Debian
347 * patch #2863: savannah@brisammon.fastmail.fm: sbr/folder_read.c:
348 fix a bug affecting AFS where nmh was setting the READONLY flag
349 for a folder even when you do have write access to the folder
351 * Carl Mummert: h/fmt_compile.h, man/mh-format.man,
352 sbr/fmt_compile.c, sbr/fmt_scan.c: add unquote() function for
353 removing quotes from RFC-2822 encoded headers
355 2005-02-23 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
357 * use iconv to convert RFC-2047 encoded headers to the
358 character set used by the current locale
360 * sbr/folder_read.c fix Debian bug #202667: crash when a
361 message's filename overflows an int when converted
363 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
364 versions (from automake 1.9.5)
366 2005-02-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
368 * sbr/getpass.c fix bug where inc crashed on failing to reopen
371 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
373 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk. Based on old patch
374 from Michael Richardson.
376 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
377 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
379 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
381 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
382 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
384 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
386 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
387 find sub-parts of the specified part
389 2004-11-19 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
391 * h/prototypes.h, sbr/folder_addmsg.c, uip/mhstoresbr.c,
392 uip/rcvstore.c, uip/refile.c: Added mail directory argument to
393 folder_addmsg in order to make it possible to provide a path to
394 the ext_hook call that is mailpath-based. A problem existed when
395 a folder was a symbolic link and the pwd call would return the
396 path relative to the filesystem, not to mailpath. A new argument
397 was needed because there was otherwise no reasonable way to get
400 2004-11-16 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
402 * sbr/folder_pack.c: Fixed problem where the refile hook was being
403 called after a message was renamed so that it wasn't around for
404 the hook. The hook is now called before the message file is
407 * sbr/folder_addmsg.c: Fixed wrong directory for hook when
408 refiling with -src option.
410 2004-10-15 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
412 * uip/sortm.c: Fixed calling of external hooks.
414 2004-10-12 Jon Steinhart <jon@fourwinds.com>
416 * uip/inc.c: Fixed another weird bug caused by the static
417 mailpath being overwritten.
419 * uip/sendsbr.c: Fixed bug that caused anno to mangle headers.
421 * sbr/lock_file.c: Fixed strange bug that prevented a lock from
422 ever being obtained if getting it failed the first time. The
423 problem was that the string of XXXXXX that is required by
424 mkstemp() was overwritten the first time through, and so all
425 subsequent times failed because mkstemp() failed. The fix
426 reinitializes the tmp file string.
428 * uip/inc.c: Fixed bug in which the static maildir was overwritted
429 if a format string was read from the profile.
431 * sbr/folder_delmsgs.c: Fixed bug that was producing an incorrect
432 path for the external hook.
434 2003-10-06 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
436 * uip/slocal.c, configure.in: db configuration fix for Debian; yet
437 another location for ndbm.
439 2003-09-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
441 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
443 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
445 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
448 136976 - Handle binary content messages
449 143427 - mh-format.man typo
450 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
451 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
452 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
453 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
454 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
455 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
456 181867 - typo for nmh.man
458 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
460 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
461 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
462 contitional code which will result in cached data to
463 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
464 and parse on the first use.
465 * Remove some unused flag bits.
467 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
469 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
470 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
472 #578 - repl leaks umask
473 #1393 - sortm core dumps
474 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
475 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
476 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
478 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
479 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
481 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
483 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
484 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
486 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
488 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
489 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
490 to docs/README.about.
492 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
494 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
496 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
497 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
498 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
499 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
502 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
504 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
505 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
506 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
507 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
508 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
509 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
512 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
513 summary configure prints out.
515 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
516 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
517 subjectively more readable) format.
519 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
521 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
524 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
526 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
527 19xx when it's not necessary.
529 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
531 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
532 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
535 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
536 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
537 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
538 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
539 the man pages correctly.
541 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
543 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
545 * Finished manpages ali-prev
547 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
548 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
549 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
552 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
553 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
554 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
555 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
557 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
559 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
560 the formatting rules I've been using.
564 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
566 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
567 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
568 used in the manpages.
570 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
571 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
572 read in the contents of the file as the variable
575 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
576 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
577 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
578 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
579 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
580 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
581 bold flags and italicized parameters.
583 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
585 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
586 --with-locking option.
588 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
589 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
590 information was not being communicated to the
591 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
592 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
593 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
594 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
595 undefined symbols problems.
