3 * -L isn't sufficient for specifying the path of the Cyrus SASL
4 shared library. That'll allow us to link successfully, but on
5 many/most OSes that won't allow us to find libsasl at runtime. On
6 Solaris, we need to specify the library path with -R as well (or
7 else the user will have to use the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH kludge, which
8 is considered harmful). This fix should be extended to other OSes
11 * Print whether we have SASL support in the "nmh configuration"
12 summary configure prints out.
14 * Say in README.developers to use `\date' in case anyone is like
15 me and has `date' aliased in their shell to use a nonstandard (but
16 subjectively more readable) format.
18 Thu Jan 25 21:15:52 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
20 * man/mh-chart.man has updated synposes of
23 Tue Jan 23 20:26:15 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
25 * etc/digestcomps tried to force dates into a
26 19xx when it's not necessary.
28 Fri Jan 19 21:22:08 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
30 * First round of manpage updates finished. They
31 are standardized on -man macros, with minimal
34 * man/tmac.h.in is no longer needed, since the
35 manpages do not depend on them anymore. Note:
36 strict "man" programs that didn't allow ".so"
37 sourcing outside the man tree will now format
38 the man pages correctly.
40 * man/vmh.1 is no longer built, since uip/vmh isn't
42 Tue Jan 9 6:01:22 2001 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
44 * Finished manpages ali-prev
46 * Removed deprecated files from the repository.
47 Specifically, those rooted in zotnet/ and mts/sendmail
48 mts/mmdf. "cvs update -dP" will give a pruned directory
51 * Updated docs/Makefile.in to include README.manpages, and
52 uip/Makefile.in to include popi.c (which isn't being built,
53 though). This allows "make nmhdist" to create an archive that
54 is file-for-file identical to the current cvs repository.
56 Sun Dec 31 20:48:50 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
58 * Create docs/README.manpages, which details
59 the formatting rules I've been using.
63 Sat Dec 30 9:50:13 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
65 * Created a new file "DATE" to hold the date
66 of the most recent nmh release. This date will be
69 * Updated docs/README.developers to add the step
70 of updating DATE. Also, updated configure to
71 read in the contents of the file as the variable
74 * Started work on updating man pages, with only
75 ali finished so far. Changes: 1) no dependence
76 on an external macro file, 2) uses only
77 -man macros (although I may be mistaken in this),
78 3) syntax in the SYNOPSIS is a little more
79 in line with standard UNIX documentation, such as
80 bold flags and italicized parameters.
82 Sun Dec 24 10:06:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
84 * Updated INSTALL with information about the
85 --with-locking option.
87 * Fixed the Hesiod tests in configure.in. In
88 systems where res_send was in -lresolv, this
89 information was not being communicated to the
90 HESIOD_LIBS var. Now, if res_send is not found
91 in the default libraries, it's assumed to be
92 in -lresolv, and thus -lresolv is appended to
93 HESIOD_LIBS, which will need that to avoid
94 undefined symbols problems.
96 * Fixed the Kerberos tests in configure.in. New
97 versions of Kerberos 5 have renamed -lcrypto
98 to -lk5crypto (circa krb5 1.1 or thereabouts). The
99 new test tries to determine if -lk5crypto exists. If so,
100 this is a new krb5 system. If not, test for -lcrypto
101 and the rest of old krb5. If that fails, look
102 for a genuine krb4 installation.
104 Fri Dec 22 22:08:51 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
106 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in msgchk.man.
107 -snoop was documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
109 Fri Dec 22 23:42:16 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
111 * Made a new ./configure option called
112 "--with-locking" that allows the file
113 locking mechanism to be chosen there instead of
114 requiring a manual edit of config.h.
116 * If the option is not explicitly set, or an
117 invalid option is specified, "dot" locking is
118 chosen. Valid options are "dot", "fcntl",
119 "flock", and "lockf". We need a way to tell
120 the user that these are the valid options, and
121 change the flag "--with-locking" if it's not
124 Fri Dec 22 19:21:29 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
126 * Remove the lex-specific memory hints at the
127 beginning of sbr/dtimep.lex. We've already
128 committed to supporting flex only, since
129 lex does not easily allow us to parse a single
130 string, as well as other problems documented
131 below and on nmh-workers.
133 * Added a switch statement to configure.in to
134 test for Mac OS X. If this is the case, LDFLAGS
135 should not contain "-s" since the linker rejects
138 * Updated MACHINES to include Mac OS X Public Beta,
139 as well as Linux 2.4 running glibc 2.2.
