1 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
4 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
7 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
9 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
10 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
11 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
12 should make maintainability easier.
14 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
15 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
16 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
17 whatever you know works.
19 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
21 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
22 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
23 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
25 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
26 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
27 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
28 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
30 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
31 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
32 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
34 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
35 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
36 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
37 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
38 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
40 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
41 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
42 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
43 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
44 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
45 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
46 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
47 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
50 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
51 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
52 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
54 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
57 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
60 This happens on solaris:
63 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
64 No manual entry for mts.conf.
68 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
70 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
71 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
73 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
75 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
76 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
77 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
78 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
79 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
80 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
81 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
82 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
83 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
84 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
85 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
87 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
88 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
89 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
90 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
91 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
92 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
95 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
96 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
97 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
98 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
99 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
101 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
102 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
104 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
106 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
107 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
108 to stdin, such as exmh.
110 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
111 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
112 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
115 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
117 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
118 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
119 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
120 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
121 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
122 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
123 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
125 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
127 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
128 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
130 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
132 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
133 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
135 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
137 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
140 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
141 along with any -host or -user option.
143 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
145 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
147 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
148 process was fresh in my mind.
150 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
152 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
153 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
155 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
157 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
159 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
162 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
163 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
164 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
165 part of the program's name.
167 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
168 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
171 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
173 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
174 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
175 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
176 single-character format would cause programs using this
177 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
178 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
179 when the format string was one character. This eventually
180 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
183 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
185 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
186 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
187 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
188 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
189 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
190 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
192 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
193 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
194 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
195 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
196 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
197 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
198 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
199 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
201 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
202 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
203 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
204 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
205 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
206 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
207 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
208 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
209 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
210 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
212 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
214 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
215 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
217 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
218 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
220 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
225 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
227 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
228 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
229 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
230 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
232 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
233 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
234 problem in the routine.
236 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
238 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
239 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
241 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
242 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
243 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
246 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
248 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
249 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
250 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
251 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
252 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
253 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
254 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
255 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
256 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
257 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
259 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
261 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
262 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
263 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
264 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
265 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
266 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
267 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
268 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
269 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
270 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
271 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
272 interesting than a duplication of the default.
274 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
275 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
276 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
277 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
278 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
280 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
283 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
285 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
286 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
287 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
288 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
291 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
293 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
295 * Applied, after some finessing,
296 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
298 Here's a patch that allows you to add
300 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
302 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
303 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
304 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
305 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
307 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
309 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
310 forgetting to do so!).
312 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
313 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
314 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
315 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
316 arguments to enable all three types.
318 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
319 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
321 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
322 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
323 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
324 updated copy of mts.conf.
326 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
328 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
329 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
330 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
332 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
334 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
336 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
337 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
338 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
340 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
341 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
342 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
344 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
345 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
346 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
348 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
350 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
352 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
354 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
356 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
357 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
359 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
360 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
361 certain suffix to run properly.
363 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
364 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
365 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
367 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
368 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
369 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
370 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
371 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
372 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
373 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
375 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
377 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
378 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
379 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
380 until some year far in the future).
382 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
384 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
386 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
387 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
389 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
390 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
393 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
395 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
396 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
397 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
398 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
399 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
400 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
402 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
404 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
406 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
407 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
408 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
410 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
411 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
412 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
413 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
414 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
415 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
418 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
419 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
420 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
421 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
422 of masquerading individually.
424 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
425 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
426 GECOS field delimiters.
428 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
430 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
431 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
432 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
433 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
434 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
435 and explaining the feature.
437 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
439 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
440 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
443 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
444 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
445 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
447 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
448 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
449 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
450 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
452 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
453 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
454 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
457 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
459 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
462 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
464 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
466 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
467 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
468 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
469 quotes embedded in them.
471 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
473 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
474 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
475 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
476 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
477 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
478 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
479 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
482 The other theory is that because you can say something like
483 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
484 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
485 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
486 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
488 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
490 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
492 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
493 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
494 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
495 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
497 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
500 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
502 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
504 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
506 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
507 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
508 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
510 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
513 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
515 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
516 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
517 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
518 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
519 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
520 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
522 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
523 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
525 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
527 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
530 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
532 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
533 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
534 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
537 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
538 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
539 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
540 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
541 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
542 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
543 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
544 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
545 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
546 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
547 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
