3 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
5 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
7 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
8 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
10 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
11 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
12 certain suffix to run properly.
14 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
15 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
16 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
18 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
19 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
20 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
21 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
22 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
23 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
24 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
26 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
28 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
30 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
31 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
33 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
34 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
37 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
39 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
40 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
41 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
42 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
43 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
44 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
46 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
48 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
50 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
51 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
52 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
54 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
55 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
56 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
57 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
58 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
59 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
62 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
63 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
64 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
65 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
66 of masquerading individually.
68 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
69 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
70 GECOS field delimiters.
72 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
74 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
75 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
76 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
77 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
78 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
79 and explaining the feature.
81 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
83 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
84 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
87 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
88 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
89 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
91 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
92 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
93 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
94 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
96 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
97 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
98 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
101 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
103 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
106 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
108 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
110 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
111 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
112 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
113 quotes embedded in them.
115 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
117 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
118 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
119 the -help output. I guess the idea was to make reference to the
120 fact that clearly you know about the -help option since you're
121 currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea to
122 overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
123 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
124 allowed to specify. It doesn't make sense to show that you're
125 allowed to "abbreviate" the switch to its entire length.
127 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
129 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
131 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
132 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
133 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
134 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
136 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
139 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
141 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
143 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
145 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
146 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
147 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
149 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
152 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
154 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. It passed an
155 octal constant to atoi(), which interpreted it as decimal,
156 resulting in directories with no user read or execute permissions,
157 making nested directory creation fail. Also, when creating a
158 nested directory, correct permissions were only set on the inner one.
160 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
161 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
163 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
165 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
168 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
170 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
171 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
172 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
175 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
176 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
177 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
178 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
179 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
180 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
181 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
182 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
183 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
184 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
185 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
186 processing that post has).
188 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
190 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
191 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
192 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
193 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
194 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
195 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
198 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
200 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
202 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
204 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
206 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
207 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
209 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
212 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
214 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
215 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
216 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
219 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
221 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
222 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
223 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
224 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
225 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
226 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
228 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
230 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
232 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
234 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
235 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
236 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
237 caught again. This works for now.
239 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
241 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
243 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
244 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
246 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
248 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
249 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
251 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
253 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
255 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
257 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
258 changes. Both need more cleanup.
260 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
262 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
263 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
264 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
265 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
266 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
269 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
271 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
272 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
273 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
275 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
276 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
279 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
281 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
282 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
283 to a directory on another device with more free space.
285 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
287 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
288 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
290 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
292 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
295 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
296 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
298 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
299 macros, regardless of platform.
301 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
302 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
304 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
305 with x-conversions=gzip.
307 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
309 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
312 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
313 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
314 implicit definition of ioctl().
316 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
317 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
318 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
319 want to mess with them.
321 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
323 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
324 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
326 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
327 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
329 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
330 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
331 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
333 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
334 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
335 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
337 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
340 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
343 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
344 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
347 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
348 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
351 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
352 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
356 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
358 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
359 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
360 preventing compilation on at least linux.
362 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
363 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
365 Thu Sep 9 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
367 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
369 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
370 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
371 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
372 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
374 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
375 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
377 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
379 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
381 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
383 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
384 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
386 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
388 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
389 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
391 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
392 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
393 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
394 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
396 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
397 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
399 Sat Jun 9 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
401 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
402 substitute it for mktemp if available.
404 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
406 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
407 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
410 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
412 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
414 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
416 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
417 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
419 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
420 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
421 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
423 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
424 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
425 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
427 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
428 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
429 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
431 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
432 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
435 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
436 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
438 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
439 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
441 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
444 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
445 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
446 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
448 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
449 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
451 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
452 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
453 <elleron@servtech.com>.
455 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
456 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
459 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
460 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
462 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
463 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
464 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
465 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
467 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
468 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
470 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
474 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
475 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
476 would not be changed.
478 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
479 one from the Apache web server.
481 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
482 (this should have been done a long time ago).
484 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
485 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
486 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
488 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
490 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
492 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
493 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
496 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
497 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
498 removes a bad race condition.
500 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
503 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
504 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
505 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
507 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
508 sequence information.
510 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
511 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
513 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
516 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
519 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
521 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
522 interpret 034 as octal.
524 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
526 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
527 mhstore, and mhbuild.
529 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
530 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
532 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
533 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
535 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
536 in the c_cefile structure when building.
538 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
539 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
541 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
542 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
543 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
545 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
546 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
547 and mhshow. Updated man pages
549 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
551 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
553 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
554 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
557 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
559 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
560 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
562 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
563 header field information.
565 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
566 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
568 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
569 values when parsing a content.
571 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
572 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
574 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
575 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
577 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
578 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
580 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
581 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
583 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
585 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
587 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
589 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
591 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
592 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
595 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
596 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
598 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
599 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
600 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
601 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
602 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
603 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
606 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
608 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
609 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