141 Wed Dec 20 16:00:46 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
143 * Marked deprecated directories in docs/README.developers
144 as deprecated, with pointers to the new code location.
145 Eventually these deprecated directories should go away.
147 Tue Dec 19 19:16:37 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
149 * -apop and -noapop were not documented in inc.man. -snoop was
150 documented but didn't appear in the usage SYNOPSIS.
152 Thu Dec 14 14:32:09 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
154 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to the most recent
155 versions on ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config, dated
156 12-07-00. This should prevent configure from failing
157 on newer operating systems because config.{guess,sub}
158 couldn't correctly identify them.
160 Thu Dec 14 1:30:44 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
162 * Fixed the circular dependency created when I moved
163 zotnet/mts to mts/generic and merged them into libmts.
164 mts/generic/client.c and mts/generic/mts.c are now in sbr/
165 (and thus in libmh), which makes libmh self-contained and
166 not depending on an external archive.
168 * All include statements now look for mts.h in h/. The
169 Makefiles and configure script have been modified so that
170 mts/generic is no longer built.
172 Mon Dec 11 22:08:07 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
174 * When Shantonu made the new libmts.a, he swapped $(MTSLIB) and
175 libmh.a in sbr/Makefile.in so that libmh.a comes first, but this
176 causes the build to fail on Solaris, because libmts.a has to get
177 ruserpass() out of libmh.a. Swapping them back to the way Ken
178 Hornstein's patch (which I applied on Jul 20) put them, with
179 libmh.a correctly coming second. If there are times when libmts.a
180 needs to come second, then it would appear there's a circular
181 dependency and someone (Shantonu?) did an mts merge incorrectly.
183 Fri Sep 8 01:36:23 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
185 * Took out bad time textual time zones like BST and JST.
186 I found them online somewhere, but am not sure if they're
189 Fri Sep 8 00:36:48 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
191 * Moved zotnet/mts to mts/generic. This code reorganization
192 makes the entire zotnet tree deprecated -- bboards is unneeded,
193 mf was was moved to sbr, tws was rewritten and moved to sbr, and
196 * Created a new static library called libmts.a used during
197 compilation which includes the generic mts code and the
198 smtp/sendmail code. This supercedes the functionality of the
199 old libsmtp.a and the remains of libzot.a.
201 * Updated header includes to reference the new location of mts.h
202 in mts/generic/mts.h. Also, update the configure and top-level
203 Makefile not to descend into zotnet. Also, they don't descend
204 into mts/mmdf and mts/sendmail (the sendmail code has been
205 merged into the smtp code).
207 * Added #include <h/nmh.h> to h/md5.h, since my compile was
208 complaining about implicitly-declared memcpy and memset, which
209 appear to be in strings.h. In any event, nmh.h should take care
212 * When doing a "make nmhdist", notice that the generated
213 snapshot does not include zotnet of the mts directories as noted
214 above. Since they are no longer compiled, and I don't see any
215 obvious code path to get to them, end-users should probably
216 not need them. If you think otherwise, turn Makefile generation
217 back on in configure.in and turn on recursion into those dirs
218 in the appropriate Makefile.in
220 Wed Sep 6 22:40:03 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
222 * Tracked down the problem in the new dtimep where time
223 zones were being radically misreported. It was because the
224 parser knew about military time zones (such as M or E) but in
225 some cases did not know about the textual representation of
226 some zones (like MET). When it encountered one of these, the
227 date parser misread MET as the military time zone T (well, first
228 zone M, then E, and finally T). I took military zones out, and
229 things seem much better. Also, the default behavior of parsing
230 time zones appears to default to GMT in the absence of better
231 info, which is less bogus than assuming the mail came from the
232 current time zone, which was the behavior in 1.04.
234 Thu Aug 10 13:22:13 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
236 * Decided that limiting the message number columns to 3 on my
237 scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
238 extra date info) was ill-conceived. It's not that tough to get
239 past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
240 9999. Changed these to 4. Also put the "replied / encrypted"
241 column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
242 space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
243 (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
244 -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
246 Mon Aug 7 20:11:09 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
248 * Modify umask set by mhshow to enable user execute bit, so that
249 viewers that create temporary directories (e.g., lynx) will be
252 Thu Aug 03 17:14:08 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
254 * TODO: Allow multiple simultaneous differing contexts, probably
255 each tied to a parent (terminal) process.
257 Tue Aug 1 10:48:05 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
259 * Makefile install rules should not look for generated files in
260 the source tree -- this will happen to work when configuring and
261 building inside the source tree but will fail when using an
262 external build tree. Fixed etc/Makefile.in.
