1 2005-01-27 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
3 * Added -proxy option to inc and msgchk
5 * On systems where it is available, use nl_langinfo to get the
6 character set if MM_CHARSET is unset
8 2005-01-21 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
10 * sbr/check_charset.c US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8 so can be
11 handled directly when UTF-8 is being used
13 2004-12-17 Oliver Kiddle <okiddle@yahoo.co.uk>
15 * uip/mhmisc.c Fix -part option to mhshow/mhlist/mhstore to
16 find sub-parts of the specified part
18 2003-9-30 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
19 * Fix 'pick' so handling of options "-list" and "-seq" are
21 * Fix 'inc' realloc error when bringing in more than 100 msgs
23 * Patches submitted by Nick Rusnov from Debian archive applied:
26 136976 - Handle binary content messages
27 143427 - mh-format.man typo
28 144098 - 'spost; should have same behavior as 'post'
29 w.r.t. mts.conf masquerade line
30 149745 - slocal ignores 'N' result of previous command
31 152728 - increase SMTP timeouts to conform to RFC 1123
32 The timeouts suggested by the RFC seem long
33 to me - but the RFC is still listed as active.
34 181867 - typo for nmh.man
36 2003-08-10 Jeffrey C Honig <jch@honig.net>
38 * Fix problem where parsing of address/date fields in fmt_compile
39 is optimized to the first instance. The first instance may be in
40 contitional code which will result in cached data to
41 be used. Instead, convert c_flags to a flags field from a boolean
42 and parse on the first use.
43 * Remove some unused flag bits.
45 Fri Jul 01 22:02:00 2003 Glenn Burkhardt <glenn@aoi-industries.com>
47 * Applied fixes for configuration problems with Solaris and
48 systems with gdbm instead of db1 (includes bug #2024)
50 #578 - repl leaks umask
51 #1393 - sortm core dumps
52 #1650 - msh leaks file descriptors
53 #1730 - Double free() in mhfree.c:free_encoding()
54 #3356 - In-Reply-To header in default replcomps should be
56 * Revised man page for mh-format (bug #2031)
57 * New replcomps, etc, with Fcc: +outbox in default versions
59 Sat Mar 17 03:18:15 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
61 * Ken Hornstein's configure.in Cyrus SASL checks were doing
62 `x"$with_cyrus_sasl" != "no"' instead of `... != x"no"'.
64 Tue Mar 06 21:04:27 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
66 * Found some historical information about MH in RFC 808.
67 Supplemented it with info from Jerry Peek's MH book and added it
70 Tue Feb 6 20:35:40 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
72 * sbr/dtime.c Use the same Y2K correction code as dtimep.lex
74 * sbr/dtimep.lex Restrict the parser to accept either
75 a numerical timezone offset, or a symbolic one (e.g. EST),
76 but not both (Since "2000 -400 EDT" might cause a double
77 subtraction of 60 minutes if both are parsed. One should be
80 Mon Feb 05 20:22:54 2001 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
82 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
83 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
84 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
85 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
86 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
87 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
90 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
91 summary configure prints out.
93 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
94 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
95 subjectively more readable) format.
97 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
99 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
102 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
104 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
105 19xx when it's not necessary.
107 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
109 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
110 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
113 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
114 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
115 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
116 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
117 the man pages correctly.
119 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
121 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
123 * Finished manpages ali-prev
125 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
126 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
127 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
130 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
131 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
132 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
133 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
135 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
137 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
138 the formatting rules I've been using.
142 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
144 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
145 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
146 used in the manpages.
148 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
149 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
150 read in the contents of the file as the variable
153 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
154 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
155 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
156 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
157 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
158 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
159 bold flags and italicized parameters.
161 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
163 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
164 --with-locking option.
166 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
167 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
168 information was not being communicated to the
169 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
170 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
171 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
172 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
173 undefined symbols problems.
175 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
176 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
177 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
178 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
179 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
180 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
181 for a genuine krb4 installation.
183 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
185 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
186 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
188 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
190 * Made a new ./configure option called
191 "--with-locking" that allows the file
192 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
193 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
195 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
196 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
197 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
198 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
199 the user that these are the valid options, and
200 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
203 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
205 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
206 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
207 committed to supporting flex only, since
208 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
209 string, as well as other problems documented
210 below and on nmh-workers.
212 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
213 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
214 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
217 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
218 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
220 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
222 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
223 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
224 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
226 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
228 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
229 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
231 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
233 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
234 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
235 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
236 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
237 couldn't correctly identify them.
239 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
241 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
242 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
243 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
244 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
245 not depending on an external archive.
247 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
248 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
249 mts/generic is no longer built.
251 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
253 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
254 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
255 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
256 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
257 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
258 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
259 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
260 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
262 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
264 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
265 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
268 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
270 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
271 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
272 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
275 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
276 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
277 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
278 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
280 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
281 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
282 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
283 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
284 merged into the smtp code).
286 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
287 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
288 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
291 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
292 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
293 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
294 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
295 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
296 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
297 in the appropriate Makefile.in
299 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
301 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
302 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
303 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
304 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
305 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
306 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
307 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
308 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
309 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
310 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
311 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
313 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
315 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
316 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
317 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
318 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
319 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
320 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
321 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
322 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
323 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
325 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
327 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
328 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
331 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
333 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
334 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
336 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
338 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
339 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
340 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
341 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
343 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
345 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
346 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
347 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
348 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
349 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
351 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
352 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
354 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
356 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
358 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
359 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
360 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
361 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
363 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
364 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
365 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
366 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
368 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
369 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
370 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
371 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
373 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
374 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
375 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
377 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
379 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
380 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
381 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
382 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
383 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
384 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
387 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
388 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
390 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
391 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
393 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
395 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
397 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
399 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
400 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
401 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
402 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
404 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
406 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
407 be easily changed from "," to "#".
409 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
411 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
413 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
414 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
417 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
419 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
420 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
421 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
422 but not for the subsequent data stream.
424 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
426 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
427 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
428 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
429 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
430 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