548 processing that post has).
550 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
552 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
553 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
554 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
555 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
556 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
557 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
560 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
562 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
564 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
566 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
568 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
569 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
571 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
574 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
576 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
577 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
578 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
581 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
583 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
584 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
585 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
586 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
587 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
588 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
590 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
592 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
594 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
596 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
597 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
598 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
599 caught again. This works for now.
601 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
603 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
605 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
606 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
608 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
610 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
611 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
613 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
615 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
617 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
619 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
620 changes. Both need more cleanup.
622 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
624 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
625 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
626 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
627 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
628 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
631 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
633 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
634 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
635 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
637 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
638 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
641 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
643 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
644 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
645 to a directory on another device with more free space.
647 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
649 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
650 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
652 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
654 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
657 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
658 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
660 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
661 macros, regardless of platform.
663 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
664 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
666 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
667 with x-conversions=gzip.
669 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
671 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
674 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
675 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
676 implicit definition of ioctl().
678 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
679 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
680 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
681 want to mess with them.
683 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
685 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
686 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
688 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
689 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
691 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
692 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
693 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
695 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
696 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
697 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
699 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
702 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
705 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
706 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
709 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
710 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
713 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
714 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
718 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
720 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
721 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
722 preventing compilation on at least linux.
724 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
725 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
727 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
729 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
731 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
732 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
733 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
734 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
736 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
737 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
739 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
741 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
743 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
745 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
746 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
748 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
750 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
751 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
753 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
754 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
755 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
756 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
758 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
759 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
761 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
763 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
764 substitute it for mktemp if available.
766 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
768 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
769 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
772 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
774 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
776 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
778 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
779 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
781 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
782 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
783 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
785 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
786 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
787 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
789 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
790 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
791 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
793 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
794 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
797 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
798 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
800 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
801 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
803 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
806 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
807 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
808 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
810 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
811 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
813 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
814 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
815 <elleron@servtech.com>.
817 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
818 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
821 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
822 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
824 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
825 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
826 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
827 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
829 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
830 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
832 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
836 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
837 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
838 would not be changed.
840 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
841 one from the Apache web server.
843 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
844 (this should have been done a long time ago).
846 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
847 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
848 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
850 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
852 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
854 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
855 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
858 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
859 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
860 removes a bad race condition.
862 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
865 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
866 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
867 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
869 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
870 sequence information.
872 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
873 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
875 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
878 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
881 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
883 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
884 interpret 034 as octal.
886 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
888 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
889 mhstore, and mhbuild.
891 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
892 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
894 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
895 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
897 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
898 in the c_cefile structure when building.
900 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
901 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
903 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
904 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
905 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
907 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
908 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
909 and mhshow. Updated man pages
911 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
913 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
915 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
916 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
919 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
921 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
922 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
924 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
925 header field information.
927 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
928 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
930 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
931 values when parsing a content.
933 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
934 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
936 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
937 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
939 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
940 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
942 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
943 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
945 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
947 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
949 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
951 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
953 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
954 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
957 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
958 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
960 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
961 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
962 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
963 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
964 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
965 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
968 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
970 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
971 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
972 buffer length checks for this parameter.
974 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
975 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
977 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
979 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
980 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
981 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
982 of the limits on the length of command lines.
984 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
985 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
988 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
989 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
990 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
991 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
994 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
998 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
999 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1001 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1002 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1003 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1004 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1007 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1008 mhbuild returns an error.
1010 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1011 rename the draft file.
1013 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1014 use a global variable.
1016 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1017 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1019 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1020 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1022 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1023 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1024 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1026 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1027 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1029 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1030 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1033 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1034 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1037 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1038 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1040 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1041 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1042 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1044 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1045 to new function output_content_folder.
1047 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1048 new function output_content_file.
1050 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1051 to new function parse_format_string.
1053 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1054 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1055 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1056 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1058 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1059 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1060 message/external file from ftp.
1062 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1063 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1064 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1066 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1067 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1070 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1073 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1074 new file mhstoresbr.c
1076 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1079 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1080 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1082 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1083 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1085 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1086 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1087 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1089 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1091 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1093 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1094 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1097 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1098 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1100 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1103 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1105 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1107 * Released nmh-0.26.
1109 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1110 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1111 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1112 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1114 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1115 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1116 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1117 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1118 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1120 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1121 But it is not on by default.
1123 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1124 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1126 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1128 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1130 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1132 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1134 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1135 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1137 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1139 * Released nmh-0.25.
1141 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1142 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1143 uses the original name of the library.
1145 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1146 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1149 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1150 list_content and list_debug.
1152 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1154 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1155 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1157 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1159 * Released nmh-0.24.
1161 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1163 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1164 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1166 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1167 large sequence line.