264 Mon Jul 24 16:20:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
266 * When Shantonu wrote the new, more portable dtimep.lex, he left
267 out the #ifdef DSTXXX stuff for some reason. Not a good idea, as
268 that code is required for proper printing of numeric-offset
269 timezones that have daylight saving time. Without that code,
270 -0700 during DST gets printed as MST instead of PDT.
272 * Renamed DSTXXX as ADJUST_NUMERIC_ONLY_TZ_OFFSETS_WRT_DST and
273 added an explanatory comment by its #definition.
275 * Updated README.developers with the fact that zotnet/tws is going away.
277 Thu Jul 20 20:30:52 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
279 * Moved Kimmo's new "--with-hash-backup" to be output with the
280 rest of the --with options in the configure --help output. Also,
281 people did not preserve my alphabetization of the --with options
282 when they added new ones. Re-alphabetized.
284 * One more pass at README.developers now that it's clear that my
285 previously-suggested one-line autoconf-file commit can cause
286 unnecessary local makes and an out-of-sync stamp-h.in file, but
287 would not cause problems for other people using the CVS files.
289 * Ken Hornstein's SASL patch was not integrated properly with
290 Ruud's new merged mts/sendmail code. Kimmo has since fixed nmh so
291 it compiles, but according to Ken, the SASL stuff still does not
292 work. Integrating a patch from him for this.
294 * Last pass at README.developers -- Kimmo's 5-step commit was
295 overkill. You only need 3 steps, since configure.in is the only
296 autoconf file with the RCS $Id keyword.
298 * Applied Kurt J. Lidl <lidl@eng.us.uu.net>'s $MAILHOST patch:
300 I have a small patch that would be nice to be included --
301 basically, it allows the usage of the "MAILHOST" environment
302 variable, without having to have HESIOD turned on. I need
303 this functionality for my environment, where we have identical
304 /usr/local on all my machines (so I cannot just hardcode into
305 the mts.conf file), and I have multiple POP mail servers for
308 Modified inc.man to reflect that along with "pophost:" and -host,
309 $MAILHOST can now activate POP mail inclusion as well.
311 * Fixed warnings from diff on first-time install of nmh. Also
312 added 'echo's clarifying the etc file installation activities.
314 Tue Jul 18 19:36:59 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
316 * Added the answer to Dan's question in README.developers.
318 Mon Jul 17 19:10:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
320 * Clarified and made some corrections to Kimmo's README.developers
321 changes (BTW, if anyone can explain why the RCS Ids are able to cause
322 problems with the dependencies, please fill in the explanation --
323 I never encountered a problem with the old single-commit method).
325 Sat Jul 15 23:13:49 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
327 * Add configure option --with-hash-backup so the backup prefix can
328 be easily changed from "," to "#".
330 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that it works with any make.
332 * Use mkstemp in sbr/lock_file.c.
334 * Commits of autoconf-related files apparently can't all be done
335 in one shot due to RCS Ids changing when committing -- updated
338 Tue Jul 11 14:18:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
340 * Clarified post.man and send.man for those not completely up on
341 SASL terminology. "SASL encryption layers are not supported for
342 SMTP" means that encryption is supported for the authentication
343 but not for the subsequent data stream.
345 Sat Jul 8 01:36:19 EDT 2000 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>
347 * Applied Ken Hornstein <kenh@cmf.nrl.navy.mil>'s patches
348 implementing SASL support for POP3 and SMTP. If nmh is compiled
349 with SASL support, using the -sasl switch on the inc, msgchk,
350 post, and send commands will enable authentication encryption for
351 SMTP, and both authentication and data stream encryption for POP3.
353 Sat Jun 10 18:37:59 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
355 * Merged mts/sendmail functionality into mts/smtp; switching between
356 smtp and sendmail delivery method is now controlled by mts.conf.
358 * If tsort cannot deal with loops, in addition to defining tsort as
359 cat, also define lorder as echo.
361 * Removed uip/popi.c from list of sources.
363 Thu Jun 08 19:36:57 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
365 * New dtimep.lex didn't parse day names properly. Fixed. Also
366 clarified ambiguous comments preceding day_map[] array (from old
367 dtimep.lex) that probably led to the erroneous cp++ being added.
369 Wed Jun 7 20:52:33 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
371 * Added one more mkstemp invocation to uip/spost.c (which was in a
374 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to clean up permissions handling
375 and error handling in uip/inc.c.
377 Mon Jun 5 22:10:07 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
379 * Use cat instead of tsort if tsort cannot deal with loops in its
380 input (which is the case for tsort from GNU textutils).