610 buffer length checks for this parameter.
612 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
613 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
615 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
617 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
618 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
619 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
620 of the limits on the length of command lines.
622 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
623 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
626 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
627 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
628 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
629 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
632 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
636 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
637 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
639 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
640 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
641 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
642 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
645 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
646 mhbuild returns an error.
648 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
649 rename the draft file.
651 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
652 use a global variable.
654 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
655 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
657 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
658 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
660 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
661 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
662 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
664 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
665 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
667 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
668 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
671 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
672 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
675 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
676 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
678 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
679 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
680 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
682 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
683 to new function output_content_folder.
685 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
686 new function output_content_file.
688 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
689 to new function parse_format_string.
691 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
692 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
693 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
694 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
696 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
697 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
698 message/external file from ftp.
700 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
701 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
702 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
704 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
705 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
708 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
711 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
712 new file mhstoresbr.c
714 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
717 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
718 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
720 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
721 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
723 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
724 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
725 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
727 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
729 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
731 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
732 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
735 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
736 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
738 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
741 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
743 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
747 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
748 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
749 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
750 is still the same (dashstuffing).
752 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
753 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
754 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
755 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
756 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
758 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
759 But it is not on by default.
761 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
762 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
764 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
766 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
768 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
770 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
772 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
773 number of the "cur" message when packing.
775 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
779 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
780 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
781 uses the original name of the library.
783 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
784 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
787 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
788 list_content and list_debug.
790 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
792 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
793 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
795 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
799 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
801 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
802 are given, that order doesn't matter.
804 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
807 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
811 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
813 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
814 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
815 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
816 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
818 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
819 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
822 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
824 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
826 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
828 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
829 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
831 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
832 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
834 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
835 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
837 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
838 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
840 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
844 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
845 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
847 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
849 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
850 mh-profile(5) man page.
852 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
853 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
855 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
857 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
859 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
860 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
862 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
864 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
865 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
866 entry point for parsing MIME files.
868 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
869 source message on the standard input.
871 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
873 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
874 rather than -rfc934mode.
876 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
877 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
880 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
881 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
883 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
886 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
890 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
891 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
893 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
896 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
897 to use for text contents.
899 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
901 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
903 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
905 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
907 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
908 header fields as per RFC-2047.
910 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
911 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
912 spaces between encoded word are.
914 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
916 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
917 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
919 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
920 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
921 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
923 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
925 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
926 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
928 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
930 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
932 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
933 ISO-8859-X character set.
935 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
938 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
939 permissions, not write permissions.
941 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
942 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
944 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
947 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
949 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
951 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
952 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
954 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
955 message contains valid character set.
957 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
958 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
960 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
961 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
963 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
964 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
965 between an encoded word and normal text.
967 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
968 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
970 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
971 as a RFC-2047 header field.
973 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
976 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
977 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
980 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
981 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
983 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
984 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
986 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
988 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
992 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
994 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
996 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
997 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
998 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1000 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1001 and the To: line was missing.
1003 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1005 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1007 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1009 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1010 watch the POP transaction.
1012 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1013 first, and use it if available.
1015 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1016 first, and use it if available.
1018 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1020 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1022 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1023 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1024 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1027 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1028 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1029 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1031 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1032 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1035 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1037 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1038 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1040 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1042 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1043 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1045 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1046 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1047 message to which you are replying.
1049 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1050 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1051 making group replies.
1053 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1055 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1057 * Released nmh-0.19.
1059 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1060 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1062 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1063 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1064 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1065 to the end of the man page.
1067 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1068 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1069 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1070 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1071 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1072 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1074 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1077 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1078 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1079 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1081 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1082 the next available number above the message number you wish
1085 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1086 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1088 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1089 file sbr/seq_print.c
1091 * flist will now update the current folder.
1093 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1094 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1095 but now undocumented.
1097 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1100 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1101 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1103 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1105 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1106 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1108 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1110 * Released nmh-0.18.
1112 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1113 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1114 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1116 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1117 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1119 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1120 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1121 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1122 previous public/private status.
1124 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1127 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1130 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1131 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1132 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1134 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1135 take option to determine whether it should get current
1136 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1137 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1139 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1141 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1142 wait for stopped processes.
1144 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1145 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1147 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1149 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1151 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1152 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1154 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1155 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1157 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1158 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1159 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1160 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1162 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1165 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1168 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1170 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1171 the debugging output.
1173 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1174 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1176 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1178 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1180 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1181 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1183 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1185 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1186 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1187 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1188 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1189 in the given sequence.
1191 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1192 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1193 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1194 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1195 subdirectories of a given directory.
1197 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1198 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1199 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1201 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1202 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1204 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1206 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1209 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1210 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1211 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1213 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1214 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1215 are calculated at runtime.
1217 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1219 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1221 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1222 about checking for global mh.profile.
1224 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1225 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1226 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1227 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1228 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1229 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1231 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1232 adding message to folder itself.
1234 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1235 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1236 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1239 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1240 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1243 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1244 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1245 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1247 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1248 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1250 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1251 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1252 code to use it yet).
1254 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1256 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1258 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1259 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.

