1 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * Finished manpages ali-prev
5 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
6 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
7 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
10 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
11 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
12 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
13 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
15 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
17 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
18 the formatting rules I've been using.
22 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
24 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
25 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
28 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
29 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
30 read in the contents of the file as the variable
33 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
34 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
35 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
36 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
37 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
38 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
39 bold flags and italicized parameters.
41 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
43 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
44 --with-locking option.
46 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
47 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
48 information was not being communicated to the
49 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
50 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
51 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
52 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
53 undefined symbols problems.
55 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
56 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
57 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
58 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
59 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
60 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
61 for a genuine krb4 installation.
63 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
65 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
66 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
68 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
70 * Made a new ./configure option called
71 "--with-locking" that allows the file
72 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
73 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
75 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
76 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
77 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
78 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
79 the user that these are the valid options, and
80 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
83 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
85 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
86 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
87 committed to supporting flex only, since
88 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
89 string, as well as other problems documented
90 below and on nmh-workers.
92 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
93 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
94 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
97 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
98 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
100 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
102 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
103 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
104 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
106 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
108 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
109 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
111 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
113 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
114 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
115 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
116 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
117 couldn't correctly identify them.
119 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
121 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
122 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
123 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
124 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
125 not depending on an external archive.
127 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
128 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
129 mts/generic is no longer built.
131 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
133 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
134 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
135 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
136 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
137 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
138 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
139 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
140 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
142 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
144 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
145 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
148 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
150 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
151 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
152 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
155 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
156 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
157 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
158 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
160 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
161 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
162 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
163 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
164 merged into the smtp code).
166 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
167 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
168 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
171 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
172 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
173 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
174 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
175 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
176 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
177 in the appropriate Makefile.in
179 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
181 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
182 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
183 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
184 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
185 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
186 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
187 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
188 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
189 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
190 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
191 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
193 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
195 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
196 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
197 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
198 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
199 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
200 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
201 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
202 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
203 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
205 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
207 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
208 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
211 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
213 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
214 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
216 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
218 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
219 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
220 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
221 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
223 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
225 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
226 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
227 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
228 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
229 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
231 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
232 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
234 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
236 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
238 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
239 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
240 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
241 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
243 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
244 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
245 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
246 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
248 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
249 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
250 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
251 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
253 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
254 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
255 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
257 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
259 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
260 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
261 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
262 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
263 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
264 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
267 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
268 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
270 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
271 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
273 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
275 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
277 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
279 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
280 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
281 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
282 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
284 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
286 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
287 be easily changed from "," to "#".
289 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
291 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
293 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
294 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
297 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
299 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
300 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
301 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
302 but not for the subsequent data stream.
304 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
306 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
307 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
308 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
309 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
310 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
312 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
314 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
315 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
317 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
318 cat, also define lorder as echo.
320 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
322 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
324 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
325 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
326 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
328 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
330 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
333 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
334 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
336 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
338 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
339 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
341 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
343 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
344 inc does not need to be setgid.
346 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
348 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
349 library, as found on Debian systems.
351 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
353 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
355 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
356 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
357 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
358 case-insensitivity flag.
360 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
362 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
363 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
365 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
367 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
368 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
369 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
370 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
371 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
372 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
373 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
374 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
375 getting moved aside).
377 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
378 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
380 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
382 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
383 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
384 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
385 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
386 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
387 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
388 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
389 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
390 the prototype, but never sets it.
392 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
393 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
394 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
395 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
396 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
397 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
399 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
400 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
401 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
402 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
403 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
405 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
407 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
408 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
411 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
412 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
413 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
414 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
415 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
416 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
417 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
419 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
421 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
423 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
424 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
425 this works on other systems.
427 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
429 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
430 checks for write failures.
432 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
434 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
436 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
439 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
441 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
443 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
445 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
446 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
449 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
451 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
452 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
453 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
454 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
456 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
458 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
459 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
462 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
463 as well as Makefiles.
465 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
467 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
468 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
469 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
470 should make maintainability easier.
472 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
473 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
474 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
475 whatever you know works.
477 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
479 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
480 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
481 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
483 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
484 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
485 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
486 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
488 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
489 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
490 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
492 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
493 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
494 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
495 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
496 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
498 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
499 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
500 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
501 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
502 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
503 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
504 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
505 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
506 from the BSD version.
508 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
509 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
510 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
512 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
515 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
518 This happens on solaris:
521 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
522 No manual entry for mts.conf.
526 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
528 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
529 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
531 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
533 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
534 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
535 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
536 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
537 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