382 Mon Jun 5 21:14:36 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
384 * If lockfile is present, and its dotlockfile program is setgid,
385 inc does not need to be setgid.
387 Sun Jun 4 21:35:40 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
389 * Added autoconf test for Miquel van Smoorenburg's liblockfile
390 library, as found on Debian systems.
392 * Added liblockfile support to sbr/lock_file.c.
394 Wed May 31 7:19:30 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
396 * Fixed up dtimep.lex a bit. Added back memory options for AIX to
397 increase available memory. Took out %option noyywrap, which
398 wasn't understood by AT&T lex, as well as the -i
399 case-insensitivity flag.
401 Wed May 31 07:40:45 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
403 * Added a lint target to the Makefiles and a check in autoconf
404 to determine whether lint or lclint exists on the system.
406 Fri May 30 19:21:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
408 * etc/Makefile.in was incorrectly installing mts.conf.in and
409 sendfiles.in -- fixed. Generated sendfiles script was not a
410 dependency of the `all' target, and was incorrectly included in
411 the distribution. Changed the suffix for the backed-up previous
412 versions of the etc files from the ambiguous .old to .prev. Added
413 call to diff -- only keep the .prev files around if different from
414 the newly-installed versions (intentionally didn't redirect output
415 to /dev/null so you'll notice when your changed versions are
416 getting moved aside).
418 * INSTALL never documented the etc/*.old thing. Documented the
419 new etc/*.prev thing (including a note to watch for diff output).
421 * Applied Alec Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu>'s dropsbr.c patch:
423 In the map_write routine, a call is made to map_open and this
424 call is supposed to set the "clear" variable to 0 or 1,
425 depending on whether the map file is empty or not. In
426 mh6.8.3, this worked because map_open would set "clear" by
427 calling the mbx_Xopen routine. In nmh, the code for mbx_Xopen
428 was merged into mbx_open, but the interface for mbx_open
429 doesn't support the clear variable, so that functionality was
430 lost. The map_open interface still contains "int *clear" in
431 the prototype, but never sets it.
433 My patch eliminates "clear" from the map_open interface (I
434 checked to make sure that map_write is the only client of
435 map_open). Furthermore, my patch also sets the "clear"
436 variable properly at the beginning of map_write by calling
437 fstat(). This eliminates the bug in that the value of "clear"
438 being used later in the routine was just stack garbage.
440 Having a bad value of clear causes this next bug to be
441 triggered: The fp file pointer was being opened with fdopen,
442 but in two of the three switch cases it wasn't being closed.
443 In certain cases, this was causing packf to run out of file
444 descriptors if you attempted to pack a large folder.
446 Mon May 29 7:48:15 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
448 * Moved the date parsing routines from zotnet/tws to sbr/ (and
449 tws.h to h/). Updated all source files to reflect to new location
452 * Rewrote dparsetime (in dtimep.lex -> dtimep.c) to replace the
453 old zotnet/tws/dtimep.c, dtimep.lex, lexstring.c, lexedit.c, and
454 dtimep.c-lexed. It should now work with flex (although untested
455 with lex), and requires no sed-ing. For now, I have the lexed
456 version in the distribution, so that end-users don't need to worry
457 about running it through flex/lex. I have not added back support
458 for guessing the time zone when it's not specified.
460 Sun May 28 17:44:15 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
462 * Added autoconf check for getutent().
464 * Changed uip/rcvtty.c and uip/slocal.c to use getutent() and
465 friends. Since I can only check on Linux, please check if
466 this works on other systems.
468 Sun May 28 14:58:49 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
470 * Applied patch from Peter Maydell to uip/scansbr.c for more
471 checks for write failures.
473 * Unlink temporary file properly in uip/rcvtty.c.
475 * Moved viamail from bindir to libdir.
477 * Changed sendfiles into sendfiles.in, so that path to viamail
480 * Added gzip support to sendfiles.
482 * Added References header to replcomps and replgroupcomps.
484 Sun May 28 14:39:31 CEST 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
486 * Fixed m_getfld bug which caused segmentation faults when
487 incorporating messages which ended in multiple linefeeds crossing
490 Fri May 26 13:21:59 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
492 * msh has been unable to show MIME messages ever since 1.0. Alec
493 Wolman <wolman@cs.washington.edu> tracked down the problem to the
494 -show flag being passed to mhshow. mhshow is equivalent to the
495 old mhn -show, so we don't need the -show anymore. Removed it.