597 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
598 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
599 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
600 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
601 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
602 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
603 for a genuine krb4 installation.
605 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
607 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
608 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
610 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
612 * Made a new ./configure option called
613 "--with-locking" that allows the file
614 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
615 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
617 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
618 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
619 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
620 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
621 the user that these are the valid options, and
622 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
625 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
627 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
628 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
629 committed to supporting flex only, since
630 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
631 string, as well as other problems documented
632 below and on nmh-workers.
634 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
635 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
636 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
639 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
640 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
642 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
644 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
645 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
646 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
648 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
650 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
651 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
653 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
655 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
656 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
657 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
658 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
659 couldn't correctly identify them.
661 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
663 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
664 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
665 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
666 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
667 not depending on an external archive.
669 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
670 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
671 mts/generic is no longer built.
673 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
675 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
676 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
677 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
678 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
679 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
680 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
681 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
682 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
684 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
686 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
687 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
690 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
692 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
693 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
694 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
697 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
698 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
699 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
700 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
702 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
703 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
704 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
705 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
706 merged into the smtp code).
708 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
709 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
710 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
713 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
714 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
715 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
716 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
717 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
718 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
719 in the appropriate Makefile.in
721 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
723 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
724 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
725 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
726 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
727 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
728 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
729 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
730 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
731 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
732 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
733 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
735 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
737 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
738 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
739 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
740 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
741 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
742 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
743 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
744 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
745 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
747 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
749 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
750 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
753 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
755 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
756 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
758 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
760 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
761 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
762 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
763 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
765 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
767 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
768 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
769 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
770 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
771 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
773 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
774 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
776 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
778 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
780 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
781 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
782 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
783 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
785 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
786 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
787 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
788 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
790 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
791 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
792 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
793 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
795 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
796 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
797 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
799 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
801 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
802 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
803 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
804 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
805 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
806 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
809 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
810 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
812 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
813 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
815 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
817 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
819 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
821 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
822 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
823 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
824 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
826 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
828 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
829 be easily changed from "," to "#".
831 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
833 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
835 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
836 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
839 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
841 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
842 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
843 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
844 but not for the subsequent data stream.
846 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
848 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
849 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
850 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
851 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
852 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
854 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
856 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
857 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
859 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
860 cat, also define lorder as echo.
862 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
864 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
866 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
867 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
868 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
870 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
872 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
875 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
876 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
878 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
880 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
881 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
883 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
885 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
886 inc does not need to be setgid.
888 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
890 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
891 library, as found on Debian systems.
893 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
895 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
897 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
898 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
899 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
900 case-insensitivity flag.
902 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
904 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
905 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
907 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
909 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
910 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
911 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
912 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
913 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
914 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
915 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
916 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
917 getting moved aside).
919 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
920 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
922 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
924 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
925 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
926 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
927 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
928 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
929 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
930 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
931 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
932 the prototype, but never sets it.
934 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
935 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
936 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
937 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
938 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
939 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
941 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
942 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
943 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
944 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
945 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
947 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
949 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
950 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
953 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
954 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
955 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
956 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
957 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
958 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
959 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
961 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
963 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
965 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
966 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
967 this works on other systems.
969 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
971 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
972 checks for write failures.
974 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
976 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
978 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
981 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
983 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
985 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
987 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
988 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
991 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
993 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
994 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
995 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
996 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
998 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1000 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
1001 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
1004 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
1005 as well as Makefiles.
1007 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1009 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
1010 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
1011 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
1012 should make maintainability easier.
1014 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
1015 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
1016 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
1017 whatever you know works.
1019 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1021 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
1022 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
1023 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
1025 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
1026 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
1027 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
1028 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
1030 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
1031 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
1032 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
1034 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
1035 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
1036 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
1037 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
1038 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
1040 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
1041 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
1042 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
1043 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
1044 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
1045 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
1046 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
1047 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
1048 from the BSD version.
1050 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
1051 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
1052 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
1054 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
1055 in ruserpass.c also.
1057 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
1060 This happens on solaris:
1063 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
1064 No manual entry for mts.conf.
1068 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
1070 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
1071 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
1073 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1075 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
1076 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
1077 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
1078 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
1079 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
1080 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
1081 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
1082 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
1083 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
1084 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
1085 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
1087 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
1088 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
1089 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
1090 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
1091 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
1092 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
1095 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
1096 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
1097 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
1098 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
1099 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
1101 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
1102 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
1104 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1106 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
1107 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
1108 to stdin, such as exmh.
