3 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
4 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
6 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
8 * Fixed install in etc/Makefile.in so it wouldn't fail when
9 configuring and building outside the source tree.
11 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
13 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
14 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
15 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
16 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
17 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
19 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
20 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
22 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
24 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
26 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
27 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
28 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
29 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
31 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
32 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
33 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
34 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
36 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
37 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
38 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
39 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
41 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
42 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
43 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
45 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
47 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
48 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
49 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
50 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
51 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
52 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
55 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
56 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
58 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
59 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
61 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
63 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
65 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
67 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
68 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
69 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
70 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
72 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
74 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
75 be easily changed from "," to "#".
77 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
79 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
81 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
82 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
85 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
87 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
88 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
89 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
90 but not for the subsequent data stream.
92 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
94 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
95 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
96 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
97 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
98 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
100 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
102 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
103 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
105 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
106 cat, also define lorder as echo.
108 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
110 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
112 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
113 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
114 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
116 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
118 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
121 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
122 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
124 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
126 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
127 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
129 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
131 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
132 inc does not need to be setgid.
134 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
136 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
137 library, as found on Debian systems.
139 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
141 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
143 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
144 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
145 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
146 case-insensitivity flag.
148 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
150 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
151 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
153 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
155 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
156 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
157 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
158 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
159 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
160 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
161 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
162 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
163 getting moved aside).
165 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
166 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
168 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
170 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
171 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
172 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
173 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
174 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
175 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
176 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
177 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
178 the prototype, but never sets it.
180 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
181 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
182 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
183 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
184 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
185 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
187 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
188 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
189 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
190 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
191 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
193 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
195 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
196 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
199 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
200 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
201 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
202 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
203 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
204 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
205 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
207 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
209 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
211 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
212 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
213 this works on other systems.
215 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
217 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
218 checks for write failures.
220 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
222 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
224 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
227 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
229 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
231 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
233 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
234 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
237 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
239 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
240 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
241 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
242 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
244 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
246 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
247 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
250 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
251 as well as Makefiles.
253 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
255 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
256 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
257 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
258 should make maintainability easier.
260 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
261 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
262 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
263 whatever you know works.
265 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
267 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
268 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
269 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
271 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
272 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
273 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
274 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
276 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
277 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
278 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
280 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
281 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
282 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
283 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
284 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
286 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
287 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
288 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
289 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
290 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
291 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
292 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
293 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
294 from the BSD version.
296 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
297 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
298 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
300 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
303 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
306 This happens on solaris:
309 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
310 No manual entry for mts.conf.
314 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
316 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
317 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
319 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
321 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
322 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
323 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
324 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
325 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
326 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
327 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
328 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
329 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
330 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
331 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
333 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
334 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
335 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
336 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
337 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
338 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
341 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
342 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
343 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
344 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
345 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
347 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
348 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
350 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
352 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
353 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
354 to stdin, such as exmh.
356 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
357 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
358 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
361 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
363 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
364 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
365 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
366 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
367 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
368 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
369 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
371 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
373 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
374 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
376 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
378 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
379 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
381 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
383 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
386 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
387 along with any -host or -user option.
389 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
391 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
393 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
394 process was fresh in my mind.
396 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
398 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
399 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
401 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
403 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
405 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
408 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
409 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
410 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
411 part of the program's name.
413 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
414 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
417 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
419 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
420 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
421 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
422 single-character format would cause programs using this
423 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
424 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
425 when the format string was one character. This eventually
426 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
429 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
431 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
432 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
433 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
434 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
435 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
436 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
438 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
439 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
440 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
441 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
442 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
443 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
444 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
445 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
447 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
448 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
449 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
450 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
451 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
452 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
453 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
454 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
455 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
456 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
458 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
460 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
461 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
463 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
464 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
466 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
471 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
473 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
474 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
475 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
476 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
478 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
479 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
480 problem in the routine.
482 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
484 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
485 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
487 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
488 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
489 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
492 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
494 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
495 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
496 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
497 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
498 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
499 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
500 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
501 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
502 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
503 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
505 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
507 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
508 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
509 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
510 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
511 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
512 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
513 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
514 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
515 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
516 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
517 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
518 interesting than a duplication of the default.
520 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
521 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
522 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
523 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
524 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
526 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
529 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
531 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
532 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
533 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
534 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
537 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
539 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
541 * Applied, after some finessing,
542 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
544 Here's a patch that allows you to add
546 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
548 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
549 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
550 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
551 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
553 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
555 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
556 forgetting to do so!).
558 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
559 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
560 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
561 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
562 arguments to enable all three types.
564 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
565 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
567 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
568 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
569 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
570 updated copy of mts.conf.
572 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
574 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
575 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
576 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
578 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
580 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
582 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
583 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
584 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
586 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
587 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
588 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