497 Fri May 12 02:51:21 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
499 * zotnet/bboards is not longer built by default. Goal is to move
500 the assorted functions in zotnet into sbr or some more logical
503 * Moved zotnet/mf to sbr, and changed mf.h references accordingly,
504 as well as Makefiles.
506 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
508 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
509 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
510 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
511 should make maintainability easier.
513 * Added section to MACHINES indicating what platforms nmh is known
514 to compile and work on, just to give users peace of mind, or
515 something. This is by no means complete or exhaustive, so add
516 whatever you know works.
518 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
520 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
521 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
522 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
524 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
525 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
526 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
527 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
529 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
530 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
531 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
533 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
534 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
535 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
536 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
537 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
539 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
540 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
541 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
542 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
543 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
544 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
545 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
546 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
547 from the BSD version.
549 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
550 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
551 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
553 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
556 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
559 This happens on solaris:
562 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
563 No manual entry for mts.conf.
567 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
569 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
570 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
572 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
574 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
575 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
576 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
577 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
578 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
579 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
580 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
581 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
582 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
583 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
584 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
586 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
587 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
588 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
589 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
590 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
591 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
594 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
595 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
596 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
597 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
598 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
600 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
601 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
603 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
605 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
606 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
607 to stdin, such as exmh.
609 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
610 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
611 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
614 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
616 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
617 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
618 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
619 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
620 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
621 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
622 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
624 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
626 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
627 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
629 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
631 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
632 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
634 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
636 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
639 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
640 along with any -host or -user option.
642 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
644 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
646 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
647 process was fresh in my mind.
649 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
651 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
652 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
654 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
656 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
658 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
661 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
662 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
663 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
664 part of the program's name.
666 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
667 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
670 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
672 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
673 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
674 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
675 single-character format would cause programs using this
676 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
677 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
678 when the format string was one character. This eventually
679 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
682 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
684 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
685 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
686 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
687 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
688 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
689 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
691 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
692 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
693 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
694 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
695 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
696 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
697 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
698 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
700 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
701 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
702 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
703 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
704 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
705 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
706 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
707 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
708 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
709 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
711 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
713 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
714 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
716 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
717 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
719 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
724 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
726 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
727 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
728 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
729 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
731 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
732 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
733 problem in the routine.
735 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
737 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
738 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
740 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
741 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
742 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
745 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
747 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
748 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
749 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
750 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
751 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
752 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
753 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
754 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
755 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
756 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
758 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
760 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
761 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
762 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
763 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
764 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
765 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
766 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
767 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
768 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
769 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
770 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
771 interesting than a duplication of the default.
773 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
774 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
775 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
776 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
777 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
779 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
782 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
784 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
785 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
786 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
787 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
790 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
792 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
794 * Applied, after some finessing,
795 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
797 Here's a patch that allows you to add
799 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
801 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
802 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
803 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
804 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
806 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
808 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
809 forgetting to do so!).
811 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
812 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
813 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
814 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
815 arguments to enable all three types.
817 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
818 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
820 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
821 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
822 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
823 updated copy of mts.conf.
825 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
827 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
828 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
829 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
831 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
833 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
835 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
836 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
837 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
839 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
840 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
841 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
843 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
844 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
845 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
847 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
849 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
851 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
853 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
855 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
856 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
858 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
859 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
860 certain suffix to run properly.
862 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
863 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
864 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
866 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
867 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
868 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
869 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
870 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
871 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
872 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
874 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
876 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
877 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
878 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
879 until some year far in the future).
881 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
883 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
885 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
886 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
888 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
889 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
892 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
894 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
895 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
896 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
897 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
898 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
899 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
901 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
903 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
905 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
906 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
907 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
909 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
910 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
911 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
912 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
913 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
914 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
917 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
918 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
919 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
920 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
921 of masquerading individually.
923 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
924 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
925 GECOS field delimiters.
927 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
929 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
930 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
931 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
932 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
933 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
934 and explaining the feature.
936 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
938 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
939 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
942 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
943 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
944 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
946 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
947 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
948 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
949 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
951 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
952 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
953 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
956 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
958 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
961 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
963 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
965 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
966 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
967 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
968 quotes embedded in them.
970 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
972 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
973 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
974 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
975 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
976 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
977 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
978 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
981 The other theory is that because you can say something like
982 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
983 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
984 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
985 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
987 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
989 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
991 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
992 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
993 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
994 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
996 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
999 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
1001 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
1003 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1005 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
1006 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
1007 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
1009 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
1012 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1014 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
1015 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
1016 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
1017 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
1018 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
1019 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
1021 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
1022 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
1024 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1026 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
1029 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1031 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
1032 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
1033 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
1036 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
1037 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
1038 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
1039 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
1040 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
1041 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
1042 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
1043 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
1044 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
1045 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
1046 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
1047 processing that post has).
