1 Thu May 11 02:21:34 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
3 * Simplified sbr/Makefile.in so that both SRCS and OBJS aren't
4 seperately and redundantly defined, but so that OBJS is a
5 pattern-substituted version of SRCS with suffix .c -> .o. This
6 should make maintainability easier.
8 Tue May 09 20:38:04 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
10 * Alphabetized Shantonu's $pop_kinds output on configure's "pop is
11 enabled" line. If POP3 is the only kind of POP enabled, say so,
12 rather than just saying "yes" (which is ambiguous).
14 * Fixed four warnings in Shantonu's new getpass.c. Needed to
15 #include <stdlib.h> for calloc(), <unistd.h> for ttyname(), and
16 "h/mh.h" for adios(). Also changed ch from char to int to get rid
17 of "comparison is always 1 due to limited range of data type" on EOF.
19 * Added steps to README.developers saying to change the version
20 number to X.Y.Z+dev. Did a little rearranging and changed the FTP
21 dir from /home/ftp to /var/ftp to reflect Doug's new machine.
23 * Changed configure.in to use gcc -Wall even without
24 --enable-debug, to prevent developers compiling optimized from
25 introducing warnings, and to give end-users a warm, fuzzy feeling
26 as they (hopefully) see no warnings come out (except perhaps on
27 the lex output file) even with -Wall.
29 * Renamed getpass() to nmh_getpass() since the prototype for
30 getpass() varies from OS to OS, and we want to _always_ use our
31 version of the function. Fixed all the callers to use
32 nmh_getpass() and added it to prototypes.h. Semi-arbitrarily
33 upped MAX_PASSWORD_LEN from 128 to 256. buf was being calloc()'d
34 and the memory leaked -- should have just been declared as static
35 char array. Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the
36 copyright message, as this version has been changed significantly
39 * Added "nmh-local functions to use in preference to OS versions"
40 section to README.developers (currently just says to use
41 nmh_getpass() instead of system getpass()).
43 * Prepended "Portions of this code are" to the copyright message
46 * Added mts.conf.5 page per Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s
49 This happens on solaris:
52 windex entry incorrect: mts.conf(5) not found.
53 No manual entry for mts.conf.
57 % echo ".so man5/mh-tailor.5" > mts.conf.5
59 done in the man5 directory. We need to add 'mts.conf.5' as a
60 reference sourcing mh-tailor.5.
62 Mon May 08 23:51:55 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
64 * Doug informed me that the way I had restored the "lost" version
65 histories was wrong, because `cvs checkout's of old versions of
66 nmh wouldn't work properly. It occurs to me that this could be
67 fixed by simply deleting those tags in the new-location *,v files,
68 but oh well. I'm putting everything back to the way Doug
69 originally had it. To get the old version history for a file that
70 used to be in the top directory, you'll need to "blindly" do a
71 `cvs log' there (even though you won't have a local copy of the
72 file in that directory). `cvs diff' will no longer be able to
73 diff pre-move versions vs. post-move versions -- you'll have to do
74 a lot of manual gyrations with `cvs checkout' and then use `diff'.
76 * I had alphabetized the --configure options in the --help output
77 awhile back, but Shantonu added --enable-apop just under
78 --enable-pop. Put it in alphabetical order and clarified what
79 --enable-apop does vs. --enable-pop and --with-krb4. Also changed
80 --with-mts help line from "mail transport agent" to "mail
81 transport agent/service" so the 's' in "mts" doesn't seem to come
84 * Added two steps to "releasing nmh" in README.developers. After
85 making the tarball, it's a good idea to diff the tree vs. the CVS
86 tree to make sure no files got left out, and then to chown the
87 files so that they're owned by root, preventing a Trojaning attack
88 by a malicious remote user with a UID matching yours.
90 * Changed DIFFERENCES to say that RPOP is not currently supported
91 rather than implying it by saying that APOP, KPOP, and POP[3] are.
93 Sun May 07 18:16:43 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
95 * Imported NetBSD version of getpass() and made extensive
96 revisions for compatibility with programs that pipe the password
97 to stdin, such as exmh.
99 * Removed tests for system ruserpass() which sometimes gave
100 phantom positive results. Also, bext to use internal functions if
101 we ever want to change .netrc format to something else, or access
104 Sat May 06 08:28:09 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
106 * Restored lost version histories for those moved files by doing a
107 manual `mv' in the CVSROOT on mhost. CVS badly needs a `cvs mv'
108 command so that you can move files (without having physical access
109 to the CVSROOT) without losing versioning. Put MACHINES back at
110 the top level as it needs to be read before building. Fixed DIST
111 variable in {.,docs}/Makefile.in to reflect that and to add
112 missing entry for "INSTALL" file.
114 Sat May 06 13:13:07 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
116 * Re-cleaned up nmh documentation (by moving things to docs
117 subdir) and modified Makefile & configure.in to handle the change.
119 Mon Apr 17 21:28:40 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
121 * Scott Blachowicz pointed out that the configure --help output
122 for --enable-masquerade was misleading. Clarified.
124 Mon Apr 17 19:01:00 2000 Shantonu Sen <ssen@mit.edu>
126 * APOP support can be compiled in to inc and msgchk using
129 * To access an APOP host, specify -apop on the command line
130 along with any -host or -user option.
132 Fri Apr 14 23:10:44 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
134 * Upped the version number to 1.0.4+dev until the next nmh release.
136 * Added a "releasing nmh" section to README.developers, while the
137 process was fresh in my mind.
139 Fri Apr 14 18:21:34 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
141 * Added new files README.developers, ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6, and
142 ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html to DIST target in Makefile.in.
144 * Released nmh-1.0.4.
146 Tue Apr 11 21:37:03 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
148 * Applied Brian Campbell <bacam@tardis.ed.ac.uk>'s mhn.defaults.sh
151 It appears that there shouldn't be quotes around the %s in the
152 iso-8859-1 charset entry; xterm passes the remaining arguments
153 to the program, quoting them means that xterm thinks they're
154 part of the program's name.
156 This %s isn't the same as the "Insert content subtype" one from
157 mhshow-show-* -- it doesn't come from MIME headers and is safe not
160 Sun Apr 09 13:03:59 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
162 * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
163 format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
164 format characters with an empty item at the end. A
165 single-character format would cause programs using this
166 function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
167 the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
168 when the format string was one character. This eventually
169 caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
172 Thu Apr 06 21:53:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
174 * Richard Coleman threw out a lot of old MH-specific files in nmh.
175 Much of the stuff, indeed, is not worth saving, but there are
176 nuggets that are very worthwhile, and should probably be added
177 back in. Most important, IMHO, are the MH change logs, as they
178 can help answer questions like "Why is this code like this?" or
179 "How long has this been broken?" or "What was this ever used for?"
181 I've added a new file to the nmh tree called
182 ChangeLog_MH-3_to_MH-6.6. It's cobbled together from the
183 mh-6.8.4/papers/mh*/MHCHANGES files. I've re-ordered the entries
184 to go from newest at the top to oldest at the bottom to match the
185 ChangeLog convention. Unfortunately there are no change logs for
186 versions of MH prior to 3 in the MH tar files available at
187 <ftp://ftp.ics.uci.edu/pub/mh>. Also, it appears to me that there
188 are MH-6.6 changes that aren't documented in the logs.
190 I've also added ChangeLog_MH-6.7.0_to_MH-6.8.4.html. This is
191 based on mh-6.8.4/papers/changes/mh-changes.ms. The nroff format
192 and its "catman"-type output are a pain to deal with, but I was
193 loath to throw away the formatting, so I converted the file to
194 HTML. The only actual markup in the body are the "<B>" and "<U>"
195 tags, and "<" and ">" instead of '<' and '>', so it's quite
196 doable to view the file in plain ASCII mode as well. Note that
197 some of the changes this file documents as having been made in
198 MH-6.8.4 may not be present in nmh -- Richard started with 6.8.3
199 and later put in certain 6.8.4 stuff.
201 Wed Apr 05 21:09:28 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
203 * Applied Eric Schnoebelen <eric@cirr.com>'s mhshowsbr.c patch
204 fixing apparent bugs in Dan Winship's new security quoting code:
206 Since upgrading, I've been getting the following errors
207 while attempting to process some MIME messages:
209 (1) Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string
214 (2) line 1/10 (END)Segmentation fault (core dumped)
216 (2) appears to be due to the testing of an unset pointer in
217 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux(). (1) appears to be caused by
218 mis-quoting a filename being handed to the shell in
219 mhshowsbr.c:show_content_aux().
221 Resolving the pointer reference issue in
222 mhshowsbr.c:show_multi_aux() turned up a similar mis-quoting
223 problem in the routine.
225 Tue Mar 28 16:17:39 2000 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
227 * Applied Todd.Miller@courtesan.com's patch to dropsbr.c to
228 prevent core dumping on packf. Here's the note from his message:
230 Since sizeof(buffer) == sizeof(tmpbuffer) packf will dump
231 core on a file w/o a From line with a line >= BUFSIZ.
232 I noticed this because I had a junk file in my mail
235 Fri Mar 17 11:59:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
237 * wesley.craig@umich.edu did not document his previous KPOP patch,
238 so I did so, and asked him to check what I wrote. Unfortunately
239 he didn't notice my misunderstanding of his patch. I wrote that
240 if you #define POPSERVICE "kpop", inc and msgchk will use KPOP
241 exclusively, but if you leave it as "pop3", you can use Wesley's
242 new -kpop switch on a given invocation. Instead, however, -kpop
243 turned out to be necessary on every invocation, and a KPOP user
244 complained. Applied Wesley's new patch, which makes things work
245 like I thought his original patch did. After that, did one more
246 clarifying pass to the documentation in inc.man and msgchk.man.
248 Wed Mar 15 18:45:45 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
250 * When I fixed the long-standing makedir() bugs in January, I had
251 the code call strtoul(..., 0), which I believed to be safe as all
252 modes specified as ASCII constants in the nmh code started with a
253 leading zero (signifying octal), which I did as it would work if
254 internal constants were ever changed to hex. Unfortunately I was
255 unaware of the "Folder-Protect:" .mh_profile entry, which
256 mh-profile.man documents as an octal-only constant, with no
257 leading zero required. I've changed the strtoul() call to an