538 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
539 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
540 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
541 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
542 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
543 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
545 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
546 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
547 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
548 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
549 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
550 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
553 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
554 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
555 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
556 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
557 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
559 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
560 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
562 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
564 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
565 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
566 to stdin, such as exmh.
568 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
569 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
570 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
573 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
575 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
576 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
577 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
578 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
579 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
580 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
581 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
583 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
585 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
586 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
588 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
590 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
591 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
593 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
595 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
598 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
599 along with any -host or -user option.
601 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
603 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
605 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
606 process was fresh in my mind.
608 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
610 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
611 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
613 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
615 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
617 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
620 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
621 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
622 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
623 part of the program's name.
625 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
626 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
629 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
631 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
632 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
633 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
634 single-character format would cause programs using this
635 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
636 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
637 when the format string was one character. This eventually
638 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
641 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
643 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
644 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
645 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
646 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
647 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
648 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
650 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
651 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
652 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
653 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
654 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
655 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
656 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
657 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
659 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
660 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
661 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
662 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
663 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
664 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
665 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
666 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
667 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
668 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
670 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
672 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
673 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
675 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
676 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
678 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
683 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
685 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
686 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
687 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
688 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
690 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
691 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
692 problem in the routine.
694 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
696 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
697 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
699 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
700 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
701 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
704 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
706 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
707 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
708 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
709 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
710 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
711 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
712 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
713 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
714 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
715 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
717 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
719 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
720 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
721 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
722 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
723 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
724 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
725 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
726 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
727 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
728 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
729 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
730 interesting than a duplication of the default.
732 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
733 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
734 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
735 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
736 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
738 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
741 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
743 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
744 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
745 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
746 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
749 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
751 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
753 * Applied, after some finessing,
754 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
756 Here's a patch that allows you to add
758 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
760 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
761 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
762 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
763 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
765 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
767 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
768 forgetting to do so!).
770 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
771 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
772 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
773 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
774 arguments to enable all three types.
776 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
777 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
779 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
780 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
781 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
782 updated copy of mts.conf.
784 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
786 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
787 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
788 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
790 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
792 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
794 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
795 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
796 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
798 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
799 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
800 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
802 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
803 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
804 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
806 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
808 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
810 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
812 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
814 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
815 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
817 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
818 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
819 certain suffix to run properly.
821 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
822 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
823 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
825 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
826 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
827 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
828 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
829 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
830 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
831 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
833 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
835 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
836 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
837 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
838 until some year far in the future).
840 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
842 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
844 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
845 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
847 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
848 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
851 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
853 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
854 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
855 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
856 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
857 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
858 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
860 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
862 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
864 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
865 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
866 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
868 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
869 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
870 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
871 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
872 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
873 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
876 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
877 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
878 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
879 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
880 of masquerading individually.
882 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
883 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
884 GECOS field delimiters.
886 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
888 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
889 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
890 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
891 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
892 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
893 and explaining the feature.
895 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
897 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
898 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
901 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
902 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
903 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
905 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
906 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
907 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
908 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
910 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
911 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
912 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
915 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
917 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
920 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
922 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
924 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
925 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
926 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
927 quotes embedded in them.
929 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
931 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
932 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
933 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
934 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
935 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
936 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
937 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
940 The other theory is that because you can say something like
941 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
942 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
943 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
944 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
946 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
948 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
950 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
951 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
952 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
953 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
955 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
958 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
960 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
962 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
964 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
965 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
966 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
968 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
971 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
974 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
975 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
976 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
977 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
978 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
980 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
981 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
983 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
985 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
988 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
990 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
991 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
992 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
995 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
996 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
997 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
998 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
999 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1000 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1001 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1002 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1003 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1004 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1005 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1006 processing that post has).
1008 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1010 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1011 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1012 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1013 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1014 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1015 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1018 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1020 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1022 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1024 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1026 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1027 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1029 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1032 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1034 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1035 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1036 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1039 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1041 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1042 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1043 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1044 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1045 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1046 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1048 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1050 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1052 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1054 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1055 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1056 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1057 caught again. This works for now.