590 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
591 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
592 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
594 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
596 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
598 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
600 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
602 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
603 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
605 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
606 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
607 certain suffix to run properly.
609 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
610 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
611 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
613 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
614 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
615 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
616 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
617 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
618 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
619 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
621 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
623 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
624 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
625 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
626 until some year far in the future).
628 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
630 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
632 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
633 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
635 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
636 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
639 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
641 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
642 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
643 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
644 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
645 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
646 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
648 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
650 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
652 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
653 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
654 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
656 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
657 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
658 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
659 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
660 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
661 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
664 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
665 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
666 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
667 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
668 of masquerading individually.
670 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
671 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
672 GECOS field delimiters.
674 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
676 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
677 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
678 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
679 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
680 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
681 and explaining the feature.
683 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
685 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
686 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
689 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
690 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
691 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
693 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
694 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
695 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
696 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
698 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
699 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
700 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
703 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
705 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
708 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
710 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
712 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
713 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
714 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
715 quotes embedded in them.
717 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
719 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
720 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
721 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
722 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
723 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
724 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
725 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
728 The other theory is that because you can say something like
729 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
730 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
731 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
732 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
734 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
736 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
738 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
739 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
740 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
741 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
743 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
746 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
748 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
750 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
752 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
753 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
754 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
756 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
759 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
761 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
762 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
763 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
764 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
765 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
766 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
768 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
769 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
771 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
773 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
776 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
778 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
779 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
780 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
783 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
784 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
785 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
786 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
787 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
788 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
789 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
790 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
791 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
792 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
793 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
794 processing that post has).
796 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
798 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
799 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
800 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
801 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
802 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
803 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
806 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
808 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
810 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
812 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
814 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
815 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
817 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
820 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
822 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
823 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
824 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
827 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
829 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
830 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
831 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
832 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
833 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
834 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
836 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
838 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
840 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
842 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
843 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
844 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
845 caught again. This works for now.
847 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
849 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
851 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
852 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
854 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
856 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
857 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
859 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
861 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
863 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
865 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
866 changes. Both need more cleanup.
868 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
870 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
871 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
872 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
873 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
874 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
877 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
879 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
880 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
881 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
883 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
884 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
887 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
889 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
890 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
891 to a directory on another device with more free space.
893 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
895 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
896 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
898 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
900 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
903 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
904 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
906 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
907 macros, regardless of platform.
909 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
910 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
912 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
913 with x-conversions=gzip.
915 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
917 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
920 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
921 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
922 implicit definition of ioctl().
924 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
925 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
926 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
927 want to mess with them.
929 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
931 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
932 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
934 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
935 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
937 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
938 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
939 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
941 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
942 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
943 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
945 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
948 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
951 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
952 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
955 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
956 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
959 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
960 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
964 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
966 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
967 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
968 preventing compilation on at least linux.
970 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
971 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
973 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
975 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
977 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
978 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
979 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
980 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
982 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
983 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
985 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
987 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
989 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
991 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
992 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
994 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
996 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
997 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
999 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1000 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1001 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1002 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1004 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1005 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1007 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1009 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1010 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1012 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1014 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1015 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1018 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1020 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1022 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1024 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1025 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1027 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1028 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1029 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1031 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1032 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1033 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1035 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1036 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1037 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1039 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1040 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1043 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1044 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1046 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1047 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1049 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1050 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1052 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1053 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1054 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1056 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1057 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1059 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1060 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1061 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1063 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1064 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1067 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1068 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1070 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1071 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1072 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1073 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1075 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1076 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1078 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1082 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1083 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1084 would not be changed.
1086 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1087 one from the Apache web server.
1089 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1090 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1092 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1093 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1094 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1096 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1098 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1100 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1101 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1104 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1105 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1106 removes a bad race condition.
1108 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1111 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1112 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1113 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1115 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1116 sequence information.
1118 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1119 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1121 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1124 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1127 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1129 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1130 interpret 034 as octal.
1132 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1134 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1135 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1137 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1138 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1140 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1141 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1143 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1144 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1146 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1147 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1149 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1150 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1151 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1153 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1154 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1155 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1157 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1159 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1161 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1162 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1165 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1167 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1168 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1170 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1171 header field information.
1173 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1174 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1176 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1177 values when parsing a content.
1179 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1180 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1182 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1183 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1185 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1186 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1188 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1189 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1191 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1193 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1195 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1197 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1199 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1200 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1203 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1204 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1206 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1207 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1208 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1209 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1210 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1211 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1214 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1216 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1217 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1218 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1220 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1221 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1223 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1225 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1226 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1227 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1228 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1230 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1231 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1234 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1235 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1236 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1237 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1240 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1242 * Released nmh-0.27.