1110 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
1111 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
1112 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
1115 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1117 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
1118 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
1119 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
1120 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
1121 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
1122 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
1123 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
1125 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1127 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
1128 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
1130 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1132 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
1133 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
1135 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
1137 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
1140 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
1141 along with any -host or -user option.
1143 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1145 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
1147 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
1148 process was fresh in my mind.
1150 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1152 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
1153 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
1155 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
1157 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1159 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
1162 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
1163 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
1164 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
1165 part of the program's name.
1167 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
1168 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
1171 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1173 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
1174 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
1175 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
1176 single-character format would cause programs using this
1177 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
1178 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
1179 when the format string was one character. This eventually
1180 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
1183 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1185 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
1186 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
1187 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
1188 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
1189 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
1190 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
1192 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
1193 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
1194 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
1195 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
1196 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
1197 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
1198 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
1199 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
1201 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
1202 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
1203 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
1204 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
1205 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
1206 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
1207 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
1208 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
1209 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
1210 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
1212 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1214 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
1215 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
1217 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
1218 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
1220 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
1225 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
1227 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
1228 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
1229 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
1230 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
1232 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
1233 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
1234 problem in the routine.
1236 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1238 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
1239 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
1241 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
1242 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
1243 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
1246 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1248 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
1249 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
1250 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
1251 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
1252 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
1253 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
1254 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
1255 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
1256 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
1257 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
1259 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1261 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
1262 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
1263 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
1264 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
1265 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
1266 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
1267 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
1268 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
1269 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
1270 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
1271 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
1272 interesting than a duplication of the default.
1274 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
1275 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
1276 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
1277 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
1278 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
1280 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
1283 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
1285 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
1286 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
1287 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
1288 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
1291 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
1293 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1295 * Applied, after some finessing,
1296 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
1298 Here's a patch that allows you to add
1300 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
1302 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
1303 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
1304 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
1305 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
1307 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
1309 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
1310 forgetting to do so!).
1312 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
1313 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
1314 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
1315 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
1316 arguments to enable all three types.
1318 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
1319 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
1321 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
1322 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
1323 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
1324 updated copy of mts.conf.
1326 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
1328 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
1329 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
1330 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
1332 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
1334 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
1336 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
1337 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
1338 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
1340 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
1341 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
1342 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
1344 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
1345 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
1346 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
1348 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
1350 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1352 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
1354 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
1356 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
1357 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
1359 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
1360 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
1361 certain suffix to run properly.
1363 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
1364 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
1365 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
1367 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
1368 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
1369 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
1370 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
1371 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
1372 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
1373 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
1375 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
1377 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
1378 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
1379 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
1380 until some year far in the future).
1382 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1384 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
1386 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
1387 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
1389 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
1390 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
1393 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1395 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
1396 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
1397 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
1398 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
1399 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
1400 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
1402 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1404 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
1406 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
1407 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
1408 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
1410 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
1411 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
1412 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
1413 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
1414 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
1415 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
1418 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
1419 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
1420 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
1421 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1422 of masquerading individually.
1424 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1425 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1426 GECOS field delimiters.
1428 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1430 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1431 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1432 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1433 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1434 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1435 and explaining the feature.
1437 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1439 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1440 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1443 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1444 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1445 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1447 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1448 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1449 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1450 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1452 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1453 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1454 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1457 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1459 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1460 code to be executed.
1462 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1464 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1466 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1467 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1468 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1469 quotes embedded in them.
1471 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1473 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1474 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1475 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1476 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1477 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1478 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1479 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1482 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1483 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1484 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1485 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1486 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1488 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1490 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1492 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1493 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1494 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1495 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1497 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1500 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1502 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1504 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1506 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1507 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1508 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1510 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1513 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1515 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1516 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1517 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1518 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1519 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1520 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1522 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1523 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1525 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1527 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1530 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1532 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1533 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1534 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1537 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1538 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1539 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1540 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1541 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1542 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1543 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1544 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1545 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1546 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1547 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1548 processing that post has).
1550 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1552 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1553 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1554 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1555 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1556 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1557 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1560 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1562 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1564 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1566 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1568 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1569 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1571 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1574 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1576 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1577 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1578 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1581 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1583 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1584 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1585 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1586 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1587 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1588 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1590 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1592 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1594 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1596 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1597 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1598 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1599 caught again. This works for now.