432 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
434 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
435 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
437 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
438 cat, also define lorder as echo.
440 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
442 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
444 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
445 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
446 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
448 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
450 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
453 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
454 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
456 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
458 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
459 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
461 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
463 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
464 inc does not need to be setgid.
466 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
468 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
469 library, as found on Debian systems.
471 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
473 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
475 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
476 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
477 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
478 case-insensitivity flag.
480 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
482 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
483 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
485 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
487 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
488 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
489 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
490 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
491 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
492 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
493 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
494 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
495 getting moved aside).
497 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
498 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
500 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
502 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
503 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
504 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
505 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
506 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
507 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
508 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
509 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
510 the prototype, but never sets it.
512 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
513 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
514 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
515 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
516 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
517 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
519 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
520 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
521 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
522 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
523 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
525 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
527 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
528 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
531 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
532 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
533 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
534 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
535 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
536 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
537 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
539 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
541 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
543 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
544 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
545 this works on other systems.
547 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
549 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
550 checks for write failures.
552 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
554 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
556 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
559 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
561 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
563 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
565 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
566 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
569 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
571 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
572 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
573 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
574 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
576 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
578 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
579 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
582 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
583 as well as Makefiles.
585 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
587 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
588 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
589 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
590 should make maintainability easier.
592 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
593 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
594 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
595 whatever you know works.
597 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
599 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
600 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
601 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
603 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
604 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
605 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
606 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
608 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
609 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
610 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
612 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
613 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
614 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
615 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
616 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
618 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
619 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
620 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
621 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
622 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
623 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
624 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
625 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
626 from the BSD version.
628 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
629 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
630 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
632 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
635 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
638 This happens on solaris:
641 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
642 No manual entry for mts.conf.
646 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
648 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
649 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
651 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
653 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
654 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
655 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
656 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
657 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
658 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
659 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
660 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
661 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
662 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
663 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
665 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
666 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
667 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
668 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
669 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
670 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
673 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
674 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
675 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
676 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
677 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
679 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
680 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
682 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
684 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
685 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
686 to stdin, such as exmh.
688 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
689 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
690 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
693 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
695 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
696 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
697 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
698 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
699 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
700 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
701 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
703 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
705 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
706 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
708 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
710 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
711 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
713 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
715 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
718 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
719 along with any -host or -user option.
721 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
723 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
725 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
726 process was fresh in my mind.
728 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
730 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
731 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
733 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
735 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
737 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
740 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
741 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
742 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
743 part of the program's name.
745 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
746 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
749 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
751 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
752 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
753 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
754 single-character format would cause programs using this
755 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
756 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
757 when the format string was one character. This eventually
758 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
761 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
763 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
764 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
765 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
766 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
767 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
768 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
770 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
771 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
772 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
773 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
774 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
775 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
776 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
777 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
779 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
780 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
781 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
782 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
783 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
784 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
785 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
786 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
787 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
788 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
790 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
792 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
793 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
795 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
796 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
798 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
803 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
805 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
806 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
807 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
808 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
810 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
811 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
812 problem in the routine.
814 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
816 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
817 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
819 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
820 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
821 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
824 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
826 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
827 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
828 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
829 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
830 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
831 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
832 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
833 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
834 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
835 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
837 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
839 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
840 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
841 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
842 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
843 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
844 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
845 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
846 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
847 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
848 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
849 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
850 interesting than a duplication of the default.
852 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
853 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
854 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
855 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
856 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
858 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
861 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