1244 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1245 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1247 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1248 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1249 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1250 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1253 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1254 mhbuild returns an error.
1256 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1257 rename the draft file.
1259 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1260 use a global variable.
1262 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1263 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1265 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1266 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1268 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1269 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1270 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1272 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1273 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1275 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1276 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1279 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1280 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1283 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1284 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1286 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1287 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1288 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1290 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1291 to new function output_content_folder.
1293 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1294 new function output_content_file.
1296 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1297 to new function parse_format_string.
1299 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1300 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1301 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1302 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1304 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1305 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1306 message/external file from ftp.
1308 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1309 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1310 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1312 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1313 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1316 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1319 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1320 new file mhstoresbr.c
1322 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1325 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1326 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1328 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1329 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1331 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1332 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1333 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1335 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1337 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1339 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1340 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1343 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1344 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1346 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1349 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1351 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1353 * Released nmh-0.26.
1355 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1356 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1357 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1358 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1360 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1361 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1362 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1363 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1364 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1366 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1367 But it is not on by default.
1369 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1370 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1372 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1374 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1376 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1378 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1380 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1381 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1383 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1385 * Released nmh-0.25.
1387 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1388 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1389 uses the original name of the library.
1391 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1392 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1395 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1396 list_content and list_debug.
1398 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1400 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1401 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1403 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1405 * Released nmh-0.24.
1407 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1409 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1410 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1412 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1413 large sequence line.
1415 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1417 * Released nmh-0.23.
1419 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1421 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1422 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1423 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1424 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1426 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1427 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1430 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1432 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1434 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1436 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1437 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1439 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1440 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1442 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1443 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1445 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1446 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1448 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1450 * Released nmh-0.22.
1452 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1453 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1455 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1457 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1458 mh-profile(5) man page.
1460 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1461 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1463 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1465 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1467 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1468 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1470 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1472 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1473 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1474 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1476 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1477 source message on the standard input.
1479 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1481 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1482 rather than -rfc934mode.
1484 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1485 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1488 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1489 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1491 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1494 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1496 * Released nmh-0.21.
1498 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1499 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1501 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1504 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1505 to use for text contents.
1507 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1509 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1511 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1513 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1515 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1516 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1518 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1519 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1520 spaces between encoded word are.
1522 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1524 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1525 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1527 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1528 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1529 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1531 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1533 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1534 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1536 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1538 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1540 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1541 ISO-8859-X character set.
1543 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1546 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1547 permissions, not write permissions.
1549 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1550 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1552 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1555 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1557 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1559 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1560 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1562 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1563 message contains valid character set.
1565 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1566 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1568 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1569 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1571 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1572 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1573 between an encoded word and normal text.
1575 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1576 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1578 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1579 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1581 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1584 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1585 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1588 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1589 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1591 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1592 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1594 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1596 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1598 * Released nmh-0.20.
1600 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1602 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1604 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1605 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1606 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1608 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1609 and the To: line was missing.
1611 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1613 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1615 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1617 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1618 watch the POP transaction.
1620 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1621 first, and use it if available.
1623 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1624 first, and use it if available.
1626 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1628 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1630 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1631 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1632 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1635 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1636 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1637 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1639 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1640 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1643 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1645 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1646 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1648 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1650 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1651 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1653 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1654 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1655 message to which you are replying.
1657 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1658 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1659 making group replies.
1661 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1663 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1665 * Released nmh-0.19.
1667 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1668 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1670 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1671 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1672 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1673 to the end of the man page.
1675 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1676 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1677 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1678 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1679 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1680 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1682 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1685 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1686 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1687 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1689 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1690 the next available number above the message number you wish
1693 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1694 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1696 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1697 file sbr/seq_print.c
1699 * flist will now update the current folder.
1701 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1702 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1703 but now undocumented.
1705 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1708 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1709 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1711 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1713 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1714 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1716 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1718 * Released nmh-0.18.
1720 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1721 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1722 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1724 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1725 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1727 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1728 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1729 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1730 previous public/private status.
1732 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1735 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1738 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1739 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1740 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1742 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1743 take option to determine whether it should get current
1744 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1745 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1747 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1749 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1750 wait for stopped processes.
1752 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1753 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1755 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1757 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1759 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1760 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1762 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1763 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1765 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1766 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1767 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1768 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1770 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1773 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1776 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1778 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1779 the debugging output.
1781 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1782 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1784 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1786 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1788 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1789 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1791 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1793 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1794 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1795 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1796 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1797 in the given sequence.
1799 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1800 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1801 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1802 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1803 subdirectories of a given directory.
1805 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1806 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1807 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1809 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1810 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1812 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1814 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1817 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1818 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1819 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1821 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1822 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1823 are calculated at runtime.
1825 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1827 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1829 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1830 about checking for global mh.profile.
1832 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1833 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1834 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1835 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1836 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1837 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1839 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1840 adding message to folder itself.
1842 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1843 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1844 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1847 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1848 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1851 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1852 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1853 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1855 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1856 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1858 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1859 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1860 code to use it yet).
1862 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1864 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1866 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1867 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1869 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1870 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1872 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1874 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1877 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1879 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.