258 atooi() call and removed the misleading leading zeroes on the
259 ASCII octal constants in the code and man pages. Also changed the
260 "Folder-Protect:" example in the man page to something more
261 interesting than a duplication of the default.
263 * When I added my --enable-masquerade option, you'll note that I
264 didn't make it --enable-nmh-masquerade. I find the --enable-nmh-*
265 options too wordy and I'm not sure why Richard went that route.
266 I've renamed them to just --enable-*, but the old versions will
267 still work as well (they just aren't advertised).
269 * Added a line to the "nmh configuration" output saying whether
272 * Added a new README.developers file. From the file:
274 This file is intended to provide a few tips for anyone doing
275 development on nmh. Developers who learn things "the hard
276 way" about the nmh codebase (as opposed to local info best
277 encoded in a comment) are encouraged to share their wisdom
280 Currently the topics are "autoconf files" and "directory structure".
282 Tue Mar 14 12:41:48 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
284 * Applied, after some finessing,
285 Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s --with-smtpservers patch:
287 Here's a patch that allows you to add
289 --with-smtpservers=<some.host.name>
291 to the ./configure command line to set the "servers: " line in
292 etc/mts.conf. Around here, we use "mailhost" so that all
293 machines in the current domain just talk to a central machine
294 and nothing else runs an MTA. Now, I can use
296 --with-smtpservers=mailhost
298 instead of having to remember to fix this by hand (and often
299 forgetting to do so!).
301 * Inspired by Simon's patch, added an --enable-masquerade option
302 to configure. It will set the "masquerade:" line of mts.conf.
303 You may specify a subset of the three types of masquerading, like
304 --enable-masquerade="draft_from mmailid", or leave off explicit
305 arguments to enable all three types.
307 * Alphabetized the --enable and --with options in configure.in and
308 INSTALL and added documentation of the two new options to the latter.
310 * Added new dependency for mts.conf: Makefile. If this isn't
311 done, then when you reconfigure nmh with new values for
312 --enable-masquerade or --with-smtpservers, you'll fail to get an
313 updated copy of mts.conf.
315 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtimep.lex patch:
317 It seems that some MUA's didn't handle y2k very well - ELM
318 seems to be one of them, and Ultrix's DXmail (based on MH!).
319 I've got a few emails this month that look like:
321 575 Jan 00 Xxxxxx Xxxx 3603 ...
323 22+ Jan 00 Xxx Xxxxx 1771 ...
325 The first has "15 Jan 100" as the date and the second has
326 "19 Jan 00" as the date. The following works around this so
327 that scan, show, sortm, etc work ok.
329 I put Simon's patch under the control of a new #define called
330 FIX_NON_Y2K_COMPLIANT_MUA_DATES. There's some commentary in
331 acconfig.h about when you might not want to #define it.
333 * Created new dtimep.c-lexed with Simon's change using dtimep.lex
334 lexed on Solaris 2.6. Added missing dependency in
335 zotnet/tws/Makefile.in for dtimep.c: dtimep.c-lexed.
337 * Added scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD format files.
339 Mon Mar 13 21:32:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
341 * Applied Sullivan N. Beck <sbeck@cise.ufl.edu>'s mhshow-suffix patch:
343 With the patch below, you can add lines like:
345 mhshow-suffix-application/msword: .doc
346 mhshow-suffix-application/PostScript: .ps
348 to the mhn.defaults file to append the given suffix to a
349 scratch file. This allows applications which require a
350 certain suffix to run properly.
352 * Removed -force_html from lynx entry in mhn.defaults.sh (I
353 believe older versions of lynx lack that option) and added
354 "mhshow-suffix-text/html: .html".
356 * Modified username_extension masquerading to only use the
357 extended address on generated [Resent-]From: lines and SMTP
358 envelope From:. With Neil's original implementation, nmh's global
359 idea of the username was changed, which would result in inc lying
360 and saying you had no new mail because it was looking for a
361 mailbox called, for instance, "dan-nmh" (where username was "dan"
362 and $USERNAME_EXTENSION was "-nmh").
364 * Applied Simon Burge <simonb@thistledown.com.au>'s dtime.c patch:
366 There's a wrap-around problem that affects the implementation
367 of Zeller's congruence in dtime.c. This causes the day-of-week
368 calculations to fail for dates after Feb 29, 2000 (probably up
369 until some year far in the future).
371 Mon Mar 06 12:20:20 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
373 * Applied Neil W Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>'s msh.c patch:
375 I finally tracked down the problem in msh that was causing
376 errors whenever I tried to examine a 'mmdf' style mailbox.
378 It turns out that not enough memory was being allocated with
379 calloc(), causing memory pointers to be overwritten and
382 Fri Mar 03 16:07:33 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
384 * Changed the new "plussed_user" option to mts.conf's
385 "masquerade:" to "username_extension" after getting feedback from
386 qmail users, who use '-' as a separator rather than '+'. Removed
387 checking of $USERPLUS variable. Now check $USERNAME_EXTENSION,
388 which needs to include the appropriate separator for your MTA
389 ('-', '+', or whatever) as its first character.
391 Thu Mar 02 23:04:30 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
393 * Added a new "boolean" type to mh.h and TRUE and FALSE constants.
395 * Added a note to DIFFERENCES stating that it's out-of-date
396 (Richard was the last one to update it) and that we should
397 consider only documenting incompatibilities with MH there.
399 * Implemented (and documented) a third kind of username
400 masquerading: "plussed user" masquerading. This one was suggested
401 by Neil Rickert <rickert+nmh@cs.niu.edu>. It's based on sendmail's
402 "plussed user" feature, where mail sent to <user>+<string> will be
403 delivered to <user>. When it's enabled, it's controlled by the
404 $USERPLUS environment variable. How is it enabled? Well, that
407 * Renamed the "mmailid:" setting in mts.conf to "masquerade:", and
408 changed it so that rather than being a boolean, it can be set to
409 any combination of the three values "draft_from", "mmailid", and
410 "plussed_user". Thus it is now possible to enable the three types
411 of masquerading individually.
413 * Fixed a bug with "mmailid" masquerading (dating back to MH?)
414 where if it was turned on, ','s would no longer be considered
415 GECOS field delimiters.
417 Wed Mar 01 23:30:50 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
419 * Changed the GECOS-field '&' translation behavior to be
420 controlled by the BSD42 #define rather than GCOS_HACK, since it's
421 apparently always appropriate on OSes where BSD42 is #defined, and
422 never appropriate on any other OSes. Thanks to Kimmo Suominen for
423 responding to my "What is this code here for?" comment in mts.c
424 and explaining the feature.
426 Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
428 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3+dev (ideally this should be
429 done by whoever makes a release tar file, immediately after doing
432 * Applied Paul Fox <pgf-spam@foxharp.boston.ma.us>'s scansbr.c
433 patch, posted to comp.mail.mh, which he says prevents loss of mail
434 when inc'ing into a full filesystem.
436 * Changed "echo > stamp-h.in" in Makefile.in to "date > stamp-h.in"
437 so that stamp-h.in will be different each time configure.in and
438 related files are changed, making it easier to check it in (which
439 is necessary to prevent unnecessary autoconf calls).
441 * My declaration of initgroups() in slocal.c to eliminate the "no
442 prototype" warning wasn't portable (FreeBSD 3.[23] choked). Now
443 use AC_EGREP_HEADER to see where initgroups() is declared, if
446 Sun Feb 20 12:17:15 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
448 * Fix security hole in mhshowsbr.c which allowed untrusted shell
451 * Released nmh 1.0.3.
453 Thu Feb 10 10:54:36 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
455 * Oops. %-escapes on mhstore lines in mhn.defaults.sh should not
456 be surrounded by single quotes, as a shell is not spawned when
457 just saving files, and the filenames will end up with literal
458 quotes embedded in them.
460 Fri Feb 04 12:29:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
462 * Whoever originally added the -help switch to all the commands
463 got too cute and had the option itself print out as "-(help)" in
464 the -help output. One theory is that they were making reference
465 to the fact that clearly you know about the -help option since
466 you're currently looking at its output. I think it's a bad idea
467 to overload the meaning of the parentheses, however -- they're
468 supposed to indicate what abbreviated prefix of the switch you're
471 The other theory is that because you can say something like
472 "mhstore -" and get "mhstore: - ambiguous. It matches" followed
473 by the same list of switches you get with -help, they were saying
474 you can "sorta" abbreviate "-help" as "-". You don't get the
475 "Usage:" string, though, so it's not really the same thing.
477 Thu Feb 03 17:52:01 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
479 * Applied wesley.craig@umich.edu's KPOP patches. According to him:
481 The following patch fixes a problem with requesting a
482 service key for a machine that has multiple 'A' records. It
483 also makes "-kpop" a command line option, for users who
484 would like to use both "kpop" and "pop".
486 Did no testing of the new features, as I don't have access to a
489 * Modified inc.man and msgchk.man to document Wesley's new -kpop.
491 * Modified INSTALL and config.h.in to reflect the new -kpop feature.
493 Fri Jan 28 17:39:24 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
495 * All %-escapes in mhn.defaults that actually expand to something
496 should be surrounded by single quotes. Added quotes to the ones
497 in mhn.defaults.sh that were missing them.
499 * Added check for lynx to write mhshow-show-text/html line in
502 Thu Jan 27 12:22:25 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
504 * makedir() had multiple bugs dating back to MH. An octal
505 constant was apparently being interpreted as decimal, resulting in
506 directories with no user read or execute permissions, making
507 nested directory creation fail. And there wasn't even an
508 _attempt_ to set desired permissions (e.g. from "Folder-Protect:"
509 in .mh_profile) on the outer directories of a nested directory.
511 * A second `make install' would always fail because the check for
512 whether mh_profile.5 existed was written incorrectly.
514 Wed Jan 26 02:22:00 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
516 * Added documentation on both types of masquerading to post's man
519 Tue Jan 25 22:58:12 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
521 * Doug's portability fix of my setgid inc autodetection had a
522 caching bug -- if you re-ran configure, uip/Makefile would be
523 corrupted, and installation would bomb out on OSes where inc needs
526 * Implemented a new kind of email address masquerading. Usually,
527 when a user writes a custom "From:" header in a draft, nmh uses it
528 rather than generating one. However, the user's true address is
529 used in the SMTP envelope "From:" and is revealed in the "Sender:"