1049 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1051 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
1052 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
1053 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
1054 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
1055 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
1056 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
1059 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1061 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
1063 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
1065 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
1067 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
1068 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
1070 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
1073 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1075 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
1076 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
1077 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
1080 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1082 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
1083 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
1084 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
1085 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
1086 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
1087 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
1089 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1091 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
1093 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1095 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
1096 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
1097 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
1098 caught again. This works for now.
1100 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
1102 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1104 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
1105 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
1107 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1109 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
1110 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
1112 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
1114 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
1116 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1118 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
1119 changes. Both need more cleanup.
1121 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1123 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
1124 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
1125 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
1126 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
1127 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
1130 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1132 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
1133 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
1134 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
1136 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
1137 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
1140 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1142 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
1143 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
1144 to a directory on another device with more free space.
1146 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1148 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
1149 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
1151 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
1153 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
1156 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
1157 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
1159 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
1160 macros, regardless of platform.
1162 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
1163 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1165 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
1166 with x-conversions=gzip.
1168 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1170 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
1173 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
1174 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
1175 implicit definition of ioctl().
1177 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
1178 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
1179 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
1180 want to mess with them.
1182 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1184 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
1185 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
1187 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
1188 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1190 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
1191 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
1192 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
1194 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
1195 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
1196 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
1198 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
1199 function initgroups.
1201 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
1204 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
1205 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
1208 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
1209 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
1212 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
1213 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
1217 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1219 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
1220 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
1221 preventing compilation on at least linux.
1223 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
1224 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
1226 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1228 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
1230 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
1231 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
1232 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
1233 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
1235 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
1236 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
1238 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1240 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
1242 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1244 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
1245 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
1247 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
1249 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
1250 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
1252 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
1253 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
1254 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
1255 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
1257 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
1258 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
1260 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1262 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
1263 substitute it for mktemp if available.
1265 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
1267 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
1268 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
1271 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1273 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
1275 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
1277 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
1278 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1280 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
1281 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
1282 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
1284 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
1285 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
1286 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
1288 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
1289 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
1290 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1292 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
1293 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
1296 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
1297 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1299 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
1300 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1302 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
1303 <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
1305 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
1306 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
1307 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1309 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
1310 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
1312 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
1313 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
1314 <elleron@servtech.com>.
1316 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
1317 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
1320 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
1321 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
1323 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
1324 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
1325 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
1326 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
1328 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
1329 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
1331 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1335 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
1336 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
1337 would not be changed.
1339 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
1340 one from the Apache web server.
1342 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
1343 (this should have been done a long time ago).
1345 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
1346 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
1347 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
1349 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
1351 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
1353 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
1354 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
1357 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
1358 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
1359 removes a bad race condition.
1361 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
1364 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
1365 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
1366 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
1368 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
1369 sequence information.
1371 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
1372 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
1374 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
1377 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
1380 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
1382 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
1383 interpret 034 as octal.
1385 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
1387 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
1388 mhstore, and mhbuild.
1390 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
1391 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
1393 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
1394 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
1396 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
1397 in the c_cefile structure when building.
1399 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
1400 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
1402 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
1403 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
1404 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
1406 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
1407 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
1408 and mhshow. Updated man pages
1410 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
1412 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
1414 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
1415 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
1418 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
1420 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
1421 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
1423 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
1424 header field information.
1426 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
1427 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
1429 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
1430 values when parsing a content.
1432 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
1433 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
1435 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
1436 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
1438 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
1439 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1441 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
1442 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
1444 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
1446 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
1448 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
1450 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
1452 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
1453 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
1456 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
1457 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
1459 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
1460 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
1461 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
1462 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
1463 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
1464 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
1467 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1469 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
1470 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
1471 buffer length checks for this parameter.
1473 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
1474 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
1476 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
1478 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
1479 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
1480 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
1481 of the limits on the length of command lines.
1483 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
1484 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
1487 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
1488 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
1489 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
1490 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
1493 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1495 * Released nmh-0.27.
1497 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
1498 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
1500 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
1501 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
1502 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
1503 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
1506 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
1507 mhbuild returns an error.
1509 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1510 rename the draft file.
1512 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1513 use a global variable.
1515 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1516 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1518 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1519 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1521 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1522 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1523 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1525 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1526 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1528 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1529 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1532 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1533 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1536 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1537 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1539 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1540 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1541 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1543 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1544 to new function output_content_folder.
1546 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1547 new function output_content_file.