863 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
864 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
865 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
866 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
869 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
871 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
873 * Applied, after some finessing,
874 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
876 Here's a patch that allows you to add
878 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
880 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
881 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
882 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
883 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
885 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
887 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
888 forgetting to do so!).
890 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
891 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
892 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
893 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
894 arguments to enable all three types.
896 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
897 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
899 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
900 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
901 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
902 updated copy of mts.conf.
904 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
906 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
907 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
908 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
910 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
912 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
914 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
915 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
916 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
918 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
919 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
920 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
922 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
923 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
924 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
926 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
928 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
930 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
932 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
934 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
935 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
937 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
938 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
939 certain suffix to run properly.
941 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
942 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
943 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
945 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
946 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
947 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
948 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
949 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
950 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
951 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
953 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
955 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
956 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
957 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
958 until some year far in the future).
960 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
962 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
964 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
965 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
967 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
968 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
971 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
973 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
974 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
975 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
976 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
977 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
978 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
980 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
982 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
984 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
985 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
986 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
988 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
989 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
990 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
991 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
992 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
993 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
996 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
997 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
998 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
999 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
1000 of masquerading individually.
1002 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
1003 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
1004 GECOS field delimiters.
1006 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1008 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
1009 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
1010 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
1011 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
1012 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
1013 and explaining the feature.
1015 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1017 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
1018 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
1021 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
1022 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
1023 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
1025 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
1026 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
1027 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
1028 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
1030 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
1031 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
1032 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
1035 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1037 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
1038 code to be executed.
1040 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
1042 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1044 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
1045 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
1046 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
1047 quotes embedded in them.
1049 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1051 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
1052 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
1053 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
1054 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
1055 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
1056 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
1057 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
1060 The other theory is that because you can say something like
1061 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
1062 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
1063 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
1064 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
1066 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1068 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
1070 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
1071 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
1072 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
1073 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
1075 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
1078 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1080 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1082 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1084 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1085 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1086 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1088 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1091 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1093 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1094 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1095 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1096 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1097 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1098 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1100 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1101 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1103 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1105 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1108 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1110 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1111 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1112 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1115 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1116 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1117 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1118 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1119 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1120 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1121 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1122 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1123 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1124 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1125 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1126 processing that post has).
1128 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1130 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1131 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1132 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1133 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1134 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1135 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1138 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1140 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1142 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1144 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1146 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1147 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1149 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1152 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1154 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1155 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1156 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1159 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1161 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1162 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1163 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1164 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1165 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1166 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1168 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1170 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1172 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1174 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1175 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1176 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1177 caught again. This works for now.
1179 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1181 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1183 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1184 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1186 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1188 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1189 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1191 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1193 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1195 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1197 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1198 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1200 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1202 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1203 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1204 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1205 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1206 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1209 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1211 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1212 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1213 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1215 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1216 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1219 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1221 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1222 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1223 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1225 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1227 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1228 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1230 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1232 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1235 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1236 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1238 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1239 macros, regardless of platform.
1241 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1242 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1244 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1245 with x-conversions=gzip.
1247 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1249 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1252 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1253 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1254 implicit definition of ioctl().
1256 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1257 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1258 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1259 want to mess with them.
1261 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1263 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1264 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1266 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1267 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1269 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1270 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1271 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1273 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1274 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1275 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1277 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1278 function initgroups.