530 header. Now, when mmailid is set to non-zero, the envelope
531 "From:" uses the address specified in the draft "From:" header,
532 and there is no "Sender:" header. This is useful when sending on
533 behalf of a remote POP3 account or when remote mail robots
534 incorrectly use the envelope "From:" in preference to the body
535 "From:". This processing has only been implemented for post, not
536 for the undocumented spost (which was already missing some "From:"
537 processing that post has).
539 Mon Jan 24 22:26:06 2000 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
541 * Got rid of the rest of the gcc -Wall warnings that I didn't have
542 time for on 1999-07-15 (and, it would seem, some new ones people
543 introduced since then). The primary ones were the warnings that
544 default prototypes were being used for [v]snprintf() and
545 str[n]casecmp(). As of right now, there are _no_ compilation
546 warnings except on dtimep.c-lexed (at least under AIX 4.1.5 and
549 Sun Jan 2 23:42:18 2000 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
551 * Move mhtest from bindir to libdir.
553 * Move sendfiles from libdir to bindir.
555 * Updated sendfiles manpage to reflect this change.
557 * Added documentation for -build and -file switches to repl and
558 forw manpages (patch from Peter Maydell).
560 * Fixed interaction between specifying -cc in profile and -group on
563 Tue Nov 1 13:48:10 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
565 * Changed the version number from 1.0.3 to 1.0.2+dev. There was
566 not unanimous support for my proposed even/odd release/developer
567 version number dichotomy. 1.0.2+dev implies release 1.0.2 plus
570 Fri Oct 29 13:42:51 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
572 * Upped the version number to 1.0.3. If we don't do this, then
573 when people report bugs against 1.0.2, we won't know "which" 1.0.2
574 they're talking about (since the development source is publically
575 available via CVS). I think the Linux kernel version numbers are
576 a good model, so the next time we roll a tarball, it should be
577 version 1.0.4 (or higher -- anyhow, an even-numbered version).
579 Fri Oct 29 06:41:08 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
581 * Released nmh-1.0.2.
583 Tue Oct 26 22:57:00 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
585 * Added check for whether "libtool" is in fact gnu libtool. If
586 it is, it is not used. This is the wrong behavior. If vendor
587 XYZ later on decides to create yet another libtool, we'll be
588 caught again. This works for now.
590 * Minor updates to MACHINES refering to Mac OS X.
592 Thu Oct 21 20:45:37 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
594 * Added check for "libtool" (a ranlib type tool for Mac OS X)
595 and modified Makefiles so that nmh will build under Mac OS X.
597 Sun Oct 17 08:28:56 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
599 * Changed repl defaults to partly revert to MH behaviour,
600 "-cc all" is now only implied with -group.
602 * The replcomps template includes cc: header again (as in MH).
604 * Updated repl man page to reflect these changes.
606 Sat Oct 16 02:57:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
608 * Tweaked configure to handle Solaris and SunOS after the BIND
609 changes. Both need more cleanup.
611 Sat Oct 16 00:17:36 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
613 * Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
614 gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
615 check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
616 do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
617 BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
620 Wed Oct 13 15:53:53 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
622 * Updated manpages Makefile to link mh-profile.5 to
623 mh_profile.5 after installation. Suggestion from Richard Cohen
624 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk>.
626 * Modified configure.in to check for _IO_write_ptr and libio.h
627 to determine whether to define LINUX_STDIO instead of using
630 Mon Oct 4 15:22:46 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
632 * Added '-L' to the calls of 'ls' in configure.in -- I have seen
633 multiple machines in the past where the mail spool was a symlink
634 to a directory on another device with more free space.
636 Fri Oct 1 22:36:56 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
638 * Fixed a portability problem in Doug's fix of a portability
639 problem in my MAILGROUP autoconf support ('ls -l' vs. 'ls -lg').
641 Sat Sep 25 18:40:43 1999 Ruud de Rooij <ruud@ruud.org>
643 * Added config.sub and config.guess to the list of files to be
646 * Fixed bug in sbr/fmt_scan.c where an extra newline would be
647 added if a list of addresses was split over several header lines.
649 * In mts/smtp/smtp.c, undefine strlen and strcpy if they are
650 macros, regardless of platform.
652 * Allow q to quit mhshow, and n to skip to next part. Patch from
653 Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
655 * Modified mhstore to recognize attachments created by sendfiles
656 with x-conversions=gzip.
658 Mon Sep 13 21:20:10 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
660 * added explicit cast to long from time_t for tclock in
663 * Commented out #ifdefs for <sys/ioctl.h> in termsbr.c since
664 it's needed for ioctl() anyway. This prevents a warning about
665 implicit definition of ioctl().
667 * Moved guesses performed by AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM back into the
668 "User Configuration" section of config.h (moved @TOP@ in
669 acconfig.h) so they're easier to find, should someone actually
670 want to mess with them.
672 Sun Sep 12 15:50:34 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
674 * updated Makefile.in so it recognized COMPLETION-TCSH and
675 COMPLETION-ZSH (only used in make nmhdist).
677 * added prototype for ruserpas to <h/prototypes.h>. Fixes
678 warnings in mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
680 * added include checks for <time.h> and <sys/time.h> to
681 prevent warnings in fmt_compile.c, fmt_scan.c, lock_file.c,
682 sendsbr.c, mhbuildsbr.c, mhcachesbr.c, picksbr.c, and post.c.
684 * added include for <zotnet/mts/mts.h> to ali.c, scan.c, ap.c,
685 rcvdist.c, rcvstore.c, rcvtty.c, and spost.c to remove
686 warnings about implicit definition of mts_init().
688 * added <grps.h> to slocal.c to prevent warnings about
691 * added <h/signals.h> to prevent warning about missing SIGNAL
694 * added function prototypes to smtp.c, whatnowproc.c,
695 mhbuildsbr.c, mhparse.c, mshcmds.c, show.c, whatnow.c, mhl.c
698 * explicitly declared mbx_style in mshcmds.c and lused in
699 fmtdump.c as type static int instead of just static to
702 * various code cleanups to prevent ambiguous statements
703 (brackets for if/thens and parens for complicated if
707 Sun Sep 12 09:19:27 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
709 * commented out _cleanup() in mf.c because it's the only
710 location in all of the source code where it exists. It was
711 preventing compilation on at least linux.
713 * Added check for <db1/ndbm.h> which is the new location where
714 linux systems appear to be stuffing this header file.
716 Thu Sep 09 23:15:49 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
718 * fixed varous mkstmep bugs introduced in 1.0.1 by me. Whups!
720 * added mh_profile SEGV patch from Richard Cohen
721 <richard@jubjub.demon.co.uk> that prevents crashing when
722 mh_profile doesn't end in a newline. A similar patch was
723 previously sent in by Andrew Bettison <andrewb@zip.com.au>.
725 * fixed bug in associated with MAILGROUP #define (group "mail"
726 is not universal) -- hard to believe, but true.
728 Tue Sep 7 16:47:03 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
730 * Renamed ZSH.COMPLETION to COMPLETION-ZSH and added COMPLETION-TCSH.
732 Tue Aug 17 16:06:29 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
734 * Automated #define of MAILGROUP and installation of inc as setgid mail
735 when the mail spool directory isn't world-writable.
737 Thu Jul 15 18:37:07 1999 Dan Harkless <dan-nmh@dilvish.speed.net>
739 * slocal -debug used to leave a file in /tmp for each message
740 processed. Very bad for folks with slocal -debug in their .forward!
742 * Got rid of a ton of compilation warnings. Most were "junk"
743 warnings due to the use of gcc -Wall (without -Wno-parentheses),
744 but a few represented real bugs. There remain many warnings to be
745 tackled that are due to missing function prototypes (e.g. snprintf()).
747 * Default rcvdistcomps no longer puts a copy of all outgoing
748 messages in outbox. Added an rcvdistcomps.outbox that does.
750 Sat Jun 09 12:22:47 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
752 * Updated configure to check for mkstemp (available on OpenBSD) and
753 substitute it for mktemp if available.
755 Thu May 13 16:40:19 1999 Doug Morris <doug@mhost.com>
757 * Added config.sub and config.guess and updated acconfig.h and
758 configure.in to automatically detect system type and set the
761 Wed May 12 23:41:33 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
763 * Released nmh-1.0.1.
765 Fri May 7 17:18:28 1999 Dan Winship <danw@mit.edu>
767 * Fixed flist to properly deal with relative folder names.
768 Problem noted by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
770 * Fixed --with-krb4 to work with original Kerberos 4 libraries as
771 well as the Kerberos 5 compat libraries. Based on a patch from
772 Assar Westerlund <assar@sics.se>.
774 * Added a check in configure.in to test if modf is in libc and
775 link with libm if not. This is needed by at least Digital UNIX.
776 Problem pointed out by Kevin Oberman <oberman@es.net>.
778 * Fix a bug from the "mhn -show" to "mhshow" renaming that
779 made the "list" command in whatnow not work for some users.
780 From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
782 * Replaced "extern int errno" with "#include <errno.h>" in a
783 number of files. Suggested by Stephen Wilson Bailey
786 * Fixed a problem in how "packf -mbox" translated "Return-Path:"
787 lines. From Kimmo Suominen <kim@tac.nyc.ny.us>.
789 * Fixed a segmentation fault in inc. Patch originally from Ruud de
790 Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
792 * Allow display of 8bit encoded messages. From Kimmo Suominen
795 * Fixed repl to not add line breaks in the middle of long
796 addresses when building a reply. From Ruud de Rooij
797 <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
799 * Added -library switch to spost so it can parse user aliases like
800 post does. From Ruud de Rooij <r.c.m.derooij@twi.tudelft.nl>.
802 * Changed configure.in's check for sigsetjmp to properly deal
803 with systems like Linux where it is a macro. From
804 <elleron@servtech.com>.
806 * Fixed a bug in whatnow that could cause it to sometimes exit
807 without prompting the user. Based on a patch by Richard Geiger
810 * Added code to deal with SIGPIPE in mhl so it doesn't print
811 "Broken pipe" if you quit out of the moreproc.
813 * Documentation: Added a note to MACHINES about Irix make. Added a
814 pointer to the online copy of the MH book in INSTALL. Added
815 some additional information to the whatnow and packf man pages,
816 suggested by Jerry Peek <jpeek@jpeek.com>.
818 * Updated INSTALL, FAQ, etc to not refer to Richard as the
819 maintainer or math.gatech.edu as the home any more.
821 1999-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
825 * Merged mbx_open and mbx_Xopen in dropsbr.c. Fixed