1549 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1550 to new function parse_format_string.
1552 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1553 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1554 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1555 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1557 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1558 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1559 message/external file from ftp.
1561 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1562 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1563 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1565 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1566 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1569 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1572 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1573 new file mhstoresbr.c
1575 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1578 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1579 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1581 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1582 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1584 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1585 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1586 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1588 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1590 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1592 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1593 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1596 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1597 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1599 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1602 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1604 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1606 * Released nmh-0.26.
1608 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1609 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1610 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1611 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1613 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1614 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1615 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1616 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1617 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1619 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1620 But it is not on by default.
1622 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1623 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1625 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1627 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1629 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1631 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1633 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1634 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1636 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1638 * Released nmh-0.25.
1640 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1641 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1642 uses the original name of the library.
1644 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1645 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1648 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1649 list_content and list_debug.
1651 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1653 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1654 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1656 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1658 * Released nmh-0.24.
1660 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.

1672 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1674 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1675 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1676 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1677 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1679 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1680 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1683 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1685 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1687 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1689 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1690 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1692 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1693 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1695 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1696 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1698 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)

1720 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1721 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1723 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1725 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1726 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1727 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1729 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1730 source message on the standard input.
1732 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1734 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1735 rather than -rfc934mode.
1737 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1738 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1741 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1742 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).

1747 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1749 * Released nmh-0.21.
1751 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1752 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1754 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1757 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1758 to use for text contents.
1760 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1762 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1764 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1766 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1768 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1769 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1771 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1772 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1773 spaces between encoded word are.
1775 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1777 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1778 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1780 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1781 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1782 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1784 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1786 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1787 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1789 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1791 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.

1794 ISO-8859-X character set.
1796 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1799 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1800 permissions, not write permissions.
1802 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1803 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1805 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1808 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1810 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1812 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1813 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1815 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1816 message contains valid character set.
1818 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1819 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1821 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1822 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1824 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1825 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1826 between an encoded word and normal text.
1828 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1829 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1831 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1832 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1834 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1837 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1838 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1841 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1842 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1844 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1845 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1847 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1849 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1851 * Released nmh-0.20.
1853 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1855 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.

1858 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1859 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1861 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1862 and the To: line was missing.
1864 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1866 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1868 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1870 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1871 watch the POP transaction.
1873 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1874 first, and use it if available.
1876 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1877 first, and use it if available.
1879 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1881 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1883 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1884 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1885 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1888 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1889 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1890 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1892 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1893 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1896 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1898 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1899 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1901 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1903 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1904 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1906 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1907 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1908 message to which you are replying.
1910 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1911 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1912 making group replies.
1914 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1916 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1918 * Released nmh-0.19.
1920 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1921 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1923 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1924 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1925 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1926 to the end of the man page.
1928 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1929 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1930 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1931 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1932 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1933 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1935 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1938 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1939 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1940 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1942 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1943 the next available number above the message number you wish
1946 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1947 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1949 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1950 file sbr/seq_print.c
1952 * flist will now update the current folder.
1954 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1955 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1956 but now undocumented.
1958 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1961 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1962 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1964 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1966 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1967 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1969 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1971 * Released nmh-0.18.
1973 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1974 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1975 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1977 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1978 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1980 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1981 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1982 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1983 previous public/private status.
1985 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1988 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1991 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1992 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1993 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1995 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1996 take option to determine whether it should get current
1997 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1998 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
2000 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
2002 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
2003 wait for stopped processes.
2005 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
2006 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
2008 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2010 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
2012 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
2013 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
2015 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
2016 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
2018 * Change the way that memory for message status is
2019 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
2020 the folder/message structure. This required changing
2021 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
2023 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
2026 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
2029 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
2031 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
2032 the debugging output.
2034 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
2035 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
2037 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2039 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
2041 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
2042 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
2044 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
2046 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
2047 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
2048 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
2049 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
2050 in the given sequence.
2052 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
2053 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
2054 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
2055 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
2056 subdirectories of a given directory.
2058 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
2059 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
2060 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
2062 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
2063 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
2065 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
2067 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
2070 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
2071 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
2072 fields are now calculated at runtime.
2074 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
2075 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
2076 are calculated at runtime.
2078 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2080 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
2082 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
2083 about checking for global mh.profile.
2085 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
2086 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
2087 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
2088 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
2089 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
2090 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
2092 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
2093 adding message to folder itself.
2095 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
2096 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
2097 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
2100 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
2101 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
2104 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
2105 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
2106 is the same as the direct smtp code).