1280 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1283 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1284 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1287 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1288 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1291 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1292 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1296 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1298 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1299 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1300 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1302 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1303 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1305 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1307 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1309 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1310 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1311 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1312 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1314 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1315 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1317 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1319 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1321 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1323 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1324 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1326 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1328 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1329 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1331 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1332 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1333 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1334 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1336 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1337 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1339 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1341 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1342 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1344 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1346 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1347 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1350 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1352 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1354 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1356 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1357 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1359 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1360 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1361 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1363 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1364 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1365 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1367 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1368 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1369 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1371 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1372 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1375 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1376 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1378 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1379 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1381 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1382 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1384 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1385 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1386 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1388 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1389 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1391 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1392 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1393 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1395 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1396 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1399 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1400 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1402 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1403 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1404 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1405 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1407 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1408 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1410 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1414 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1415 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1416 would not be changed.
1418 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1419 one from the Apache web server.
1421 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1422 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1424 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1425 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1426 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1428 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1430 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1432 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1433 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1436 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1437 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1438 removes a bad race condition.
1440 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1443 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1444 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1445 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1447 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1448 sequence information.
1450 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1451 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1453 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1456 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1459 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1461 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1462 interpret 034 as octal.
1464 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1466 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1467 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1469 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1470 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1472 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1473 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1475 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1476 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1478 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1479 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1481 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1482 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1483 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1485 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1486 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1487 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1489 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1491 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1493 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1494 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1497 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1499 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1500 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1502 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1503 header field information.
1505 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1506 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1508 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1509 values when parsing a content.
1511 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1512 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1514 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1515 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1517 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1518 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1520 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1521 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1523 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1525 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1527 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1529 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1531 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1532 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1535 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1536 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1538 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1539 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1540 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1541 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1542 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1543 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1546 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1548 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1549 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1550 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1552 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1553 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1555 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1557 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1558 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1559 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1560 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1562 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1563 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1566 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1567 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1568 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1569 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1572 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1574 * Released nmh-0.27.
1576 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1577 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1579 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1580 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1581 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1582 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1585 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1586 mhbuild returns an error.
1588 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1589 rename the draft file.
1591 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1592 use a global variable.
1594 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1595 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1597 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1598 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1600 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1601 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1602 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1604 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1605 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1607 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1608 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1611 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1612 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1615 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1616 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1618 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1619 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1620 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1622 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1623 to new function output_content_folder.
1625 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1626 new function output_content_file.
1628 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1629 to new function parse_format_string.
1631 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1632 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1633 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1634 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1636 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1637 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1638 message/external file from ftp.
1640 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1641 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1642 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1644 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1645 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1648 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1651 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1652 new file mhstoresbr.c
1654 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1657 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1658 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1660 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1661 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1663 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1664 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1665 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1667 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1669 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1671 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1672 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1675 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1676 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1678 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1681 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1683 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1685 * Released nmh-0.26.
1687 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1688 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1689 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1690 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1692 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1693 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1694 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1695 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1696 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1698 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1699 But it is not on by default.
1701 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1702 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1704 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1706 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1708 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1710 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1712 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1713 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1715 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1717 * Released nmh-0.25.
1719 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1720 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1721 uses the original name of the library.
1723 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1724 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1727 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1728 list_content and list_debug.
1730 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1732 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1733 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1735 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1737 * Released nmh-0.24.
1739 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1741 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1742 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1744 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1745 large sequence line.
1747 1998-02-23 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1749 * Released nmh-0.23.
1751 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1753 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1754 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1755 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1756 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1758 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1759 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1762 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1764 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1766 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1768 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1769 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1771 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1772 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1774 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1775 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1777 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)
1778 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1780 1998-02-11 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1782 * Released nmh-0.22.
1784 * Add a configure check for sigsetjmp. Add some conditional
1785 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1787 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1789 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1790 mh-profile(5) man page.
1792 * Fix signal problem in mhn.c (change setjmp/longjmp to