826 mbx_open so that the mode of zero length maildrops
827 would not be changed.
829 * Replaced the substitute version of snprintf() with the
830 one from the Apache web server.
832 * Changed to default mode for creating new messages to 0600
833 (this should have been done a long time ago).
835 * Changed "flist" to handle searching for multiple sequences
836 for each folder. Also flist will now correctly split
837 Unseen-Sequence if it consists of multiple sequences.
839 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "refile".
841 * Added new switches `-unlink' and `-nounlink' to "rmm".
843 * More cleanups of slocal output. Changed adorn() to
844 send to stdout, instead of stderr (to match rest of
847 * Merged mbx_create() into mbx_open, so that creating and
848 opening a nonexistent maildrop is done atomically. This
849 removes a bad race condition.
851 * Fixed bug that caused slocal to be unable to save to MMDF
854 * Added new wrapper function usr_folder() to slocal.c to
855 handle adding message to folder (currently, it still uses
856 usr_pipe() to call rcvstore).
858 * seq_list() checks for empty folder before scanning for
859 sequence information.
861 * num_digits() in flist.c and folder.c now returns correct
862 value for 0. Also added sanity check.
864 * folder_delmsgs() now correctly decrements internal message
867 * Don't attempt to read sequence information if folder
870 * Split seq_read into seq_public and seq_private.
872 * Small change to sigmsg.awk, since newer versions of gawk
873 interpret 034 as octal.
875 * In flist, don't scan for sequence information in empty folder.
877 * Updated mhn.defaults.sh to output profile entries for mhshow,
878 mhstore, and mhbuild.
880 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-access-ftp" to
881 "nmh-access-ftp". Updated man pages
883 * Moved the code in InitMultipart to reverse the order of the
884 parts in a multipart, into its own function "reverse_parts()".
886 * Changed code in mhbuildsbr.c to store unencoded content
887 in the c_cefile structure when building.
889 * Changed code in mhoutsbr.c to look for unencoded content
890 in the c_cefile structure when outputing message.
892 * Changed configuration parameter "mhn-cache" and
893 "mhn-private-cache", to "nmh-cache" and "nmh-private-cache",
894 since it is used in mhstore, mhlist, and mhshow. Updated man pages
896 * Change configuration parameter "mhn-storage" to
897 "nmh-storage", since it is now used in mhstore, mhlist,
898 and mhshow. Updated man pages
900 * Add autoconf support for KPOP (kerberized pop).
902 * Add autoconf support for Hesiod.
904 * Split routines to output a message given a Content structure
905 (output_message, output_content, write7Bit, etc..) to a new
908 * Split output_content(), into output_content() and build_headers().
910 * Changed copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, to use the linked
911 list of header fields, rather than reopening the message.
913 * Added free_header() to mhfree.c to free structures containing
914 header field information.
916 * Changed get_content() to use the linked list of header fields
917 when parsing the various MIME headers (Content-XXX).
919 * Changed get_content() to store linked list of header field
920 values when parsing a content.
922 * Changed mhbuild, mhn, mhlist, mhshow, mhstore, to use the
923 routines in mhcachesbr.c to handle the content cache.
925 * Split various funtions (find_cache, find_cache_aux, find_cache_aux2,
926 cache_content) into new file mhcachesbr.c.
928 * More calls to sprintf/strcpy (primarily in mhparse.c
929 and mhbuildsbr.c) converted to snprintf/strncpy.
931 * When a message is displayed with `mhshow', it is now
932 removed from the "unseen" sequence.
934 * Change the default "showmimeproc" to "mhshow".
936 * Split "mhn -show" off into separate command "mhshow".
938 * Split "mhn -store" off into separate command "mhstore".
940 * Split "mhn -list" off into separate command "mhlist".
942 * Add sanity checks to context_find(), context_replace(),
943 and context_del(), to abort if context file hasn't been
946 * Add calls to context_read(), to the beginning of all nmh
947 commands (instead of being called indirectly by context_find).
949 * Changes the "substitute" version of vsnprintf/snprintf for
950 operating systems without native versions, to just call the
951 native vsprintf(), and ignore the buffer length. This is
952 faster, but less secure than the previous version that used
953 temporary files. This should only be a problem for systems
954 which do not have a native snprintf(), and require `inc' to
957 * Lots more calls to sprintf/strcpy converted to snprintf/strncpy.
959 * Changes client() routine to take additional parameter, which is
960 the buffer length of the parameter "response". Then added
961 buffer length checks for this parameter.
963 * Changed getws() to get_fields(), since that is apparently the
964 name of a wide character version of gets() on some archetitures.
966 * Lots of sprintf/strcpy calls converted to snprintf/strncpy.
968 * Change the code in most of the commands that take multiple
969 message names/sequences/ranges on the command, such that
970 the msgs array is expanded dynamically. This removes most
971 of the limits on the length of command lines.
973 * Add additional parameter to copyip(), to specify the
974 maximum number of strings that can be copied (security
977 * Create new function getarguments(), to massage the argument
978 vector before parsing it (add any arguments from your
979 profile to the beginning of the argument vector). This
980 also removed the general limit on the number of command line
983 1998-07-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
987 * Added a new command "delete", that is available during
988 a "whatnow" session. It is equivalent to "quit -delete".
990 * Added another parameter to editfile (in whatnowsbr.c),
991 that controls whether editfile should remember the last
992 program that was exec'ed. This way the whatnow command
993 "mime", will not be re-executed if "edit" is later given
996 * Changed whatnowsbr.c, so that whatnow doesn't abort if
997 mhbuild returns an error.
999 * Added parameter to sendsbr(), so you may specify whether to
1000 rename the draft file.
1002 * Pass delay time to splitmsg() as a parameter, rather than
1003 use a global variable.
1005 * Moved code to rename draft file after sending message from
1006 splitmsg and sendaux, to sendsbr.
1008 * Removed all the code in viamail to split messages and then
1009 mail them. Replaced this with the standard sendsbr.c routines.
1011 * Changed sendsbr(), so that when splitting messages into
1012 messages of type "message/partial", the header fields that
1013 are copied are more compliant with RFC-2046.
1015 * Fixed mhbuild to track temporary files better. They are
1016 now correctly removed when mhbuild aborts.
1018 * Created a new man page for "sendfiles". The information
1019 about "mhn -viamail" in the "mhn" man page was moved to
1022 * Changed the name of the "viamail" shell script to
1023 "sendfiles". Modified "sendfiles" to use the new
1026 * Moved the functionality for "mhn -viamail" out of mhn,
1027 and into a separate executable called "viamail".
1029 * When storing MIME contents to a folder using mhn -store,
1030 they are now accumulated in a temporary file, and then added
1031 to the folder using folder_addmsg().
1033 * Moved code to save content to a folder from store_content
1034 to new function output_content_folder.
1036 * Moved code to save content to file from store_content to
1037 new function output_content_file.
1039 * Moved code to parse storage format string from store_content
1040 to new function parse_format_string.
1042 * Fix copy_some_headers() in mhstoresbr.c, so that the
1043 correct header fields in the first enclosing message/partial
1044 will be copied (according to RFC2046), when using mhn -store
1045 to reassemble messages of type message/partial.
1047 * Fixed bug to openFTP() in mhparse.c, that caused the
1048 tmp file to not be removed, when transferring a
1049 message/external file from ftp.
1051 * Moved the code in mhparse.c to process -auto switch (scan
1052 contents for the attribute "name"), to a new function
1053 "get_storeproc" in mhstoresbr.c.
1055 * Moved routines to free data structures related to MIME
1056 content from mhparse.c and mhbuildsbr.c, to new file
1059 * Moved code to show/display MIME content into new
1062 * Moved code to store MIME content from into
1063 new file mhstoresbr.c
1065 * Moved code to parse MIME content into new
1068 * Moved code to list information about MIME content
1069 into new file mhlistsbr.c.
1071 * Move part_ok(), type_ok(), content_error(), flush_errors(),
1072 and set_endian() to new file mhmisc.c.
1074 * Start to isolate the code to show, list, and store MIME
1075 messages. One side effect is that only one flag (-show,
1076 -list, or -store) can be used at a time now.
1078 * mhn -store -auto wasn't storing file in correct directory.
1080 * Removed a few dead variables from sbr/ruserpass.c
1082 * move code for creating tmp files, and renaming the
1083 the composition draft in mhbuild, from build_mime()
1086 * remove left-over code in mhbuild.c, mhbuildsbr.c, for
1087 the -[no]auto switch (which isn't used in mhbuild).
1089 * split mhn.c into mhn.c and mhnsbr.c (name later changed
1092 * split mhbuild.c into mhbuild.c and mhbuildsbr.c.
1094 1998-05-25 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1096 * Released nmh-0.26.
1098 * Added (unlisted) options [no]dashstuffing to send, post,
1099 and whatnow to determine whether to do RFC934 quoting
1100 (dashstuffing) for encapsulated BCC messages. The default
1101 is still the same (dashstuffing).
1103 * Changed the undocumented feature "nodashmunging" in forw
1104 and mhl, into the documented feature "nodashstuffing". The
1105 default for forw, is still "dashstuffing" for backward
1106 compatibility, although I don't believe that bursting
1107 RFC934 digests is very common anymore.
1109 * Added an option to define REALLYDUMB in the default config.h.
1110 But it is not on by default.
1112 * moved creation of config file mts.conf from zotnet/mts
1113 to etc. This simplified the Makefile in zotnet/mts.
1115 * simplified directory support/general to etc.
1117 * removed unneeded directory support/bboards.
1119 * split getusername() into getusername() and getuserinfo().
1121 * Changed getusr() routine to getusername().
1123 * Slight cleanup in folder_pack.c on code that records the new
1124 number of the "cur" message when packing.
1126 1998-05-08 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1128 * Released nmh-0.25.
1130 * Change install process, so that hard linking the correct mts
1131 library to libmts.a, is not necessary. The final link process
1132 uses the original name of the library.
1134 * Fixed bug in flist.c and folder.c, so that symbolic links which
1135 point to directories, will not decrement the number of directory
1138 * Split the function list_content (in mhn.c and mhbuild.c) into
1139 list_content and list_debug.
1141 * Don't pack (folder -pack) an empty folder.
1143 * Exit gracefully in flist.c, if no sequence is specified,
1144 and no "Unseen-Sequence" is given in nmh profile.
1146 1998-02-27 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1148 * Released nmh-0.24.
1150 * Small clarification to the man page for `ali'.
1152 * Fix bug in inc.c so that if both flags `-file' and `-truncate'
1153 are given, that order doesn't matter.
1155 * Fix bug in seq_list.c when realloc'ing for
1156 large sequence line.