2108 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
2109 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
2111 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
2112 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
2113 code to use it yet).
2115 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2117 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
2119 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
2120 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
2122 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
2123 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
2125 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
2127 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
2130 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2132 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
2134 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
2136 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
2138 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
2139 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
2141 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
2143 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
2145 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
2147 * Removed all the code for BERK.
2149 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
2151 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
2152 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
2154 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
2155 configuration files.
2157 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
2159 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2161 * Released nmh-0.17.
2163 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
2165 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
2166 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
2168 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
2171 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
2172 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
2174 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
2175 number of refiled message.
2177 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
2179 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
2180 for return value of wait().
2182 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
2184 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2186 * Released nmh-0.16.
2188 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2190 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
2192 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
2193 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
2194 deal with binary messages, yet).
2196 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
2198 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
2200 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
2201 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
2202 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
2203 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
2204 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
2205 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
2207 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
2208 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
2210 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
2211 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
2213 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
2214 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
2217 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
2219 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
2221 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
2222 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
2225 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
2228 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
2230 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
2231 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
2232 which used unsigned chars by default.
2234 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2236 * Released nmh-0.15.
2238 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
2239 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
2241 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
2243 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
2245 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
2248 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
2249 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
2250 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
2252 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
2253 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
2255 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
2257 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
2258 they conflict with defines on AIX.
2260 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
2261 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
2262 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
2263 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
2265 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
2266 and put in own subroutine.
2268 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
2269 and put in own subroutine.
2271 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
2272 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
2273 refile.c to use new routine.
2275 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2277 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
2279 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
2282 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
2283 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
2284 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
2286 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
2289 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
2290 adding message to sequence.
2292 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
2293 corresponding file in sbr.
2295 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
2298 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
2300 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
2301 all selected messages from a sequence.
2303 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all
2304 selected messages to a sequence.

2400 will suppress the display of the message header.
2402 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
2404 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

2421 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
2423 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
2424 folder/message structure when done with folder.
2426 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

2489 * Released nmh-0.08.
2491 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
2492 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

2500 mbox (uucp) format rather than be determined by RPATHS config
2503 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
2504 rather than mmdf format.
2506 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
2507 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
2508 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with
2509 RPATHS, rather than being discarded.
2511 * rcvpack no longer adds the Delivery-Date field to messages.
2513 Sun Feb 23 22:03:54 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2515 * Removed the script packmbox, since it's functionality has been
2518 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2519 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2520 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2522 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2523 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2526 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2528 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2529 can still easily change this in config.h).
2531 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2532 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2533 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2535 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2537 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2552 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2554 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2555 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2558 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2559 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2572 * Released nmh-0.06.
2574 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2575 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2577 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2578 many such machines around anymore.
2580 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2581 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2583 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2584 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2586 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2588 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2589 pre-generated version if necessary.
2591 * Released nmh-0.05.
2593 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2594 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2595 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2596 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2598 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2599 be linked in one pass.
2601 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2603 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2604 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2606 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2608 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2610 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2612 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2613 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2614 become the current folder.
2616 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2618 * Released nmh-0.04.

2623 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2625 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2626 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2627 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2629 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2631 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2632 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2634 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2636 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2637 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2640 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2641 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2643 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2645 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2646 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2647 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2648 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2649 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2650 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2652 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2654 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2655 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2657 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2658 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2660 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2662 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2663 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2665 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2667 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2668 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2669 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2671 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2673 * Released nmh-0.03.
2675 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2676 .mh_sequence file existed.
2678 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2679 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2681 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2682 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2685 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2687 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2690 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2692 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2693 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2694 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2696 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2698 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2699 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2700 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2702 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2704 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2705 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2707 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2709 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2711 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2712 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2713 directory from where the source code is located.
2715 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2717 * Released nmh-0.02.

2737 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2738 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2739 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2740 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2741 rather than in script.
2743 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2745 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2747 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with
2748 macro defined on Solaris.

2752 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2753 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2755 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2756 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2757 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2758 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2761 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2763 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2764 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2766 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2769 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2771 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2773 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2778 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2779 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2781 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2783 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2784 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2785 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2786 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2787 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2788 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2790 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2792 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2794 * Released nmh-0.01.
2796 * Added configure code to check for type of signals functions
2797 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2798 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2801 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2803 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2806 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2808 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2809 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2811 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2813 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2814 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2815 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2816 script to find_program.
2818 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2820 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2821 speed up -recurse option.
2823 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2824 yet, but it compiles :-)
2826 * Changed default location for install to
2827 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2828 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2829 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2832 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2833 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2834 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