1601 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1603 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1605 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1606 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1608 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1610 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1611 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1613 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1615 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1617 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1619 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1620 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1622 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1624 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1625 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1626 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1627 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1628 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1631 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1633 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1634 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1635 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1637 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1638 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1641 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1643 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1644 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1645 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1647 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1649 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1650 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1652 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1654 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1657 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1658 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1660 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1661 macros, regardless of platform.
1663 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1664 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1666 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1667 with x-conversions=gzip.
1669 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1671 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1674 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1675 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1676 implicit definition of ioctl().
1678 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1679 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1680 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1681 want to mess with them.
1683 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1685 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1686 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1688 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1689 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1691 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1692 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1693 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1695 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1696 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1697 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1699 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1700 function initgroups.
1702 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1705 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1706 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1709 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1710 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1713 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1714 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1718 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1720 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1721 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1722 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1724 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1725 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1727 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1729 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1731 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1732 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1733 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1734 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1736 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1737 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1739 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1741 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1743 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1745 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1746 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1748 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1750 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1751 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1753 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1754 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1755 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1756 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1758 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1759 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1761 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1763 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1764 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1766 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1768 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1769 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1772 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1774 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1776 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1778 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1779 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1781 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1782 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1783 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1785 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1786 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1787 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1789 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1790 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1791 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1793 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1794 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1797 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1798 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1800 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1801 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1803 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1804 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1806 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1807 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1808 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1810 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1811 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1813 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1814 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1815 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1817 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1818 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1821 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1822 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1824 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1825 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1826 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1827 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1829 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1830 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1832 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1836 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1837 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1838 would not be changed.
1840 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1841 one from the Apache web server.
1843 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1844 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1846 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1847 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1848 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1850 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1852 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1854 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1855 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1858 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1859 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1860 removes a bad race condition.
1862 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1865 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1866 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1867 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1869 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1870 sequence information.
1872 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1873 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1875 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1878 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1881 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1883 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1884 interpret 034 as octal.
1886 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1888 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1889 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1891 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1892 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1894 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1895 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1897 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1898 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1900 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1901 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1903 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1904 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1905 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1907 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1908 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1909 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1911 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1913 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1915 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1916 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1919 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1921 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1922 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1924 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1925 header field information.
1927 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1928 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1930 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1931 values when parsing a content.
1933 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1934 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1936 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1937 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1939 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1940 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1942 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1943 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1945 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1947 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1949 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1951 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1953 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1954 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1957 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1958 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1960 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1961 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1962 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1963 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1964 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1965 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1968 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1970 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1971 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1972 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1974 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1975 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1977 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1979 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1980 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1981 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1982 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1984 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1985 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1988 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1989 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1990 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1991 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1994 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1996 * Released nmh-0.27.
1998 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1999 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
2001 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
2002 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
2003 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
2004 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
2007 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
2008 mhbuild returns an error.
2010 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
2011 rename the draft file.
2013 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
2014 use a global variable.
2016 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
2017 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
2019 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
2020 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
2022 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
2023 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
2024 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
2026 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
2027 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
2029 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
2030 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
2033 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
2034 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
2037 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
2038 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
2040 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
2041 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
2042 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
2044 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
2045 to new function output_content_folder.
2047 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
2048 new function output_content_file.
2050 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
2051 to new function parse_format_string.
2053 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
2054 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
2055 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
2056 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
2058 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
2059 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
2060 message/external file from ftp.
2062 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
2063 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
2064 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
2066 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
2067 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
2070 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
2073 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
2074 new file mhstoresbr.c
2076 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
2079 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
2080 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
2082 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
2083 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
2085 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
2086 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
2087 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
2089 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
2091 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
2093 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
2094 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
2097 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
2098 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
2100 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
2103 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
2105 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2107 * Released nmh-0.26.
2109 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
2110 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
2111 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
2112 is still the same (dashstuffing).
2114 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
2115 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
2116 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
2117 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
2118 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
2120 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
2121 But it is not on by default.
2123 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
2124 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
2126 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
2128 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
2130 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
2132 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
2134 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
2135 number of the "cur" message when packing.
2137 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2139 * Released nmh-0.25.
2141 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
2142 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
2143 uses the original name of the library.
2145 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
2146 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
2149 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
2150 list_content and list_debug.
2152 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
2154 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
2155 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
2157 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2159 * Released nmh-0.24.
2161 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
2163 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
2164 are given, that order doesn't matter.
2166 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
2167 large sequence line.