1162 * Add new section on "Transfer Encodings" to man page for mhbuild.
1164 * In mhbuild.c, split compose_content into compose_content
1165 (parse and execute composition string), and scan_content (scan
1166 content, decided transfer encoding, check for clash with boundary
1167 string). I did a good amount of rearranging of this code.
1169 * Moved definitions for data structures for parsing MIME
1170 messages from mhn.c and mhbuild.c to a new include
1173 * Small amount of rearranging in sendsbr.c
1175 * Small changes to MAIL.FILTERING file.
1177 * Add the file MAIL.FILTERING to nmh distribution.
1179 * Add line to packf so that if message begins with
1180 "X-Envelope-From:" field, it is converted to "From ".
1182 * Fix packf to add "From " line to beginning of message,
1183 even if Return-Path doesn't exist.
1185 * Add note to MACHINES file that on Linux, configure
1186 doesn't find the functions sigsetjmp/siglongjmp.
1188 * Fix configuration for machines that don't have (or find)

1196 #define's in h/signals.h in case it's not found.
1198 * Added additional notes about -auto switch in mhn man page.
1200 * Added note about MM_CHARSET environment variable to
1201 mh-profile(5) man page.

1206 1998-02-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1208 * Released nmh-0.22-pre1.
1210 * Changed the first line in mhl.format from
1211 " -- using template mhl.format -- " to a blank line.
1213 * Added note about automimeproc to mh-profile man page.
1215 * Reorganize the main entry point for parsing a MIME message
1216 or file in mhn. Add new function parse_file() as new main
1217 entry point for parsing MIME files.
1219 * Add note to mhn man page, that "mhn -file -" will accept the
1220 source message on the standard input.
1222 * Changed a sanity check in folder_realloc that was too strict.
1224 * -norfc934mode is now the default for mhbuild,
1225 rather than -rfc934mode.
1227 * Fix mhbuild, so that Content-Description and RFC-822 comments
1228 from #forw directive will be correctly included if there is
1231 * Change mhn to correctly default parts of multipart/digest to
1232 message/rfc822 (leftover code from rfc934mode was removed).
1234 * Restore HP specific code to zotnet/tws/lexstring.c. Apparently
1237 1998-02-06 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1239 * Released nmh-0.21.
1241 * If the file given to mhbuild is "-", then accept the draft on
1242 standard input, and output the MIME message to standard output.
1244 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what transfer
1247 * Cleaned up code in mhbuild.c that decides what character set
1248 to use for text contents.
1250 * Removed old hpux specific code from zotnet/tws/lexstring.c
1252 1998-02-02 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1254 * Released nmh-0.21-pre2.
1256 * Added the "decode" variable to mhl.format and mhl.header.
1258 * Added new variable "decode" to mhlsbr.c to decode text in
1259 header fields as per RFC-2047.
1261 * Make sure that when decoding RFC-2047 header fields, that any
1262 spaces at the ends of the encoded text are not ignored, but the
1263 spaces between encoded word are.
1265 * Removed #ifdef's for MIME. MIME support is always compiled in.
1267 * scan/inc will now decode both Subject and From lines as
1268 RFC-2047 encoded header fields.
1270 * Added new function write_charset_8bit() to sbr. It returns
1271 the character set to use for 8bit text in composition draft.
1272 Changed mhbuild to use this function.
1274 * Split mhn man page into man pages for mhn and mhbuild.
1276 * mhn -show will only now only use default method for content
1277 of type plain, if it is NOT a part of a multipart/alternative.
1279 * Split mhn -build into mhbuild. Did some code cleanup.
1281 * Added support for %(decode) to fmtdump.c.
1283 * check_charset() now accepts US-ASCII as a subset of any
1284 ISO-8859-X character set.
1286 * Changed the default "showproc" to mhl, instead of the
1289 * When reading file into mhn composition file, only need read
1290 permissions, not write permissions.
1292 * Added own version of strcasecmp to distribution, since
1293 nmh calls it frequently with NULL pointers (ughh).
1295 * Replaced uleq.c with strcasecmp. Removed uleq.c from
1298 1998-01-22 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1300 * Released nmh-0.21-pre1.
1302 * If a message is missing charset parameter to text/plain, show
1303 will assume US-ASCII, rather than just calling showmimeproc.
1305 * Change show.c and mshcmds.c to use check_charset to see if text
1306 message contains valid character set.
1308 * Added new scan format file "scan.nomime" to support/general
1309 that doesn't do any RFC-2047 decoding.
1311 * Modified all the scan format files in support/general to do
1312 RFC-2047 decoding of Subject field.
1314 * Did more work on sbr/fmt_rfc2047.c, so that it will correctly
1315 ignore whitespace between two valid encoded words, but not
1316 between an encoded word and normal text.
1318 * Created new file sbr/check_charset.c. Moved code from
1319 fmt_rfc2047.c to check for valid character set to this file.
1321 * Added format escape %(decode) to decode contents of "str" register
1322 as a RFC-2047 header field.
1324 * The command install-mh now recognizes the switches -version
1327 * Added a new argument to print_help.c to decide whether to
1328 print profile entries (needed for install-mh to prevent weird
1331 * Changed folder_read.c and folder_realloc.c so that mp->lowoff
1332 is initialize to max (mp->lowmsg, 1) rather than always 1.
1334 * Changed macros for sequence/attribute manipulation so that
1335 message status array doesn't need to always start at 1.
1337 * Small cleanups in folder_realloc().
1339 1998-01-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1341 * Released nmh-0.20.
1343 * Added configure option --with-pager=PAGER.
1345 * Added configure option --with-editor=EDITOR.
1347 * Changed the default format file for mhl (mhl.format) to
1348 also ignore (not display) the header fields Content-Type,
1349 Content-Transfer-Encoding, and Content-ID
1351 * Fixed core dump in addrsbr.c when using %(proper) format function
1352 and the To: line was missing.
1354 * Added the file ZSH.COMPLETION to the distribution.
1356 1998-01-04 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1358 * Released nmh-0.20-pre2.
1360 * Added new switch -snoop to both `msgchk' and `inc', so you can
1361 watch the POP transaction.
1363 * Changed "replgroupcomps" to check for Mail-Followup-To header
1364 first, and use it if available.
1366 * Changed "replcomps" to check for Mail-Reply-To header
1367 first, and use it if available.
1369 1998-01-03 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1371 * Released nmh-0.20-pre1.
1373 * Changed seq_list.c to dynamically enlarge the buffer for
1374 collecting the message ranges in a long sequence line.
1375 This should remove the last hard limit on the size of a
1378 * Changed seq_read.c so that can read long sequence lines.
1379 It will use multiple calls to m_getfld() when m_getfld()
1380 returns the state FLDPLUS.
1382 * Changed brkstring.c to dynamically add more space for pointers
1383 if necessary. This is needed when splitting up large sequence
1386 * Did some small cleanups in seq_save.c.
1388 * Added new switches `-[no]unseen' to rcvstore, to control
1389 whether new messages are added to Unseen-Sequence.
1391 * Moved locking routines (zotnet/mts/lock.c) to sbr/lock_file.c
1393 * Changed the internal UNSEEN flag to SELECT_UNSEEN which is
1394 more appropriate. Changed the MHPATH flag to ALLOW_NEW.
1396 * Changed "replcomps" to not include CC and TO lines so that
1397 that reply message is only directed at the author of the
1398 message to which you are replying.
1400 * Added new switch `-group' to command repl, which causes repl
1401 to use new forms file "replgroupcomps". This is intended for
1402 making group replies.
1404 * Removed #ifdef for ATHENA.
1406 1997-12-28 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1408 * Released nmh-0.19.
1410 * Fix repl,forw so that switch `-form file' will not abort
1411 as ambiguious (silly mistake on my part).
1413 * Cleaned up the mhn man page. Added info about a few escapes
1414 for the formatting/display strings that were not documented
1415 (%%, %t). Moved the BNF grammar for the mime composition file,
1416 to the end of the man page.
1418 * Added the options -[no]format to the command repl. The
1419 switch `-format' will filter the message to which you are
1420 replying with the standard message filter "mhl.reply", which
1421 is now included in the distribution. The `-noformat' option
1422 will negate the use of -format or -filter and not include
1423 the message to which you are replying in the draft.
1425 * Did some cleaning and reorganization on many of the man
1428 * Added debugging switch `-debug' to mhparam, which displays
1429 the values of all `procs' (and some other misc configuration
1430 info) that nmh keeps in global variables.
1432 * When using `refile -preserve', if a conflict occurs, then use
1433 the next available number above the message number you wish
1436 * In forw.c, split the code for creating MIME style forwarding
1437 out of copy_draft, and into copy_mime_draft.
1439 * Move routines in mark.c to print sequences, into new
1440 file sbr/seq_print.c
1442 * flist will now update the current folder.
1444 * Added the switches -[no]fast to flist, to replace
1445 -[no]total. The previous switches are still accepted
1446 but now undocumented.
1448 * More reorganization in flist of the code for
1451 * The command "flist +foo -all" will now scan the folder
1452 "foo" and all its 1st level children.
1454 * Add missing include file <h/mh.h> to sbr/snprintf.c
1456 * Fix alarm bug in rcvtty, so that when it calls external
1457 process, the alarm is never longer than 30 minutes.
1459 1997-12-17 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1461 * Released nmh-0.18.
1463 * Fixed bug in mark, so that "mark -list -seq foo" will
1464 correctly indicate if "foo" is a private sequence. I found
1465 this bug mentioned in Jerry Peek's book.
1467 * Simplified the code in seq_setcur(), since seq_addmsg() now
1468 retains the public/private status of sequences.
1470 * Changed sequence handling so that if the switches -public
1471 or -nopublic, are not specified for the commands mark, pick,
1472 or rcvstore, then existing sequences will retain their
1473 previous public/private status.
1475 * mhparam now handles the mh-sequences profile entry
1478 * flist -all will now also check readonly folders (for
1481 * Improve the leaf optimization for folder command.