1059 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1061 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1063 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1064 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1066 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1068 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1069 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1071 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1073 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1075 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1077 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1078 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1080 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1082 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1083 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1084 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1085 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1086 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1089 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1091 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1092 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1093 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1095 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1096 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1099 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1101 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1102 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1103 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1105 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1107 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1108 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1110 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1112 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1115 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1116 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1118 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1119 macros, regardless of platform.
1121 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1122 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1124 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1125 with x-conversions=gzip.
1127 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1129 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1132 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1133 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1134 implicit definition of ioctl().
1136 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1137 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1138 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1139 want to mess with them.
1141 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1143 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1144 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1146 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1147 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1149 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1150 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1151 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1153 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1154 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1155 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1157 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1158 function initgroups.
1160 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1163 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1164 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1167 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1168 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1171 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1172 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1176 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1178 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1179 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1180 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1182 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1183 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1185 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1187 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1189 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1190 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1191 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1192 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1194 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1195 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1197 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1199 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1201 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1203 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1204 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1206 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1208 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1209 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1211 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1212 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1213 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1214 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1216 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1217 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1219 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1221 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1222 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1224 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1226 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1227 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1230 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1232 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1234 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1236 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1237 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1239 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1240 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1241 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1243 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1244 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1245 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1247 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1248 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1249 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1251 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1252 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1255 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1256 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1258 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1259 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1261 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1262 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1264 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1265 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1266 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1268 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1269 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1271 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1272 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1273 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1275 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1276 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1279 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1280 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1282 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1283 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1284 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1285 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1287 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1288 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1290 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1294 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1295 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1296 would not be changed.
1298 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1299 one from the Apache web server.
1301 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1302 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1304 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1305 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1306 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1308 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1310 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1312 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1313 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1316 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1317 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1318 removes a bad race condition.
1320 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1323 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1324 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1325 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1327 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1328 sequence information.
1330 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1331 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1333 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1336 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1339 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1341 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1342 interpret 034 as octal.
1344 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1346 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1347 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1349 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1350 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1352 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1353 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1355 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1356 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1358 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1359 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1361 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1362 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1363 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1365 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1366 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1367 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1369 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1371 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1373 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1374 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1377 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1379 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1380 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1382 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1383 header field information.
1385 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1386 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1388 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1389 values when parsing a content.
1391 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1392 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1394 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1395 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1397 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1398 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1400 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1401 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1403 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1405 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1407 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1409 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1411 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1412 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1415 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1416 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1418 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1419 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1420 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1421 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1422 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1423 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1426 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1428 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1429 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1430 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1432 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1433 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1435 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1437 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1438 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1439 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1440 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1442 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1443 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1446 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1447 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1448 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1449 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1452 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1454 * Released nmh-0.27.
1456 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1457 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1459 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1460 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1461 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1462 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1465 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1466 mhbuild returns an error.
1468 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1469 rename the draft file.
1471 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1472 use a global variable.
1474 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1475 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1477 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1478 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1480 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1481 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1482 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1484 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1485 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1487 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1488 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1491 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1492 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1495 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1496 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1498 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1499 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1500 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1502 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1503 to new function output_content_folder.
1505 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1506 new function output_content_file.
1508 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1509 to new function parse_format_string.
1511 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1512 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1513 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1514 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1516 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1517 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1518 message/external file from ftp.
1520 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1521 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1522 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1524 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1525 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1528 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1531 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1532 new file mhstoresbr.c
1534 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1537 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1538 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1540 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1541 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1543 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1544 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1545 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1547 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1549 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1551 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1552 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1555 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1556 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1558 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1561 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1563 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1565 * Released nmh-0.26.
1567 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1568 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1569 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1570 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1572 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1573 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1574 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1575 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1576 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1578 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1579 But it is not on by default.
1581 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1582 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1584 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1586 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1588 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1590 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1592 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1593 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1595 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1597 * Released nmh-0.25.
1599 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1600 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1601 uses the original name of the library.
1603 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1604 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1607 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1608 list_content and list_debug.
1610 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1612 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1613 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1615 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1617 * Released nmh-0.24.
1619 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1621 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1622 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1624 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1625 large sequence line.
1627 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1629 * Released nmh-0.23.
1631 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1633 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1634 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1635 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1636 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1638 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1639 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1642 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1644 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1646 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1648 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1649 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1651 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1652 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1654 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1655 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1657 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1658 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1660 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1662 * Released nmh-0.22.
1664 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1665 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1667 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1669 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1670 mh-profile(5) man page.
1672 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to