1793 sigsetjmp/siglongjmp).
1795 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1797 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1799 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1800 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1802 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1804 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1805 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1806 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1808 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1809 source message on the standard input.
1811 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1813 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1814 rather than -rfc934mode.
1816 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1817 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1820 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1821 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1823 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1826 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1828 * Released nmh-0.21.
1830 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1831 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1833 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1836 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1837 to use for text contents.
1839 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1841 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1843 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1845 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1847 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1848 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1850 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1851 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1852 spaces between encoded word are.
1854 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1856 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1857 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1859 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1860 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1861 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1863 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1865 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1866 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1868 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1870 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1872 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1873 ISO-8859-X character set.
1875 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1878 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1879 permissions, not write permissions.
1881 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1882 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1884 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1887 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1889 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1891 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1892 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1894 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1895 message contains valid character set.
1897 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1898 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1900 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1901 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1903 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1904 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1905 between an encoded word and normal text.
1907 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1908 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1910 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1911 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1913 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1916 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1917 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1920 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1921 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1923 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1924 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1926 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1928 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1930 * Released nmh-0.20.
1932 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1934 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1936 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1937 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1938 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1940 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1941 and the To: line was missing.
1943 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1945 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1947 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1949 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1950 watch the POP transaction.
1952 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1953 first, and use it if available.
1955 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1956 first, and use it if available.
1958 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1960 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1962 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1963 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1964 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1967 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1968 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1969 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1971 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1972 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1975 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1977 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1978 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1980 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1982 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1983 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1985 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1986 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1987 message to which you are replying.
1989 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1990 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1991 making group replies.
1993 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1995 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1997 * Released nmh-0.19.
1999 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
2000 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
2002 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
2003 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
2004 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
2005 to the end of the man page.
2007 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
2008 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
2009 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
2010 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
2011 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
2012 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
2014 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
2017 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
2018 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
2019 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
2021 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
2022 the next available number above the message number you wish
2025 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
2026 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
2028 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
2029 file sbr/seq_print.c
2031 * flist will now update the current folder.
2033 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
2034 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
2035 but now undocumented.
2037 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
2040 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
2041 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
2043 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
2045 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
2046 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
2048 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2050 * Released nmh-0.18.
2052 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
2053 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
2054 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
2056 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
2057 retains the public/private status of sequences.
2059 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
2060 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
2061 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
2062 previous public/private status.
2064 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
2067 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
2070 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
2071 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
2072 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
2074 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
2075 take option to determine whether it should get current
2076 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
2077 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2079 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2081 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2082 wait for stopped processes.
2084 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2085 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2087 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2089 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2091 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2092 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2094 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2095 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2097 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2098 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2099 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2100 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2102 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2105 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2108 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2110 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2111 the debugging output.
2113 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2114 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2116 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2118 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2120 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2121 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2123 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2125 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2126 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2127 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2128 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2129 in the given sequence.
2131 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2132 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2133 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2134 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2135 subdirectories of a given directory.
2137 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2138 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2139 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2141 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2142 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2144 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2146 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2149 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2150 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2151 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2153 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2154 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2155 are calculated at runtime.
2157 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2159 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2161 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2162 about checking for global mh.profile.
2164 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2165 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2166 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2167 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2168 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2169 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2171 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2172 adding message to folder itself.
2174 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2175 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2176 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2179 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2180 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2183 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2184 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2185 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2187 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2188 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2190 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2191 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2192 code to use it yet).
2194 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2196 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2198 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2199 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2201 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2202 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2204 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2206 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2209 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2211 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2213 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2215 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2217 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2218 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2220 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2222 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2224 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2226 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2228 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2230 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2231 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2233 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2234 configuration files.
2236 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2238 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2240 * Released nmh-0.17.
2242 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2244 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2245 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2247 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2250 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2251 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2253 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2254 number of refiled message.
2256 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2258 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2259 for return value of wait().
2261 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2263 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2265 * Released nmh-0.16.
2267 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2269 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2271 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2272 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2273 deal with binary messages, yet).
2275 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2277 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2279 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2280 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2281 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2282 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2283 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2284 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2286 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2287 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).