1482 It will now track the number of directories in a folder,
1483 and stop stat'ing files once it has hit all the subfolders.
1485 * Renamed m_getfolder to getfolder. Changed getfolder to
1486 take option to determine whether it should get current
1487 folder, or just default folder (Inbox). Changed rcvstore,
1488 inc, and rmf to use the new getfolder.
1490 * flist now indicates if a sequence is private.
1492 * Change WUNTRACED to 0, in pidwait.c, so that commands will
1493 wait for stopped processes.
1495 * conflict will dynamically allocate space for group names,
1496 so it can now handle system with more than 100 groups.
1498 1997-12-09 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1500 * Released nmh-0.18-pre4.
1502 * Check if we have enough message status space, before we
1503 call folder_realloc() in burst, mhpath, and m_draft().
1505 * mhn will now correctly identify a formatting string of "-"
1506 for the option -store, and send content to stdout.
1508 * Change the way that memory for message status is
1509 allocated. It is dynamcially allocated separately from
1510 the folder/message structure. This required changing
1511 folder_read.c, folder_realloc.c, folder_free.c.
1513 * Removed all the MTR code (experimental code for message
1516 * Renamed m_readfolder.c to folder_read.c and simplified
1519 * Renamed m_freefolder.c to folder_free.c.
1521 * Add function trim() to slocal.c to pretty print
1522 the debugging output.
1524 * Changed the name of m_packfolder() to folder_pack().
1525 Changed the name of m_remsg() to folder_realloc().
1527 Wed Dec 3 23:33:38 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1529 * Released nmh-0.18-pre3.
1531 * Changed installation to add `flists' which is hard linked
1532 to `flist'. This is a equivalent to `flist -all'.
1534 * For flist, -showzero is on by default.
1536 * Major changes to flist. Default is now for flist to search
1537 current folder. The switch `-all' is now used to specify
1538 searching all top level folders. The new switch `-showzero'
1539 is used to print out folders that don't contain any messages
1540 in the given sequence.
1542 * Split BuildFolderList in flist.c into 2 functions
1543 (BuildFolderList, BuildFolderListR). Changed these functions
1544 so that flist now does better leaf optimization, and will stop
1545 stat'ing directory entries when it knows it has hit all the
1546 subdirectories of a given directory.
1548 * Reorganized code in folder.c, so that all relevant folders
1549 are scanned first and information recorded. Then all the
1550 folder summaries at printed out at one time.
1552 * Made the options of folder(s) more orthogonal. Now
1553 "folder -all -noheader -nototal" will do the right thing.
1555 * Added `-noall' switch to folder, for completeness.
1557 * Changed the default mode for creation of new folders
1560 * Slightly changed the format for flist. It now indicates
1561 if a folder is current. Also the width of the various
1562 fields are now calculated at runtime.
1564 * Changed the format for folder(s). Folder names
1565 are now left justified. The width of the various fields
1566 are calculated at runtime.
1568 Sun Nov 30 19:14:53 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1570 * Released nmh-0.18-pre2.
1572 * Add paragraph to man page for install-mh and to INSTALL file
1573 about checking for global mh.profile.
1575 * Renamed m_find() to context_find().
1576 Renamed m_replace() to context_replace().
1577 Renamed m_delete() to context_del().
1578 Renamed m_update() to context_save().
1579 Renamed m_getdefs() to context_read().
1580 Renamed m_foil() to context_foil().
1582 * Change rcvstore to use routine folder_addmsg(), instead of
1583 adding message to folder itself.
1585 * Changed refile, so that if the switch -preserve is used,
1586 and a conflict occurs for a particular folder, then folder_addmsg()
1587 will just use next highest available number for that folder,
1590 * Make folder_addmsg() more robust. It will make repeated
1591 attempts to link file into folder if link returns with
1594 * Fix bug, so that that if forking sendmail, HELO will be sent
1595 unless clientname: option is defined but empty (so now it
1596 is the same as the direct smtp code).
1598 * Changed sprintb to snprintb (now we pass the buffer length
1599 to new routine). Changed code to use new function.
1601 * Added snprintf to sbr. Added configure check to build it
1602 if you don't have a native version (but haven't changed much
1603 code to use it yet).
1605 Thu Nov 13 18:42:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1607 * Released nmh-0.18-pre1.
1609 * Fixed alarm bug in slocal, so that alarm is never
1610 called with a value larger than 30 mintues.
1612 * Fixed race condition in rmm and refile, so that
1613 context is updated before external rmmproc is called.
1615 * Removed all the OVERHEAD code.
1617 * Move code to add message to folder from refile.c
1620 Fri Jul 25 19:39:29 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1622 * Did some rearranging of the internals of inc.c.
1624 * Make -inplace the default for anno, forw, dist, and repl.
1626 * Changed --enable-smtp to --with-mts={smtp,sendmail}
1628 * Created new directory mts/sendmail for direct sendmail
1629 interface (although it currently still uses SMTP).
1631 * Removed all the TMA (trusted mail agent) code
1633 * Removed all the TTYD (terminal access daemon) code
1635 * Removed all the MF (uucp filtering) code.
1637 * Removed all the code for BERK.
1639 * Removed all the code for stand-alone delivery (MHMTS).
1641 * Split the file mts/sendmail/smail.c into sendmail.c and
1642 smtp.c. Changed the name of the directory to mts/smtp.
1644 * Changed autoconf to use @sysconfdir@ for location of
1645 configuration files.
1647 * Changed #define in mhn.c from FTP to BUILTIN_FTP.
1649 Mon Jul 21 03:22:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1651 * Released nmh-0.17.
1653 * MAKEDEFS weren't passed down to recursive makes correctly.
1655 * slocal.c now checks for UTMP_FILE and _PATH_UTMP instead
1656 of hard-coding "/etc/utmp".
1658 * rcvtty.c check for _PATH_UTMP if UTMP_FILE is not
1661 * Remove configure checks for ulong and ushort. Changed
1662 code to just use unsigned {short, long}.
1664 * Change addmsg function in refile.c to return new
1665 number of refiled message.
1667 * Added check in get_returnpath for empty unixbuf.
1669 * Cleanup of sbr/pidstatus to use more POSIX macros
1670 for return value of wait().
1672 * Change configure to also check /bin for "more".
1674 Sat Jul 12 00:02:23 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1676 * Released nmh-0.16.
1678 Mon Jun 23 20:13:24 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1680 * Added automimeproc, which should replace automhnproc.
1682 * multipart messages will no longer abort for messages
1683 of type 8bit or binary (although we still can't really
1684 deal with binary messages, yet).
1686 * Fix double free of c_storage. From John MacMillan.
1688 * mhn now treats unknown subtypes of "text" as text/plain.
1690 * mhn changed so that specifying mhn-show-multipart, or
1691 mhn-show-multipart/{mixed, alternate, etc...) will override
1692 the use of the internal method for displaying these types.
1693 Previously mhn would always use the internal method for subtypes
1694 mixed, alternate, digest, and parallel (even if an alternate
1695 method was specified in mhn.defaults).
1697 * mhn show treats unknown subtypes of multipart, as type
1698 multipart/mixed (as specified RFC2046).
1700 * mhn checks for the parameter "name" rather than "x-name".
1701 From MH-6.8.4 patch.
1703 * Fix double free of ctinfo in user_content when using
1704 #forw with single message. From John MacMillan (and
1707 * Changed -mhnproc switch for show, to -showmimeproc.
1709 * Changed profile entry "mhnproc" to "showmimeproc".
1711 * Added "mime" option to "whatnow", which calls the program
1712 "buildmimeproc" (default is mhn -build) to process MIME
1715 * Added -build switch to mhn, to process MIME composition
1718 * Did some reorganizing of mhn.c.
1720 * Changed casting in mts/sendmail/smail.c from (char) to
1721 (signed char) so SMTP reply codes work correctly for machines
1722 which used unsigned chars by default.
1724 Sat Jun 21 01:21:47 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1726 * Released nmh-0.15.
1728 * Added new form "scan.unseen" to distribution. It marks messages
1729 which are in any sequence in Unseen-Sequence.
1731 * Do some rearranging of date/time code in zotnet/tws/dtime.c
1733 * Fix sign extension bugs in fmt_scan.c.
1735 * Fix m_atoi.c so that strings ending in non-digit characters
1738 * Split code in burst.c so that finding delimiters of digested
1739 messages and bursting a message into multiple messages are
1740 two separate functions (find_delim and burst).
1742 * Add workaround fo AC_PATH_PROG in configure.in, so
1743 that BSD4.4 machines can find sendmail, vi, more.
1745 * Added "-width" option to rcvtty.
1747 * Change a few variable names in zotnet/mts/client.c since
1748 they conflict with defines on AIX.
1750 * Makefile in zotnet/tws assumes lexing of dtimep.lex was
1751 unsuccessful if resulting file is less than 500 lines long
1752 (rather than 10, which was previous value), since AIX
1753 sed gives mangled file of about 200 lines.
1755 * Extract code in rcvstore.c to link message into folder,
1756 and put in own subroutine.
1758 * Extract code in refile.c to link message into folder,
1759 and put in own subroutine.
1761 * Moved code to remove messages from folder into own
1762 routine "folder_delmsgs" in sbr. Changed rmm.c and
1763 refile.c to use new routine.
1765 Fri May 16 06:09:31 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
1767 * Renamed m_seqok to seq_nameok.
1769 * Changed m_setunseen, msh, mshcmds, flist, and scan to use
1772 * Changed m_seqflag to return the number of a sequence rather
1773 than its bit flag. Changed its name to seq_getnum and renamed
1774 file to sbr/seq_getnum.c.
1776 * Removed function m_seqnew and file sbr/m_seqnew.c since it is
1779 * Added zero switch to m_seqadd function to zero out bits before
1780 adding message to sequence.
1782 * Renamed function m_setvis to m_setunseen, and renamed
1783 corresponding file in sbr.
1785 * Renamed function m_setseq to m_setprev, and renamed corresponding
1788 * Changed mark.c and pick.c to use m_seqaddsel and m_seqdelsel.
1790 * Added new function m_seqdelsel to m_seqdel.c, which deletes
1791 all selected messages from a sequence.
1793 * Added new function m_seqaddsel to m_seqadd.c, which adds all