1675 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1677 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1679 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1680 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1682 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1684 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1685 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1686 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1688 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1689 source message on the standard input.
1691 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1693 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1694 rather than -rfc934mode.
1696 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1697 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1700 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1701 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1703 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1706 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1708 * Released nmh-0.21.
1710 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1711 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1713 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1716 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1717 to use for text contents.
1719 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1721 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1723 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1725 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1727 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1728 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1730 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1731 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1732 spaces between encoded word are.
1734 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1736 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1737 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1739 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1740 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1741 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1743 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1745 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1746 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1748 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.

1753 ISO-8859-X character set.
1755 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1758 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1759 permissions, not write permissions.
1761 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1762 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1764 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1767 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1769 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1771 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1772 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1774 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1775 message contains valid character set.
1777 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1778 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1780 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1781 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1783 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1784 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1785 between an encoded word and normal text.
1787 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1788 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1790 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1791 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1793 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1796 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1797 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1800 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1801 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1803 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1804 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1806 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1808 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1810 * Released nmh-0.20.
1812 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1814 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1816 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1817 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1818 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1820 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1821 and the To: line was missing.
1823 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1825 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1827 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1829 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1830 watch the POP transaction.
1832 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1833 first, and use it if available.
1835 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1836 first, and use it if available.
1838 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1840 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1842 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1843 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1844 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1847 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1848 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1849 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1851 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1852 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1855 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1857 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1858 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1860 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1862 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1863 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1865 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1866 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1867 message to which you are replying.
1869 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1870 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1871 making group replies.
1873 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1875 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1877 * Released nmh-0.19.
1879 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1880 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1882 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1883 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1884 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1885 to the end of the man page.
1887 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1888 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1889 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1890 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1891 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1892 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1894 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1897 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1898 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1899 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1901 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1902 the next available number above the message number you wish
1905 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1906 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1908 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1909 file sbr/seq_print.c
1911 * flist will now update the current folder.
1913 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1914 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1915 but now undocumented.
1917 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1920 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1921 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1923 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1925 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1926 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1928 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1930 * Released nmh-0.18.
1932 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1933 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1934 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1936 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1937 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1939 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1940 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1941 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1942 previous public/private status.
1944 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1947 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1950 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1951 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1952 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1954 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1955 take option to determine whether it should get current
1956 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1957 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1959 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1961 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1962 wait for stopped processes.
1964 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1965 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1967 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1969 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1971 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1972 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1974 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1975 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1977 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1978 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1979 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1980 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1982 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1985 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1988 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1990 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1991 the debugging output.
1993 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1994 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1996 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1998 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2000 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2001 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2003 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2005 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2006 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2007 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2008 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2009 in the given sequence.
2011 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2012 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2013 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2014 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2015 subdirectories of a given directory.
2017 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2018 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2019 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2021 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2022 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2024 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2026 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2029 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2030 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2031 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2033 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2034 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2035 are calculated at runtime.
2037 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2041 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2042 about checking for global mh.profile.
2044 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2045 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2046 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2047 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2048 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2049 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2051 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2052 adding message to folder itself.
2054 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2055 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2056 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2059 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2060 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2063 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2064 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2065 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2067 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2068 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2070 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2071 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2072 code to use it yet).
2074 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2076 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2078 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2079 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2081 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2082 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2084 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2086 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2089 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2091 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2093 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2095 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2097 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2098 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2100 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2102 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2104 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2106 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2108 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2110 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2111 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2113 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2114 configuration files.
2116 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2118 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2120 * Released nmh-0.17.
2122 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2124 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2125 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2127 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2130 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2131 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2133 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2134 number of refiled message.
2136 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2138 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2139 for return value of wait().
2141 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2143 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2145 * Released nmh-0.16.