1302 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1304 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1305 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".

1310 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1311 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.

1329 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1331 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1332 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1333 deal with binary messages, yet).
1335 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1337 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1339 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1340 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1341 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1342 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1343 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate

1346 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1347 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

1367 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1369 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to

1382 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1384 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters

1388 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1389 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1391 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1392 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1394 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1396 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since

1399 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1400 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1401 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1402 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1404 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1405 and put in own subroutine.
1407 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1408 and put in own subroutine.

1411 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1412 refile.c to use new routine.

1416 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1418 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use

1422 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1423 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1425 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1428 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before

1443 selected messages to a sequence.
1445 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
1448 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1450 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
1451 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
1453 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1455 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

1492 * Released nmh-0.13.
1494 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
1495 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
1496 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
1497 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
1500 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
1501 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
1503 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1505 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
1506 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
1508 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1510 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

1535 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
1536 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
1538 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
1539 will suppress the display of the message header.
1541 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1543 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
1544 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
1546 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
1548 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
1550 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
1552 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
1553 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
1555 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
1556 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
1558 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
1560 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1562 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1563 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1565 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
1566 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
1568 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1570 * Released nmh-0.10.

1580 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
1582 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
1583 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
1585 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

1590 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
1591 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
1593 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1595 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

1625 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
1626 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
1628 * Released nmh-0.08.
1630 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1631 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
1632 locking database itself.

1636 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
1638 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
1639 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
1642 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1643 rather than mmdf format.
1645 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1646 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1647 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
1648 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
1650 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
1652 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1654 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
1657 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1658 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
1659 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
1661 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
1662 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

1665 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1667 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
1668 can still easily change this in config.h).
1670 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
1671 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
1672 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
1674 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1676 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

1691 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
1693 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
1694 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
1697 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
1698 built-in FTP client in mhn.

1711 * Released nmh-0.06.
1713 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
1714 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
1716 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
1717 many such machines around anymore.
1719 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
1720 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
1722 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
1723 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
1725 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1728 pre-generated version if necessary.
1730 * Released nmh-0.05.
1732 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
1733 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
1734 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
1735 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
1737 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
1738 be linked in one pass.
1740 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1742 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
1743 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
1745 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1747 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
1749 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1751 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
1752 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
1753 become the current folder.
1755 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1757 * Released nmh-0.04.

1764 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
1765 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
1766 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
1768 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1770 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
1771 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
1773 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1775 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
1776 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
1779 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
1780 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
1782 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1784 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
1785 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
1786 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
1787 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
1788 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
1789 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
1791 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1793 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
1794 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
1796 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
1797 a file (currently need to specify full path).
1799 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1801 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
1802 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
1804 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1806 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
1807 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
1808 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
1810 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1812 * Released nmh-0.03.
1814 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
1815 .mh_sequence file existed.
1817 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
1818 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
1820 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
1821 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
1824 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1826 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
1829 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1831 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
1832 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
1833 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
1835 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1837 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
1838 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
1839 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
1841 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1843 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
1844 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
1846 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
1848 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1850 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
1851 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
1852 directory from where the source code is located.
1854 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1856 * Released nmh-0.02.
1858 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

1870 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
1872 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
1874 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1876 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
1877 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
1878 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
1879 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
1880 rather than in script.
1882 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1884 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
1886 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
1887 macro defined on Solaris.
1889 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1891 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
1892 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
1894 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
1895 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
1896 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
1897 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
1900 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1902 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
1903 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
1905 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
1908 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1910 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
1912 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
1913 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
1915 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1917 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
1918 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
1920 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1922 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
1923 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
1924 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
1925 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
1926 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
1927 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
1929 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1931 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
1933 * Released nmh-0.01.
1935 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
1936 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
1937 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
1940 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1942 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
1945 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1947 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
1948 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
1950 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1952 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
1953 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
1954 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
1955 script to find_program.
1957 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1959 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
1960 speed up -recurse option.
1962 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
1963 yet, but it compiles :-)
1965 * Changed default location for install to
1966 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
1967 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
1968 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
1971 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
1972 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
1973 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