1890 will suppress the display of the message header.
1892 * mhparam will now return "mhparam etcdir".
1894 * Add catproc to /config/config.c and use that in show.c

1911 * sbr/getcpy.c : assign '\0' to character, not NULL.
1913 * add m_fmsg to most programs in uip so that they explicitly free
1914 folder/message structure when done with folder.
1916 * uip/slocal.c : cleanup processing of sender. Make sure it is

1979 * Released nmh-0.08.
1981 * Changed slocal to lock .maildelivery (or file given by -maildelivery)
1982 when accessing ndbm/db file for duplicate suppression, instead of

1993 * Changed the slocal action `mbox' to deliver in mbox (uucp) format
1994 rather than mmdf format.
1996 * slocal now adds Delivery-Date field to all messages (previously it
1997 only added it to messages when delivering them to a file). The
1998 "From " line is now retained on all messages if compiling with

2008 * Changed packf so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2009 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to
2010 packf so you can choose the preferred format.
2012 * Changed rcvpack so that it uses mbox (uucp) format by default
2013 rather than mmdf format. Added options -mbox and -mmdf to

2016 Tue Feb 18 00:01:05 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2018 * Changed nmh to use dot locking by default (although you
2019 can still easily change this in config.h).
2021 * Simplified locking code. Removed code allowing setting of
2022 locking type in mts.conf. Now the locking type and locking
2023 directory (if any) can only be set at compile time.
2025 Fri Feb 14 02:49:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2027 * Prefer getting timezone information from tm->gmtoff rather

2042 is not found, build version of ruserpass in sbr.
2044 * Added define's to discard.c, m_getfld.c, and scansbr.c so
2045 the code that manipulates internals of stdio, will build
2048 * Added #define to control whether to compile the simple
2049 built-in FTP client in mhn.