2149 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2151 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2152 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2153 deal with binary messages, yet).
2155 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2157 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2159 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2160 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2161 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2162 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2163 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2164 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2166 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2167 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2169 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2170 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2172 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2173 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2176 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2178 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2180 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2181 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2184 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2187 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2189 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2190 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2191 which used unsigned chars by default.
2193 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2195 * Released nmh-0.15.
2197 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

2202 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2204 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2207 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2208 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2209 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2211 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2212 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2214 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2216 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2217 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2219 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2220 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2221 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2222 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2224 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2225 and put in own subroutine.
2227 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2228 and put in own subroutine.
2230 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2231 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2232 refile.c to use new routine.
2234 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2238 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2241 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2242 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2243 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2245 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2248 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2249 adding message to sequence.
2251 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2252 corresponding file in sbr.
2254 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2257 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2259 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2260 all selected messages from a sequence.
2262 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2263 selected messages to a sequence.
2265 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2268 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2270 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2271 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2273 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2275 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2285 * Released nmh-0.14.
2287 * Comment out configure test and code for tgetent to allocate its
2288 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2290 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2292 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2293 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2294 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2295 environment variable.
2297 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2298 draft folder facility in nmh.

2316 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2317 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2320 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2321 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2323 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2325 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2326 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2328 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2330 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2359 will suppress the display of the message header.
2361 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2363 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2375 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2376 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2378 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2380 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2382 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2383 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2385 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2386 defined even if message is missing "From " line.

2400 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2402 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2403 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2405 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2411 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2413 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2415 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2445 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2446 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2448 * Released nmh-0.08.
2450 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2451 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2452 locking database itself.

2456 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2458 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2459 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2462 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2463 rather than mmdf format.
2465 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2466 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2467 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2468 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2470 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2472 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2474 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2477 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2478 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2479 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2481 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2482 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2483 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2485 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2487 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2488 can still easily change this in config.h).
2490 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2491 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2492 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2494 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2496 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2510 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2511 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2513 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2514 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2517 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2518 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2531 * Released nmh-0.06.
2533 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2534 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2536 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2537 many such machines around anymore.
2539 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2540 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2542 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2543 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2545 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2547 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2548 pre-generated version if necessary.
2550 * Released nmh-0.05.
2552 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2553 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2554 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2555 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2557 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2558 be linked in one pass.
2560 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2562 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2563 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2565 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2567 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2569 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2571 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2572 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2573 become the current folder.
2575 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2577 * Released nmh-0.04.
2579 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2582 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2584 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2585 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2586 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2588 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2590 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2591 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2593 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2595 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2596 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2599 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2600 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2602 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2604 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2605 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2606 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2607 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2608 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2609 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2611 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2613 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2614 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2616 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2617 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2619 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2621 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2622 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2624 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2626 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2627 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2628 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2630 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2632 * Released nmh-0.03.
2634 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2635 .mh_sequence file existed.
2637 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2638 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2640 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2641 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2644 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2646 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2649 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2651 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2652 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2653 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2655 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2657 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2658 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2659 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2661 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2663 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2664 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2666 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2668 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2670 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2671 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2672 directory from where the source code is located.
2674 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2676 * Released nmh-0.02.
2678 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>

2683 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2685 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2686 and sys_nerr directly.

2690 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2692 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2694 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2696 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2697 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2698 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2699 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2700 rather than in script.
2702 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2704 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2706 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2707 macro defined on Solaris.
2709 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2712 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2714 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2715 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2716 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2717 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2720 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2722 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2723 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2725 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2728 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2730 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2732 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2733 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2735 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2737 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2738 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2740 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2742 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2743 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2744 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2745 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2746 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2747 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2749 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2751 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2753 * Released nmh-0.01.
2755 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2756 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2757 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2760 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2762 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2765 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2767 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2768 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2770 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2772 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2773 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2774 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2775 script to find_program.
2777 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2779 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2780 speed up -recurse option.
2782 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2783 yet, but it compiles :-)
2785 * Changed default location for install to
2786 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2787 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2788 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2791 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2792 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2793 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