2293 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2296 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2298 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".

2301 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2304 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2307 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2309 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2310 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2311 which used unsigned chars by default.

2328 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2329 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2331 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2332 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2334 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2336 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2337 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2339 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2340 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2341 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2342 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2344 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2345 and put in own subroutine.
2347 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2348 and put in own subroutine.
2350 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2351 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and

2383 selected messages to a sequence.
2385 * Split sbr/m_seqnew.c into m_seqadd.c, m_seqdel.c, m_seqnew.c,
2388 Thu May 15 00:53:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2390 * Renamed function pack_folder to m_packfolder, and moved it
2391 from uip/folder.c into its own file sbr/m_packfolder.c

2432 * Released nmh-0.13.
2434 * Changed mhpath so it doesn't abort if a message sequence
2435 such as "mhpath all" expands to more than 1000 messages.
2436 Also mhpath now dynamically reallocated space for message
2437 names (The number of command line arguments is still limited
2440 * Did some general restructuring of the code in folder.c
2441 that checks for folder information, and prints it.
2443 Thu Apr 24 01:04:37 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2445 * Changed `folder' to reallocate space for folder names if
2446 necessary. So `folders' can now handle more than 300 folders.
2448 Tue Apr 22 14:01:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2450 * Change configure to use a compile check to see if the tm struct

2479 will suppress the display of the message header.
2481 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2483 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c
2484 and mshcmds.c, rather than hard coding in /bin/cat.

2493 500 elements at a time (rather than MAXFOLDERS / 5).
2495 * Add note to man page for mhmail that zero length messages are
2496 not sent. Need to use -body "" to send empty messages.
2498 * zotnet/mts/mts.c : compare character with '\0', not NULL.
2500 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2502 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2503 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2505 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is
2506 defined even if message is missing "From " line.
2508 Mon Mar 31 03:37:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2510 * Released nmh-0.10.

2520 The "From " line is now removed from all messages.
2522 * inc now saves the date from the "From " envelope in the
2523 Delivery-Date header for all messages.
2525 * sbr/m_getfld.c: Clean up processing of Return-Path and

2530 * client.c: cast iaddr to int before comparing return value
2531 of inet_addr with NOTOK.
2533 Tue Mar 11 04:38:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2535 * Grep test for signal names was failing on some OS'es because

2565 * rcvtty.c : Changed to use #define UTMP_FILE (if exists) rather
2566 than hard coded "/etc/utmp".
2568 * Released nmh-0.08.
2570 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2571 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of
2572 locking database itself.

2576 * Added slocal action `mmdf' to deliver to a file in mmdf format.
2578 * Changed the slocal actions `file' and `>' to always deliver in
2579 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2582 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2583 rather than mmdf format.
2585 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2586 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2587 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2588 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2590 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2592 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2594 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2597 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2598 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2599 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2601 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2602 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2603 rcvpack so you can choose the preferred format.
2605 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2607 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2608 can still easily change this in config.h).
2610 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2611 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2612 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2614 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2616 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2630 * Add check to configure, so that if ruserpass, or _ruserpass
2631 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2633 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2634 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2637 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2638 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2651 * Released nmh-0.06.
2653 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2654 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2656 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2657 many such machines around anymore.
2659 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2660 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2662 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2663 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2665 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2668 pre-generated version if necessary.
2670 * Released nmh-0.05.
2672 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2673 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2674 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2675 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2677 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2678 be linked in one pass.
2680 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2682 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2683 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2685 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2687 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2689 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2691 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2692 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2693 become the current folder.
2695 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2697 * Released nmh-0.04.

2702 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2704 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2705 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2706 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2708 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2710 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2711 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2713 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2715 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2716 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2719 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2720 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2722 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2724 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2725 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2726 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2727 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2728 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2729 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2731 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2733 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2734 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2736 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2737 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2739 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2741 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2742 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2744 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2746 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2747 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2748 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2750 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2752 * Released nmh-0.03.
2754 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2755 .mh_sequence file existed.
2757 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2758 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2760 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2761 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2764 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2766 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2769 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2772 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2773 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2775 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2777 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2778 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2779 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2781 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2784 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2786 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2788 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2790 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2791 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2792 directory from where the source code is located.
2794 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2796 * Released nmh-0.02.

2810 * -compat switch from install-mh removed.
2812 * Changed the default POP port from "pop" to "pop3".
2814 Sat Dec 28 13:25:05 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2816 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2817 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2818 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2819 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2820 rather than in script.
2822 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2824 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2826 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2827 macro defined on Solaris.

2831 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2832 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2834 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2835 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2836 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2837 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2840 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2842 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2843 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2845 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2848 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2850 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2852 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included
2853 in mhn.c. Changed md5 to use memset and memcpy.
2855 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2857 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2858 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2860 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2862 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2863 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2864 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2865 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2866 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2867 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2869 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2871 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2873 * Released nmh-0.01.