1173 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1175 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1176 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1177 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1178 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1180 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1181 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1184 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1186 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1188 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1190 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1191 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1193 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1194 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1196 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1197 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1199 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1200 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1202 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1204 * Released nmh-0.22.
1206 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1207 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1209 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1211 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1212 mh-profile(5) man page.
1214 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to

1217 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1219 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1221 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1222 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1224 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1226 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1227 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1228 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1230 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1231 source message on the standard input.
1233 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1235 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1236 rather than -rfc934mode.
1238 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1239 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1242 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1243 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1245 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1248 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1250 * Released nmh-0.21.
1252 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1253 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1255 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1258 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1259 to use for text contents.
1261 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1263 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1265 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1267 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1269 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1270 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1272 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1273 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1274 spaces between encoded word are.
1276 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1278 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1279 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1281 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1282 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1283 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1285 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1287 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1288 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1290 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1292 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1294 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1295 ISO-8859-X character set.
1297 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1300 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1301 permissions, not write permissions.
1303 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1304 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1306 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1309 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1311 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1313 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1314 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1316 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1317 message contains valid character set.
1319 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1320 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1322 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1323 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1325 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1326 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1327 between an encoded word and normal text.
1329 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1330 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1332 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1333 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1335 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1338 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1339 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1342 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1343 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1345 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1346 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1348 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1350 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1352 * Released nmh-0.20.
1354 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1356 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1358 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1359 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1360 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1362 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1363 and the To: line was missing.
1365 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1367 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1369 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1371 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1372 watch the POP transaction.
1374 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1375 first, and use it if available.
1377 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1378 first, and use it if available.
1380 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1382 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1384 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1385 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1386 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1389 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1390 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1391 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1393 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1394 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1397 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1399 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1400 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1402 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1404 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1405 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1407 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1408 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1409 message to which you are replying.
1411 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1412 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1413 making group replies.
1415 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1417 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1419 * Released nmh-0.19.
1421 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1422 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1424 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1425 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1426 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1427 to the end of the man page.
1429 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1430 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1431 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1432 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1433 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1434 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1436 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1439 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1440 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1441 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1443 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1444 the next available number above the message number you wish
1447 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1448 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1450 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1451 file sbr/seq_print.c
1453 * flist will now update the current folder.
1455 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1456 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1457 but now undocumented.
1459 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1462 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1463 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1465 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1467 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1468 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1470 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1472 * Released nmh-0.18.
1474 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1475 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1476 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1478 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1479 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1481 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1482 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1483 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1484 previous public/private status.
1486 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1489 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1492 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1493 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1494 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1496 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1497 take option to determine whether it should get current
1498 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1499 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1501 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1503 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1504 wait for stopped processes.
1506 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1507 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1509 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1511 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1513 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1514 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1516 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1517 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1519 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1520 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1521 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1522 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1524 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1527 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1530 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1532 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1533 the debugging output.
1535 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1536 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1538 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1540 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1542 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1543 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1545 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1547 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1548 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1549 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1550 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1551 in the given sequence.
1553 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1554 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1555 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1556 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1557 subdirectories of a given directory.
1559 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1560 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1561 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1563 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1564 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1566 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1568 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1571 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1572 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1573 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1575 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1576 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1577 are calculated at runtime.
1579 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1581 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1583 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1584 about checking for global mh.profile.
1586 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1587 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1588 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1589 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1590 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1591 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1593 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1594 adding message to folder itself.
1596 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1597 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1598 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1601 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1602 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1605 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1606 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1607 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1609 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1610 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1612 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1613 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1614 code to use it yet).
1616 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1618 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1620 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1621 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1623 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1624 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1626 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1628 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1631 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1633 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1635 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1637 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1639 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1640 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1642 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1644 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1646 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1648 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1650 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1652 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1653 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1655 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1656 configuration files.
1658 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1660 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1662 * Released nmh-0.17.
1664 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1666 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1667 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1669 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1672 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1673 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1675 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1676 number of refiled message.
1678 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1680 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1681 for return value of wait().
1683 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1685 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1687 * Released nmh-0.16.
1689 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1691 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1693 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1694 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1695 deal with binary messages, yet).
1697 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1699 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1701 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1702 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1703 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1704 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1705 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1706 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1708 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1709 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1711 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1712 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1714 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1715 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1718 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1720 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1722 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1723 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1726 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1729 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1731 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1732 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1733 which used unsigned chars by default.
1735 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1737 * Released nmh-0.15.
1739 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1740 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1742 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1744 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1746 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1749 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1750 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1751 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1753 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1754 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1756 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1758 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1759 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1761 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1762 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1763 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1764 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1766 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1767 and put in own subroutine.
1769 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1770 and put in own subroutine.
1772 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1773 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1774 refile.c to use new routine.
1776 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1778 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1780 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1783 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1784 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1785 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1787 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1790 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1791 adding message to sequence.