2062 * Released nmh-0.06.
2064 * Removed code for machines that don't have socket
2065 interface (how could they get mail anyway?).
2067 * Removed code for BSD41 machines. I don't think there are
2068 many such machines around anymore.
2070 * Add configure check for function uname, and prefer it
2071 over gethostname. General cleanup of zotnet/mts/mts.c.
2073 * Change all `lseek' calls to use POSIX symbolic constants
2074 SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, SEEK_END.
2076 Thu Feb 6 01:16:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2078 * Check lex generated file in zotnet/tws and use
2079 pre-generated version if necessary.
2081 * Released nmh-0.05.
2083 * Change to use reliable signals on all platforms that have
2084 sigaction. Change so that interrupted system calls are
2085 restarted for all signals except SIGALRM. This fixes alarm
2086 handling code in smail.c for BSD based systems.
2088 * Added lorder and tsort commands so that created libs can
2089 be linked in one pass.
2091 Tue Feb 4 01:33:00 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2093 * Changed pidwait so that while it is waiting for a child,
2094 it should block signals rather than ignore them.
2096 Mon Feb 3 21:05:30 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2098 * Add checks to configure for dbm_open and -lndbm.
2100 Thu Jan 30 05:15:42 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2102 * folder -pop and folder -push were freeing some memory too
2103 quickly, which caused the entry popped from the stack to not
2104 become the current folder.
2106 Wed Jan 29 01:28:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2108 * Released nmh-0.04.

2113 Sun Jan 26 20:25:10 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2115 * editfile will create a symbolic link to the altmsg if it
2116 can't make a link, on any machine supporting lstat. Formerly
2117 this would happen only on BSD42 based machines.
2119 Sat Jan 25 22:54:26 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2121 * traverse (in popsbr.c) wasn't calling va_start before using
2122 variable argument list. Fixes core dump in inc when using POP.
2124 Fri Jan 24 03:27:59 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2126 * The variable pass in remotemail needed to be set to
2127 NULL. (From MH-6.8.4 diff). Fixes core dump of msgchk when
2130 * inc and msgchk were using -rpop by default when configured
2131 with POP support. Default is now -norpop.
2133 Thu Jan 23 02:01:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2135 * By default, post will now give the SMTP HELO command with
2136 the local hostname. If you specify a hostname with the
2137 clientname: option in mts.conf file, post will give the
2138 HELO command with that name instead. If the argument to the
2139 clientname: option is empty, no HELO command is given.
2140 (From the MH-6.8.4 diff)
2142 Wed Jan 22 01:55:45 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2144 * When using `-help' for a command, it will also print its
2145 profile compents from .mh_profile. (From MH-6.8.4 diff)
2147 * "slocal -file" will now correctly takes its input from
2148 a file (currently need to specify full path).
2150 Sun Jan 19 20:37:21 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2152 * "slocal -debug" will now issue a warning if a non-blank
2153 line in the .maildelivery file has less than 5 fields.
2155 Sat Jan 18 02:26:41 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2157 * Changed slocal so that code for duplicate suppression
2158 (MH config was MSGID) is always built. Added the options
2159 -[no]suppressdup to slocal to turn this on/off.
2161 Thu Jan 16 00:26:34 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2163 * Released nmh-0.03.
2165 * Fixed problem where mark would core dump if no
2166 .mh_sequence file existed.
2168 * Fixed problem where slocal would core dump if -debug
2169 option was given, and certain headers were missing.
2171 * Added patch to slocal to add `folder' (+) action, which
2172 is shorthand for piping message to rcvstore. Updated
2175 Wed Jan 15 21:30:17 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2177 * Changed flist option -unseen to -[no]all. Cleaned up
2180 Fri Jan 10 20:36:33 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2182 * Fixed flist. Changed the profile component `Folder-Order'
2183 to `Flist-Order. Added option `-sequence' to flist, so
2184 you can specify the name of the sequence to search for.
2186 Thu Jan 9 00:20:48 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2188 * A few minor portability cleanups. Changed to use PATH_MAX
2189 rather than MAXPATHLEN. Don't assume ospeed variable exists
2190 in termsbr.c. Removed some conflicting prototypes.
2192 Wed Jan 8 11:05:02 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2194 * Add configure test to check if tgetent will accept NULL
2195 and allocate its own buffer. Borrowed from zsh.
2197 * Changed libpath to etcpath.
2199 Mon Jan 6 04:15:35 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2201 * Cleaned up source code and Makefiles, so that if your `make'
2202 supports the VPATH option, you can build nmh in a different
2203 directory from where the source code is located.
2205 Fri Jan 3 05:05:18 1997 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2207 * Released nmh-0.02.

2227 * Changed mhn_defaults to mhn.defaults. Changed create_mhn_defaults
2228 (again) to mhn.defaults.sh. Changed find_program (again) to
2229 mhn.find.sh. mhn.defaults.sh now takes the search path
2230 as an argument. Default search path is now specified in Makefile
2231 rather than in script.
2233 Fri Dec 27 16:34:01 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2235 * Changed mtstailor file to mts.conf. Updated man pages.
2237 * Changed si_value to si_val in mhn.c, since it conflicts with

2242 * Added --enable-nmh-mhe (and --disable-nmh-mhe) to enable/disable
2243 support for Emacs front-end mhe. It is on by default.
2245 * Added the following configure options: --enable-nmh-pop to
2246 enable client side pop support, --enable-nmh-smtp to enable
2247 SMTP support. Client-side pop support now compiles. Man
2248 pages for inc, msgchk, mh-chart now correctly added pop
2251 Tue Dec 24 14:33:20 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2253 * Added configure test for bug in C libraries where linker
2254 can't find ruserpass, but can find _ruserpass.
2256 * Fixed configure test so that termcap variable ospeed is
2259 Mon Dec 23 19:40:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2261 * Source files converted to ANSI C.
2263 * md5 now compiled separately rather than being included

2266 Fri Dec 20 02:29:37 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2268 * Collected the error routines adios, advise, admonish, and advertise
2269 into one file (error.c), and did some rearranging of the code.
2271 Thu Dec 19 19:05:29 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2273 * Added awk script sigmsg.awk (originally written by
2274 Geoff Wing <mason@werple.apana.org.au> for zsh) to
2275 automatically generate signal messages for pidstatus.c.
2276 Added files sbr/signals.c, h/signals.h. Code now uses
2277 sigprocmask to block signals (if available). Code now uses
2278 signal blocking on non-BSD machines.
2280 Wed Dec 18 01:55:17 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2282 * Add configure check for ATTVIBUG. From Soren's mh autoconf work.
2284 * Released nmh-0.01.

2287 you have (POSIX or BSD style signals). Added function
2288 SIGPROCMASK to simulate sigprocmask on machines that don't
2291 Fri Dec 13 19:40:48 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2293 * Added -version switch to all commands. Also added to
2296 Mon Dec 9 16:36:54 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2298 * Renamed uip/trmsbr.c to termsbr.c and changed it to use
2299 POSIX termios.h style functions if present.
2301 Tue Dec 3 16:18:39 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2303 * Changed support/general/bootmhn.sh to output new mhn_defaults
2304 file to standard output by default (makes it easier for testing).
2305 Changed name of script to create_mhn_defaults. Changed bootmhn.findit
2306 script to find_program.
2308 Sun Dec 1 10:00:00 1996 Richard Coleman <coleman@math.gatech.edu>
2310 * Added patch to uip/folder.c from exmh distribution to
2311 speed up -recurse option.
2313 * Added flist command from exmh distribution. It doesn't work
2314 yet, but it compiles :-)
2316 * Changed default location for install to
2317 /usr/local/nmh/{bin,etc,lib,man}. Split files so that format
2318 and configuration files go in nmh/etc, and support binaries go
2319 in nmh/lib. Of course, all this can now be changed in the top
2322 * Started with mh-6.8.3 as based and converted to autoconf.
2323 Rewrote all the Makefiles. Currently only works with sendmail/smtp.
2324 Pop support and plenty of other things, are now broken.