2169 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2171 * Released nmh-0.23.
2173 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
2175 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
2176 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
2177 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
2178 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
2180 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
2181 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
2184 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
2186 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
2188 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
2190 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
2191 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
2193 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
2194 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
2196 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
2197 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2199 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
2200 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
2202 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2204 * Released nmh-0.22.
2206 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
2207 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
2209 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
2211 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
2212 mh-profile(5) man page.
2214 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
2215 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
2217 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2219 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
2221 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
2222 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
2224 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
2226 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
2227 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
2228 entry point for parsing MIME files.
2230 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
2231 source message on the standard input.
2233 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
2235 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
2236 rather than -rfc934mode.
2238 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
2239 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
2242 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
2243 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
2245 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
2248 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2250 * Released nmh-0.21.
2252 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
2253 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
2255 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
2258 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
2259 to use for text contents.
2261 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
2263 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
2267 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
2269 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
2270 header fields as per RFC-2047.
2272 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
2273 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
2274 spaces between encoded word are.
2276 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
2278 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
2279 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
2281 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
2282 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
2283 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
2285 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
2287 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
2288 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
2290 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
2292 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
2294 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
2295 ISO-8859-X character set.
2297 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
2300 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
2301 permissions, not write permissions.
2303 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
2304 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
2306 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
2309 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2311 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
2313 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
2314 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
2316 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
2317 message contains valid character set.
2319 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
2320 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
2322 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
2323 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
2325 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
2326 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
2327 between an encoded word and normal text.
2329 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
2330 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
2332 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
2333 as a RFC-2047 header field.
2335 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
2338 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
2339 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
2342 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
2343 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
2345 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
2346 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
2348 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
2350 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2352 * Released nmh-0.20.
2354 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
2356 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
2358 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
2359 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
2360 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
2362 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
2363 and the To: line was missing.
2365 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
2367 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2369 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
2371 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
2372 watch the POP transaction.
2374 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
2375 first, and use it if available.
2377 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
2378 first, and use it if available.
2380 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2382 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
2384 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
2385 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
2386 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
2389 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
2390 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
2391 returns the state FLDPLUS.
2393 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
2394 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
2397 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
2399 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
2400 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
2402 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
2404 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
2405 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
2407 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
2408 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
2409 message to which you are replying.
2411 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
2412 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
2413 making group replies.
2415 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
2417 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2419 * Released nmh-0.19.
2421 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2422 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2424 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2425 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2426 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2427 to the end of the man page.
2429 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2430 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2431 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2432 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2433 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2434 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2436 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2439 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2440 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2441 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2443 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2444 the next available number above the message number you wish
2447 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2448 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2450 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2451 file sbr/seq_print.c
2453 * flist will now update the current folder.
2455 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2456 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2457 but now undocumented.
2459 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2462 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2463 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2465 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2467 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2468 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2470 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2472 * Released nmh-0.18.
2474 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2475 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2476 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2478 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2479 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2481 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2482 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2483 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2484 previous public/private status.
2486 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2489 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2492 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2493 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2494 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2496 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2497 take option to determine whether it should get current
2498 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2499 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2501 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2503 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2504 wait for stopped processes.
2506 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2507 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2509 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2511 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2513 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2514 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2516 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2517 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2519 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2520 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2521 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2522 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2524 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2527 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2530 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2532 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2533 the debugging output.
2535 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2536 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2538 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2540 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2542 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2543 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2545 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2547 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2548 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2549 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2550 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2551 in the given sequence.
2553 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2554 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2555 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2556 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2557 subdirectories of a given directory.
2559 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2560 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2561 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2563 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2564 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2566 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2568 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2571 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2572 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2573 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2575 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2576 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2577 are calculated at runtime.
2579 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2581 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2583 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2584 about checking for global mh.profile.
2586 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2587 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2588 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2589 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2590 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2591 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2593 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2594 adding message to folder itself.
2596 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2597 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2598 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2601 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2602 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2605 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2606 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2607 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2609 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2610 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2612 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2613 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2614 code to use it yet).
2616 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2620 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2621 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2623 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2624 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2626 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2628 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2631 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2633 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2635 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2637 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2639 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2640 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2642 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2644 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2646 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2648 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2650 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2652 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2653 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2655 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2656 configuration files.
2658 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2660 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662 * Released nmh-0.17.
2664 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2666 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2667 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2669 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2672 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2673 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2675 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2676 number of refiled message.