1883 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1885 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1886 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).

1890 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1892 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1894 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1896 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1898 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1899 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1901 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1902 configuration files.
1904 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.

1910 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1912 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1913 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1915 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1918 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1919 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1921 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1922 number of refiled message.
1924 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1926 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1927 for return value of wait().
1929 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1931 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1933 * Released nmh-0.16.
1935 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1937 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1939 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1940 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1941 deal with binary messages, yet).
1943 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1945 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1947 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1948 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1949 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1950 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1951 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1952 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1954 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1955 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1957 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1958 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1960 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1961 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1964 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1966 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1968 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1969 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1972 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1975 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1977 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1978 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1979 which used unsigned chars by default.
1981 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1983 * Released nmh-0.15.
1985 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages

1988 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1990 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1992 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1995 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1996 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1997 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1999 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2000 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2002 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2004 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2005 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2007 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2008 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2009 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2010 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2012 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2013 and put in own subroutine.
2015 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2016 and put in own subroutine.
2018 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2019 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2020 refile.c to use new routine.
2022 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2024 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2026 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2029 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2030 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2031 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2033 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2036 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2037 adding message to sequence.
2039 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2040 corresponding file in sbr.
2042 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2045 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2047 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2048 all selected messages from a sequence.
2050 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2051 selected messages to a sequence.
2053 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2056 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2058 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2059 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c
2061 Wed May 14 23:38:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2063 * Changed function m_gmsg to m_readfolder. Renamed file

2076 own termcap buffer when passed a NULL argument.
2078 Sat Apr 26 03:46:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2080 * Added new options `-checkmime', `-nocheckmime', and `-mhnproc'
2081 to show. Restructured code to handle options to various
2082 `procs' better. Deprecated `-noshowproc' option and NOMHNPROC
2083 environment variable.
2085 * Added new man page `mh-draft' which documents the
2086 draft folder facility in nmh.
2088 * Renamed fmtsbr.h to fmt_scan.h. Renamed fmtcompile.h
2091 * split fmtsbr.c into fmt_scan.c and fmt_new.c. Renamed

2100 * Released nmh-0.13.
2102 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2103 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2104 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2105 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2108 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2109 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2111 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2113 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2114 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2116 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2118 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2134 * Replace the bit twiddling for SELECTED, UNSEEN, and
2135 mp->attrstats with macros.
2137 * If system doesn't have SIGEMT (like Linux), then use SIGTERM
2140 * Change fstat to stat in m_gmsg.c since Linux wants
2143 * Merge Linux patch sent in by Michel Oosterhof (original
2144 patch from bsa@kf8nh.wariat.org).
2146 * Document an undocumented MH feature. mhn -form mhl.null
2147 will suppress the display of the message header.
2149 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2151 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2152 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.
2154 * Add mhnproc to the list of `procs' in mh-profile.man.
2156 * Add configure test for lorder and tsort commands.
2158 * Commented out the padding in the `msgs` struct in h/mh.h
2160 * Change m_gmsg.c to allocate elements to the `info' array by
2161 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2163 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2164 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2166 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2168 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2170 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2171 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2173 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2174 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2176 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2178 * Released nmh-0.10.