1922 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1924 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1925 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1927 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2004 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2005 rather than mmdf format.
2007 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2008 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2009 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with

2023 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2024 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2027 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2029 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2030 can still easily change this in config.h).
2032 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2033 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2034 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2036 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2053 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2055 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2056 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2059 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2060 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2073 * Released nmh-0.06.
2075 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2076 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2078 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2079 many such machines around anymore.
2081 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2082 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2084 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2085 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2087 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2090 pre-generated version if necessary.
2092 * Released nmh-0.05.
2094 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2095 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2096 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2097 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2099 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2100 be linked in one pass.
2102 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2104 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2105 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2107 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2109 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2111 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2113 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2114 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2115 become the current folder.
2117 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2119 * Released nmh-0.04.

2126 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2127 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2128 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2130 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2132 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2133 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2135 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2137 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2138 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2141 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2142 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2144 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2146 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2147 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2148 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2149 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2150 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2151 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2153 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2155 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2156 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2158 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2159 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2161 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2163 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2164 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2166 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2168 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2169 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2170 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2172 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2174 * Released nmh-0.03.
2176 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2177 .mh_sequence file existed.
2179 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2180 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2182 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2183 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2186 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2188 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2191 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2193 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2194 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2195 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2197 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2199 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2200 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2201 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2203 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2205 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2206 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2208 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2210 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2212 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2213 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2214 directory from where the source code is located.
2216 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2218 * Released nmh-0.02.

2238 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2239 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2240 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2241 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2242 rather than in script.
2244 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2246 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2248 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2253 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2254 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2256 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2257 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2258 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2259 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop

2270 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2272 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2274 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2279 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2280 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2282 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2284 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2285 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2286 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2287 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2288 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2289 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2291 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2293 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2295 * Released nmh-0.01.
2297 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2298 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2299 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2302 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2304 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2307 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2309 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2310 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2312 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2314 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2315 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2316 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2317 script to find_program.
2319 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2321 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2322 speed up -recurse option.
2324 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2325 yet, but it compiles :-)
2327 * Changed default location for install to
2328 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2329 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2330 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2333 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2334 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2335 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