2678 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2680 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2681 for return value of wait().
2683 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2685 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2687 * Released nmh-0.16.
2689 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2693 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2694 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2695 deal with binary messages, yet).
2697 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2699 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2701 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2702 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2703 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2704 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2705 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2706 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2708 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2709 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2711 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2712 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2714 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2715 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2718 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2720 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2722 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2723 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2726 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2729 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2731 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2732 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2733 which used unsigned chars by default.
2735 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Released nmh-0.15.
2739 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2740 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2742 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2744 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2746 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2749 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2750 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2751 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2753 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2754 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2756 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2758 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2759 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2761 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2762 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2763 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2764 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2766 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2767 and put in own subroutine.
2769 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2770 and put in own subroutine.
2772 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2773 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2774 refile.c to use new routine.
2776 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2778 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2780 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2783 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2784 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2785 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2787 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2790 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2791 adding message to sequence.
2793 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2794 corresponding file in sbr.
2796 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2799 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2801 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2802 all selected messages from a sequence.
2804 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2805 selected messages to a sequence.
2807 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2810 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2812 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2813 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2815 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2817 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file
2818 sbr/m_gmsg.c to sbr/m_readfolder.c.
2820 Mon May 5 19:57:11 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2822 * Expanded rcvtty man page, and added small patch from

2859 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2862 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2863 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2865 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2867 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if

2901 will suppress the display of the message header.
2903 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2905 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2908 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2910 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2912 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h

2922 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2924 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2925 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2927 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2952 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2953 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2955 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2957 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2990 * Released nmh-0.08.
2992 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2993 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2994 locking database itself.

2998 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
3000 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
3001 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
3004 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
3005 rather than mmdf format.
3007 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
3008 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
3009 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
3010 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
3012 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
3014 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3016 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
3019 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3020 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3021 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
3023 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
3024 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
3025 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
3027 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3029 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
3030 can still easily change this in config.h).
3032 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
3033 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
3034 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
3036 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3038 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

3050 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3052 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
3053 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
3055 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
3056 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
3059 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
3060 built-in FTP client in mhn.
3062 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
3063 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
3065 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.

3073 * Released nmh-0.06.
3075 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
3076 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
3078 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
3079 many such machines around anymore.
3081 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
3082 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
3084 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
3085 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
3087 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3089 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
3090 pre-generated version if necessary.
3092 * Released nmh-0.05.
3094 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
3095 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
3096 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
3097 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
3099 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
3100 be linked in one pass.
3102 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3104 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
3105 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
3107 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3109 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
3111 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3113 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
3114 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
3115 become the current folder.
3117 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3119 * Released nmh-0.04.
3121 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
3124 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3126 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
3127 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
3128 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
3130 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3132 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
3133 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
3135 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3137 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
3138 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
3141 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
3142 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
3144 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3146 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
3147 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
3148 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
3149 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
3150 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
3151 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
3153 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3155 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
3156 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
3158 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
3159 a file (currently need to specify full path).
3161 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3163 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
3164 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
3166 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3168 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
3169 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
3170 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
3172 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3174 * Released nmh-0.03.
3176 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
3177 .mh_sequence file existed.
3179 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
3180 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
3182 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
3183 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
3186 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3188 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
3191 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3193 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
3194 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
3195 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
3197 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3199 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
3200 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
3201 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
3203 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3205 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
3206 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
3208 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
3210 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3212 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
3213 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
3214 directory from where the source code is located.
3216 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3218 * Released nmh-0.02.

3225 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3227 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
3228 and sys_nerr directly.

3238 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
3239 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
3240 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
3241 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
3242 rather than in script.
3244 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3246 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
3248 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
3249 macro defined on Solaris.

3253 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
3254 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
3256 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
3257 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
3258 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
3259 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
3262 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3264 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
3265 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
3267 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
3270 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3272 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
3274 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
3275 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
3277 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3279 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
3280 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
3282 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3284 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
3285 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
3286 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
3287 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
3288 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
3289 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
3291 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3293 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
3295 * Released nmh-0.01.
3297 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
3298 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
3299 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
3302 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3304 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
3307 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3309 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
3310 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
3312 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3314 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
3315 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
3316 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
3317 script to find_program.
3319 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
3321 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
3322 speed up -recurse option.
3324 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
3325 yet, but it compiles :-)
3327 * Changed default location for install to
3328 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
3329 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
3330 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
3333 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
3334 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
3335 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