2185 Thu Mar 20 03:21:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2187 * Reversed previous decision to retain "From " lines in slocal.
2188 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2190 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2191 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2193 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and
2194 Delivery-Date from the "From " envelope.
2196 Mon Mar 17 19:03:36 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2198 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2199 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2201 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2203 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2208 * Released nmh-0.09.
2210 * Move config files and format files to *.old before installing.
2212 * Add configure check for killpg.

2224 Tue Mar 4 03:10:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2226 * ruserpass.c : removed conflicting prototypes.
2228 * rcvtty.c : Fixed rcvtty to obey terminal permissions granted
2229 by `mesg' command. Previously only worked on BSD machines.
2231 Mon Mar 3 00:18:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2233 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2234 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2236 * Released nmh-0.08.
2238 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2239 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2240 locking database itself.
2242 Thu Feb 27 05:28:09 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2244 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2246 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2247 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2250 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2251 rather than mmdf format.
2253 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2254 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2255 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2256 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2258 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2260 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2262 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2265 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2266 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2267 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2269 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2270 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2271 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2273 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2275 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2276 can still easily change this in config.h).
2278 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2279 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2280 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2282 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2284 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather
2285 than tzset and external timezone variable.

2294 * Released nmh-0.07.
2296 Tue Feb 11 01:29:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2299 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2301 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2302 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2305 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2306 built-in FTP client in mhn.
2308 * Added configure check for ushort and ulong. Change code
2309 to use ushort/ulong rather than u_short/u_long.
2311 * A couple of small cleanups in locking code.
2313 * Added configure check for gmtoff element in struct tm.
2315 * Added configure check for tzset.
2317 Fri Feb 7 03:01:57 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2319 * Released nmh-0.06.
2321 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2322 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2324 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2325 many such machines around anymore.
2327 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2328 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2330 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2331 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2333 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2335 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2336 pre-generated version if necessary.
2338 * Released nmh-0.05.
2340 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2341 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2342 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2343 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2345 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2346 be linked in one pass.
2348 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2350 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2351 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2353 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2355 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2357 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2359 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2360 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2361 become the current folder.
2363 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2365 * Released nmh-0.04.
2367 * Define ospeed and PC in termsbr.c is OS doesn't have
2370 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2372 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2373 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2374 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2376 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2378 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2379 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2381 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2383 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2384 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2387 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2388 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2390 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2392 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2393 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2394 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2395 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2396 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2397 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2399 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2401 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2402 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2404 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2405 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2407 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2409 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2410 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2412 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2414 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2415 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2416 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2418 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2420 * Released nmh-0.03.
2422 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2423 .mh_sequence file existed.
2425 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2426 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2428 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2429 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2432 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2434 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2437 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2439 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2440 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2441 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2443 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2446 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2447 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2449 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2451 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2452 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2454 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2456 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2458 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2459 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2460 directory from where the source code is located.
2462 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2464 * Released nmh-0.02.
2466 Wed Jan 1 17:41:52 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2468 * Split mhook man page into man pages for rcvdist, rcvpack,
2471 Tue Dec 31 03:07:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2473 * Changed code to use strerror, rather than using sys_errlist
2474 and sys_nerr directly.
2476 Mon Dec 30 02:15:25 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2478 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2480 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2482 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2484 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2485 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2486 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2487 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2488 rather than in script.
2490 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2492 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2494 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2495 macro defined on Solaris.
2497 Thu Dec 26 02:50:15 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2499 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2500 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2502 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2503 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2504 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2505 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2508 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2510 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2511 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2513 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2516 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2518 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2520 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2521 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2523 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2525 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2526 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2528 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2530 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2531 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2532 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2533 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2534 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2535 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2537 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2539 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2541 * Released nmh-0.01.
2543 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2544 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2545 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2548 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2550 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2553 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2555 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2556 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2558 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2560 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2561 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2562 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2563 script to find_program.
2565 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2567 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2568 speed up -recurse option.
2570 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2571 yet, but it compiles :-)
2573 * Changed default location for install to
2574 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2575 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2576 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2579 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2580 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2581 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
